This article aims at psychological study of Josh Malihabadi's autobiography Yadon ki Barat (procession of memories), a book that has aroused a lot of controversies among literary critics of Urdu since its publication in 1970. It has been asserted that though autobiography is an art of narrating old and cherished memories of oneself, a new image of self is constructed by overlapping of two subjectivities i.e., a narrator subject and a narrated subject. Opposing features of Josh's personality are interpreted in Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective affirming that on the surface, Josh denies religious beliefs but at the deeper level of psyche he avows his Muslim cultural and national identity.
