Ahmad, Ishfaq

Gadaria : Ujlay Phool - Lahore Sang-e-Meel, 2007 - 160 p. 16x24 cm

The afsana (short story) by Ashfaq Ahmad has a wonderful mix of fate, events and social interactions. A man sees himself elevated from humble beginnings to a respectable status only to be brought down right to the point where he STARTED by fate/ events. It reveals in a very subtle way the ironies and pains of the times of the partition of India in to Pakistan and India.
