Mangalsutra (Hindi)

Set in rural India, the narrative revolves around the lives of Rani and Shripati. Rani’s profound sacrifice for her husband, Shripati, who is drawn to urban life, forms the heart of the story. Premchand masterfully exposes the clash between tradition and modernity, as well as the challenges faced by women in a changing society. With intricate character development and societal commentary, the story resonates with themes of love, duty, and cultural evolution. Mangalsutra stands as a testament to Premchand’s ability to illuminate the human experience through his narratives.
