'''''Bhagyawati''''' is an 1877 novel by [[Shardha Ram Phillauri]]. The book is now acknowledged as the one of the first novels in [[Hindi language|Hindi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://scroll.in/article/756753/your-article-on-hindi-chauvinism-had-factual-inaccuracies|title='Your article on Hindi chauvinism had factual inaccuracies'}}</ref> Previously, Lala Sri Niwas had written his Hindi novel [[Pariksha guru]], which was published in 1882. ''Bhagyawati'' is believed to have been written mainly in [[Amritsar]] and was first published in 1877.<br />
<br />
According to ''[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]'' (India), the novel was written specifically to "bring an awakening" amongst [[Women in India|Indian women]].<ref name="The Tribune, Chandigarh, India 2005">{{cite web | title=Hindi novel’s first cradle | website=The Tribune | date=17 March 2005| url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050317/aplus.htm#1 | access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref> The book's main character was a woman, and it offered a progressive perspective on women's rights and status. At a time when [[widow]]s were considered unholy and impure, [[child marriage]] was common, and newborn girls were often killed, the novel advocated widow marriage, condemned child marriage, and affirmed the equality of male and female children. The book was often given to daughters at marriage as a part of the dowry.<br />
