Kayakalp (Hindi)- Prem Chand

The novel Kayakalp by Munshi Premchand has been written keeping in mind, social, political, communal and family problems in an Indian setting. Along with the social anomalies, not only have the Hindu-Muslim communal riots been depicted in it, the example of communal harmony has also been set through the friendship of Yashodanandan, a Hindu, and Khwaja Mehmood, a Muslim. The idealism of Kayakalp soon begins to transform into realism and eventually experimentalism. This is a very interesting and experimental novel.
