In seventh-century Arabia, Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam
Hussain, sacrificed his life and his family members and companions
in the desert of Karbala, Iraq, to resist the debauched ruler
Yazid. In twentieth-century India, when the communal conflict was
at its peak, Premchand wrote a play about this pivotal event of
Islamic history and transformed it into a nationalist narrative.
This first-ever English translation of Premchand's outstanding play
Karbala (1924) is an illuminating blend of historical facts and
imagination. It reveals Premchand's profound understanding of the
communal conflict in early twentieth-century India and his unique
way of imagining the nation, in tune with Gandhian principles of
communal harmony and co-existence of religions.
