The Lashtar Can Be Called The First Indian Novel. When Hasan Shah Wrote It In 1790, The English-Style Novel Had Not Yet Emerged In India. This Was A Time When The Nawabi Splendor Was On Its Decline In India, And The British Had Begun Establishing Their Foothold In Various Places. They Began To Consider Themselves Nawabs, And Entertaining Themselves With The Local Dancing And Singing Women Became Their Hobby. Consequently, Groups Of Women Engaged In This Profession Also Began To Join The British Courts For Their Livelihoods. The Protagonist Of The Lashtar Falls In Love With A Girl From One Such Group, And The Outcome Is No Less Than A Greek Tragedy. Khanum JaanS Charming Yet Powerful Personality Lends A Remarkable Dignity To The Tragedy. The Lashtar Is An Autobiographical Novel. A Love Story. A Tragedy...But ItS Not Just About Love, But About An Entire Life, An Entire Tradition, Connected To Dance, Music, And Art And Culture. Originally Written In Persian, This Eighteenth-Century Work Also Exhibits Many Hallmarks Of Modernity At The Level Of Craft.
