![]() ![]() No 1 wants to trust on each and every other, for example, Hindus thought that Muslims are the Terrorist and Muslims thought that Hindus or Sikhs are the cause behind the separation. Furthermore, it was the heartbreaking human tragedy to generate violence. Each and every neighborhood refused to take duty they committed that they had live peacefully. It reveals the thought of Hindus blamed on the Muslims and Muslims blamed on the Hindus to create a violence. According to the Hindus, the Muslims have been to blame. ![]() Khushwant Singh described in his novel that “Muslims said the Hindus had planned and started the killing. ![]() Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims and how the partition modifications the behavior of people from peace to violence. For that reason, my essay will examine the separation of India and Pakistan by diverse religions i.e. Khushwant Singh makes use of the character of the Sikh boy, Juggat Singh, and the Muslim girl, Nooran which tells about the reality of circumstance upon both the communities. It also illustrates that the term ‘microcosm’ represent of both communal conflict and violence which is caused by the partition. Additionally, Khushwant Singh represents the village, Mano Majra, as a microcosm which shows a bigger world, even it starts with micro (small), but it has the meaning itself. Khushwant Singh describes that ‘Train to Pakistan’ is the novel which represents that the black history of India through the partition of India and Pakistan. In order to grow into the novel’s narrator, he’ll need to undergo a great change, but for now, it’s unclear what the change will be.The novel, “Train to Pakistan” illustrates the thought of partition in 1947 and how folks get affected by the term of violence. As an undergrad, Changez isn’t too concerned with these realities – instead of being honest about his family, he acts the way his friends expect him to act, hiding his financial situation from them (and, in a way, from himself), and pretending to be sophisticated and “exotic”-which in this pre-9/11 world is a beneficial status for him while still leaving him an outsider. In many ways, Western imperialism and American capitalism are responsible for the decline in Changez’s family’s fortunes: the local elite that once dominated Pakistan slowly lose their power and influence, first to the British colonists, then to businessmen, many of whom work for American companies. Changez concludes mysteriously that Jim was right to say that he had ambition, but only in “some ways.”Ĭhangez’s observation that the socioeconomic changes in Pakistan aren’t unique paints a sobering picture of the 21stcentury world, in which the middle classes are disappearing, the new rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. Around his Princeton friends, Changez adopts an air of wealth and sophistication, but like Jim, he secretly works to support himself and his family, choosing places where his classmates are unlikely to run into him. In general, he notes, the decline in his family’s economic strength is merely an extreme version of the decline in the upper- and middle-classes around the world. His family feels the same disdain for the “new money” classes that the 19th-century European aristocrats felt for the middle-classes. His relatives, both male and female, work for a living, though they continue to employ servants, live in the most expensive part of Lahore, hold memberships in various elite clubs, and attend the parties and weddings of the Pakistani elite. His family was once rich and powerful, but its wealth has been shrinking for generations. As a result, his interest in Changez as a fully-formed human being is questionable.Ĭhangez takes a moment to explain his financial situation to the Stranger more precisely. Jim asks Changez personal questions about his financial situation, but seems indifferent to other aspects of his personality – his home, his city, his culture. The difference between the two roles Changez plays – in Pakistan, he’s an interviewer at Princeton, he’s being interviewed – suggest how greatly he has changed, and suggest that The Reluctant Fundamentalist is the story of how Changez moves from being a nervous, passive character to an active one. In spite of his confidence in his abilities, the young Changez finds it difficult to “sell himself” to Jim, prompting Jim to ask him a series of uncomfortable leading questions – much as Changez asks leading questions of the Stranger. The casual way Changez communicates his name to the Stranger establishes more trust and closeness between them, but it also underscores the strangeness of their relationship - Changez treats the Stranger like a friend, but he waits half an hour to introduce himself, and then doesn’t even bother to ask the Stranger for his name. ![]()
