★>In this online discussion we see that there is the interesting topic on the'Practice of honor killing'. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Academy Award for her documentary, A Girl in the River. In which she also talking about horror of acid attack, and also talking about honor of killing into the country like Pakistan. This documentary is also based on the honor of Killing in the country of Pakistan. Sharmeen's first Oscar award winning documentary film, A Girl in the River, portrayed a negative side of India.
Postcolonialism:
People are of the opinion that writer should write good about their nation, they must sing only the glory of nation. In this way we are going away from reality. It is general belief of people that white people give awards to third world country because they are very happy to see the bad image of once colonized country. But it is not so. T.S Eliot portrayed harsh reality about his country in the poem ‘The Waste Land’. And also it won many award from his country. Thus it is quite false belief that foreign countries are giving awards only for that reason. Or writers are writing only for awards from white people.
Other examples ....
Oliver twist ...
Sense and sensibility...
Wast land ....
These all works portrayed the reality of the society. In 'Oliver Twist', Dickens portrayed the poor law of Victorian Britain that how the cruel law for the poor and orphan children. After the publication of the novel 'Oliver Twist' British government pass the reformation bill and law about child laboring. So, we can say that is is not about western people that they feel happy on our poor condition.
Here many other writers who wrote on the same path are .....
Anita desai ,
Aroundhati roy ,
Arvind Adiga ,
Amitav GHOSH , .
Jumpa lahiri ,
Cultural studies ......
The prime duty of any literary writer is to present the contemporary issues and picture of nation. Everyone has the right to voice and freedom of expression. So they are free to portrayed the condition of their country. But many follower of ideology and political discourse try to banned this kind of harsh reality, because they do not bear the bad images of their culture and country.
Writers like Arvind Adiga he wrote the novel about the darker side of India and his novel supplies a darkly humorous perspective of India’s class struggle in a globalised world. It is told through a retrospective narration from a village boy. We have many examples like Slumdog Millionaire. but, we can also say that writers has freedom of expression, they can write whatever they wants to. Sharmeen, she raise her voice against the male dominance. I am agree with the point and we have to accept the reality and change our self with appropriate situation.
