This study examines how literature, specifically Uzma Aslam Khan’s Thinner Than Skin (2012), as a medium can revive the sense of place, particularly the place sense redefined by the experiences of post-colonial eco-social catastrophes, as a dialogical co-habitation of human-non-human environment in mainstream academia. This study, at first, moves beyond the Western perception of place as an isolated source of individual identity. It then engages with the recent scholarships on “eco-cosmopolitanism” and political ecology of the global South to show how the forces of (neo)colonial-capitalist modernity and consequent eco-social crises in Pakistan were registered both in Khan’s experimental narrative content and style. This study argues that Khan’s novel employs a “post-colonial eco-cosmopolitan” approach, focusing on the fluidity of place-based identities and the challenges of narrating a post-colonial sense of place in the zones of conflict, catastrophes, and crises. Finally, this study contends that when socio-ecological crises affect various aspects of life—body, home, society, and environment—local cultural practices like oral story-telling, folklore sharing, and traditional rituals serve as sources of collective memory, providing inner stability amid external turmoil.Keywords: Post-colonial socio-ecological catastrophessense of placepakistanpolitical ecology of global southpost-colonial eco-cosmopolitanism Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNobonita RakshitNobonita Rakshit is a Research Scholar in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India.

The discussion takes clues from Manoranjan Byapari’s Interrogating My Chandal Life (English trans. Shipra Mukherjee, 2018). The paper situates itself between two significant strands - one the Partition and the second, the Dalit consciousness to critically examine the positionality of the Namashudra refugees during/post Partition resettlement in Bengal. The discussion treats Byapari’s text as an auto-ethnographic account that introduces “Chandal aesthetics,” Namashudrayan to foreground the contested issues of subalternity, religiosity, spatiality and socio-political identity in a post-partition South Asia. The Dalit voice, represented through the writings of Byapari, records the micro-narratives of the lower-caste/subalterns/marginalized people who have been denied spaces in nationalist/majoritarian histories and their archives. The paper attempts to locate the largely silent zones of Bengal’s partition histories and their intergenerational shared memories and re-representations that have occluded, evaded and circumvented the questions of caste and, specifically, the Dalit experience.Keywords: Partition Dalit narratives Namashudra Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The term “two Bengals” alludes to the historical geographical expanse known as Bengal, which underwent a partition in South Asia, resulting in the formation of East Bengal (now recognized as Bangladesh) and West Bengal (a constituent of India). The partition of British India in 1947 entailed the division of the region into two distinct nations, namely India and Pakistan, predicated upon religious demarcations.2 The etymology of the word ‘nama’ carries a mythological reference. Sage Kashyap’s son Namas was married to Ruchi’s daughter Sulochana and they had two sons from this wedlock. But due to the carelessness of Namas Muni, his sons were not endowed with sacred thread for attaining the Brahminhood in their 14th years of birth and thus remain shudra.Yet their parental progeny, they were respectable but considered as Namashudras and thus the tribe created.3 Byapari as a Rickshaw-puller met the renowned writer Mahasweta Devi and asked the meaning of “jijibisha” he came across in a book. Later his collection of short stories published in 2005 titled as Jijibishar Golpo (See Byapari and Mukherjee Citation2007).4 Fourth World defines as an alternative literary and cultural discourse, which incorporates Dalits and Tribals of India to emphasize upon the marginalized social and literary identity of such poor and indigenous communities. It subverts the First/Second/Third World’s pedagogical aspects of knowledge. In respect of Dalit Literature, Bengal Dalit literary institution was established in 1992 and its preamble was “Chaturtha Dunia” (trans. Fourth World).Additional informationNotes on contributorsPraggnapara","PeriodicalId":85563,"journal":{"name":"South Asian review","volume":"225 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135475813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We will show how performances of nuclear brinkmanship and nuclear anxiety in India have historically been and continue to be symptomatic of the themes the Partition has bequeathed to Indian literature—kinship, vengeance, identity, and mutual destruction on a gigantic scale. With reference to these themes, we will critically analyze three Indian cultural texts—Vikram Chandra’s novel Sacred Games (2006), its Netflix adaptation (2018–2019), and Sami Ahmad Khan’s novel Red Jihad (2012), especially focusing on the ways in which such texts attempt to feature and resolve Indo-Pakistani nuclear crises. We will demonstrate how these texts embody a cultural shift wherein the nuclear crisis ultimately underscores the urgency of healing Partition’s historical wounds.Keywords: Indian Partition studiesnuclear warSouth Asian Studiesliterary studiesnuclear cultureIndian nuclear fiction AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Dr. Sami Ahmad Khan from the University of Oslo and Dr. Dibyadyuti Roy from the University of Leeds for their constructive feedback and encouragement throughout the writing of this article.
