Well, in a joint family novel, one of the main characteristics is the complex web of relationships. There are multiple generations living together, like grandparents, parents, and children, sometimes even extended family members. This often leads to a rich tapestry of stories involving family traditions, power dynamics, and conflicts. For example, in some joint family novels, the eldest in the family might have a say in all major decisions, which can cause friction with the younger generations who have different ideas.
One common theme is family honor. In joint family based Urdu novels, the family's reputation is often of utmost importance. Characters will go to great lengths to protect it. For example, in many stories, a young girl's behavior might be strictly monitored to uphold the family's honor.
One great joint family based Urdu novel is 'Godaan' by Munshi Premchand. It delves deep into the social fabric of a joint family in rural India, which has similarities to joint family setups in Urdu -speaking regions. The characters' relationships, their joys, sorrows, and the power dynamics within the family are beautifully portrayed.
One common theme is family values. These novels often explore how values like respect for elders, loyalty within the family, and the importance of family honor are maintained in a joint family setup. For example, how younger members are taught to respect the decisions of the elders.
A joint family consisted of three generations. The grandparents had grown up in a different era and taught the values of hard work and respect to the younger ones. The family had a tradition of having a big dinner every Sunday. During these dinners, they would discuss the week's events, plan for the future, and sometimes even have friendly debates. One time, the family decided to renovate their old house. Everyone participated, from the young children helping with small tasks to the adults handling the major construction work. It was a story of unity and togetherness in a joint family.
In a joint family story, financial management can be a real challenge. With more people, there are more expenses and different ideas about how to spend money. Some might want to save for the future while others are more interested in immediate comforts. Also, there can be conflicts over space. With limited rooms and a large number of family members, disputes can arise over who gets which room or how to use the common areas.
Well, 'Rang-e-Chadar' is an Urdu novel that delves into the joint family system. It shows how different generations coexist, their conflicts, and the traditions that bind them together. The story often revolves around family values, inheritance, and the power dynamics within the joint family. Also, 'Aag Ka Darya' in its Urdu translations can be considered as it touches on family units, including joint families, and how they are affected by historical and social changes.
