Sapare bhavani bai Best Answer
the major theme of Heat and Dust is cultural transformation, a process for which only the most determined of the sensitive are qualified. India is not a healthy place for Olivia’s friend Harry, who languishes in the Nawab’s entourage and who is unable to extricate himself from the Nawab’s influence. Only after the prince’s fall from power is Harry free to return to his mother’s flat in Kensington.
plz do elaborate a bit
Themes East meets West – culture clash of East (Indians) and the West ( the British) – different point of view, way of live, living conditions Birth and Rebirth – marble angel -> bearing a child -> birth or death – Olivia fears death in childbirth – Maji holds birth and death in her hand (abotion) Touching – touching e.g. hand -> helping -> energy -> safety Posture – luxury or poverty (contrast British- Indians) – characterises some people -> Douglas; in a large measure by the straightness of his posture -> Indians prefer to lounge about on cushions; when they use a sofa, they are describes as being ‘draped elegantly’ -> the narrator works, sleeps and eats on the floor Unfulfilled longing – Olivia and Douglas suffer from the childlessness – Olivia searches his desires in the Nawab – the Nawab hopes for more power and money – Harry is probably hopeless in love with the Nawab, prefer to returne to England for health reasons – Inder Lal ‘ years for all sorts of things beyond his reach ‘ (p. 52,ll.9-10) – the narrator misses something in her life, some unspoken wish is waiting (…) The parent-child relationship – the British see themselves in the role of parents who demonstrate authority and responsibility – Douglas describes the Indians as ‘children ‘ (p.40, l.27) – the Nawab behaves like a child because of his sudden changes of mood – the British think that the Indians would be helpless without them
