Khudkushi Nama

Among the questions that bother the reader the most after reading 'Khudkushi Nama' is the issue of determining suicide and murder. The incidents of suicide recorded in different chapters of the novel, were they really suicide or were they be ordered to kill? This is the question that keeps the reader of this novel restless for a long time. Killing daughters-in-law by burning and then giving it the title of suicide is in the level of murder, but due to the pressure and panic of the society, those who leave this world quietly through the door of suicide. Will not be called the victim? The system where the farmer is forced to mortgage everything and then one day he has to hang himself from a branch of a tree by the neck, should this system not be declared a murderer and the farmer a victim?This tragedy of murder versus suicide darkens the end of the novel when the main character, Talib, is killed by a mob, with a note from his pocket being declared a suicide. As if in this novel, the murders one after the other kept sliding down the suicide line.Most of the suicides in our society are, at one level or another, under the order of murder. Society, morals, relationships, honor and countless other factors push many people in this direction, where they feel that the only way to get rid of all the troubles is to be free from this life. In such a situation, it is very difficult to put all the blame on the shoulders of the person who commits suicide and to blame those 'social nuances and pressures', on whose hands a little blood of the deceased is clearly visible.
