About IGNOU BHDC-110 हिंदी कहानी
BHDC-110 is a core course in the IGNOU B.A. Honours Hindi (BAHDH) programme that traces the journey of the Hindi short story from its early form to contemporary writers. The syllabus covers three eras of kahani lekhan. The early phase brings Sudarshan's "Haar ki Jeet" with its renunciation theme, and Premchand's classic "Poos ki Raat" depicting peasant life.
The middle phase covers Jainendra's psychological inquiry, Yashpal's "Pardah", Bhishma Sahni, Ageya, Mohan Rakesh's "Miss Pal", and Nirmal Verma's "Parinde". The later phase brings Phanishwarnath Renu's "Teesri Kasam" (Hiraman and Hirabai), Krishna Sobti's portrayal of women, and dalit kahani writers like Omprakash Valmiki with "Shadyantra" and Mohandas Naimishrai's "Apna Gaon" tradition. Each story brings a different sensibility. Most students find the dalit kahani and Mohan Rakesh urban stories the highest-scoring once their core sanvedna is identified.

नोट: प्रथम प्रश्न अनिवार्य है। शेष में से किन्हीं चार प्रश्नों के उत्तर दीजिए।
निम्नलिखित गद्यांशों में से किन्हीं तीन की सप्रसंग व्याख्या कीजिए: 3×12=36
- (क) घोड़े ने अपने स्वामी के पाँवों की चाप को पहचान लिया और जोर से हिनहिनाया। अब बाबा भारती आश्चर्य और प्रसन्नता से दौड़ते हुए अंदर घुसे और अपने प्यारे घोड़े के गले से लिपटकर रोने लगे मानो कोई पिता बहुत दिन से बिछड़े हुए पुत्र से मिल रहा हो। बार-बार उसके मुँह पर थपकियाँ देते। फिर वे संतोष से बोले, "अब कोई दीन-दुखियों से मुँह न मोड़ेगा।"
- (ख) "जब मैं अपने हृदय पर विश्वास नहीं कर सकी उसी ने धोखा दिया, तब मैं कैसे कहूँ। मैं तुम्हें घृणा करती हूँ, फिर भी तुम्हारे लिए मर सकती हूँ। अँधेर है जलदस्यु। तुम्हे प्यार करती हूँ।"
- (ग) "ह्यूबर्ट ही क्यों, वह क्या किसी को चाह सकेगी, उस अनुभूति के संग, जो ऊब नहीं रही, जो छाया-सी उसी पर मंडराती रहती है, न स्वयं मिटती है, न उसे मुक्ति दे पाती है। उसे लगा, जैसे बादलों का झुरमुट फिर उसके मस्तिष्क पर धीरे-धीरे छाने लगा है, उसकी टाँगें फिर निर्जीव, शिथिल-सी हो गयी हैं।"
- (घ) प्यार ने जोर मारा, एक बार घूम-फिर कर पूरा घर क्यों न देख आयी मैं? जी छोटा हो रहा है, पर जिनके सामने हमेशा बड़ी बनी रही है उनके सामने वह छोटी न होगी, इतना ही ठीक है। बस हो चुका। सिर झुकाया ड्योढ़ी के आगे कुलवधू की आँखों से निकलकर कुछ बूँदें चू पड़ीं। शाहनी चल दी, ऊँचा-सा भवन पीछे खड़ा रह गया।
- (ङ) सिद्धेश्वरी भय तथा आतंक से अपने बेटे को एकटक निहार रही थी। कुछ क्षण बीतने के बाद डरते-डरते उसने पूछा, 'वहाँ कुछ हुआ क्या?' सिद्धेश्वरी चुप रही। धूप और तेज होती जा रही थी। छोटे आँगन के ऊपर आसमान में बादल में एक-दो टुकड़े पाल की नावों की तरह तैर रहे थे। बाहर की गली से गुजरते हुए एक खड़खड़िया इक्के की आवाज आ रही थी और खटोले पर सोए बालक की साँस का खर्र-खर्र शब्द सुनाई दे रहा था।

Topics tested
Gadyansh vyakhya (3 mein se), Pita kahani ki samvedna, Shadyantra mein dalit jeevan, Parinde ka pratipadya, Miss Pal mein mahanagariy jeevan, Hiraman aur Hirabai ka charitra, Baba Bharti ka samajikaran, Poos ki Raat ka vishleshan.
