Hello,
If any of you has read his afsaanay , i was wondering what do you think about his writtings . He is known as the greater writer of the subcontinent and all i read views about him were from the elite writers who presented him in form of a mirror of our soceity , a prophecy of the upcoming soceity of pakistan and all that .
I remember when i was in my school grade , a teacher had just refused me to read his books because according to her he writes bad things about women .

Out of curiosity i bought his book and started reading that , i have read so many of his fictions .
My thoughts are that he indeed presented a sour reality of our soceity and its treatment toward women . Almost of his fictions are surrounding a woman and related to the private relationship between men Nd women . I agree his fictions are a mirror to our soceity but at sametime , i couldnt feel women in his fictions as a humanbeing having her own feelings and respect . What i read is how is she raped or sexualised , or objectified by men . I felt women as an object of pleasure for men in his writings , he has spoke all fantasies so mercilessly that men has for women . He was a merciless writer that didnt fear to write about the private relationship between men and women openly . So boldly he wrote about the frustration of men toward women .
There is rarely a mention of women desires . And i dont really disagree with him , its how our soceity is . Men desires are held more important and holy than a women's.
Im not insulting this great writer , his fictions were entertaining but some can be disturbing too . Some of his fictions really disturbed me mentally and i had to work hard to forget that fiction from my mind .

But i actually salute him to represent more than half of our soceity so boldly but i guess that not all men think of women as a pleasure toy .
Its my layman opinion and im interested to know other layman opinion here .

Well he exposed the hypocrisy of this society. But at the same time he advocated vulgarity through his literature at certain spots. That was the way he wrote and expressed but that's just a slight disagreement of mine.
