How does Dibyendu Palit represent the ides of home in the short story 'Alam's own house'? compare with other texts in the syllabus. ANS. Dibyendu Palit's 'Alam's Own House' is a fictional story that challenges the legitimacy of national borders placed by man in order to demarcate ethnic or religious distinctions between nations. The narrator, Alam's family was forced to leave their homes and homes after the partition and had to migrate to Dhaka due to their excessive fear of becoming a minority in Calcutta-the Calcutta they cherished was no longer secure, religious disturbances made it exceedingly unsafe for the Muslim family to survive in a neighborhood dominated by Hindus. The religious affiliations were the primary consideration that determined where people will live in. The plot is established after several years of partition, when the narratorprotagonist is on his way from Dhaka to Calcutta, heading to a city, which was once his home, to a home in which he was raised and educated. The partition uprooted literally millions of people from their suitable habitat and family homes to pursue a challenging and painful journey against their preferences to locations whose names or images they haven't really seen. Once forced out, a part of the individual's roots persists in the native ground, and the memory of the missing origins torments him or her for the majority of his life. Alam, too, has gone through common struggles, political developments and religious disparities coupled to displace him from his homeland and push him to Dhaka, where he would have to re-root himself.

Religion serves as a nuanced backdrop that adds depth to the characters and their experiences. This paper delves into how religion is portrayed in the play, particularly in the context of spirituality and music, and how it influences the characters and their worldviews. By analysing the spiritual power of music, the contrasting perspectives of Levee and Jeremy on religion, and the subtle religious symbolism, this paper sheds light on the intersection of spirituality and artistry in the lives of Black musicians in 1920s Chicago.

The Shadow Lines represents the confrontation with nationhood, and it is a conflict of an individual's inner psyche. Amitav Ghosh addresses the matter of geographical restraints, deterritorialization, and the problematization of citizenship as a result of the formation of new ethnic and territorial boundaries, as well as the defiance of these frontiers by migratory movements. The year 1947 augmented India's understanding of the notion of a nation. The paper is an attempt to elucidate on the Idea of Nation in The Shadow Lines. Ghosh is contemplating the futility of a country's bifurcation to establish two different nations, one in the east and the other in the west of the subcontinent.

Rabia’s views are based on God's compassion, claiming and preaching that love is the only road to God. There is no clear distinction between good and bad, for it is reduced to Unity, and God is the only writer of mankind's actions. God is the one who determines man's will.. The aim of a Sufi's life is only to love God and pursue His grace and happiness, which is impossible unless the person serves humanity.

The book focuses on how the first generation of Germans embraced Nazism and how the second generation of Germans attempted to come to terms with Nazi history. The novel's plot has emphasized that the SS German troops were also sufferers of Nazism. They endured pain, just like the people who died in the Nazi concentration camps. The author purposefully crafted the love story between Michael and Hanna to underline the catastrophic and sorrowful history of the German state. The readership from a generation post the Holocaust is tested by Schlink's complex Holocaust storyline. The novel puts the reader in the position of a German citizen who participated directly or witnessed the atrocities of the Holocaust. Hanna's trial in the novel allows the transmission of Holocaust memory from one generation to another, which sheds light upon how Jewish and German perspectives of holocaust differ. The intention of this paper is to portray The Reader as a post- Holocaust novel.
