    CC 5 PG SEM-II TRAIN TO PAKISTAN- FILM AND LITERATURE Text Link: - http://punjabilibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Train-To-Pakistan_Punjabi- Library.pdf? Film Link: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3kUSLdKzU4 Train to Pakistan tells the story of imaginary Mano Majra, a small village town. Train to Pakistan film, an adaptation from Khushwant Singh's 1956 classic novel by the same name set in the Partition of India of 1947 and directed by Pamela Rooks was released in 1998. The film stars Nirmal Pandey, Rajit Kapur, Mohan Agashe, Smriti Mishra, Mangal Dhillon and Divya Dutta. Plot Analysis Train to Pakistan is a harrowing tale of a country divided by religious and political differences. The narrative takes place during the historic Partition of India in the summer of 1947, which is considered one of the bloodiest times in the country’s history. This division of India into two separate states caused a nationwide resettlement, thus dividing the previously single country into a Hindu India and a Muslim Pakistan, with devastating results. With the division of the country on the basis of belief systems, Singh’s narrative marks how entire families were made to abandon their lives and uproot themselves to re-align their lives based on religious allegiance to ensure safety and survival. The resettlement, however, was anything but safe and secure for those caught up in the ensuing violence. Trying to quickly avoid the oncoming troubles, people fled on foot, cart and train. Yet as these refugees attempted to flee the violence, they often became caught up in sanctioning violence themselves or were the victims of violence as Hindus and Muslims fought all over the country.

Told in an absorbing fashion, the vast historical epic follows the life of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the hugely important but often-misrepresented world leader. The response to the initial Press screening was so positive, that the Distributor, Asiangold Ltd., has scaled the DVD release nationally in order to make the film available to a larger, more diverse audience Kicking off with a personal appearance and signing by Christopher Lee at London’s Harrods on Oct. 5th, the DVD will be available through HMV, Virgin, Choices, MVC, and most High Street retailers in addition to Asian superstore Moviebox, and online at www.cdguru.com. ‘We increased the breadth of distribution as we believe the film will appeal not only to those interested in the history of Pakistan, but to all fans of Mr. Lee, who believes it is the most important film he has made.’ commented Asiangold Sales Manager, Mitul Raja About The DVD: The film opens shortly after partition in 1947 with a dying Jinnah being rushed to hospital. In an unusual twist, Jinnah awakens in a computer room, where a decision on his eternal soul will be made.

This visibility is based on, and has produced, a transnational circuit of representations of Pakistan. Pakistan is either condemned as an exceptional failure of the nation-state, or redeemed through exceptional nationalist figures of courage and resistance. Such representations have material consequences for Pakistanis, including elisions between anti-state struggles due to injustice and inequality, sectarian violence, and transnational war machines based in Pakistan. This dissertation explores the transnational politics of class, gender, and sexuality of these representations. The tropes deployed by these narrations attempt to manage an epistemological, emotional, and material excess of lives that cannot be contained by the categorical structure of the Pakistani nation-state. ii I analyze the 2012 film “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” by Mira Nair, based on Mohsin Hamid’s 2007 novel; the 1998 film, “Jinnah,” by Jamil Dehlavi; and the 2008 novel, A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

  • Chapter Two R
    Chapter Two R. K. Narayan: My Days and Khushwant Singh: Truth, Love and a Little Malice • Chapter II (i) R. K. Narayan: My Days, (ii) Khushwant Singh: Truth, Love and a Little Malice The present chapter discusses the autobiographies of those writers who made a mark on the literary scene of India which, in some ways, is of basic significance. They are R. K. Narayan and Khushwant Singh. They come from two different states of India. There is a lot of difference in their background, their financial condition, their environment and the way they were brought up. It will be interesting to see the journey of these two in the world of letters and thought as depicted in their autobiographies. R. K.Narayan: My Days R. K. Narayan is that name without which the history of Indian English literature cannot be complete. Narayan was among the famous trio of Indian English fiction, the other two being Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand. Everybody, who has read his novels or has seen the television serial, Malgudi Days based on Narayan's celebrated book Swami and Friends is enchanted by Narayan's brilliant powers of minute observation, skill of sketching characters, use of lucid language and the way he has created a tiny piece of India in his celebrated imaginary town of 'Malgudi'. He uses conventional style of writing and it is deceptively simple. It is like the traditional story teller. However, in his writing, a comic and sarcastic surface exists above deeply serious depths. His autobiography is no exception to it.
