Nice stories
The media could not be loaded. मेरी पुस्तक के कुछ 10 बीच से पेज फटे हुये थे, मुझे जल्दी के वजह से उसे उसी हालत में रखना पड़ा। पुस्तक लेने से पहले यह सुनिश्चित कर लें कि आपकी उर्दू कुछ हद तक ठीक हो, वरना आपको काफी वक्त भी लग सकता है असल मतलब समझने में किसी भी कथा का।एक स्टार बुक फटी होने के कारण कम देना पड़ रहा है अन्यथा पुस्तक कमाल है।

She was accused of writing obscene literature. A trial took place in the Lahore Court. It was said that Ismat Chughtai have played with people's sentiment and there was pressure on her to apologize for writing filthy story such as Lihaaf. But Ismat Chughtai believed that she did not write any wrong thing in this story. That's why she neither say sorry nor feel ashamed. Finally she won the court case.Lihaaf is depicted in famous stories of the world. The story is considering as a text material in Urdu-Hindi literature. In this story you will get lesbianism. If you guys don't like to read such kind of story then you can skip this book.The narrator of this story is a little girl who was very mischievous in her childhood. She fought all day with her brothers and their friends. That's why one day her mother left her with Begum Jaan and went to Agra for about a week.Begum Jaan was her mother's adopted sister who has to get married to an old Nawab at the will of her poor parents. Once married, Begum Jaan discovered that her husband is a gay and how unalike she and Nawab Sahib is. Her husband didn't have a moment to spare for her and nor did he allow her to go out. He tucked her away in the house like a possession. She had only one friend, Rabbu, the maid who fullfills her sexual desires.When the narrator's mother left her to Begum Jaan she had to sleep in Begum Jaan's room where Rabbu was always there. She used to witness the meeting of Begum Jaan and Rabbu every night. She couldn't forget those nights of what she thought was an elephant's romping in Begum Jaan's quilt at her young age.

Women is women, not God or whore , women is women
Language is a bit difficult to read , but very good read , bandi culture is cruel , women wants to be a woman , she does not want God or whore , she wants to be only women,
