Bahao Novel by Mustansar Hussain Tarar Pdf Free Download
Bahao Novel by Mustansar Hussain Tarar is a novel that fascinates readers with its compelling exploration of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, blending facts and fiction in a magnificent spectacle of historical portrayal. Rather than being a historical tribute, the story resembles a philosophical work that expresses existential concerns.
This novel is a fantastical journey into the Bronze Age when the region was a cradle of civilization and thriving with culture, architecture, and commerce. The level of meticulousness Tarar invests in reviving the minutiae of this civilization is astounding, breathing life into characters, locales, and traditions that have long since been lost in the annals of history. The intricacies of maritime trade with Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations, the architectural finesse of rainwater harvesting, and the cosmopolitan spirit of its denizens have been vividly described.
Yet, Tarar’s novel is not merely a historical record but a philosophical meditation. The narrative poses existential questions to its characters that reverberate profoundly within the reader. Paroshni and Warchan, the central figures, grapple with questions concerning their existence and societal norms. Their inquiries mirror the timeless philosophical dilemmas intrinsic to the human condition, making the narrative a poignant exploration of human nature. Tarar’s insightful take on the human mind and its inherent curiosity add a beautiful layer to historical fiction.
Moreover, Tarar masterfully weaves in the beginnings of the Indian philosophical school of thought, particularly the Aasthika (Hindu philosophy), along the shores of the river Sarasvati. This inclusion lends the narrative an intellectual depth, proving the book to be more than a captivating tale but also a treasure trove of cultural and philosophical insights.
Notably, Tarar’s depiction of civilizations extends beyond religious affiliations. This aspect of his novel is both enlightening and relevant, demonstrating that civilizations are cultural entities, not religious ones. His comments during an interview with Dawn beautifully encapsulate this belief, breaking through the conventional narratives of the origins of civilizations.
“Bahao” also encapsulates the complexities of human relationships and emotions in the love triangle of Paroshni, Warchan, and Soomro. Tarar’s ability to portray deep human emotions amidst the grandeur of an ancient civilization is truly commendable. Furthermore, the portrayal of Maman Masa, the wise character in society, symbolizes the quintessential wise old man, offering insights into the human psyche and societal dynamics.
