SILENT REVOLUTIONS: MASCULINITY, RELIGIOUS POWER, AND WOMEN'S RESILIENCE IN “THE WHISPERING CHINAR” BY ALI ’ROHILA

Abstract

This study examines Ali Rohila’s The Whispering Chinar, which deftly tackles problems of masculinity, spiritual validity, and the tenacity of victimized women in the medieval way of life. By using underlining cultural ideals that elevate assertiveness and strength at the same time as eroding societal stability, the novel’s tale analyses how guys’s unwavering quest for pleasure and honor creates competitiveness, prejudice, and narcissism. It explores how non-secular leaders distort belief systems to maintain energy, exposing their good-sized role in changing ethical norms to stifle dissent and preserve inequalities. The narrative points out the notable resilience of girls who endured extreme attacks, both bodily and mental, demonstrating diverse obstacles they face, such as destitution, social stigma, and prohibited admission to justice, at the same time as additionally emphasizing the ability for lady empowerment. The study strengthens its fundamental evaluation with supporting evidence with the aid of using number one records from the book and secondary statistics from feminist thoughts and different sources. The qualitative method of the study stresses the interplay among faith legitimacy, masculine satisfaction, and ladies’ resiliency. It concludes that Rohila skillfully explores these issues through language, character development, and syntax. Further study on gender dynamics and hierarchy of power would benefit significantly from this work, which deepens our comprehension of the socio-cultural dynamics of feudal civilizations.
