"Alina of Azimabad" provides a rare and valuable insight into
issues being faced by women in South Asia. Alina, the character
created by the author tells an extraordinary and remarkable account
of her life spread over almost half a century. The story starts off
in the aftermath of the partition of India. It is a saga of the
hidden world of feudalism with its exploitation and degeneration.
The account also stresses the point that Pakistan is not
inhabited by fanatics and is as normal a country as any other.
The author has very vividly touched upon social problems in his
work and has specifically addressed gender issues. His strength
lies in his ability to express himself with ease. The language he
uses is simple, crisp and endowed with brevity. He has also
introduced several common words of South Asian origin into the
English Language. The narrative is very readable and
interesting.
