Explanation:

The writings of Devaki Nandan Khatri created a novel-reading public in Hindi. His best-seller,  Chandrakanta – a romance with dazzling elements of fantasy – is believed to have contributed  immensely in popularising the Hindi language and the Nagari script among the educated classes of  those times. Although it was apparently written purely for the ‘pleasure of reading’, this novel also gives  some interesting insights into the fears and desires of its reading public.
