One Segment of Novel Fitnah by M.A.Hussain

Fitnah is a political novel written and published in 1994 in the backdrop of Pakistan sponsored secessionist
insurgency in Kashmir, state of India. It was written after I renounced Islam in the year 1973. It
is the result of what psychologist Maslow calls peak experience, a kind of intellectual
orgasm, a kind of new vision that was burdened with scientism, rationalism, historicism,
Marxist intellectual traditions and the like.

The novel is a collage of narratives, and non-narratives divided into four chapters. Each
chapter has three segments, each segment having some sort of continuity with one of the
segments of the other chapters.

I have juxtaposed different elements of the novel with each other in time and space to create
discontinuities. Four segments of the novel, one each in every chapter, are non-narratives and
comprise of personal notes, dairy and write-ups of one of the characters. These segments
follow a “rhetorical style.”
