The story "The Road to Salvation" by Premchand revolves around Jhingur, the farmer and Buddhu, the shepherd who were very full of pride and that pride got ruined. Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava, who wrote under the pen name "Premchand", was born into the Hindu Kayastha caste. The caste system in India is a system of social classification. Throughout history, it has 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 there is no way to change it throughout 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 each other, causing them to get trapped in envy. “The Road to Salvation” revolves around a farmer named Jhingur and a shepherd named Buddhu. The road to entrapment begins when Jhingur cruelly beats the sheep owned by Buddhu for breaking into his sugarcane field after he insisted on not letting those sheep pass through his field. For this reason, Buddhu told Jhingur that "you will regret it" (Premchand 1302). Jhingur's family and friends urged him to make peace with Buddhu but found his camp in flames. 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 can say a word without proof. Buddhu made Jhingur lose his reputation and for this Jhingur sought revenge. Or... middle of paper... Buddhu reduced his enemy to poverty and unleashed a cycle of events that would end in his own destruction. In the end there was no justice either with the burning of the sugar cane field or with the killing of the calf. Instead, we see two workers trapped in bitterness who fail to recognize 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 is about two workers who ruin each other financially and morally. Premchand not only talks about the unrest among members of the same caste, but also says that as long as people continue to ruin each other, 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 led to their destruction.
