Mistry effectively contrasts the chivalrous past with the ignominious present. He appears to imply that modern life and uncertainty are now synonymous. Mistry, as a Parsi, deftly describes certain customs and rituals associated with the microscopic community.

Abstract:

AbstractScholars have debated the theological significance of the epilogue to the books of Kings (2 Kgs 25:27-30) by examining the agenda of the Deuteronomistic historian. Rather than looking within the historian's ideology, it may prove beneficial to compare the epilogue to A Fine Balance in which the theme of hope is central to the storyline. Like A Fine Balance in which Rohinton Mistry uses a subdued but hopeful ending to balance the mostly hopeless historical novel, the Deuteronomistic historian adds a hopeful epilogue to the books of Kings to offset its deterministic ideology in which sin

Abstract:

Social alienation and diasporic identity were not foreign themes to the insightful writers of vibrant contemporary India. When one lives in a vast country where countless cultures are followed and diverse languages are spoken, it becomes very difficult to find and hold one’s own personal identity. It is a person’s innate disposition to migrate somewhere supposedly better and then profoundly long for where one came from. In the relentless pursuit of something superficial, we often lose something much more basic and necessary: our precious individuality. The present academic paper is a humble su

Cultural identity and challenges of faith have constituted as well as created conflicts while reckoning with the forces of ethnic homogeneity for a stable society. A constant struggle to maintain faith in the light of religious doubt and formidable dangers of dislocation from one’s chosen place in a community problematizes an individual’s position while adjusting to the trends of progress. One such is being the Parsee community after their exodus in 7th century AD in the wake of Muslim onslaught. Often considered one of the most enterprising among minority communities, the Parsees

This article examines Rohinton Mistry’s portrayal of women’s marginalization through the character of Dina Dalal in his novel A Fine Balance from an Ecofeminist perspective. Dina, a strong and independent woman, navigates the oppressive forces of patriarchy and economic hardship after her husband’s death. Despite her efforts to maintain financial independence through a tailoring business, she is repeatedly undermined by societal structures that limit women’s autonomy. The novel critiques the intersection of gender, class, and economic oppression, illustrating how women, especially from disadva

Abstract:

The Parsi writers of the Indian diaspora have enriched the Indian literature as well as world literature through their literary contributions. They aimed to present Parsis' psyche through the presentation of historical legends, the cadences of mythology, the problems arising out of migration, family conflicts, the east-west encounter, and the cultural diversity. A sense of displacement, search for balance, cultural assimilation and the complexities of new civilization which lead them to nostalgia, are the other major points of discussion to Parsi writers.Parsi fiction in English also gives voi
