  • The dividing of Indian subcontinent during the 1947

    If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?

    Hi Everyone,

    I hope you are doing well. I’m also doing fine, thank you. Today I’m going to talk about if I could go back and witness any hips wrinkle event, which one I would pick. Let’s deep dive into it.

    The historical event that I would want to witness is the dividing of the Indian subcontinent in the 1947. 1947 has played a huge role in shaping the countries of the Indian subcontinent, which are known as nowadays India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Still the day it makes me wonder what’s wrong in between these countries. Ever since the dividation of Indian subcontinent, it is in state of restlessness, not just in people’s life but also in the political spheres of these countries. Still the day people couldn’t come out of the horror of the dividing of the countries.

    It didn’t just end in a suffering for the people residing here but has become a trauma going on for generations after generations. Besides, Indian subcontinent is the only place where countries are divided on the basis of religion. Since then it hasn’t come out of the religious stigma that has created since the birth of these countries. Even if you look at Bangladesh, which was separated from Pakistan in 1971, was founded on the basis of rights for every religion, creed and caste, the religious spehere still dominates the country. I was really wonder why and how.

    Now some people blame the British empire, some people blame the Nehru and Gandhi, or some people blame Muslims for expecting a country for themselves and some people blame Hinds for expecting a Hindu nation. However, I don’t want to blame anyone for this, but inspect what necessities and criterias that led to dividing the country by the name of religion. This political restlessness has caused casualties around 1 million in India and Pakistan and further escalated into a full fledged war between the Pre-East Pakistan and West Pakistan along with India and then gave birth to Bangladesh.

    So, now you know why I would like to go in the past in 1947 to investigate why these countries are politically unrest and observe the situation in 1947 with my own eyes. The consequences of 1947 has led me into an identity deconstructed position, where neither of my previous generations could have a singular identity. For instance, my grandfather is from the generation of Indian, from an undivided Indian subcontinent and then later became Pakistani and then became Bangladeshi. Same goes for my father, my father was born a East Pakistani and then became Bangladeshi. Interestingly, none of them changed their locations, but the locations has automatically changed. However, in my case, it is a bit different. I was born a Bangladeshi, but here I am living in Germany and trying to reconstruct my identity. It’s not that I am willing to , but I had to go through the struggle of identity, constantly shaping and reshaping my identity.

    Now you might ask, why do you think so? Bangladesh hasn’t been politically born as a religious country. Then why? The answer lies in the 2021, Durga puja attack on minority. It has shattered my sense of identity. I started exploring what’s just wrong with the people. And since then, I have been exploring these issues and therefore, I want to revisit the time of 1947 and dividing of the Indian subcontinent. I wish, I could be the eye – witness of it and could change my fate.

    Thank you very much for reading my post. It would be sexcellent, if you’d subscribe my blog.

    Have a nice day.

  • Heritage Based on Edinburgh Literary Heritage

    Based on Edinburgh’s literary history, “heritage” is the collection of literary works, authors, physical landmarks, and cultural practices that have shaped the city’s literary identity over time. This heritage is an important part of the city of Edinburgh’s identity and sense of place. It shows the city’s history, traditions, values, and unique cultural identity.

    Edinburgh shows the city’s literary history in a lot of different ways. Tourists can do this by going on one of the many available literary tours. Most of these tours focus on the works of specific authors, such as Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, or Robert Louis Stevenson. On these tours, people often talk about how vital these authors are to the culture and literature of Scotland. The Edinburgh International Book Festival is just one of many annual literary events in Edinburgh. These events honour Edinburgh’s long literary tradition by allowing new and well-known authors to share their work and talk with festivalgoers. The Writers’ Museum, which is all about the lives and careers of Scottish authors, and the Scott Monument are two of the most important literary landmarks in the city (a soaring memorial to Sir Walter Scott). The city also has many libraries, including the National Library of Scotland, which has a vast collection of Scottish literature and history.

    The Edinburgh literary heritage is local or regional, while the UNESCO literary heritage is international. On the other hand, Edinburgh’s literary legacy highlights the works and contributions of Scottish authors. Even if these works are known worldwide, what gives them the most value is that they are essential to a specific region or culture. The ways that Edinburgh promotes and keeps its literary heritage differ from how that UNESCO does it. As part of its mission to preserve the world’s literary heritage, UNESCO works hard to protect and promote works by authors like Shakespeare and Cervantes. On the other hand, Edinburgh has many literary festivals and events to show off the city’s rich literary history and local talent at places where famous authors once lived.
