Novel “Ahankar” by Noorul Hasnain Pdf Free Download
Aahankar Novel, authored by Noorul Hasnain. This novel stands out as an important creation in Urdu fiction, which not only highlights the problems of contemporary life and the complexities of human relationships but also sets a fine example on the artistic level. This novel meets the high principles and artistic requirements of storytelling. While it has a rich presence of story, character, and scenario, there is also a wonderful combination of style, symbols, and technical skills.
“Aahankar” describes the internal and external conflict of a man who fails to treat his wife in time due to a lack of material resources, and after her death, he becomes obsessed with guilt, regret, victimization, and remorse. This is not just the story of an individual but the story of today’s man, who is running after progress and materialism, neglecting relationships and human values.
The main character, Sampat Rao, is a complex personality whose external actions sometimes make him a negative character, but his inner self is constantly plagued by a guilty conscience. In contrast, the character of “Karoba” symbolizes a simple, rural life and natural innocence, which causes Sampat Rao’s conscience to awaken. An intellectual and moral conflict emerges between the two that keeps the reader constantly curious.
Noorul Hasnain has skillfully used the technique of “flashback and flashforward” in the novel, which not only keeps the continuity of the story tied, but also provides the reader with the facility to go back and forth between the past and the present. The story is like a knot, which gradually unravels and ultimately provides the reader with a complete scenario.
The scenario of the novel emerges as a separate character. The environment, language, culture, and lifestyle of rural India are presented in the novel with such skill that it not only makes the reader a part of this world but also transforms it into a living, breathing reality.
One of Noorul Hasnain’s important artistic qualities is his symbolic and metaphorical language. His metaphors and symbols seem very simple at first glance, but as the story progresses, their layers of meaning unfold. For example, Sampat Rao’s late wife emerges as the scourge of his conscience, which shakes him at every wrong step.
“Ahankar” is not just a story, but an intellectual and social dialogue that brings today’s reader face to face with himself. This novel tells us that:
- Material progress is not the guarantee of human happiness.
- Human relationships are the basis of real life.
- Only the voice of conscience and the inner awareness of man can save man from animalism.
“Aahankar” is a novel that holds a special place in Urdu literature due to its intellectual depth, artistic maturity, symbolic system, and psychological complexity of the characters. It is not only a complete literary experience but also a piece of writing that shakes the heart and mind of the reader. Noorul Hasnain, with her simplicity, sophistication, and artistic skill, has presented a creation that leaves a lasting impression.
