Alakh Nagri is part 2 of Alipur Ka Ailee
Alipur Ka Ailee ends on migration, AlakNagri starts from there; Mumtaz Mufti is migrating to Pakistan and he reached safely, You will find several books on Indo Pak partition but the way Mumtaz Mufti wrote it that reader will feel that he is not reading it, infact he is also present there and experiencing all this.
I would say that it is the best book to describe our history, it describes scenarios of migration and camps in extremely impressive way, and the most interesting part is Allocation of houses, how materialistic and greedy we are that we cannot feel the pain of our own brothers and sisters that how they are migrating, what problems they are facing, and what we are doing here, showing fake documents to prove we are migrated...........
After covering migration, novel went to camps arranged for migrated people, there he met Ashfaq Ahmed, and than the story starts that how they became friends, what is personality of Ashfaq Ahmed, how Mumtaz Mufti saw his different personalities, in gatherings Ashfaq Ahmed is energetic, but at home he is lonely and quiet, than what is going inside him, how he is hiding his feelings, his emotions, his sadness, reason of sadness etc, than how he met Bano Qudsia.
The touching point here is expression of feelings and Love; a love of 9 year old Ashfaq Ahmed with her cousin, and when Mumtaz laughed that 9 year old is not age of love, Ashfaq said " 9 YEAR OLD IS EXACT AGE OF LOVE, AFTER THIS YOU WILL ONLY CLOSE DOOR"
Zoobi an artist who is not that much rich initialy and used to drink, Mumtaz asked from where you mange to get this, A REPLY THAT SHOWS VERY CLOSE CONNECTION WITH GOD, ZOOBI POINTED HIS FINGER ABOVE AND SAID HE USED TO GIVE ME, Mumtaz said but he does not allow this how can he give, Zoobi said I ASK HIM LIKE A CRYING CHILD THAN HE GIVES ME
Ahmed Bashir's story is also beautifully written how he was stuck in mumbai; how he came to Pakistan,w hat happened in train, what he did after coming Pakistan, how enthusiastic he was fro film making, Qudrat sent him for Film making course on scholarship, how he made film, what happened then.
Than novel moves to Mumtaz Mufti professional problems, what are the problems he is facing, what are the reasons behind them, how he met Qudrat Ullah Shahab, how Qudrat helped him, and how they came closer.
Beauty of novel is the theme of it, that human mind in limited, we can see limited things we cannot see what is behind wall, similarly we cannot think beyond certain limited. we cannot understand certain things which are beyond human mind. There are many worlds in this universe, we are doing things here, but they are decided in some other world, what is the purpose of my birth, it is decided somewhere else and things move accordingly, Mumtaz Mufti had to perform certain duties in Pindi, that is why he got problems in his job and was transfer to Pindi. Qudrat was on certain duty from FORCES BEYOND. If you read SHAHAB NAMA aand you reading it from first chapter and when you will reach at NINTY K NAAM, you will get confused that what it is??? The answer lies here in ALAKH NAGRI, and the answer is FORCES BEYOND.
The beautiful description of limitations of human body is described by Qudrat; when he was busy in prayers and got heart attack, Mumtaz Mufti was with him and he asked what was the reason of this sudden heart attack and BEAUTIFUL REPLY OF QUDRAT " WHEN YOU PUT MORE WATER IN A GLASS,THAT GLASS GETS FILLED AND YOU KEEP ON POURING WATER, WHAT WILL HAPPEN THAN???"
Two beautiful characters of this novel are MISS ATTIYA, a women who can judge future, and Ghaffor Sahab, who is also close to Allah and can judge future.
The other impressive thing here is that Qudrat has a believe that when you are trying to be pure and to be in the right path, evil forces attacks you, which can be in any form, may be in form of women; which Qudrat used to say BATS; they are bats who attacks you........
Two heart touching lines are i felt are
I would say that this book is a complete history, message for life, a visionary book, to make you understand whatever happens, happens for good, and everything is preplanned..........

Two heart touching lines are i felt are
- Getting angry on any one else mistake means you ae giving punsighment to yourself for other's mistake
- Mumtaz visited homeopathic doctor who was very famous for his expertise but he himself was having several health issues, Mumtaz asked Qudrat "isn't is amazing that a famous doctor cannot treat himself; and Qudrat said IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE WILL HAVE HEALTH ISSUES, SO THAT HE WILL NOT FORGET THAT HE IS NOT WHO IS GIVING HEALTH TO PATIENTS, HEALTH IS NOT IN HIS HANDS"
I would say that this book is a complete history, message for life, a visionary book, to make you understand whatever happens, happens for good, and everything is preplanned..........
