description: Premchand is one of the most outstanding figures in twentieth-century Hindi literature. The inhumanity of caste hierarchies and the plight of women stirred his indignation and remained constant themes throughout his works. Of his many novels, Rangbhumi depicts most graphically the devastation of peasant society and agriculture under colonial rule.
