EFFACING THE TAG OF FUNDAMENTALISM: A READING OF MOSHIN HAMID’S THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST

The Paper entitled “Effacing the Tag of Fundamentalism: A Reading of Moshin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist” attempts to study Moshin Hamid's strenuous efforts to wipe out the image attached to his native land Pakistan as a Fundamentalist Country. The writer vociferously asserts that Pakistan is not as bad as the International community believes. Inorder to drive home his notion he recollects the experiences of Changez, a Pakistani youngster pursuing higher studies in America. The author tactfully depicts the changing attitude of America against the backdrop of September 11 attack on America. The author gloats over the glorious past of Pakistan, registers its present conflicts and envisages its glorious future.
