Abstract
The relationship between literature and society is natural and bilateral. Literature influences the society and gets influenced by it as well. No writer can remain indifferent to the changes happening in his era and society. The Urdu novel has this uniqueness that since its inception it has been associated with social realism. Khadija Mastoor enjoys special status among Urdu novelists, with regard to the awareness of the social consciousness and true depiction of it with the related context. She is one of those novelists who are not detached from the society and social problems it is pregnant with. This article presents a research based critical review of the representation of the society along with its various facets in her novels. Her novels present a true picture of the Indian society before partition and of that which emerged after the creation of Pakistan. Her writings help one understand the rapid changes occuring in the society in both of the eras, the dismantling of the social values and the causes of moral crisis happening with those changes. Her Aangan is the narrative depiction of the society existed in united India, while Zameen shows the cross section of social life in Pakistan.
