Prem Chand

Two trends seem to be dominant in Prem Chand criticism. On one hand are the writers of dissertations, out to prove their theses; on the other are the progressive critics in the grip of the ruling orthodoxy of the last sixty years. Prof. Sharma with his keen interest in the history of ideas, unravels the different strands in Prem Chand's thought. He demonstrates that while Prem Chand was deeply concerned with social and political problems, equally deep was his concern with moral and spiritual issues. With his wide acquaintance with the western critical tradition, Pro. Sharma traces the evolution of Prem Chand's art, basing his discussion on a close analysis of the novels and short stories.

The Portuguese, the Dutch, the English and the Danes came to India primarily for trade and commerce. Though the French initially showed some interest in oriental trade and tried to challenge the Portuguese claims based on Papal bulls, they could not continue to insist on their rights on account of their involvement in Problems at home. Moreover, they found better avenues fore trade in the Western hemisphere, that is, Canada. Indo-French contacts began to be established initially through overseas trade in the second half of the seventeenth century with imports of precious metals into India by the French East India Company and through exports of spices and textiles from India to France. In due course, these relations began to be diversified and came to cover local politics, society, defence, diplomacy and culture. The present work highlights some of the aspects of these interactions.
