Naatak Radio is back with an all new Season 4!
Our parent theater company, Naatak, is staging its 118th production: Munshi Premchand's TALES OF RESISTANCE. Apr 3 - 26, 2026 at the Starbright Theater in Campbell.
To celebrate this, we'll present a few of Premchand's classic stories in the next few episodes. In this episode, presenting, SAVA SER GEHUN. This story recounts the tragic downfall of Shankar, a virtuous and simple farmer who falls into a terminal trap of debt slavery. After borrowing a small amount of wheat to feed a visiting monk, he fails to formally repay a local priest, leading to an exponentially inflated debt years later. Despite Shankar's extreme sacrifices and frugality, the predatory interest rates turn a minor favor into an inescapable financial burden. The narrative illustrates how systemic exploitation and religious guilt force the protagonist into lifelong bonded labor. How does this cycle end? Listen to Munshi Premchand's sharp social commentary, especially at the end of the episode. DO NOT MISS THE ENDING!
If you like the episode do tune into the next episode where we discuss the finer details of this story.
