Feroza‟s guardians feel that she should go to the USA, a nation of opportunity and advancement, as “Travel will expand her viewpoint; get this rigid trash off of her mind” (14). Manek, Zareen‟s more youthful sibling who learns at MIT, assumes the liability to care for her. The Parsees feel awkward with the authoritative monoculture of the Islamic radicalism in the postcolonial Pakistan. Zareen reviews her youth days when the general public of Pakistan, at that point the Indian subcontinent, was multicultural and lenient enough to concede them uniqueness and decision.
