A very enjoyable story and quite educational as well. I was a little confused at first as to whether your protagonist was a muslim or a hindu but it soon became clear. The use of language was creative and instructive and you introduced words that I had never come across, but because of the way you have arranged the text I found it easy to at least make a good guess as to what the words meant or pertained to. I like that the story has a good moral theme running through it, though, (just my opinion) I do prefer a hero/ine that is flawed. But, as I said, that is my personal opinion and not to be taken as a criticism x.
