Kalayan Theatre Presents Ek Shaam Premchand Ke Naam, July 29-31, 2016.

Literature is the trustworthy knowledge that lights our paths when one loses his/her way and go astray, and Litterateurs are the torch-bearers of the truth. So believed Munshi Premchand, who was the first Hindi author to introduce social realism in his writings. He believed in social evolution, and his ideal was equal opportunities for all.

Ek Shaam Premchand Ke Naam is an anthology of his short stories and stage adaptations of the same.

Kafan - A dark comedy and a heart-wrenching story where a woman dies during child birth. Her husband and father-in- law raise money for her Kafan, only to realise the futility of it. It deals with the survival instincts of the dirt poor.

Sadgati - Premchand deals with the social exploitation of the 'untouchables', their abject poverty and their dehumanization by the upper class. A dark truth which keeps re-surfacing even in today's India.

Poos Ki Raat - A story of a poor farmer who struggles to ward off the bitter cold of winter nights, with only his dog for company.

Literature according to Premchand, is a powerful means of educating public opinion. His greatness lies in the fact that his writings embody social purpose and social criticism rather than mere experience.
