At a time when Indian women were being held up as standard-bearers of a nation in chains, Premchand depicts the hypocrisy of the so-called pillars of society, who can sacrifice their orthodox principles behind closed doors, yet do not shirk from mouthing moral platitudes in public. He portrays the reality of the Hindu-Muslim divide, but also conceives of an ideal community that gives a New direction to the life of a fallen woman and allows her to lead a meaningful existence. A hugely popular novel, Sevasadan went through several editions after its first publication in 1918. It was made into a film in 1938 with M.S. Subbulakshmi in the lead role. This volume includes a critical introduction by Professor Vasudha Dalmia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":44273435869441,"sku":"2SNTDHAM9-Used","price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/products\/SEVASADAN.jpg?v=1666698193","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/sevasadan","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
