Premchand's Karmabhoomi explores the struggle between the characters' sense of duty and their ambitions and how this causes a wedge between their various personal relationships. It is set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century when the British were exploiting the poor and the country was also fighting against its own social issues namely classism, casteism, and untouchability. What happens when all these struggles reach a national level?
