{"product_id":"kagaji-hai-pairahan","title":"Kagaji Hai Pairahan","description":"\u003cp\u003eUrduS Rebellious Writer, Ismat Chughtai, Has Been As Intimate With Hindi Readers As She Is With Urdu. The Extent To Which Ismat ChughtaiS Stories Have Attacked The Conservative Values And Worn-Out Traditions Of Indian Society, And The Profound Contribution She Has Made To Making It A More Humane Society, Is Something Few Can Match. Readers Naturally Wonder What Constitutes This Writer, Who So Keenly Observes Her Surroundings And Creates Such Vivid Characters, And What Process Has Shaped Her. Perhaps, With This Curiosity In Mind, Ismat Apa Penned Her Autobiography, Titled Kaghazi Hai Pairahan. This Book Is, In Essence, An Autobiography, But It Reads Like A Novel, And Even More Than A Novel. Such A Vivid, Authentic Description Of An Entire Time And Society Is Rarely Found. Tolstoy Said Of Gorky That His Stories Are Interesting, But His Life Is Even More Interesting. The Same Can Be Said Verbatim About Ismat Chughtai. ItS Easy To Imagine The Difficulties A Girl In A Purdah-Observing Aristocratic Muslim Family Faced In The 1930S While Learning And Writing. These Difficulties Form The Central Theme Of *Kaghazi Hai Pairahan*. But The Pain These Difficulties Must Have Instilled In A Stubborn Girl Is Something The Reader Must Understand For Themselves, Because Expressing Her Sorrows And Showing Self-Pity Was Not Ismat ChughtaiS Nature. This Book Is A Perfect Example Of The Rhythm Of Prose And How Effortlessly It Conveys The Deep Complexities Of Life. Writing In Ismat ApaS Own Words, I Feel As If The Readers Are Sitting In Front Of Me, Talking To Them, And They Are Listening. Some Are Like-Minded, Some Are Ecstatic, Some Are Smiling, Some Are Angry. Some Are Genuinely Enraged. Even Now, When I Write, I Feel Like IM Talking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rajkamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424065962229,"sku":"DADAX8171789676","price":20.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81Z2E2OK3OL.jpg?v=1766034112","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/kagaji-hai-pairahan","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
