Political/Social motivations for the narrative style of "The Quilt"

Isn't it interesting that Chughtai chooses to write "The Quilt" from a child's perspective? It's almost as though she knew that her story would cause controversy and designed the narrative to hold up against conservative criticisms. It seems clear that Chughtai knew precisely what she was describing in the story - what else would have motivated her to write it in the first place? She must have had so much fun formulating creative ways to depict lesbian sexuality, especially under the guise of a sexually innocent child. Assuming that Chughtai deliberately wrote in this manner to avoid censorship, we must realize that by writing "The Quilt" she is showing her contemporaries in society that homosexuals exist, that their voices are often stifled, and their preferences hidden. Whether Chughtai is a homosexual daring to share her perspective with a biased society, an ally of homosexuals, or just a creative author, she shows bravery and boldness through the publication of this short story.
