Despite being labeled by the English publisher as a 'subversive' work of an Indian writer, the novel has hardly been explored from the aforementioned pigeonholing. Scholars have mainly examined the novel by exploring the recurring themes of nostalgia and loss looking from purely Eastern romantic perspectives influenced by Persian and Urdu literary traditions. This paper attempts to fill a major lacuna in the studies so far undertaken on this novel. Twilight is marked as a debut which spawned the progressive and subversive literature in South Asia. Taking the city of Delhi as a metaphor of socio-cultural resistance against the Farangis and their Raj, the paper will explore that the overwhelming nostalgia and the great sense of loss are subversive in their nature. Also the novel's emphasis on the past glories of the Indo-Muslim civilization bears in itself a deeper meaning of resistance against the British occupation.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Subverting the British Raj: Delhi as a Metaphor of Resistance in Ahmad Ali's Twilight in Delhi (1940","attachmentId":64159406,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/43839688/Subverting_the_British_Raj_Delhi_as_a_Metaphor_of_Resistance_in_Ahmad_Alis_Twilight_in_Delhi_1940","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/43839688/Subverting_the_British_Raj_Delhi_as_a_Metaphor_of_Resistance_in_Ahmad_Alis_Twilight_in_Delhi_1940"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="101128240" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/101128240/Naturalistic_Elements_in_Ahmed_Alis_Novel_Twilight_in_Delhi">Naturalistic Elements in Ahmed Ali's Novel "Twilight in Delhi</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="268039486" href="https://independent.academia.edu/salmahassan186">salma hassan</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Global Regional Review, 2019</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The paper aims at analyzing the novel Twilight in Delhi written by Ahmad Ali in the light of naturalistic elements. Naturalism as literary theory originated in the late 19th century focuses that human actions are controlled and determined by hereditary, fate, environment and other social obligation, thus represents a very grim picture of life. Besides these features, the study has also explored many other features of naturalism in this literary work.by the researcher in the current study through qualitative analysis. The researcher has selected the text which clearly represent such features.

In the novel, the city serves as a canvas for a profound exploration of human experiences. Set against the backdrop of contrasting landscapes of a fictional small town Phansa and the metropolis of Delhi, Khair delves into the complexities of urban life. This article explores the novel's multilinear narrative and geographical settings, which provide readers with an intimate understanding of the characters' mindsets, dreams, and aspirations, shaped by the unique essence of their places of origin. The two central characters in the novel, young journalist Yunus and naïve migrant Sukhbir, exemplify the various facets of Delhi's allure and complexity. This article explores the allure and contradictions of the city, where hope and despair coexist, through the lens of the characters' dreams, despair, and illusions.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Exploring the Multifaceted Realities of Delhi in Tabish Khair's An Angel in Pyjamas","attachmentId":112652279,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116555368/Exploring_the_Multifaceted_Realities_of_Delhi_in_Tabish_Khairs_An_Angel_in_Pyjamas","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/116555368/Exploring_the_Multifaceted_Realities_of_Delhi_in_Tabish_Khairs_An_Angel_in_Pyjamas"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="12697711" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/12697711/A_Critical_Study_of_Decline_of_Muslim_Culture_and_Tradition_through_Characters_with_Different_Perspectives_in_Ahmad_Ali_s_Twilight_in_Delhi">A Critical Study of Decline of Muslim Culture & Tradition through Characters with Different Perspectives in Ahmad Ali’s Twilight in Delhi</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="16382174" href="https://independent.academia.edu/AinoAine">Aino Aine</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Twilight in Delhi is supposed to be a story of a Muslim family lived in Delhi at the beginning of the 20th century. The novel talks about the journey of the family’s fate value and cultural heritage shown through different events. It is a glimpse of history; all kinds of human emotions are discussed here by Ahmed Ali. The novel has many parallel themes, at one stage I encounter the theme of continuity and at another stage I find the writer justifies the theme of change. The themes of change and supremacy of time are the important aspects, with the passage of time the tables are turned and life changes its way without considering any consequences. Current study particularly emphasized on the declination of Muslim culture, through the all major characters with different perspectives.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"A Critical Study of Decline of Muslim Culture \u0026 Tradition through Characters with Different Perspectives in Ahmad Ali’s Twilight in Delhi","attachmentId":37785675,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12697711/A_Critical_Study_of_Decline_of_Muslim_Culture_and_Tradition_through_Characters_with_Different_Perspectives_in_Ahmad_Ali_s_Twilight_in_Delhi","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/12697711/A_Critical_Study_of_Decline_of_Muslim_Culture_and_Tradition_through_Characters_with_Different_Perspectives_in_Ahmad_Ali_s_Twilight_in_Delhi"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="103003226" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/103003226/Colonial_India_in_a_Crusades_Mirror_Fantasy_and_Reality_in_a_Nineteenth_Century_Urdu_Novel">Colonial India in a Crusades Mirror: Fantasy and Reality in a Nineteenth-Century Urdu Novel</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2124922" href="https://aku.academia.edu/ShahzadBashir">Shahzad Bashir</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This article extends Georg Lukács's theorization pertaining to historical fiction by considering a novel written in response to colonial conditions. It treats Abdulhalim Sharar's Urdu Malik al-'Aziz and Virginia (1888) as a case where a fictional version of the encounter between Muslims and Christians during the crusades in the twelfth century is used to counter the colonial Indian present in the nineteenth century. I suggest that novels such as Sharar's exemplify a vein of global thought since the nineteenth century that resisted historicism but without abandoning the notion that the past was real. Deploying a genre that came to the fore in colonial conditions, Sharar imagines an alternative future by narrating the past otherwise via fiction.