  • Common Perspectives in Post-Colonial Indian and African Fiction in English
    COMMON PERSPECTIVES IN POST-COLONIAL INDIAN AND AFRICAN FICTION IN ENGLISH ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of IN ENGLISH LITERATURE BY AMINA KISHORE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIIVI UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1995 Abstract The introduction of the special paper on Commonwealth Literature at the Post Graduate level and the paper called 'Novel other than British and American' at the Under Graduate level at AMU were the two major eventualities which led to this study. In the paper offered to the M A students, the grouping together of Literatures from atleast four of the Commonwealth nations into one paper was basically a makeshift arrangement. The objectives behind the formulation of such separate area as courses for special study remained vaguely described and therefore unjustified. The teacher and students, were both uncertain as to why and how to hold the disparate units together. The study emerges out of such immediate dilemma and it hopes to clarify certain problematic concerns related to the student of the Commonwealth Literature. Most Commonwealth criticism follows either (a) a justificatory approach; or (b) a confrontationist approach; In approach (a) usually a defensive stand is taken by local critics and a supportive non-critical, indulgent stand is adopted by the Western critic. In both cases, the issue of language use, nomenclature and the event cycle of colonial history are the routes by which the argument is moved. Approach (b) invariably adopts the Post-Colonial Discourse as its norm of presenting the argument. According to this approach, the commonness of Commonwealth Literatures emerges from the fact that all these Literatures have walked ••• through the fires of enslavement and therefore are anguished, embattled units of creative expression.

When it is applied to the people, it speaks about the scattering of people from their homeland to different places across the globe. There they spread their culture. Diaspora literature can be defined as the literature produced by the writers who are away from their homeland. The present paper is an attempt to discuss the Diaspora elements in the writings of Anita Desai the Indian woman novelist. Anita Desai has the mixed parentage as her mother belongs to German Christian and father is a Bengali Indian. This complex origin has given her the suitability to become a Diaspora writer.In her novels, she describes how her characters have felt alienation and displacement in a foreign home and what makes them describe the beauty and socio-cultural themes of their homeland. The feeling 'I never belonged to any place' often occurs in the mind of the main characters. The characters including the writer are torn between the double and often contradictory ideologies of 'homeland' and 'host land'. The title 'Diasporic Thought' in Anita Desai reveals though she wishes to go back to her homeland, the questions 'Where lies Home' and 'What is home' show the loss of identity space in a foreign location.

  • Azadi”: a Nightmare
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 1, Issue - 4, June - 2017 “AZADI”: A NIGHTMARE Dibyajyoti Likharu Assistant Professor Deptt. of English, Howraghat College, Karbi Anglong, Assam, India Email - [email protected] Abstract: Chaman Nahal is one of the prominent writers of Indian English literature. He has penned eight numbers of novels. Azadi (Independence) is one of the four novels which constitute the Gandhi Quartet. It is a modern classic presents a comprehensive vision of life demonstrating the mayhem that partition played on the people of the country at the socio-cultural, economic and individual levels. It portrays the realistic historical records of the horrible incidents caused by the partition through literary perspectives. The novel is about the theme of partition of Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan. As a refugee Nahal writes with remarkable penetration and realism. The novel is political, historical and above all a great work of art. The three parts of the novel ‘Lull’, ‘Strom, and ‘Aftermath’, make it clear that it is about the peaceful atmosphere before the partition, the terrific incident caused by the partition and the plight of the uprooted refugees after the partition. The novelist has used the seven families of a Muslim dominated city Sialkot to represent thousands of sufferers like them. He himself was one of those sufferers who were forced to leave Sialkot for India. Thus he wrote life pictures of that event. This paper is an attempt to highlight the inexplicable sufferings of those refugees during the time of partition. Keywords: Partition, Refugees, Horrible, Mayhem, etc.
