DOCUMENTATION IN MUSTANSAR HUSSAIN TARAR'S NOVELS

Abstract

Mustansar Hussain Tarar has expressed his historical and cultural awareness in his fiction and non-fiction writings. His writings are important assets in terms of national and international history, civilization and culture. The echo of history, civilization, documentation and culture is heard directly and indirectly in Tarar's writings. His historical, cultural and cultural studies illuminate his creative works. In the context of history, civilization and culture, his writings are a storehouse of information for the readers. Especially his novels "Bahao", "Rakh" and "Khas-o-Khashak Zamanay" contain complete documents of their era. . If his novel "Bahao" is studied, it becomes clear that it describes the conditions of an ancient settlement whose inhabitants are wandering in search of water. Rivers are key to human civilization. In "Ash", he has discussed the failures and wrong policies of our politics, bureaucracy and military power and told the story of Pakistan's decline. ""Khas-o-Khashak Zamanay" is another novel by Mustansar Hussain in terms of documentary status, in which a character from the fall of Dhaka has been brought forward in such a way that he is in search of his identity. In this novel, the harmful effects of the partition of India, the colonial system, Hindu-Muslim conflicts, the invasion of non-Muslim conquerors and the fortress of cultural decline, narrow-mindedness, weak faith and ignorant beliefs have been exposed.
