Eidgah, a poignant short story by the legendary Munshi Premchand, captures the essence of childhood innocence and the power of selfless love. Set against the backdrop of Eid festivities, the story follows young Hamid, an orphan boy, as he embarks on a heartwarming journey.  

With limited funds, Hamid faces a dilemma: should he indulge in personal pleasures or make a selfless sacrifice? His decision, fueled by empathy and compassion, leaves a lasting impact on the reader. Idgah is not just a tale of a child's sacrifice; it's a profound exploration of human values, the importance of giving, and the enduring power of kindness.  

This timeless classic continues to inspire readers of all ages, reminding us of the simple joys of life and the importance of compassion.

Om forfatteren

Munshi Premchand, born Dhanpat Rai on July 31, 1880, in Lamhi, near Varanasi, India, was a renowned Indian author of novels and short stories in Hindi and Urdu. He is considered one of the greatest literary figures of modern India.

Premchand's works delved into the social realities of his time, exposing the exploitation of the rural peasantry, the injustices of the British colonial system, and the caste-ridden society of India. His writings often reflected the struggles of the common people, particularly women and the marginalized.

Some of his most famous works include novels like "Godan" (The Gift of a Cow), "Sevasadan" (The Abode of Service), and "Karmabhumi" (The Land of Karma), and short story collections like "Kahaaniyan" and "Mansarovar."

Premchand's literary contributions earned him immense recognition and respect. He was a pioneer in adapting Indian themes to Western literary styles, making his works accessible to a wider audience. His legacy continues to inspire and influence writers and readers alike, making him a timeless figure in Indian literature. He passed away on October 8, 1936, in Varanasi.
