12 Classics Of Hindi Literature That’ll Open Your Mind To A Whole New World Of Storytelling

Hindi literature is a reservoir of beautiful stories that we have possibly ignored forever. 

However, it is high time you add a few amazing pieces of writing to your reading list – and these classics are perfect to start your journey into the world of Hindi literature: 

1. Nirmala by Premchand

It is hard to pick a single novel by Premchand because all his stories bring to the forefront harsh realities of life, written with a trademark ironical twist. However, it is Nirmala – that describes the story of a child bride and her husband, who is very senior to her – that stands apart as one of his finest works. His nuanced character descriptions and descriptive writing make for a thought-provoking read indeed. 

2. Madhushala by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Madhushala is easily one of the most popular works of Hindi literature, and rightfully so. Full of beautiful metaphors, this book of 135 quatrains is renowned for its contribution to Neo-romanticism. Though on the face of it the poem talks about alcohol, it actually is a reflection of life and its complexities. There is also a version recited by his son, actor Amitabh Bachchan.

3. Yama by Mahadevi Verma

Considered as a ‘ modern-day Meera ‘, Mahadevi Verma was one of the four founding writers of the Neo-romantic age of Hindi literature. Her work revolved around powerful animal imagery and  Yama is a collection of some of her finest poetry. It is also the book that won her the Gyanpeeth Award.

4. Tamas by Bhisham Sahni

The novel that won Bhisham Sahni the 1975 Sahitya Akademi award is a vividly descriptive novel, that evokes a multitude of emotions with every phrase! Set against the backdrop of partition, Tamas – that means darkness – is the story of a small town caught in volatile riots.  

5.  Kamayani by Jaishankar Prasad

Jaishankar Prasad’s works are renowned for his use of words derived from Sanskrit, but never from Urdu. Kamayani , an epic poem that describes the creation of the first man on earth, is complex but worth the effort, especially because of the graphic descriptions and the philosophical undertones.

6. Kashi Ka Assi by Kashi Nath Singh

Set in one of the holiest cities in India – Varanasi – this novel is everything but pious. It is a realistic story of a city where conversations occur over ghats and not cafes, where the characters are more candid than cautious, and where the changes in the society are subtle but not ignorant. The novel, on which the movie Mohalla Assi is based, is a must-read for lovers of humor, and culture. 

7. Maila Aanchal by Phanishwar Nath Renu

Considered to be one of the finest examples of a regional novel, Maila Aanchal  expertly reflects the uniqueness of the region it is set in- a village in Bihar. The setting plays as much a role in developing the story as do the characters – because the behavioral traits, superstitions etc. are firmly rooted in the region the characters reside in.

8. Chandrakanta Santati by Babu Devakinandan Khatri

For lovers of fiction and fantasy, this novel is a real treat. Like any fan of fantastical fiction would know, it is the details that can make or break a mystical novel – and it is exactly such details that Babu Devakinandan Khatri gets right on point with  Chandrakanta Santati.  It can be read as a stand-alone novel, though it also a part of a trilogy. 

9. Rashmirathi by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar

One of the most popular Hindi writers, Dinkar wrote a lot on the famous mythological epic Mahabharata .  Rashmirathi , that translates to the rider of sun’s chariot, is thus a poem on Karna. The poem offers a different perspective of the saga, highlighting the injustices that Karna suffered. 

10. Kitne Pakistan by Kamleshwar

This novel was also inspired by the harsh reality of partition, and a court setting forms the premise of the story. Different historical characters act as witnesses and describe their experience of the partition. An evocative novel, the story is written brilliantly and manages to bring alive the pain of partition in a heartwrenching manner. This novel won Kamleshwar the 2003 Sahitya Academy Award. 

11. Gunahon Ka Devta by Dharamveer Bharti

One of the most popular love stories of Hindi literature, this poignant tale is written in a manner that the reader can’t help but feel every emotion that the lead characters experience. Chander and Sudha’s unfulfilled love story is as raw as it is emotional. This is a must-read for lovers of romance and literature both. 

12. Apsara by Suryakant Tripathi Nirala

Suryakant Tripathi Nirala – whose poems have always been featured in school curriculum – is one of the earliest writers to use themes of social injustice, feminism etc. in his writings and his novel Apsara is a prime example of that. It deals with feminity and its extremes, and the way youth deals with social injustice. The novel is still as relevant as it was at the time it was first published. 

Time to get your reading glasses on and appreciate the beauty of the language.

List of 7 Best Hindi Books to Read

Godan by munshi premchand, 41 anmol kahaniya by munshi premchand, gunaho ka devta by dharamveer bharti, kafan by munshi premchand.

Godan is one of the most cherished pieces of work in Hindi literature. It is based on the exploitation of Indian farmers at the hands of money lenders and landlords. The book revolves around the life of a poor peasant – Hori, who is a victim of circumstances. All he desires is to have a cow, just like other peasants; but every time he collects money, events take a turn and Hori is bound to use that money to undo the whole situation. It is a story about his honesty towards his family, duties, and a dream left unfulfilled.

This book deals with power and suffering as its central themes. How the money lenders make peasantry suffer is depicted in detail.

Formats Available:

Madhushala by Harivansh Rai Bachchan is a collection of 135 four-liner verses or quatrains. It is a metaphorical poem that compares a tavern to freedom. The poem is majorly based on imagery that uses four primary objects to focus on different aspects of life. For every reader, the poem lays out a different meaning. The book describes every experience of life that weighs down upon the human being and how one must shield themselves from such external forces.

This book by Ashwini Parashar compiles all the ideas and advice from Chanakya – the best known Indian theorist and a noble advisor to the Mauryan empire. Chankaya Neeti focuses on how one can escape the evils of life and be happy and content. It also focuses on detailed theories and discoveries based on how he saw people leading their lives in ancient times. It throws some light on ideologies developed in ancient times that hold relevance in the daily life of an individual even today.

A classical true love story with a fine touch of Indian-ness, Mrinalini is the third novel by Bengali novelist Bankimchandra Chatterjee.

This book by Dharamveer Bharti is about an effervescent love story of the upper middle class. Chander is an orphan and young researcher who is mentored by Dr Shukla. He is very close to Dr Shukla’s daughter Sudha and shares a deep bond with her. While both are clearly in love with each other, none of them initiates this conversation. Besides, Chander is from a lower caste than Sudha, and he must not dare to ask Sudha’s hand in marriage. This book highlights the divisional aspect of society that expects people to follow their birth society’s values and judges them for making choices.

Kafan by Munshi Premchand revolves around a family of lower-class villagers in India. The father and son are poor labourers who face a difficult situation in life. The son’s wife dies while giving birth to their child and the poor labourers have no money to cremate the body. To buy a kafan or shroud to cover up the dead body, they ask for money from the village zamindar and other members of the high society. Kafan brings to light the struggles of poverty and problems faced by poor people and is truly one of the best hindi books ever written.
