ABSTRACT Landscaping India investigates the use of landscapes in colonial and anti-colonial representations of India from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth centuries. It examines literary and cultural texts in addition to, and along with, “non-literary” documents such as departmental and census reports published by the British Indian government, popular geography texts and text-books, travel guides, private journals, and newspaper reportage to develop a wider interpretative context for literary and cultural analysis of colonialism in South Asia. Drawing of materialist theorizations of “landscape” developed in the disciplines of geography, literary and cultural studies, and art history, Landscaping India examines the colonial landscape as a product of colonial hegemony, as well as a process of constructing, maintaining and challenging it. In so doing, it illuminates the conditions of possibility for, and the historico-geographical processes that structure, the production of the Indian nation.

  • Rethinking Subalternity of the Rural Women of Sindh: a Historical Approach
    RETHINKING SUBALTERNITY OF THE RURAL WOMEN OF SINDH: A HISTORICAL APPROACH Sabah Zeb* Dr. Komal Ansari† Dr. Sumera Umrani‡ Dr. Zareen Khan Rind§ Abstract To re-conceptualize the process of construction of subordination in the lives of the women of rural Sindh, this paper analyses two contemporary stories (both fictional and real stories) of the women with reference to the history of Sindh. These stories represent the women as second sex who willingly or unwillingly subordinate to the male dominated society. To reconsider the power-politics working behind the women subordination, this study takes support from Guha and Spivakian subaltern-based theoretical argumentations as a framework. Following textual analysis, this study applies close reading method to analyse the issue of subalternity. Finally, the paper finds gender, age, class, culture, and law as some eminent factors cause subalternity in the lives of the selected rural women of Sindh. This study further argues that the issue of subalternity is constructed/developed due to assimilation, domestic colonialism, and baseless power-structure in rural areas of Sindh. Keyword: Subaltern studies, Pakistani context, rural Sindh, The Daughters of Aai. INTRODUCTION Women in rural areas of Sindh have been marginalized since ages (Zaib, 2017). Their marginalization and gender discrimination have been analysed by several scholars, researchers, thinkers, and activists in the light of numerous critical theories particularly * Visiting Faculty Assistant, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. † Associate Professor, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. ‡ Associate Professor, IELL, University of Sindh, Jamshoro. § Assistant Professor, Abida Taherani SDSC, University of Sindh, Jamshoro.

    Abstract The present thesis examines the postcolonial content in the select plays of Badal Sircar thematically as well as technically. Badal Sircar was a renowned first- generation Bengali dramatist of post-colonial India. His career as a literary genius covers more than half a century. He started writing plays in the early 1950s which continued till the first decade of the twenty-first century. The range of his creative writings is versatile and he wrote more than fifty five plays on diverse themes. He directed plays and wrote a novel as well. Badal Sircar was a civil engineer by profession. He used to do theatre as an amateur artist but in 1977 while working with Calcutta Metropolitan Planning Organisation and the Comprehensive Area Development Corporation, he came in contact with rural India. The pitiable condition of farmers and their causes forced Sircar to resign from his job in order to dedicate his entire time to theatre. He developed his own theatre technique called ‘The Third Theatre’ so that he could formulate an inexpensive and portable theatre form which could reach the common masses to make them aware of the injustices they are subjected to and create in them a sense of responsibility in order to bring about a revolutionary change in society. The present thesis consists of seven chapters including the Introduction and Conclusion. Four plays of Badal Sircar have been analysed from the postcolonial perspective in this study. The first chapter “The Origin and Development of Indian Drama and Badal Sircar” deals with the divine origin of drama from the Vedas as described by Sage Bharata in his The Natyasastra.
