Godaan (गोदान) at Hindi Wikisource
Godaan (Hindi: गोदान, gōdān, lit. 'Cow donation') is a famous Hindi novel by Munshi Premchand. It was first published in 1936 and is considered one of the greatest Hindi novels of modern Indian literature. Themed around the socio-economic deprivation as well as the exploitation of the village poor, the novel was the last complete novel of Premchand. It follows the story of an old poor farmer, stuck in a debt trap, who wants to purchase a cow, but is unable to do so because of lack of finances. It has been translated into English in 1957 by Jai Ratan and Purushottama Lal as The Gift of a Cow.[1] A 1968 translation by Gordon C. Roadarmel is now considered "a classic in itself".[2]
Godaan was made into a Hindi film in 1963, starring Raaj Kumar, Kamini Kaushal, Mehmood and Shashikala.[3] In 2004, Godaan was part of the 27-episode TV series, Tehreer.... Munshi Premchand Ki,[4] [The Writings of Munshi Premchand] based on the writing of Premchand, starring Pankaj Kapur and Surekha Sikri, directed by Gulzar and produced by Doordarshan.[5]
