The dynamics of society as portrayed in Singh's Voice of God.

"Sultana's Dream," in portraying an idyllic all-female society, criticizes male power structures, including political, religious, and social institutions that were all male-dominated at the time of the story's composition. Religion in Ladyland, for example, is focused on love and truth, which implies that religion in "regular"—patriarchal—society is the opposite, and fails to embody these values. The explicit mention of certain items, such as the Koh-i-Noor and the Peacock Throne, make the story's criticism even more explicit, as they overtly reference the Mughal dynasty and condemn the Mughal empire's focus on extravagant riches and military warfare.
