Writers

Munshi Premchand  was a famous writer of modern Hindi-Urdu literature. In India, he is generally recognized as the foremost Hindi-Urdu writer during the early twentieth century.

The main characteristic of Premchand's writings is his interesting story-telling and use of simple language. His novels describe the problems of the rural peasant classes. He avoided the use of highly Sanskritized Hindi (as was the common practice among Hindi writers), but rather he used the dialect of the common people.
