Parajay

Parajay is a novel by Krishan Chander, one of the best-known storytellers in Urdu and Hindi fiction. The book is a story of love that does not succeed, and it is built around a gentle, tender-hearted young woman from Kashmir.

Her love ends in failure, and the novel follows that loss with emotional weight. It is meant to leave a deep mark on readers, and its title, which means defeat, points to where the story is heading.