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Colonial India in a Crusades Mirror: Fantasy and Reality in a Nineteenth-Century Urdu Novel","attachmentId":103125383,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/103003226/Colonial_India_in_a_Crusades_Mirror_Fantasy_and_Reality_in_a_Nineteenth_Century_Urdu_Novel","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/103003226/Colonial_India_in_a_Crusades_Mirror_Fantasy_and_Reality_in_a_Nineteenth_Century_Urdu_Novel"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="67844209" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/67844209/Ahmad_Alis_Progressive_Fiction_Trajectories_of_Tradition_and_Modernity">Ahmad Ali's Progressive Fiction: Trajectories of Tradition and Modernity</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="123951845" href="https://kkkuk.academia.edu/SyedHanifRasool">Dr S H Rasool</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Ahmad Ali, a Pakistani-cum Indian novelist, with his Twilight in Delhi not only pioneers Pakistani novel in English but also sets the foundation of modern South Asian subversive novel in English. Considering Ahmad Ali's realistic fictional depiction of the socio-political aspects of the Muslim society in British India during the first half of the twentieth century, this paper, through the use of close reading, aims to trace trajectories of traditions and modernity in Ali's work to bring a more meaningful reality in an interesting and appealing way to the modern readers. Emphasizing on Ali's realistic portrayal of the changing facets of the Muslim society and the eclectic socio-cultural ethos of the post 1857 India, the paper highlights how Ali's work underpins nostalgic, non-communalist, ant-imperialist, and modernist trends prevailing in the Muslim society of the early twentieth century, establishing the blending of tradition and modernity and past and the future.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Ahmad Ali's Progressive Fiction: Trajectories of Tradition and Modernity","attachmentId":78532549,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/67844209/Ahmad_Alis_Progressive_Fiction_Trajectories_of_Tradition_and_Modernity","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/67844209/Ahmad_Alis_Progressive_Fiction_Trajectories_of_Tradition_and_Modernity"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="20100014" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/20100014/Lahore_Lahore_Hai_Bapsi_Sidhwa_and_Mohsin_Hamid_s_City_Fictions">Lahore Lahore Hai: Bapsi Sidhwa and Mohsin Hamid’s City Fictions</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="111437" href="https://york.academia.edu/ClaireChambers">Claire Chambers</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Postcolonial Urban Outcasts: City Margins in South Asian Literature</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This chapter centres on the city as a simultaneously material and textualized space. It examines the fictional oeuvres of two authors from the Pakistani Punjab, Bapsi Sidhwa and Mohsin Hamid. I argue that their novels represent Lahore as a postcolonial megacity which is crucially important to the nation and the Punjab. I focus on two central loci in the city as depicted in the novels: the red light district (Heera Mandi) and the nearby mosque (Badshahi Masjid). Examining literary representations of the heterogeneous nature of the people who congregate in these two very different areas enables exploration of the metropole/hinterland dynamic in West Punjab. I suggest that Heera Mandi can be read as a microcosm of the city as a whole, and therefore of the Punjab more broadly, just as Lahore may in some ways be read as the nation in miniature. Yet, unsurprisingly, few in Pakistan are willing to recognize the ‘female street’ (Sidhwa 60) of Heera Mandi as a touchstone for the Fatherland (Saeed vii). In the red light district binaries are broken down, given the professed religiosity of many of the area’s ‘urban outcasts’: Shi’a sex workers. The authors’ representations of the heterogeneous nature of the people who congregate in the two very different areas of red light district and mosque allow them to explore the metropole/hinterland dynamic.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Lahore Lahore Hai: Bapsi Sidhwa and Mohsin Hamid’s City Fictions","attachmentId":41006945,"attachmentType":"docx","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/20100014/Lahore_Lahore_Hai_Bapsi_Sidhwa_and_Mohsin_Hamid_s_City_Fictions","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/20100014/Lahore_Lahore_Hai_Bapsi_Sidhwa_and_Mohsin_Hamid_s_City_Fictions"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="102779269" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/102779269/APPROACHING_ABHAY_KS_THE_SEDUCTION_OF_DELHI_A_STUDY_OF_MAJOR_THEMES">APPROACHING ABHAY K'S THE SEDUCTION OF DELHI: A STUDY OF MAJOR THEMES</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="64232953" href="https://jnu.academia.edu/SapnaDogra">Dr Sapna Dogra</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">New Academia: An International Journal of English Language and Literary Theory.

As a passive lover of Delhi, he watches its ruins helplessly witnessing the dirt, darkness and duplicity of this city of emperors, poets, invaders and merchants.
