Novel 25th October
The novelist is the man who has been known as a king since childhood and is truly a nice man. He has not blamed himself against his conscience and everywhere he has spoken the truth, I have also spent a few colorful moments with him and I also know that this man has talked to everyone within his circle. But the shameless faces of the state have come out by his words with boldness, only a believer can speak so clearly about such a poisonous country.
Poetic Lines;
"I always felt empty of something, but God forbid, I didn't write poetry for sovereign".
I also agree that in this novel, Baacha has kept in mind not only the state, Pashto, and Islamic laws, but also what he has planted in his heart, he has repeated with the mouth of the pen. A journalist and a writer have the right to express the illness of the society to public as a reformer in the sphere of their creation, both legitimate and illegitimate in society.
Bacha has deeply explored the state's face in the novel, we are familiar with the name "David Jones" in such a way that the people will keep the state hot, countless explosions and targeting important people and so on. Other misdeeds were committed by unknown individuals. Many writers remained silent after the incident of 9/11, why they were threatened with death and injury, but after the formation of "Pashtun Tahafuz Moment", they were given a way to find out. The ignorant man would do his best to speak out against the tyranny of the oppressor, but the fighters who would respond to the state in a rational manner would face similar difficulties in various ways from the state.
In others words, state fought Baloch and Pashtuns against each other, this ongoing corruption between Balochs and Pashtuns. When will we turn this enmity between Hazaras and Pashtuns into unity, that state has already created?
Sometimes they try to sow discord among the tribes or nations and sometimes they attacked tribes each other in the name of Islam, but the PTM's clear statement has made it clear to the world that the Pashtuns Not the people of war but the adherents of Bacha Khan's philosophy of "non-violence". In every forum they have continued their literary and political endeavors under the shadow of non-violence.
Although the novel deals with love, change, annoyance and politics in a very useful way, it also visually illustrates the "sex" hunger of the Pashtuns, if nothing else could be done by the Pashtuns, but looking at the woman, it looks like a dog sitting impatiently in a butcher's shop, calling it love, which is a black spot on the neck of love, and if given the chance, the beast will find the "Farishta Momanda", and this animals can do the same, but it's all up to our state and our society.
This novel is all written about the past of Pashtuns. You would say that Hoboho has done the same to me but there is something else that has not paid any attention to Pashtun traditions and culture. There are threads woven on the thread of love, but having those relationships within the framework of Pashtuns is not considered a good thing by the Pashtuns.
There are several traumatic events in the chest of the novel which I don't think it is appropriate to mention, but the special feature of this novel is that the man didnt know what means 25th October, I was thinking that would have been such a big event or explosion, but the real meaning of this has been clarified by the author in the end.
I thought it was like a very good Bollywood movie, who could get to the heart of the matter at last, and also that it was the unique perfection of Bacha's writing.
