Weeping Wounds & Silent Desires Zafar H Khan

A great deal has been written on Love, Friendship, Culture and Tradition and in numerous ways has been portrayed in the form of film and drama. Weeping wounds and Silent desires contains all those sentiments and much more. A very gripping and powerful theme, it has all the ingredients of life, Destiny, the unknown. It gives the reader a clear insight of South Asians living in Britain in the 21't Century, where technology has progressed but it has also taken its toll on society on the whole. The people of South Asia left everything behind when they migrated in search of a better future. They left everything except their honour, pride, dignity and cultural beliefs. These they held very dearly and against all odds have tried in every way to inject their children with these values. Juggling with multiple cultures, the children born in Britain have shown great strength but also weaknesses when dealing with the uphill struggle of both cultures. No matter where they settled they had to follow certain traditions and morals; it was something very deeply rooted within them.
