Maps For Lost Lovers
by Nadeem Aslam
Maps of lost lovers (4/12/2011)
Aslam expressed the complexities of religion, and culture in a very fascinating manner. How our customs contaminate our perspectives and judgment and make us so malicious. Chanda's brothers killed Jugnu and Chanda because they were living in a relationship without being married to each other and that is against Islam law. But look at the irony that brothers found justice to their by brutally killing them and saving the honor of their family!

Aslam explained in this devastating love story of how customs, culture, and religion seals one's ability of true judgment, these boundaries cripples one's reasons and logic because it is prohibited and people are scared to be cast out.
