Amrit Rai (c. 1921 - September 1996) was a noted Urdu Hindi writer and biographer. He was the son of Munshi Premchand, a pioneer of modern Urdu literature and Hindi literature. A prolific writer, Rai made his literary debut with novel ''Beej'' in 1952, (1952), and went on to write an acclaimed biography of his father, Premchand, ''Kalam ka Sipahi'' (1970), which later won him the Sahitya Akademi award for 1971.〔 He also co-edited ''Chitthi Patri'' (1962), a two-volume book on the letters of Premchand along with his biographer, Madan Gopal. In 1982, he donated a collection of his father's 236 letters to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) at Teen Murti House, Delhi. His ''A House Divided'' is an influential account of how the shared Hindi/Hindavī (हिन्दवी, ہندوی) linguistic tradition became differentiated into Modern Standard Hindi and Urdu. Rai died in Allahabad, in September 1996 at the age of 75, after suffering a paralytic stroke in March 1996. ==Bibliography== * Rai, Amrit. ''Premchand: A Life''. Harish Trivedi, translator.
