Since childhood, Munshi Premchand’s stories have been a staple in my Hindi literature readings. My house boasts a large library filled with his works like Nirmala, Gaban, Godan, and countless other novels. Even Do Bailon Ki Katha was part of my school syllabus. Premchand’s writing was so simple and captivating that even a comic book enthusiast like me fell in love with his literature. Now, Pratilipi Comics has adapted Munshi Ji’s stories into comic form, available for purchase on Amazon and other booksellers. Hindi literature is now accessible as comics, bringing these classic tales to a wider audience.

This comic includes two stories by Munshi Premchand, “Eidgah aur Namak ka Daroga,” published in English as a graphic novel paperback format, priced at 269/- rupees.

EIDGAH

Four-year-old Hamid says goodbye to his grandmother and sets out with his friends to have fun at the village fair, on Eid. But he finds himself faced with a moral dilemma there. A powerful and moving story of sacrifice and love.

THE SALT INSPECTOR (Namak Ka Daroga)

Vanshidhar, a young man of unwavering integrity, resists every temptation as he combats the illegal salt trade in British India. A memorable story for all ages.
