Today in history | 31 July 2025

Munshi Premchand, born on 31 July 1880, is celebrated as one of the greatest literary figures in Indian history. Renowned for his profound storytelling in Hindi and Urdu, Premchand highlighted the realities of rural India, social injustice, and human emotions through iconic works like Godaan, Nirmala, and Karmabhoomi. His realistic narratives and deep empathy for the common man earned him the title of "Upanyas Samrat" (Emperor of Novels). On his birth anniversary, we honor his immense contribution to Indian literature and social awakening.
