Raja Gidh (Urdu: راجه گدھ‎) by Bano Qudsia is an Urdu novel. Gidh is the Urdu word for a vulture and Raja is a Hindi synonym for king. The name anticipates the kingdom of vultures. In fact, parallel to the main plot of the novel, an allegorical story of such a kingdom is narrated.The metaphor of the vulture as an animal feeding mostly on the carcasses of dead animals is employed to portray the trespassing of ethical limits imposed by the society or by the religion.

Hailing from an upper-middle-class family, Seemi Shah falls in love with her handsome classmate Aftab in the MA Sociology class at Government College Lahore.Seemi is a modern and attractive urban girl and attracts most of her male class fellows, including the narrator Qayyum and the young liberal professor Suhail. Aftab belongs to a Kashmiri business family.

The novel then takes on touching several moral and ethical issues, beyond the love triangle plot, depicted through the rich culture and everyday life of Lahore.

“paagalpan hamesha naa asoodah arzoo sy payda hota hai- Bano Qudsia”

― Bano Qudsia

“یہ تعلق چیز ہی ایسی ہے. انسان کو بھگل کردیتا ہے. ...صوفیا تو کہتے ہیں کہ رستے کا سب سے بڑا حجاب ہی تعلق ہے.نہ تعلق سے دل خالی ہوتا ہے، نہ اصلی قرار دل میں آتا ہے. معمولی سے مہمان کے لئے کمرہ خالی کرنا پڑتا ہے. پھر اوپر والے کے لئے تو چھوٹا سا بت بھی اندر رہ جاۓ تو اسکی سواری نہیں اترتی”

― Bano Qudsia

“Mohabat ki khatir to admi suli charta rahe, marta rahe, khapta rahe, par kisi ki ana ko mota karne k liye koi kab tak apni jaan mare?”
