In this paper, I have tried to explore the situation of 19th
century women of colonial India, through the first Urdu
novel- Islahun-Nisa by a female writer Rasheedun – Nisa.
On contrary to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and other
contemporary male reformists, she advocated women’s
education and opposed customary rituals of her time. She
also spoke for women’s reforms, (the literal meanings of
Islahun-Nisa) but did not suggest the segregation of women
from society as her male contemporary reformists tried to
pose. She has linked all superstitions of her time with lack
of education. She has knitted her concepts of modernity and
education in the story of novel like a master craft person.