Syllabus Topics Covered
The solutions in this PDF map directly across the BHDC-110 syllabus. Q1 vyakhya pulls passages from across the prescribed kahaniyan. The five excerpts in December 2025 came from Sudarshan's "Haar ki Jeet" (Baba Bharti and his horse), Yashpal's "Pardah" (the moral conflict scene), Nirmal Verma's "Parinde" (Latika's interior alienation), an unspecified woman-centric story, and Bhishma Sahni's "Cheef ki Daawat" or similar (Siddheshwari's anxious watch).
Q2 to Q8 are story-specific. Q2 covers "Pita" by Jnanranjan with its core sanvedna of generational conflict. Q3 deals with dalit kahani through "Shadyantra". Q4 covers "Parinde", a foundational nayi kahani text. Q5 covers "Miss Pal" and urban mechanisation. Q6 covers Hiraman-Hirabai from Renu's "Teesri Kasam". Q7 covers Baba Bharti's transformation. Q8 covers Premchand's "Poos ki Raat" and Halku-Munni-peasant realism. If you've prepared the protagonists, central themes, and one quoted scene from each story, you've covered nearly the entire mark pool.
Sample Answer Preview: Hindi Kahani Explanation
Take Q1's first gadyansh, the Sudarshan passage from "Haar ki Jeet" beginning "ghode ne apne swami ke paavon ki chaap ko pehchan liya". This is a 12-mark vyakhya, and it follows the strict three-part structure that IGNOU evaluators look for in every Hindi sahitya paper at honours level.
Here's how those 12 marks actually break down:
Sandarbh (2 marks): Open by naming the kahanikaar (Sudarshan), the kahani ("Haar ki Jeet"), the patra (Baba Bharti), and the era. Place this in the early Premchand-yug short story tradition, where moral and didactic concerns dominated. The story is built around Baba Bharti's beloved horse Sultan and the bandit Khadak Singh.
Prasang (2 marks): Place the verse within the immediate narrative situation. Khadak Singh has stolen Sultan from Baba Bharti by faking illness. Days later, hearing that Baba Bharti now refuses help to ailing strangers because of the trick played on him, Khadak Singh's conscience breaks. He returns the horse silently in the night. This passage captures the moment Baba Bharti discovers his beloved animal has come home.
Vyakhya line by line (6 marks): This is the scoring core. "Ghode ne apne swami ke paavon ki chaap ko pehchan liya" carries the bond of recognition between owner and animal. The hinhinaaht (whinnying) is the horse's emotional outpouring. "Aashcharya aur prasannta se daudte hue andar ghuse" captures Baba Bharti's disbelief. The image of "kisi pita ko bahut din se bichde hue putra se mil raha ho" elevates the human-animal relationship to a parental bond. The closing line "ab koi deen-dukhiyon se munh na modega" is the moral resolution: Baba Bharti restores his charitable practice because Khadak Singh's transformation has restored his faith in human goodness.
Shilp aur bhasha (1 mark): Note Sudarshan's clear Khari Boli, the use of upama (kisi pita ki tarah), the visual narrative style, and the implicit sandesh-pradhan structure of the early Hindi kahani.
Sahityik mahatva (1 mark): Close with the broader value. This passage represents the moral-didactic phase of Hindi kahani, where character transformation and ethical resolution drive the plot. It also celebrates the human-animal bond and the redemptive power of guilt.
The full solution in your PDF follows this exact structure for all five given excerpts, with sandarbh, prasang, line-by-line vyakhya, shilp, and mahatva clearly separated.
How to Write High-Scoring Answers
Time first. 100 marks in 180 minutes works out to roughly 36 minutes per question on average. But Q1 alone carries 36 marks. Give it 60 minutes. Distribute the remaining 120 minutes across four 16-mark questions, 30 minutes each.
For vyakhya, never skip the sandarbh-prasang split. Even if you're sure about the kahanikaar, name the kahani, the patra speaking, and the era. That structure alone earns 4 marks before you've explained a single line.
For long-answer essays, follow the bhumika-mukhya bindu-udaharan-nishkarsh shape. Open with a definitional bhumika that names the story, the kahanikaar, and one core theme (2 marks). Develop 4 to 5 mukhya bindu (10 marks). Quote a specific scene or dialogue as udaharan in each major point. Close with a one-paragraph nishkarsh (2 marks).
For character questions like Q6 on Hiraman and Hirabai, structure your answer around three traits per character, each tied to a specific scene from the bullock-cart journey.
For thematic statements like Q3 on Shadyantra or Q8 on Poos ki Raat, treat the cited statement as a thesis to defend, not just describe.
