That it does so without espousing (支持，赞成)any one shade of opinion makes Aangan a politically sensitive and not a political novel (即提出了很多政治因素，观点，但是作者的态度是很中立的，没有评价和表态这些观点). Khadija Mastur deals with the theme of the Freedom Movement, not from the perspective of men but from the point of view of the women whose lives were changed radically by the decisions made by men in the public arena. It is a powerful novel built around female protagonists (主角)and the ways in which they mediate their space in society while condemned to the enclosed world of the inner courtyard, enmeshed in (使陷入)and sustained by strong familial ties and age-old customs.
