Abstract
This article examines how contemporary women writers from South Asia are challenging traditional historical narratives by excavating and reconstructing silenced feminine perspectives, with a focus on The Miraculous True History of Nomi Ali (2019) by Uzma Aslam Khan. Employing Linda Hutcheon’s theory of historiographic metafiction, the study analyzes Khan’s narrative strategies in reimagining colonial history through a feminist lens. The study argues that Khan’s work resurrects neglected historical narratives and enhances readers’ historical awareness by inviting critical engagement with the construction of historical knowledge. By skillfully interweaving fact and fiction, Khan expands the boundaries of traditional historiography, incorporating postmodern dimensions into her exploration of political and historical themes. The study demonstrates how Khan’s novel gives voice to subaltern experiences, particularly those of women within the context of South Asian colonial history, challenges dominant discourses, and fosters a more complex historical consciousness.
