Abstract
Kishwar Naheed is primarily known as a poet, but she is also a prose writer who seems to raise the flag of rebellion. Her autobiography “Buri Aurat Ki Katha” is a philosophical autobiography that reveals the psychological complexities of the situations, events and difficulties that occur between a girl and a woman. Buri Aurat Ki Katha is not the story of any bad woman, but it is the story of every woman who is given the title of bad woman for demanding women’s rights. Kishwar Naheed’s bold style is an expression of the fact that until social and moral standards are set in society, mistreatment of women will continue. The expression of gender in Kishwar Naheed’s prose reflects the sexual oppression in society as well as the theories of important psychologists Adler, Freud and Young. In this regard, in the light of his writings “Buri Aurat Ki Katha”, “Shenasaiyan Ruswaiyan”, “Buri Aurat Ke Khatoot”, “Kishwar Naheed Ki Notebook”, “Muthi Bhar Yaadeen” and “Buri Aurat Ki Dusri Katha”. This article has done a psychological analysis of his prose writing. Since there is a lack of sex education in the Indian subcontinent, it is believed that such awareness will increase sexual misconduct. In this regard too, Kishwar Naheed’s writings enlighten us with its psychological factors. Also, Kishwar Naheed’s raw analysis in the style of psychological analysis on topics like girls’ choice of marriage, society’s inappropriate attitude towards women in other issues of marital life is an important part of this article.
