- Abstract
This paper critically analyzes and traces the parallel images that contribute in establishing Ahmed Ali as both a feminist writer who brings out the voice of the suppressed female as well as a writer who laments the change that the Delhi city and the people of India were wrought. In tracing this decline, Ahmed Ali's feminist stance is also revealed, where he likens the beauty of the Delhi city with the beauty of a woman. It is thus, that the image of the woman: the courtesan as well as the domestic woman reign important in the novel. The gradual decline of the position of women, demonstrated in the marriages that take place and in their physical ailments and gradual deaths, is paralleled with the historical changes that take place in this city.
