Mugo, an introverted villager of Thabai, does not want to give a speech at Uhuru, even though town elders ask him to.

He is restless and can achieve no peace in the village.

Course Code: MEG-08/ 2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

1. Attempt a postcolonial analysis of South Asian literatures written in English.

The following points should be noted in this context:

1.  As per  the postcolonial  point of view  the old canonized  works such as  Shakespeare’s The Tempest  and

Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre need to be studied afresh from the revisionist angle in view of authorial intention and

universal meaning.

2.  The teaching of the colonial text is bound to differ in  the classroom teaching.

3.  It is worth-noting that like Ngugi  in Kenya, Mahatma Gandhi in India was totally opposed to the English

education.

Alis: One of the most important minor  character of the novel is Hyder Ali, the neighbour and landlord of  Das family. It is the first part of the novel that we hear his name for the first time during the conversation between Tara and Bim.  Tara talks  about the  time when  Bim and  Raja played  on the  banks of   the  river.

Narrative techniques in The only American from Our Village. 

Narrative Techniques: The story has been narrated by Dr. Khanna’s father’s friend Radhey Mohan, who forces Dr. Khanna  not to listen  to his father’s  suffering and pain. The  story of his  father makes Dr.  Khanna feel guilty. He  is now full  of remorse  and repentance. From  one perspective it  seems that  Radhey Mohan is  but Dr. Khanna’s father’s alter ego. We’re informed that Dr. Khanna feels uncomfortable with Radhey Mohan because some of his characteristics  like a slant of  the lips, a glint  in the eye, and  the accent, reminded him  of his father.

4. Critically analyse the poem ‘Enterprise’. What are the religious implications in the poem? 

“Enterprize” by Nissim Ezekiel is a satiric  poem with a moral. It deals with pilgrimages which serve no

purpose. The poet suggests  that religious pilgrimages are a  waste and abound in snobbery. In  “Enterprize” which contains the two central metaphors of his poetry – pilgrimage and home – Ezekiel reveals his attitude of commitment.

Besides, according to him, to please God one need not go on pilgrimages as He is within. The poem is in the form of a narrative. The narrator, the poet explains how he and some others started on a pilgrimage.The aim of the pilgrimage was to ennoble the  minds and to make the burdens  light. The pilgrimage had no hitch, to  start with. While, at the second stage, they did not know whether they got a call at all. Obviously, they had started casually, and impulsively.

Course Code: MEG-07/ 2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

3. How important is the family in Dattani’s plays? Answer with special reference to Tara.

Family plays an important role in plays of Dattani, for they stand for society at large. Through depiction of hollowness of  family, Dattani  shows the  hollowness in  the moral  standards  of the  society.  The  discrimination against the girl child by family member shows attitude and mentality of the society. It is tragic that the mother is also support in the act of attaching the third leg to the boy’s body. It is our cultural heritage that boy is always superior to girl. The common method of obtaining higher death rate for girl children than boys is neglecting the girl child during early childhood.
