In 1997, he penned down Balochi short stories, after some times he begun writing novel: his novel book” Danze Hosthi Bal Enth”,is one of the painful book,since it is based on major and serious issues of our society.

The male character, Balach , who had a beautiful wife namely Maheen, still his mother wanted to marry him with another girl; the reason was that Balach’s wife, Maheen,did not have children ,due to this his mother wanted to marry him again.But Maheen was not aware about his second marriage and Balach was not happy with that marriage. likewise, the days and months were passing. Suddenly, Maheen became aware and left the home went to his father’s home.

When Balach became aware that Maheen had left the home,then the sky had fallen on him. As he went to Maheen and requested her to come back ,but she refused. He told the reason that why he married; his mother gave promise to him ,he became compel to marry Sara.

Story completely changed, Maheen got pregnant when Balach listened, he felt glad. When she birthed a boy child,who was named Noodqureed . When Balach listened that news he came at hospital .Balach again requested Maheen to be backed, but as usual she refused.

However, a couple of years passed, Noodqureed was the age of thirteen, his mother worked and sewed clothes, got busy. Noodqureed went with young boys all days ,was with them. likewise,they hoodwinked him ,they raped him that day his life became completely changed ,he was small ,he didn’t know what they had done with him but he was sure that they did wrong with him when he grew bigger; he wanted to stop that, what had done with him that action could not be done with his society members but no one believed him,and did not give value to him. But still he did not leave it, he thrilled.

He said to everyone not to send your children in madras. When mullas listened so they told others to kill him. Noodger left home and went in Karachi, but he didn’t stop ,he struggled to prevent these bad activities what other did with him. The author outstandingly narrated the hidden cruelties of the mullas. The innocent children are being sexually abused,tortured and even killed by them. I recommend the readers to read the book once to be aware about the negative act of the elders.
