Modern knowledge and science is believed to have rejected most traditional beliefs and concepts. Darwin, through his theory of evolution, presented man as an evolved version of the monkey. Freud turned human actions subservient to human sub-consciousness instead of consciousness. Marx rejected traditional concepts about capitalists, industrialists and the labor class, and introduced the concept of ‘Dialectical Materialism’. The impact of all such points of view was felt directly and indirectly by religious ideologies. Where man used to think himself king of all creation, modern science trumped that notion, stealing from his intellectual pride. The consequent result of capitalism appeared before us in the form of market conflicts. As a result, the world bore the destruction caused by two world wars. All moral values were kept aside. The individual fled from objectivity and sought solace in subjectivity. Loneliness and alienation were destined to him. This article attempts to comprehend and analyze this condition as illustrated in the Urdu novel.
