Locals also have no clue about the whereabouts of this legendary writer’s family
He is an immortal writer whose writings live on in millions of hearts across the world.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his radio broadcast ‘Mann Ki Baat’, even mentioned that Munshi Premchand’s stories have touched him deeply.
Referring to “Nasha”, Modi said, “On reading it, I recalled my youth when poverty was widespread. It tells us that we should beware of bad company. ‘Eidgah’ also touched me deeply.”
The bond between the writer and the Prime Minister, ironically, reaches Varanasi as well. Premchand was born in Lamhi, a village in the Prime Minister’s parliamentary constituency here.
However, for one who is known as among the most celebrated writers of the country, Munshi Premchand’s legacy is almost untraceable.
In July, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation disconnected the power supply at Premchand’s ancestral home during his 139th birth anniversary over alleged non-payment of dues.
