Pretty average or slightly above average
I can see why Hindi speaking population might like this because this seems to be the first thing that happened in that language that had a decent literary substance, but there are better novels in other languages. It can be of the level of any other Kannada speaking professor's aspirational literary work, pretty average.

Godan presents great insight into human nature
This is my second book by Munshi Premchand, and second book in Hindi literature I have ever read. My Hindi is not strong, and his Hindi is not very academic, it is quite difficult. The print is also not great. Still, I am unable to put the book down. It shows the lives and thinking of the very poor peasants and the very rich landlords. I would encourage people to read it even if their reading of Hindi language is not strong.
