Abstract

This paper examines Nadeem Aslam’s novel “The Blind Man’s Garden”and highlights “Non-Violence Strategies to counter Terrorism alluding Nadeem Aslam’s novel.” The novel fictionalizes the tale of ordinary people and the domain of war in the Pakistan and Afghanistan.Dominant Characters in the novel acted as non-violently where as the novel is full of violence. Therefore, this thesis investigates into how and how these characters act non-violently in the face of violence, and what is its insignificance in the wake of war/terror and peace. No significant research has been carried on the subject at present, especially in relation to The Blind Man’s Garden. The thesis is essentially qualitative in nature. The analysis of the passages is done through Textual analysis of Stuart Hall. However George Lakey theory is mainly adopted.
