Abstract Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini’s debut book is titled The Kite Runner. His first book amazed readers with the multiple phases his protagonist goes through in an attempt to win them around to his cause following a previous sin. The protagonist, Amir, has experiences with life in many geographical settings both as an adult in the US and as a child in Afghanistan. Living amid two different cultures takes the character through multiple stages in life. It is Sohrab, who becomes the deciding factor of Amir’s inner and outer life that Amir is struggling with. The tension in the novels increases with the rape of Hassan and later with the Taliban regime and the invasion of Russian troops in Afghanistan that acts as terrorism. The victim is not only the minor community the ‘Hazaras’ but also the ‘Pashtuns’. The paper focuses on the characters who are on the periphery and working as a catalyst in the construction of the plot. They provide the post-colonial intellectuals with perseverance, support, and opposition against the prevailing powers, which makes them indispensable.
