It is clear that the Pakistanis allocated to different groups at war with each other on political, spiritual and sectional issues. The paper sheds light on the main character, Changez for being strong and not being influenced by crucial situations he encountered. Hamid tries to show the real face of American after 9/11 events and how they quickly attribute false propaganda against Muslims. To have one sole national personality is basically inconceivable in such a circumstance, when Pakistan isn't just occupied with war on terrorism but additionally a victim of terror. Individuals truthful to various crowds for the most part separated into dissidents and fundamentalists feel themselves minimized in their own general public. They are looked as 'others' in their own nation. 9/11 changed the picture of the Muslim world into fundamentalists and psychological militants until the end of time. Another fixation on Pakistani authors is the lack of principles, political and holy abuse of normal crowds, cruel assaults, and sectarianism and the subsequent growth of a character’s awareness of his individuality in an estranged social structure. Hamid endeavors to prove identity and explain ambiguity and ambivalence in society of different cultures. He shows love and peace to all people and he rejects all forms of violence. The paper is not about criticizing violence or bigotry. It is about protecting individual rights. Key words: Ambiguity, Ambivalence, fundamentalists, lack of Identity, post 9/11, and Reliability
