Abstract

This research is an explorative study of the novel The Wandering Falcon written by Jamil Ahmad (2011). The aim of the paper is to draw the attention of the powerful elite towards the alarming effects of the unfair laws in promoting gender inequality. The text has been analyzed through the lens of post-colonialism to explore the role of unfair laws, exercised over the women of tribal region, in the context of erstwhile FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) Pakistan. Close reading technique has been used for data analysis to dig out the deeper meanings. The findings of the study explain that the set of laws (FCR) had gaps and was apparently biased. It is concluded that FCR, implemented in the erstwhile Fata by the British, had treated tribal women with discrimination, resulting in gender inequality.