Who Should Use This Solved Question Paper
This is built for the BAHDH student whose Term-End Exam falls in 2026 or beyond. June 2026 candidate, December 2026 candidate, or back-paper attempt, the December 2025 release is your sharpest practice resource for this paper.
Two student profiles benefit most. The working professional doing IGNOU alongside a teaching, journalism, or government job, with maybe 30 to 60 minutes a day for revision. And the first-time honours student who hasn't yet figured out what an IGNOU evaluator means by sandarbh-sahit vyakhya for prose passages.
Hindi-medium aspirants preparing for UGC NET, state PSCs, or teaching eligibility tests will find the structured story analyses especially useful for the kahani section of those exams.
Why This is Better Than Free PDFs and Telegram Files
Free Hindi PDFs look attractive until you actually open one. Most are old papers, with gadyansh poorly typed in unreadable Devanagari fonts. Vyakhya answers skip the sandarbh-prasang structure and go straight to general explanation. Half the time the kahanikaar is misidentified, especially when stories share thematic territory like dalit-jeevan or peasant realism.
The actual cost isn't money. It's writing the wrong author's name in your real exam because you trusted a careless file. We've seen students attribute "Poos ki Raat" to Yashpal or "Pardah" to Premchand because a free PDF had the references jumbled.
This solved paper is checked against the official IGNOU release, written by a NET-qualified Hindi scholar, and corrected when something needs an update. There's also a real human at the other end if you spot anything off.
Student Reviews
Vandana, Allahabad. Working as a private school Hindi teacher, doing BAHDH on weekends to qualify for senior secondary roles. The Baba Bharti samajikaran answer was the cleanest I've seen, with three transformation phases laid out: aastha, vishwasghaat, punarjagaran. I borrowed the same structure for my mock and got 14 out of 16.
Yogesh, Patna. First-year BAHDH student, full-time prepping for state PCS-J alongside IGNOU. Honestly, the Hiraman-Hirabai character pair used to confuse me on which traits to attach to which character. The two-column comparison in this paper finally made each character's distinct quality visible.
Anushka, Ahmedabad. Returning to studies after 7 years, current homemaker. The Poos ki Raat analysis was beautifully argued, with Halku's helplessness and Munni's hardened practicality woven together. The way specific scenes from the cold night were quoted in support made the whole answer feel grounded.

Is this the genuine BHDC-110 December 2025 IGNOU paper?
Yes, this is the actual IGNOU Term-End Examination paper from December 2025, reproduced exactly as it appeared in the exam hall. We've matched every gadyansh and every prashn word for word against the official IGNOU release for B.A. Honours Hindi students. The solutions are written by our subject expert team, but the questions themselves are completely authentic and verifiable against the institute's records.
Will this paper help me for the June 2026 or December 2026 exam?
Absolutely, the December 2025 paper is your sharpest practice tool for any 2026 attempt. IGNOU recycles topic patterns, vyakhya selection from the same stories, and essay frames across cycles, so the patterns you spot here will repeat. Most students who solve this paper twice and study the answer structures report a clear jump in their kahani analysis answers during the actual exam.
Are the gadyansh vyakhya questions fully solved?
Yes, every gadyansh in Q1 is fully solved with proper sandarbh, prasang, line-by-line vyakhya, shilp, and saahityik mahatva. The five excerpts in this paper come from Sudarshan, Yashpal, Nirmal Verma, an additional women-centric kahani, and Bhishma Sahni's Cheef ki Daawat tradition. BHDC-110 is descriptive rather than numerical, so the focus stays on accurate attribution, character identification, and structured prose.
Can I use this for my BHDC-110 assignment too?
You can use it as a reference, but please don't copy directly into your assignment. IGNOU runs plagiarism checks on assignment submissions and direct copying risks rejection or zero marks. Treat this solved paper as a structure guide, study how points are arranged, then write your assignment in your own voice. Most students use it to internalise the vyakhya pattern first, then frame original responses for assignment submission.
How fast does the file reach me after payment?
The PDF is delivered the moment your payment goes through. Your download link reaches your registered email and your Unnati Education account dashboard within a minute. There's no manual sending, no Telegram redirect, no waiting period. If the email lands in spam or you face any glitch, our support team responds on WhatsApp the same day to share the file directly with you.
What if I find an error or I'm not satisfied?
You're protected. Write to our support team within 48 hours and we will fix it or refund you. We take quality seriously because most of our team has actually sat in IGNOU exam halls. If a gadyansh is wrongly attributed, a kahanikaar misidentified, or content does not match the official paper, we either send a corrected version or process the refund without putting you through any argument.
