Abstract
Pakistan’s emergence on the literary vault can be noticed through the considerable critical
acclaim Pakistani writers writing in English are receiving worldwide. Among such writers
with divergent interests and experiences is Nadeem Aslam, one of the most widely
acknowledged Pakistani writer writing in English, who from the slums of Pakistan, to the
Pakistani immigrant families, has attempted to assess the living standards of the oppressed
in his fictional world.
This paper explores, on the one hand, how political oppression and colonial anxieties
become haunting in the form of ghosts, specters and seething presences and on the other,
how the horror of oriented other figures prominently in Nadeem Aslam’s fiction. Pakistani
fiction has not been explored from this perspective previously. Every aesthetic, architectural
or structural movement has a smear of past on its face
