Abstract
The current research is a critical and textual analysis of Dr. Humaira Ashfaq's novel Me-Sozam. The novel along with being a work of literature also portrays the realistic picture of women in the cultural background of Khuzdar. The story reveals the revolutionary and rebellious struggle of a poetess Rabia who comes from the ruling class of the area. In the social set-ups of the world, matriarchy exists only in traces; rather the variegated views of societies, through the lens of history reveal the suppressed status of women. On the other hand, women dignity and decorous fight against the odds is also a traceable reality historically. The lives of the Queen of Jhansi, Razia Sultana, and Fatima Sughra are a few of the examples and one similar character is princess Rabia who is the central character of Dr. Humaira Ashfaq's novel. The female protagonist despite being a member of royal family becomes the mouthpiece of the crushed multitudes against the unwarranted customs and the exploitation of the ruling class. Dr Humaira Ashfaq has artistically woven a real tragic event into a piece of literary work.
