Rangbhumi (Hindi)
Dhanpat Rai wrote under the pen name of Nawab Rai, which subsequently changed to Premchand. He was born on 31st July 1880 in the village of Lamhi, in Benaras. Having been born into a middle-class family, he observed life closely amid deprivation and inconvenience and dedicated his life to literature. He was honoured with various titles such as ‘a great novelist’, ‘story –writer’, and many more. He gave in to his prolonged illness and died on 8th October, 1936.
This novel, Rangbhumi, emphasises mainly the prevalence of deeds and rights. A woman’s helplessness and plight have been revealed in this book. On one hand, where the rich ones are being blinded by their powerful position and exploit the poor, on the other hand, truth, dedication and nonviolence strengthen a man who is being oppressed in society. This novel depicts the social, political, religious and economic issues of India that were under the clench of slavery.
