Watch the film version of #Premchands #Godan (Gift of a Cow) on ZClassics @ 7pm tonite. Premchand was to Indian literature what Charles Dickens was to English literature: the voice of social conscience. His novels brought attention to the social injustices. This novel is a about a villager just dreaming about owning a cow to help with his fields. But gets caught up in the high-interest loans he takes out for the cow (that is killed later) and for other things, like the fine imposed on him by the village judiciary for giving shelter to a low-caste girl. I think the loan trap is a big issue for the poor, but also middle class people even in developed countries.
