Kafan is Munshi Premchand's last short story and unarguably one of his best. The story is a satire on the degradation of human beings and talks about a father and son duo who need money to cremate the son's wife after her premature death during childbirth. Summary Of The Book Kafan is a story about a low-caste father and his son who work as labourers in a village in Orissa. The son's wife, Bhudiya, is near the end of her pregnancy and is in need of medical attention, which the family certainly cannot afford. The poor lady writhes in pain as Ghisu and his son Madhav watch helplessly. Bhudiya eventually dies during childbirth, adding to the problems of the father and son. Driven to extreme poverty and despair, they have no money or means to perform the funeral rites for the unfortunate women. They cannot ignore the dead body lying in their hut, and set out to ask the villagers for some monetary assistance. The question is will the villagers reach out to help the unfortunate low-caste family? Kafan which translates to a shroud in English, describes the degradation of human beings to the lowest level possible. It not only talks about privation of the lower caste in the society but also delves into the depravity of the human soul across all castes, creeds .
