Abstract

Zahida Hina is a well-known fiction writer, novelist, and columnist from Pakistan. After reading Zahida's stories, there is no problem in forming an opinion about her that she has written a wide range of literature, history, society, and religion. Along with studying, he has made full use of them and has taken material from all these things and made it a part of his legends. Through social realism, Zahida Hina not only made the subject of social life, class contradiction, the oppressed classes of society, and the injustice done to them in her fiction, but also the contractors of politics and religion who work for their own interests. Those who exploit others do not escape from their pen. Zahida Hina had a close relationship with the individual and the society. His fiction is based on reality. Social realism, problems and difficulties of the poor, cruelty and injustice, a sense of humiliation, self-respect, and cruelty and abuse of the feudal class are present everywhere in the fictions of Zahida Hina. For this reason, human psychology and social issues are found everywhere in his fiction. His fictions "Zaitoon ki aak shakh" and "Rang tamam Khun Shud" are the best examples in which he has depicted society in full.
