Qurratulain was representative of bygone Islamic culture - feudalism, leisure- what is called ANDULOUS SYMDROME.

Don't know much.. but the "River of Fire" starts from the Ancient Indian period and ends at present time. Its not totally 'feudalistic', as Mr Mukherjee puts it.

This Taatakthaiyya Mukherjee is a Hindu fundamentalist. Hey u cheapo Taatakthaiyya, listen to me. India is not progressing as fast as it should because of decrepit, senile, fecus infested dirty, miserable, pathetic, flea infested brains like you. I have been observing u on these blogs for a long time. U just come here to show ur hatred against anything Islamic. Remember that you were kicked and booted out of the CPI. Please shed your hatred and stop poisoning young minds. What do you eat maaan, to have such ahtred filled heart and mind? Grow up, u immature, senile nincompoop. Let us all live in harmony and think of India's progress!

Did you read his work? I have not.

I have read Sunil Ganguly and Bimal Mitra's works. Some of their novel deal with decaying feudalism. Even Sunil's Sha-e Shamoy and Hathat Alo deal with bygone hindu culture -- feudalism and leisure. But again they are novels based on historical events. I do not know anything about the urdu writer, I cannot even pronounce his name. I think I should shut up.

Sumani,

Yes, feudalism is shown in Sunil Gangopadhyay's work. But NOT in positive sense. Its portrayed in negative sense.

Close simile of Qurratulain's work can be found in Satyajit Ray's "Satranj Ke Khiladi". Of a decaying, feudal society.

Guys, Qurrat-ul-Ain is a Lady not a Man, I don't know much about Urdu so better to be silent.
