In A Village Divided by Rahi Masoom Reza the people of the village represent a smaller and somewhat parallel version of what is happening between the countries of India and Pakistan. The people of the north end, Uttar Patti, were constantly competing and fighting with the people of the south end, Dakkhin Patti to prove that they were better than the other side. The village’s life is very similar to the people of India and Pakistan who were fighting each other because of their religious differences. The people of the village were competing to prove that their end is better than the other’s end, but the fight between the countries was about the differences between their religions rather than who is better than whom because of what they have.
