Paper II Plot:

 Paper II 

Plot:

        A plot is the sequence of events that make up a story, whether it’s told, written, filmed, or sung. The plot is the story, and more specifically, how the story develops, unfolds, and moves in time. 
Plots are typically made up of five main elements:

1. Exposition: At the beginning of the story, characters, setting, and the main conflict are typically introduced.

2. Rising Action: The main character is in crisis and events leading up to facing the conflict begin to unfold. The story becomes complicated.

3. Climax: At the peak of the story, a major event occurs in which the main character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict. The most action, drama, change, and excitement occur here.

4. Falling Action: The story begins to slow down and work towards its end, tying up loose ends.

5. Resolution/Denouement: Also known as a denouement, the resolution is like a concluding paragraph that resolves any remaining issues and ends the story.

        Plots, also known as storylines, include the most significant events of the story and how the characters and their problems change over time.

        A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. 'The king died and then the queen died,' is a story. 'The king died, and then the queen died of grief' is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.

 Partition Novel:           The long fight for India’s independence from the British Raj, which commenced with the Indian Mutiny of 1857, gained momentum after World War II. However, India’s desire for self-governance was coupled with severe inter-communal disharmony. The Indian National Congress and the Muslim League could not reconcile their views, which further added to the chaos ensuing escalation of sectarian violence. So in the year 1947, when the British finally left India, the country was divided into two independent nation-states — India and Pakistan.           Partition literature is a nuanced depiction of the tragedy of Partition, a period in India’s history that is very hard to make sense of. It is an amalgamation of history, conflict studies, border studies, and politics. The multi-layered dynamics of the Partition of India, not only the political but also its metaphoric and symbolic relevance and ramification...

Paper IV The Contribution of Women to the Indian English

 The Contribution of Women to the Indian English                The Indian English novel is globally recognized today. It has come of age in terms of quality, quantity, and variety. The credit also goes to women novelists whose contribution counts a lot in novel writing and publishing. They try varied themes, locales, techniques, or styles; raise issues of caste, class, gender, and identity; and derive the stuff for their books from home, society, politics, deep psychology, or self-story. Some women writers went abroad and got settled there. They include Attia Hosain who migrated to Britain in 1947; Kamala Markandaya married an Englishman; Bharti Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee and Kiran Desai now reside in America.                There are many Indian women writers both novelists and poets, based in the USA and Britain.
