Summary

The story is among the all-time literary classics penned by the legendary Hindi litterateur Munshi Premchand, which succinctly captures the crumbling socio-economic fabric of the Indian state during the last days of the Nawabs of Awadh during the mid-nineteenth century. With the weakening of the central leadership of the Mughals in Delhi, the regional satraps and the nobility characterized by the nawabs and kings became lazy with heavy indulgence in luxury and vices. Civic administration and economic efficiency became a direct casualty, and even the general population became listless. It was in that backdrop that Premchand weaved together a literary masterpiece that rues the decadence of the troubled mass as it lay decrepit morally, economically, and culturally.
