Topi Shukla by Rāhī Māsūma Razā PDF Summary

Book Description: "Set in Aligarh in the early 1960s, after the dust of Partition has ostensibly settled, Topi Shukla is a story of two friends - one Hindu and the other Muslim." "Through the characters of people like Topi and Iffan, the novel looks at the lives of ordinary people trying to survive in a society that insists on a brutal conformity of behaviour. It is about individuals whose spirits are paralysed because they cannot conform, and about history's inability to teach mankind any worthwhile lessons." "Language plays an important part in this narrative, operating almost as a character in its own right. Topi, as a Hindi bull in the Urdu china shop, invokes the historical stand-off between the two languages. The novel also explores the culture and psyche of Uttar Pradesh with its very Muslim Aligarh, its very Hindu Benares, and their exotic confluence in Lucknow."--BOOK JACKET.
