The story 'Premchand's Path to Salvation' revolves around Jhingur, the farmer and Buddhu, the shepherd who were very full of pride and ruined themselves. Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava, who wrote under the pseudonym "Premchand", was born into the Kayastha Hindu caste. The caste system in India is a system of social classification. In history, it divided communities into hundreds of traditional groups. The Kayastha class is just below the highest class, Brahmana. In the Indian caste system, you are born into your caste and you cannot change your caste in any way during your life. It is believed that if you live a good life, you can be reincarnated into a higher caste. The main religion in India is Hinduism. Hinduism promotes harmony and love for all, but Jhingur and Buddhu are trapped in the law of Karma. Although the story revolves around Jhingur and Buddhu and the pride they have in themselves, it causes them to constantly manipulate themselves, which makes them constantly trapped in envy. “The Road to Salvation” revolves around a farmer named Jhingur and a shepherd named Buddhu. The path to entrapment begins when Jhingur cruelly beat the sheep belonging to Buddhu because they broke into his sugarcane field after he insisted on not letting these sheep pass near his field. For this reason, Buddhu told Jhingur: “You will regret this” (Premchand 1302). Jhingur's family and friends urged him to make peace with Buddhu but found his field on fire. The villagers helped put out the fire, but it was too late and the crops were already destroyed. Many villagers, especially Jinghur, knew that Buddhu had done it, but no one could say a word without proof. Buddhu made Jhingur lose his reputation and because of this, Jhingur sought revenge. O...... middle of paper ...... Buddhu reduced his enemy to poverty and set in motion a cycle of events that would end in his own destruction. In the end, justice was not forthcoming, neither with the burning of the sugar cane field, nor with the killing of the calf. Instead, we see two workers trapped in bitterness, unable to understand how they must work together to truly succeed. Premchand highlights some of the problems in India's social structure in 'The Road to Salvation'. The story tells of two workers who ruin themselves financially and morally. Premchand not only talks about the unrest between members of the same caste, he also says that as long as people continue to ruin themselves, nothing good can come of it. Jhingur and Buddhu's materialistic desires have blinded them and they may never see the true value of life. They are trapped in a cycle of revenge that has brought about their own destruction..
