Dasht-e-Soos, more sentimental and more philosophical, amazing, fascinating and astonishing dispassionate analysis of a bye gone age of Muslim history, One can imagine that the main player of Jamila Hashmi's this novel would be Hussain Bin Mansur Hillaj. However throughout the story one cannot escape the overbearing aroma of "Aghul" and other characters. This was an unexpected love story or at least with an unusual diction that one does not come across in Urdu fiction .Many of the critics expected a story that would bring out Hillaj as he was commonly imagined but Jamila Hashmi had done a lot of historical and theoretical research to write about the Sufi Saint's inner journey. Someone who challenged the Status -quo of religion in 9th century Baghdad.But Jamila Hashmi's interest was in writing about the journey which started with Aghul"and ended with every bit of Hillaj's body, as it was hung by the king's decree and then chopped into pieces , screaming Anal Haq.
