rebel of Urdu literary tradition. Her rebellion was
not only an ideological but also she believed in
rebellion as a lifestyle. Her characters are an
evocation of her rebellious thought. Rebellion is a
way to equalize social inequalities. In sub -continent
al society women used to sacrifice their personal
rights in order to follow religious, moral, social or
legal obligations. Ismat created rebel characters of
women to give a hope of change. Not only her
female but also male characters are rebels of
prevalent social norms and values. Although this
rebellion seems superficial, but as fiction is a bit
larger picture of life, it does not seem that much
odd. Progressive writers association brought
rebellion and rebellious characters in vogue. But
