This blog is the part of my thinking activity in classroom work. In this I would like to talk about one of the famous play Final Solution by Mahesh Dattani.

Let's throw some light on the playwrighter and play:-

Mahesh Dattani:-

Mahesh Dattani (born 7 August 1958) is an Indian director, actor, playwright and writer. He wrote such plays as Final Solutions,[1] Dance Like a Man, Bravely Fought the Queen, On a Muggy Night in Mumbai, Tara, Thirty Days in September[2][3] and The Big Fat City.

He is the first playwright in English to be awarded the Sahitya Akademi award.[4] His plays have been directed by eminent directors like Arvind Gaur, Alyque Padamsee and Lillete Dubey.

About Play:-

This play is about the hindu family in Gujarat who save 2 boys from Muslim community and are under threat to be skinned alive if they don't hand over the Muslims boys to the hindu rioter, and those boys are Friends with the girl whom house they shelter in and one guy love that girl is the brother of her best friend and other guy is her best friend fiance. She got scolded for that her friendship with Muslims guys and she take a full stand against that comments we see the bitterness in the both communities and there responses and author show the true face of the society to us in a way we understand best. But ending show that there is not perfect solution to end this communal hatred but there is hope coming generation may able to vanish this thing finally in the coming years. As in the ending we see all three young members were enjoying the water shower on each other and all there is love between boy of Muslim community and girl of hindu family is the difference they have to cross to become one in this life.

We did a movie screening of this play:-

Here is the answer of the questions which is assigned by vaidehi mam:-

1)What is the difference between the movie and the play?

👉If we look that very similar plot in this both. And that a one reason is that Mahesh Dattani was written this play and movie was also directed by him. So there is no more difference between both. But in play we find a very significantly the symbols used by director. In play we find that dairy tell a story to us and also in movie that's happened but with the diary a chair also help us to understand past and present situation. And that's why we easily capture that what the director exactly try to show us.

2)Does the movie help you to understand the narrative structure of the play?

👉 Yes definitely. Infact if we not read and only watch the movie you can get easily all that things which us in play. It's similarly connected with the play. So I getting a more accurately in my mind related the play.

3)Do you think the movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters? 

👉 Yes it's happened with me. Because in the play there are very conflict between the all characters. They all represent the different kind of their thinking and that's why when we read the play we also felt that kind of conflict so it's difficult to understand all the characters mind. But after the watching movie I got idea that how they all connected with each other and they all try to convince to listen their thinking.

Thank you.....

Khodidas Parmar was a great presence as an artist and a greater gentleman that one does not relish it to talk about him in the past tense.

His is a decidedly low-key profile.The round head sports a closed cropped hair,bristling with a mix of black and silver,which tend to make his ear seem rather prominent.

Ajanta caves:-

The Buddhist Caves in Ajanta are approximately 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments dating from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 CE in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state in India.[1][note 1] The caves include paintings and rock-cut sculptures described as among the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art, particularly expressive paintings that present emotions through gesture, pose and form.

Thinking activity:-Home and the World by Rabindranath Tagore

Helloo readers…

So this blog is the part of my thinking activity in classroom. And in this blog I would like to talk about one famous novel " Home and the World" by Rabindranath Tagore. 

So First we throw some light on the novel and plot afterwards we will discuss about the questions which is given by our professor.

About Novel:-

The Home and the World is a novel by Rabindranath Tagore, set against the political and logistical nightmares of India’s 20th century caste system. Although the story focuses on the dynamic of a marriage—which shifts when a shadowy outsider enters the lives of the couple—much of the novel reads like a philosophical treatise. There are shifting viewpoints between the characters Bimala, Nikhil, and Sandip, and much of the book comprises their internal and external dialogues as they consider serious issues such as tradition, the roles of men and women in Indian culture, the nature of political change, the occasional need for violence in political activism, and other rhetorical exercises such as the weighing of the public good.

As the novel begins, Bimala is happy with her life. She has married a good, kind man who is educated and generous. She is content to worship him and accept his support in all things. What she does not feel, however, is excitement. When the political firebrand Sandip begins making speeches in their village, she is infatuated by his words, but also stirred by some of his political ideas. She thinks of him constantly. Sandip, who is only interested in pursuing his own desires and climbing the social strata, does nothing to discourage her interest in him.

Her husband, Nikhil, sees what is happening, but is unwilling to intervene. Nikhil believes that, if one is committed to living morally and thoughtfully, one can accept whatever arises. He is sad that he feels like a burden to Bimala, but is determined to let her make her own choices.

Bimala’s choices lead her to steal from Nikhil to raise money for Sandip’s cause, money that he keeps for himself. Overcome with shame at how she has allowed a man who now disgusts her to cause such havoc in her life, Bimala must try to save her marriage, support her country, and recommit herself to living by her conscience, not her passions. As village unrest turns to outbursts of violence, the characters are all changed by the decisions they must make.

Published in 1916, The Home and the World is a critically celebrated work with themes that its author knows intimately. The novel is a striking example of the power of art (and artifice) to edify—or destroy—causes, relationships, and possibly an entire country. 

Answeres:-

He is a guest in the home of Nikhil and Bimalaand his revolutionary ideas and speeches have and pa a significant impact on Bimala. He is very vocal in his compa anti-imperialistic views and is a skilled orator.

He spreads the notion of Swadeshi - using goods made locally and boycotting British ones. He was a very philandering kind of a person trying to use Bimala and her money. However, his character is far from the ideal patriot. His motivations are selfish at times, prompted by the need to better himself socially. He fools people with his mask of goodness, something Whik t that Nikhil sees through at the beginnings of Sandip's ment, relationship with his mother. "I have been noticing for rather some time that there is a gross cupidity about Sandip.

Write about Rabindranath Tagore's art of characterization:-

Tagore very significantly characterised all the characters of the novel.if we talk about characterization of Tagore, a worshipper of universal humanism, depicts two different streams of Nationalism in his novel The Home and the World. The first stream may be termed as Moderation that articulates essentially pure patriotism without showing the aggressiveness of the Extremism that is the other stream. Both these streams surely are built on the basis of ideals and the followers are motivated according to their beliefs. In this novel Nikhil is a personification of moderate politics whereas Sandip represents the aggressive nationalism throughout the novel.
