Literature reflects the state and taste of society, politics, culture etc. Sometimes it shows the reality of these fields and sometimes it provides solutions or gives impetus to idealism , moral awakening and work as tool to rejuvenate the nation. But at the same time when through literature, the society starts being polluted then it really hampers the progress. There were many poets who presented before our society, the images of our system: either their downfall or lacuna in their functioning which led to mass awakening for reform in the system. Poets like  RAMDHARI SINGH DINKAR,PHANISWAR NATH RENU ,NAGARJUN, RAHUL SANKRITYAN, PREMCHAND etc; who presented the reflections and images of system.

 Phaniswar Nath’s first novel Maila Anchal ( THE SOILED LINEN,1954) was a social novel that depicted the life of rural Bihar and its people, especially the backward and the deprived. He was awarded Padma Shri in 1970 . He returned the this honour later in protest of the proclamation of Internal Emergency. PREMCHAND used literature for arousing public awareness related to corruption, Feudal system, poverty, Colonialism etc;  Premchand’s famous novels like GODAN, GABAN, NIRMALA,SHATRANJ KE KHILADI, KAFAN etc inspired the society. Though Shakespeare’s works got so much fame they have no theme to convey society which was exhibited by Premchand, Phaniswar Nath Renu or Dinkar and many other Indian writers in that age or before or after that. Today the theme is missing and today novels.

  There has been massive detoriation in the contemporary literature. For economic benefits or for name and fame many authors have presented very low level literary works which instead of inspiring the society are  maligning and polluting it. No doubt in a democratic country everyone has freedom of speech but it has certain limitations also which should always be taken care of. Our literary works must carry some theme which has a moral footprint in the   society.
