Thinking Activity in this online discussion is to reflect on the points of agreement and disagreement. What are the arguments can be given with the help of Cultural Studies and Postcolonialism.
" Stop telling Sharmeens and Adigas to Photoshop reality ".
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has won the academic award for her documentary, 'A Girl in the River.' Which portrays the negative but real image of Pakistan. In which we find how honor killing is happening in Pakistan and also it tells the poor condition of women. It has been much celebrated at home . Same as Arvind Adiga's work "The White Tiger" has been also celebrated widely .
Postcolonial View :
According to me if writer gets award from west it doesn't mean they becomes happy to seeing the condition of that region. But by spreading this situation, who is in power they may tries to change it . But after studying the Cultural Studies we might feel that ultimately they wants to show the inferiority of it. But yet it is necessary to open the eyes of people and also of the Power.
There can be a question arises in our mind that now they are ruling over us by this way ,But without deep studying we can not conclude this thing.
Cultural Studies :
We may feel that this kind of writer wants to be famous in people by publishing this kind of work. Because to get more publicity they already knows which kind of work gives more publicity .
In the country like India people has so many problems so they might feels that he or she is talking about us. They are arguing for us by publishing their work.
But yet it must require to talk against the power or to talk about the real condition of the country . And we have great example of it is Ravish Kumar ,Who always draws the picture of real issues and also of real condition of the country .
So this kind of writer is in a way doing good work.
So this kind of writer is in a way doing good work.
Thank you....
