- Abstract
- Since the nineteenth century the theme of women’s position in family and society has been developing in Urdu literature. Gaining new scopes and dimensions, the gender problem has become one of the most relevant topics in world literatures, including the one created by the Urdu-speaking diaspora. The writers discuss problems of major importance like women’s equality within the family, their contribution to social life and creation of cultural and literary values etc. They oppose violence and prejudices that victimize women nowadays as well. The specificities of the gender problematics and their creative reflection in Urdu literature bear a clear national stamp and at the same time depend upon an individual author’s views on the men-women relations. The short stories by Amjad discuss a whole complex of gender problems relevant to the most important spheres of life of Indo-Pakistan migrants to Great Britain.
