Abstract
The formation of literary characters in fiction reflects our social attitudes. Bano Qudsia's novel Raja Gidh has customization in that the author has presented most of the masculine characters. Qayyum is the narrator of the story. However, the author has described the character of Aftab as an ideal masculine character. The ideal masculine qualities in male characters must include bravery, excellent dialogue delivery, physical movements, control of emotions, and the presence of judgment. Apart from Aftab's character, the main characters of the novel lack these features. Later on Aftab, s character also becomes contradictory in this regard. This article examines all the main characters of the novel in the context of ideal masculinity and seeks to determine how the lack of these characteristics shakes the personality of these characters.
