The novel challenges the conventional notions of caste, religion, and societal expectations, highlighting the hypocrisy that often permeates these structures.
The childhood romance between neighbours blossoms into passionate love during adolescence. Majeed's father was rich once, so could send him to a school in the distant town, although he was not very good at studies. Suhra's father on the other hand had trouble making both ends meet.
