In Hindi literature the main proponents of Purani Kahani are Munshi Premchand and Jai Shankar Prasad. In old stories the narrative would follow a definite story line. The writer would go on telling and many events happen one after another. On the other hand in Nai Kahani nothing much wouid happen and if something happens the focus was more on its impact on the mind of the characters. New Story came into being during the first two decades after Indian independence. The period from 1955-1963 is considered to be the time span of Nai Kahani. The narrative of these stories is broken. There is symbolism in these stories like in the stories Malve ka Malik, Khoyi Hui Dishayen and Iceberg. Namvar Singh declares the story Parinde by Nirmal Verma as the representative story of Nai Kahani. Parinde is symbolic of destiny, in Mohan Rakesh's story Ek Thehra Hua Chaku, chaku is the symbol of hooliganism and injustice. Images, which are another characteristic of Nai Kahani, provide accurate and crystalline meaning to Nai Kahani. Instead of the conversation style, consciousness flow style and preview style of the old story, the new story follows diary style and fantasy style.
