Premchand on Culture and Education is a select collection of
Premchand's journalistic articles, essays, and editorials, in
English translation, written in journals like Madhuri, Hans and
Jagran from 1928 to 1936. Indian society then witnessed an extemely
perilous phase with British imperialism, capitalism, and aggressive
nationalism distracting indians from the path of honesty, equality,
and brotherhood. The present collection of Premchand's non-fiction
prose is an amalagamation of his impressions of, and responses to,
the upheavals taking place in the politically and socially charged
decade of the 1930s of the 20th century. Like a torchbearer,
Premchand educated and guided public opinion on a wide range of
issues such as education, culture, communalism, language, arts, and
the Gurukul system of education, famous universities, broadcasting,
and cinema. Nearly all the articles/essays/editorials were written
to combat the topical crisis, but the nature of the articles and
the solutions provided have a bearing even today. Just as
non-fiction is called the genre of the future, this collection of
Premchand's non-fiction prose will be conducive for posterity and
will facilitate fresh avenues of research on Premchand. This book
is co-published with Aakar Books, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis
does not sell or distribute the print versions of this book in
India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
