Afghanistan has undergone significant changes in a limited time period due to wars. These wars have caused swift paced developments and long-lasting impacts on the Afghan society.  Hosseini has portrayed these impacts of war on Afghan society in his fictional works. His novels The Kite Runner (2003), A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007) & And the Mountains Echoed (2013) represent the post-war social change in Afghanistan. The researcher tends to explore the Dramatic Social Change in his novels. This is a qualitative study employing the theory of Dramatic Social Change by Sablonniere (2017) as theoretical framework.
