Rendering History through Fiction: Chaman Nahal’s Azadi as a Record of Human Sufferings

Abstract

Chaman Nahal weaves the narrative on the politico-cultural indices: violence, repression, misuse of religion, promotion of vested interest, mistrust, intolerance and so on. By juxtaposing the personal histories with the official versions, they vividly bring forth the complex nature of reality which does not come forth in the official versions of history.
