Kishori Lal Goswami (1865–1932) was an Indian writer and novelist.[1] [2] He was born in the year 1865 in a family of Vrindavan. His family was a follower of the Nimbarka Sampradaya. In 1898, Kishori Lal Goswami brought out the magazine 'Novyas' in which his novels were published. He was a member of Saraswati (magazine)'s Panchayati Editorial Board. In addition to about 65 novels, he wrote many poems and his own masterly writings on various subjects. Goswami, the author of the stories Indumati and Gulbahar, has the credit of being the first story writer in Hindi language.[3]
In 1898, Kishorilal Goswami launched a monthly journal Upanya, in which as many as sixty-five novels of Goswami were published.[4] Some of his notable works includes Razia Begum, Triveni, Pranayini Parinay, Lavanglata, Aadarsh Bala, Rang Mahal Mein Halahal, Malti Madhav, Madan Mohini and Gulbahar.[5]
In 1900, a short story named Indumati by Kishorilal Goswami was published in the newly launched Hindi magazine Saraswati. Considering it to be original work, some scholars have described it as the first short story in Hindi.[6]
