Answer:

Introduction

Lihaf is an Urdu short story that made Ismat Chughtai popular for its controversies. Because it was branded as a feminist work (feminism – not attacking men but the social structures. It also involves the freedom to express ‘sexuality’ which is not right according to society) and was banned.

Terrifying Memory

The story is a ‘terrifying’ memory of an unnamed narrator that happened during her childhood. The memory pops up when she takes the quilt to cover herself in the winter.

When other girls were engaged in ‘girly’ games, the narrator was engaged in fighting with her brothers and her brother’s friends (with the opposite sex). Once when her mother went to Agra, she was left with her mother’s adopted sister- Begum Jaan’s house.

Yearning for Love

She spent sleepless nights ‘yearning for a love that had never been’. This is the feeling of every girl who is newly married yet her desires were never fulfilled by her husband that she wanted to gratify her wishes by other means.

Begum was gaining the glow that she lost. The little girl really fell in love with her ‘fascinated by her looks’. To Begum massage became ‘the basic necessities of life’

Rabbu Returned Back

Soon Rabbu returned. The little girl could not stay there any longer. She preferred the company of maids as she was terrified of Begum.
