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.

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.
