Description: Aasman Mahal evokes other stories of a decaying aristocracy like Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard set in Russia and Lampedusa's The Leopard set in Sicily and Premchand's Shatranj Ke Khilari set in Lucknow. The Nawab refuses to sell his property and clings on to his old-fashioned ideals of nobility.
