A Critical Study of Decline of Muslim Culture & Tradition through Characters with Different Perspectives in Ahmad Ali’s Twilight in Delhi
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Twilight in Delhi is supposed to be a story of a Muslim family lived in Delhi at the beginning of the 20th century. The novel talks about the journey of the family’s fate value and cultural heritage shown through different events. It is a glimpse of history; all kinds of human emotions are discussed here by Ahmed Ali. The novel has many parallel themes, at one stage I encounter the theme of continuity and at another stage I find the writer justifies the theme of change. The themes of change and supremacy of time are the important aspects, with the passage of time the tables are turned and life changes its way without considering any consequences. Current study particularly emphasized on the declination of Muslim culture, through the all major characters with different perspectives.
