Karachi. The narrative deals with the story of three characters who have known one another while in India and meet once again when all three of them take refuge in Pakistan. Their individual social positions have been reversed because of the upheaval of partition. Salma, affluent while in India, is reduced to penury in Pakistan, while Surayya and Jamshed servile to Salma’s family while in India, find their positions elevated. The partition of the country has turned their lives upside down.
With the focus on problems faced by Muslims migrating from India to the newly created state of Pakistan, the novella explores the cataclysmal relocation of the populace resulting in an abrupt change of social order.”
