Riot: Pondering History for Communal Harmony
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
My attempt in this paper will focus on the riot section to examine how Tharoor has used history to unravel the politics behind the communal passion that has rocked India ever since partition in 1947. And the specific point in history that Sashi Tharoor has chosen for his purpose is the riot that reverberated in Uttar Pradesh in 1989 in the context of the Babri Masjid/Ram Janmabhoomi controversy. His intention was to revive this largely forgotten year in Indian history. In a speech to the Carnegie Council, Tharoor remarked that while writing the novel, he had benefited from an actual riot that occurred in 1989, in Khargor in Madhya Pradesh, details of which was provided to him by his classmate who, as District Magistrate was there, to handle it(“Sectarian Violence”, 2001).
