The history of the world has witnessed that in the making and development of all the eminent personalities, their mothers have played a leading role. The mother is the earliest companion and mentor of her child and her lap is the child's initial school. It was his mother who turned Munshi Premchand into the litterateur par excellence. The instinctive characters, obvious incidents, idealistic realities and the Indian life style which have been lively depicted in his novels and stories is primarily the benefaction of his mother, who used to keep the audience captivated and engrossed in her long stories. Her excellent way of reciting tales gave a lot to Premchand. She was able to read everything but couldn't write. Her tales and stories were lively and related to the public life. Premchand's mother was the cause behind his being a supreme author.
