Keith Booker Dissertation Director __________________________ _______________________ Dr. Les Wade Dr. Susan Marren Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This dissertation analyzes Pakistani and Indian plays that illustrate the nexus of power relations that operate in Pakistan and India to disempower women and the way women resist by creating dialogic spaces or fissures in the exploitative system. I have selected plays by Ajoka Theater in Pakistan and plays dealing with the similar thematic concerns by notable Indian playwrights to explore common grounds and points of departure. I have chosen four images of women depicting diverse modes of oppression associated with women’s bodies that are dealt with in these plays. Chapter 1 will examine Barri/The Acquittal by Ajoka theater, and Mother of 1084 by Mahaswata Devi, depicting women as victims of state violence during their incarceration. While chapter 2 underscores the issue of women trafficking and commodification of their bodies as a form of modern day slavery. I argue that women’s bodies are harnessed and controlled by patriarchal forces that coalesce with capitalist system. When their voices remain unheard, the female protagonists in the plays, Dukhini by Ajoka, Kamla by Vijay Tendulkar, and Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan, chronicle their resistance through their bodies in distinct ways. While chapter 3 examines that female agency in Pakistan and India is either negotiated through motherhood or through an absence of motherhood. The figure of the mother without child in these plays ranges from the harrowing circumstances of a woman who loses or relinquishes custody of a biological child (Bayen) to the traumatic state of a woman who miscarries/ undergoes an abortion (Barri/The Acquittal and Silence!) or one who never becomes pregnant (Kala Meda Bhes/ Black is my Robe). Chapter 4 illustrates the perception of performing or dancing women as the cultural or societal Other in Pakistan and India. My major objective is to illustrate changes in ideological discourses concerning this issue as the societies along both sides of the border developed after independence. I have examined Tripurari Sharma’s Azizun Nisa and Ajoka Theater’s Aik Thee Nani/ A Granny for All Seasons to elaborate this theme. While evaluating the dramatic techniques, themes and female protagonists of the plays, I have used feminist critical perspectives, also keeping in view, feminist theater traditions. Thus, the dramatic texts included in this study, explain the power relations and female subjectivity in Pakistani and Indian societies, and reveal the way women employ subtle and overt ways of resistance and attempt to subvert the power structure. ©2015 by Sobia Mubarak Table of Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………............................ 1 Chapter 1……………………………………………………………………………………….29 Chapter 2……………………………………………………………………………………….75 Chapter 3 ……………………………………………………………………………………111 Chapter4………………………………………………………………………………………151 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………193 Works Cited…………………………………………………………………………………...199 1 Introduction It’s all right, daughter, after all we are prisoners, even prisoners of laughter and merrymaking, why do you bother with them? I remember my father used to stop us from laughing at home, he said that the angels of goodness turn away from a house where they hear the sound of young girls laughing and satan enters the house instead. (Barri/The Acquittal, 70) I am Fatima. The bastard, Bachoo, the pimp, locked me in and has gone looking for customers. I have come by jumping the wall. (Dukhini/Woman of Sorrow, 197) Look. Ditta needs a woman badly and you need an ox equally badly. If you let go of one wife and give her to Ditta, he will be too happy to exchange her with his ox. (Kala Meda Bhes/Black is my Robe, 168) It is all right by your culture if boys sing and dance. What is wrong with girls doing the same? Why are you people such hypocrites? (Aik Thi Nani/ A Granny for All Seasons, 134) I begin this dissertation with these images that reflect the institutional power relations that characterize and circumscribe the lives of women in Pakistan and India. These dramatic images elucidate with piquancy the edifice of the world which is supported by inegalitarian structures, and in Mohanty’s words, “a world transversed with intersecting lines of power and resistance” (Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism 2). This dissertation is an attempt at examining plays by Ajoka theater and some Indian playwrights that highlight the ‘politics of the female body,’ also demonstrating the way disenfranchised women take control of their bodies and resist oppression. Women are incarcerated, sold out as commodities, bartered and displaced for being and not- being mothers, and are calumniated for being performers in Pakistan and India, and the 2 texts I have chosen to examine, portray these images powerfully. Furthermore my purpose for choosing this geographical terrain, that is, Pakistan and India, is twofold. Firstly, both countries assert a kind of solidarity despite their differences at multiple levels, secondly, Pakistani theater can be considered an offshoot of the kind of theater that had flourished in India before the colonial rule began. I have multiple aims in this study, given my comparative scope and selection of plays that I deem as cultural products. I regard cultural productions, as active agents of social change. I wish to make a broad- based audience aware of this literature, and to enhance the contribution of Pakistani dramatists in the field of world drama. Overall, this study aims to discover areas of solidarity by analyzing a shared cultural and colonial history, and by probing and sharing resistance strategies employed by women in their ongoing struggle against systems of control and domination. Additionally, this study is an attempt to locate affinities as well as alterities in the theater practices of the two countries, and my aim is to show how Indian or Pakistani theater depicts the culture or social conditions of the region. I have examined the way female characters are portrayed and projected on stage, and inquired whether they have agency and the will to resist to totalising structures of power or they are just passive and silent sufferers; whether they are delineated in a positive light or portrayed as avenging, monster figures. Are these plays using indigenous theatrical traditions or borrowed Western forms? What local, indigenous techniques are being employed and why, and how far these forms are successful in conveying the message of the playwright/practitioner? In addition to illustrating the social, historical, and cultural 3 conditions of the subcontinent that have shaped the drama on both sides of the border, my objective has been to trace the way the image of woman on stage has evolved. Power is as complex a phenomenon as gender is, and the relationship between the two is a contentious one. From Foucault, Lukes, Bourdieu and Giddens to a plethora of feminists, the notion of power has remained a focal point of debates and still no consensus has been formulated. However, many feminist scholars assume that “theories of power tend to be silent when it comes to the subject of gender” (Davis 67). It goes beyond the scope of this study to analyze and critique all the theories of power conceptualized by different scholars but, Giddens’ conception of power, as both “constraining as well as enabling,” is more relevant to my dissertation. According to Giddens, investigating power also involves uncovering “dialectic of control,” which will be the focus of this study (qtd in Davis 73). Thus, I investigate the “dialectic of control” that deprives women of their subjectivity and agency and compels them to lead fragmented lives, but it is enabling in the sense that women choose to resist and this is what the plays in this study illustrate. In the subcontinent, patriarchal order intersects with religion and politics to maintain the status quo, marginalizing women. Religion is and has remained

  • Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India / 93
    Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India / 93 Tariq Rahman* Language, Religion and Politics: Urdu in Pakistan and North India Résumé. Langue, religion et politique : l’ourdou au Pakistan et dans le nord de l’Inde. L’ourdou, langue nationale du Pakistan et symbole identitaire des Indiens musulmans est associée à l’islam en Asie du sud. Cette association a été forgée pendant la période coloniale britannique. Les Britanniques ont remplacé le persan - langue du pouvoir moghol - par l’our- dou (aux échelons inférieurs) et l’anglais (aux échelons supérieurs) dans plusieurs régions du nord de l’Inde et de l’actuel Pakistan. L’ourdou s’est diffusé par le biais des réseaux scolaires et de communication dans l’Inde coloniale. Il devint le principal médium d’instruction dans les séminaires musulmans (madrasa-s) et la principale langue des écrits religieux. L’ourdou est également devenu un symbole important de l’identité musulmane et a contribué, juste après l’islam, à mobiliser la communauté musulmane pour demander la création du Pakistan en 1947. Au Pakistan, l’ourdou et l’islam sont des composantes symboliques importantes de l’identité nationale et s’opposent à l’expression des langues autochtones. Cette identité est principalement défendue par les partis politiques de droite et se positionne comme opposée non seulement aux identifications ethniques mais également à une identité occidentale plus globalisée et libérale qui serait symbolisée par l’anglais. En Inde cependant, l’ourdou soutient la minorité musulmane contre la domination hindoue nationaliste. De fait, l’ourdou, dans sa relation avec l’islam, joue un rôle complexe et parfois contradictoire au Pakistan et au nord de l’Inde.

