Abstract
This article deals with cosmopolitanism, one of the postmodern novelistic techniques employed by Mustansar Hussain Tarar in one of his most debated novels, Raakh. This particular novel is fundamentally a histographic analysis of Pakistani society and it also debates cosmopolitan influences on a society that gets liberation from the western imperialism. The postmodem narrative employed in this novel, epitomizes failure of pre-partition theological construct. An objective-less human psyche that had unquestionable interpretations of a faith, led them to a new geographical state: had been deciphering intangible sociopolitical and cultural narrative. This novel encompasses a wide range of human characters and events that reshaped the ideological bindings of Pakistani society.
