Karbala by Premchand [Paperback]

"Karbala" is a historical-religious play written in 1924.
Amidst the intensifying Indian independence movement, Munshi Premchand was deeply concerned about the growing discord between Hindus and Muslims in Indian society.
To promote religious harmony, he wrote the play Karbala.

The core sentiment of this play and the historical event it portrays is to highlight that the values of sacrifice, devotion, and martyrdom also exist in Islam.
The play presents a vivid and stirring account of the martyrdom of Husayn, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad and a revered figure in Islam.

This poignant drama depicts how the Muslim rulers of that time subjected Husayn—who was a champion of humanity and a protector of the weak and helpless—to inhumane torture and ultimately killed him.
