The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns: A Critical Analysis: A Portrayal of Ethnic and Religious Differences and War Situations in Afghanistan - Softcover

This book analyses the novels The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini which delineate different aspects of Hazara-Pashtun relations through the interactions between Amir, Hassan, Sohrab, Assef, Laila, Mariam and other characters belonging to different ethnic groups. The study bears out that wars affect a nation deeply and bring to the fore the dormant conflicts arising from strained relations among the people belonging to different groups. The study argues that ethnic and racial conflicts destroy the peace and harmony of a nation and cause immense trauma to the innocent citizens subjected to violence and discrimination.
