ABSTRACT

Prof. A.N. Dwivedi is not a new name in the poetic horizon of Indian English literature. He is a prominent ‘new’ Indian English poet and a renowned Indian critic. Prof. Dwivedi’s perspectives on Indian society, his thoughts on contemporary issues and his ideas about healing the offended civilization are reflected in his poetical works. He not only introduces several critical terms but also enriches modern Indian English verse to a large extent. Here, in this study, his long poem entitled Musings on Self ‘n’ Society is being taken up to observe socio-political consciousness in it.

ABSTRACT

The relationship between shame, brutality, and shamelessness is examined in Salman Rushdie's Shame, along with how these ideas relate to Pakistan's political and social past. The main idea of the book is that violence can result from shame and that the two are inseparable. The book examines the issues that Pakistan faced after colonization, such as the fabricated divisions between Muslims and Hindus and the cooperation of those who lived in these divisions. Patriarchal society' systematic misogyny is examined in the book. Rushdie fictionalizes horrific historical occurrences, like the murder of a daughter in London by her Pakistani father, using a fairy tale narrative convention. Composed in the manner of magic realism, the book critiques state censorships, nationalisms, coups, murders, and crooked elections through the use of dream worlds and fairylands. This feminist research examines how Pakistan's history has been influenced by sociocultural inequities and female resistance. Key words: shame, violence, and shamelessness, artificial divisions, violent historical events, nationalisms, coups, murders, and rigged elections, feminist.
