Posted @withregram • @theundauntedjessamine Title: BANO Author: Razia Butt Goodreads Rating: 4.05/5 My Rating : 5/5 ▪ A heart touching story that leads to the countless wounds being opened again, sighs and cries of deaths and loss. It describe the need of Pakistan. That why was Pakistan a necessity in first place and also deals with the stories of those people who gave their all for the birth of this sacred land. Razia Butt portrays the main character of Bano as a very lovable and charming character. Pre-Partition Bano is sweet, has a family and loved by all. And then Indo-Pak partition takes place, and this novel also a naked description of the difficulties and the disasters faced by the migrants. Post-Partition Bano is sad, alone and forlorn at the hands of the fate she faces in the course of partition. After years of torture at the hands of the enemy, she reaches Pakistan with her child and hope that her own people, her Pakistanis will embrace her and give her the respect and dignity she had lost at the hands of fate, but in turn, is extremely ignored and loathed by her own aunt and her fiancee Hassan, who has confused feelings and is torn between his past with her and a future that his aunt and mother promise him. Although Bano was never to blame, the society and their sickening thinking is to blame. This novel is a mirror for the society. #Bano #RaziaButt #sangemeelpublications #Pakistan #Pakistanzindabad #14thaugust1947 #14thaugust #IndoPakPartition # QuaideAzam #MuhammadAliJinnah #FatimaJinnah #AllamaIqbal #nationalpoet #Azadi #Jalandhar #Lahore #Ludhiana #WahgaAttari #LordMountbatten (at Sang-e-Meel Publications) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3XdeupKW1/?igshid=4pkc62fx24v9