  • Bharatanatyam: Eroticism, Devotion, and a Return to Tradition
    BHARATANATYAM: EROTICISM, DEVOTION, AND A RETURN TO TRADITION A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Religion In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Taylor Steine May/2016 Page 1! of 34! Abstract The classical Indian dance style of Bharatanatyam evolved out of the sadir dance of the devadāsīs. Through the colonial period, the dance style underwent major changes and continues to evolve today. This paper aims to examine the elements of eroticism and devotion within both the sadir dance style and the contemporary Bharatanatyam. The erotic is viewed as a religious path to devotion and salvation in the Hindu religion and I will analyze why this eroticism is seen as religious and what makes it so vital to understanding and connecting with the divine, especially through the embodied practices of religious dance. Introduction Bharatanatyam is an Indian dance style that evolved from the sadir dance of devadāsīs. Sadir has been popular since roughly the 6th century. The original sadir dance form most likely originated in the area of Tamil Nadu in southern India and was used in part for temple rituals. Because of this connection to the ancient sadir dance, Bharatanatyam has historic traditional value. It began as a dance style performed in temples as ritual devotion to the gods. This original form of the style performed by the devadāsīs was inherently religious, as devadāsīs were women employed by the temple specifically to perform religious texts for the deities and for devotees. Because some sadir pieces were dances based on poems about kings and not deities, secularism does have a place in the dance form.

Defying Marginalization: Emergence of Women’s Organizations and the Resistance Movement in Pakistan: A Historical Overview By Rahat Imran1 and Imran Munir2 Abstract In the wake of Pakistani dictator General-Zia-ul-Haq’s Islamization process (1977-1988), the country experienced an unprecedented tilt towards religious fundamentalism. This initiated judicial transformations that brought in rigid Islamic Sharia laws that impacted women’s freedoms and participation in the public sphere, and gender-specific curbs and policies on the pretext of implementing a religious identity. This suffocating environment that eroded women’s rights in particular through a recourse to politicization of religion also saw the emergence of equally strong resistance, particularly by women who, for the first time in Pakistan’s history, grouped and mobilized an organized activist women’s movement to challenge Zia’s oppressive laws and authoritarian regime.

Indeed, scholars have furthered interest in the global aspects of the movement, highlighting how Black Power was adopted in contexts as diverse as India, Israel and Polynesia. This article highlights that Britain also possessed its own distinctive form of Black Power movement, which whilst inspired and informed by its US counterpart, was also rooted in anti-colonial politics, New Commonwealth immigration and the onset of decolonization. Existing sociological narratives usually locate the prominence and visibility of British Black Power and its activism, which lasted through the 1960s to the early 1970s, within the broad history of UK race relations and the movement from anti-racism to multiculturalism. However, this characterization neglects how such Black activism conjoined explanations of domestic racism with issues of imperialism and global inequality. Through recovering this history, the article seeks to bring to the fore a forgotten part of British history and also examines how the history of British Black Power offers valuable lessons about how the politics of anti-racism and anti-imperialism should be united in the 21st century.

  • Emergence of Separatist Movement in East Pakistan: Impact of Jinnah’S Leadership
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 24, Issue - 2, 2017, 589:600 Emergence of Separatist Movement in East Pakistan: Impact of Jinnah’s Leadership Rizwan Ullah Kokab and Mahboob Hussain* Abstract This paper offers a study of the impact of leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on the Bengali Separatist Movement in its preliminary stage during the first year of the life of Pakistan when Quaid-i-Azam served as its first governor general. It would be examined whether the lingual, constitutional, economic and governmental issues, which later became a source of discontent that caused the Bengali Separatist Movement grow, were addressed by the Quaid-i-Azam Jinnah in a proper way and he did not found those mistakes which his successors in the leadership of Pakistan committed. It would also be observed that visionary leader of Quaid-i-Azam’s rank could understand the danger to the integrity of Pakistan posed by the feelings of provincialism, communism and Hindu influence in the eastern wing of Pakistan that was remote from its western part through a distance of one thousand miles. The paper will also provide a critical analysis of the steps of Quaid-i-Azam which he took for the purpose of the solidarity of newly born state of Pakistan but which steps were allegedly used as a negative propaganda against the founder of Pakistan in order to give air to the ideas of separatism in the Bengalis. In this context the Quaid’s decision for the selection of Karachi as the capital of Pakistan and his use of powers as the governor general of Pakistan would be analyzed.
