<p>Mastur's work, marked by a scathing, uncompromising realism, reveals a deep concern for the lives of ordinary people, especially women, who have been passed by in the rush for modernization. Her fiction also explores the political undercurrents that have shaped Pakistan's turbulent history and she examines the issues of minorities, a subject rarely touched on in Urdu fiction.</p>

This volume offers a fascinating glimpse into a fabled world. It provides a record of the customs, rituals, and the medieval pageantry to which the author was eyewitness and which now seem to belong to a distant age. Her book examines the heritage of these traditions, which were an integral part of Indo-Muslim culture from Mughal times until Partition, and which are still practiced in modern India and Pakistan.
