The Village Council

A short story about the importance of doing your duty even at great personal cost.

Algu and Jumman’s friendship is tested when a dispute involving Jumman and his elderly aunt is brought before the village council with Algu at its head.

Now Algu must choose: duty or friendship?

Will he side with his friend and business partner? Or will he perform his duty and uphold the cause of justice?

A short story about the importance of doing your duty even at great personal cost.

An English language translation of Panch Parmeshwar by Munshi Premchand, the celebrated author of Indian classics such as Gaban, Godaan, and Nirmala.
