Foregrounding the literature as a vehicle of social regeneration and as a medium of awakening a social sensibility, the present paper, studies the works of Khaled Hosseini. The three of his novels selected for the study present a socio-political set-up of Afghanistan. The paper will analyze his novels depicting the harsh realities of war, fundamentalism of Taliban, social injustice, loss of human lives, the suffering of those who are alive and ultimately, love and companionship that conquers all. Hosseini has portrayed love as a bond developing between the social victims that help them survive the cruelties of the times. The paper will critically scrutinize the inherent socio-cultural tribulations in the human fate that come to the fore through the writings of Hosseini. It will also delve deep into the ways in which humans suffer and how Hosseini has stimulated a social consciousness and sensibility through his work.
