The world of Premchand's female characters..
This is the strong aspect of Premchand literature.
To understand Premchand's creative vision, it is necessary to look deeply at his philosophy of women. Of his approximately 300 stories, a hundred are on women's life, while not more than 50 are on the rural environment. The role of female characters in his novels is also not less. There are strong female characters in every novel. Among his female characters, Suman, Sukhda, Nirmala, Jalpa, Dhaniya, Malti etc. cannot be forgotten.
Premchand's women society is Shatarupa. It contains heart-touching stories of human relationships. In his profuse female characters, glimpses of relationships like girl, young woman, girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, friend, daughter-in-law, widow, sister-in-law, prostitute etc. will be found, in which their independent personality has been lost and women have become the embodiment of exploitation, slavery and submission. Yes, but this is one aspect of his women's philosophy. Nirmala in his literature
('Nirmala' novel)
Live and die the most painful life, but all the female characters are not destitute and slaves of men, rather these women challenge male authority, refuse to accept their husband as God and are active participants in procreation and Swaraj movement. Women will be found.
Premchand depicts the traditional form of woman in his literature. It reveals the poignant nature of her being a woman and her compulsion to live with the problems and tortures of family life and creates a modern sense of self-consciousness in her. It is written about Malti of 'Godaan' that she was a butterfly from outside and a bee from inside. There is a collection of modern woman's values in her butterfly and traditional feminine values in her bee.
To understand their women's issues, it is important to know and understand Dhaniya and Malti.
Is. This modernity in Premchand's women's thinking is not from the Western women's movement, but is the contribution of Arya Samaj. He was a member of Arya Samaj and was associated with its reform movement. Along with this, they consider protection of sexual purity and chastity of women as paramount. Premchand creates high level human ideals (sexual purity and chastity along with service-sacrifice, motherly love, sacrifice, motherhood, creation of family, active for national goals) and consciousness of self-realization in the female characters. These women have the ability to take a man to divinity ('mystery' story). In 'Godaan', Mehta says, 'Woman is as superior to man as light is to darkness. Forgiveness, sacrifice and non-violence are the highest ideals of life for humans. Woman has achieved this ideal.
Premchand does not want to break the family. Although his story 'Bade Ghar Ki Beti' is famous, he also gives it a modern form. They talk about the use of artificial methods for family planning and limiting the family to two children and its rights, monogamy, man's right over property, divorce and woman's right to half the property.
In his writings, Premchand brings the Indian woman equal to the man and writes that the man should give up the madness of ruling over the woman, otherwise they will remain in their own rights. They should have equal rights and the decision should be left to them only.
In this way Premchand establishes the condition and direction of Indian women and becomes the father of women's discussion. Her women's thinking becomes the foundation of independent India and women get many rights.

NEW article 🇪🇸 🇮🇳
How are Hindi and Spanish similar?
'The Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain) in 711 AD, led to heavy Arab influence in this part of Europe; indeed, the Caliphate at that time had named the newly-established Muslim state of Spain as Andalus (or Andalusia) in Arabic. [...]'

The thing that bothers me the most are language comparison videos, especially the comments, because every time it’s Hindi, all the comments are saying it’s an “Urdu word." Like synonyms don’t exist in every language. Hindi and all Indo-Aryan languages are full of Persian and Arabic loanwords, and native Hindi and Urdu speakers don’t speak in pure Hindi and Urdu colloquially.
Hindi and Urdu are the same languages according to linguistics. They’re both registers of Hindustani.
Modern standard Hindi only emerged in the 18th century to create a Hindu lingua-franca, where they intentionally replaced Persian words with Sanskrit ones under the patronage of Fort William College and John Gilchrist, but Urdu was commonly used by Hindus at the time.
The split of Hindustani deepened the religious divide, associating Urdu with Muslims and Hindi with Hindus. The British exploited it for their divide and rule policy. Following the partition, the drive for separate national identities intensified the split between Hindi and Urdu. Books with religious or professional jargon show increased divergence between Hindi and Urdu.

Nadira, otherwise known as Farhat Ezekiel, a Jewish Bollywood star in the 1950s and 60s who often played 'temptress' roles.
"At a time when custom and tradition kept many Indian women from performing in movies, liberated Jewish actresses and Jewish scriptwriters pioneered the building of the now world-renowned Bollywood brand." - American Sephardi Federation
Nadira was born on 5 December 1932 in Baghdad, Iraq, into a Baghdadi Jewish family. When she was an infant, her family migrated from Baghdad to Bombay in search of business opportunities.

इश्क़-ए-हिंदुस्तान
जोधा, जो बनी मलिका-ए-हिंदुस्तान,
और जलाल, शहंशाह-ए-हिंदुस्तान का अरमान।
एक थी राज��ूती शान, दूजा था जंग का तूफ़ान,
मगर मोहब्बत ने लिख दिया दोनों का फरमान।
जलाल, जो था जंगों का बेमिसाल सिकंदर,
जोधा के इश्क़ से बना अदल का पैग़ंबर।
खून की नदी में जो खेता था अपने जहान,
उसके दिल में मोहब्बत ने जलाए दिए अरमान।
अज़ान की सदा और मंदिर की घंटियां,
बनीं गवाही उनके दिल की बेतहाशा उल्फ़तियां।
धर्म का झगड़ा जो मिटा, बना हिंदुस्तान का पैग़ाम,
मोहब्बत से रचा इत्तेहाद का नया आयाम।
शम्स की तरह अकबर का नूर चमका,
माहताब सी जोधा का हुस्न महका।
मज़हब की दीवारें भी हिलने लगीं,
इश्क़ की खुशबू से फ़िज़ाएं महकने लगीं।
जोधा की मासूमियत ने बदल दिया जलाल,
शहंशाह बना, पर दिल का अकबर रहा ख़ालिस और नायाब।
इश्क़-ए-जोधा-अकबर, हिंदुस्तान की पहचान,
जहां अदल और मोहब्बत का लिखा गया नया संविधान।

I've chosen my topic for my summative project for world history which is "evaluation of the usage of the Yiddish language during the 19th century" and to for ambiance reasons I've started branching out my Yiddish music taste to songs other than the Barry Sisters' rendition of Tumbalalaika.
For this reason, I've been listening to Chava Alberstein's rendition of Dona Dona/דאַנאַ דאַנאַ and in the chorus there is the lyrics "lakht un lakht un lakht/לאַכט און לאַכט און לאַכט" and in between a few of the consonants she sings a /ə/ (better to look it up yourself how it's pronounced but it's sort of like "uhhh") so the lyric sounds more like "lakht unəlakht unəlakht."
I found that super interesting because a lot of Punjabi and Urdu/Hindi songs do the same thing!
An example of this in the song "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" from the movie soundtrack "Pathaan," the chorus is as follows:
Jhoome jo pathaan meri jaan/झूमे जो पठान मेरी जान Mehfil hi loot jaaye/महफ़िल हाय लुट जाए Dede jo zubaan meri jaan/देदे जो ज़ुबान मेरी जान Uspe mar mit jaaye/उसपे मर मिट जाए
It is pronounced more like: "Jhoome jo pathaanəmeri jaanə/mehəfil hii lootəjaaye/dede jo zubaanəmeri jaanə/uspe mar mitəjaaye"
Also interesting since not all consonants in each language get spacing between them, and in both examples above, they're not the same ones! In Dona Dona, the "kh/כ" sound from "lakht/לאַכט" doesn't have a space after it, though the "h/ह(/ح)" from "mehfil/महफ़िल(/محفل)" does!
Just interesting stuff I wanted to share :)
Songs I talked about in this post:
