“Pratigya” is a Hindi novel by Munshi Premchand that delves into the plight of widows in early 20th century India. The story revolves around Amritrai, a widower who makes a pledge to marry a widow after being inspired by an Arya Samaj discourse. This decision challenges societal norms and traditions, leading to conflict and ostracism. Premchand masterfully portrays the societal pressures, personal struggles, and the evolving ideas of social reform through this compelling narrative.
