Basti is a beautifully written fictional chronicle of Pakistan's tragic modern history and is regarded as Intizar Husain's foundational masterpiece. In Urdu, basti means settlement or common place, and the novel begins with a mythical vision of harmony among old and young, men and women, Muslims and Hindus. Then Zakir ( the one who remembers ), the protagonist, awakens to the modern world in the midst of a demonstration. The crowds surge. Slogans are shouted. Citi burn. He thinks of the love he left behind... What brings people together, and what tears them apart-- sometim so violently? Basti is both a love story and a meditation on the eternal qutions, set against a conflict whose echo are still felt today.
