ABOUT THE WRITER

Dhanpat Rai Srivastava began writing under the pen name of “Nawab Rai” and soon switched to “Premchand”. He has been lauded for his rationalistic outlook on everyday struggles of the poor and middle-class in his writing. He used his writing to bring attention to poverty, corruption, prostitution, and the Indian freedom struggle.
