- Cultural Study:- The prime duty of any literary writer is to present the contemporary issues and picture of nation. Everyone has the right to voice and freedom of expression. So they are free to portrayed the condition of their country. But many follower of ideology and political discourse try to banned this kind of harsh reality, because they do not bear the bad images of their culture and country.
- Post-colonialism:
General belief of the people is that writer must write about the glory and positive side of their country, and we Asian believe that western people give awards on our bed images and they happy because western people feel happy when they see our poor condition. But this is not right, we have many examples from the western works:Oliver Twist ,Sense and sensibility ,The west land etc. These all works portrayed the reality of the society.
If we want to reform our poor condition, this kind of work is very important to open the eyes of power.
