Modern India

The understanding of ‘home’ in Partition stories is as near to religiosity and ideological affinity, based on emotions and cultural associations which human beings have with their region, community and identity-sponsor as the physical house. Most people forgot their old social and cultural bondage that day when the 1947 India Partition took place, and millions were compelled to leave their homes. Partition literature unfolds the kind of loss by showing how ‘home’, what was once a heaven, turns out to be a space of division, alienation and in many cases remembrance.

Themes in the Concept of “Home” in Partition Literature
Loss and Displacement
There is paradigmatic dramatization of how dislocation affects people by presenting a paradigmatic example of how they are stripped off all that is familiar. The authors describe, indeed rather pain-fully, how the house becomes a place inhabited by strangers…a home becomes a source of suffering. So, the old notion of home as a stable, steady, and secure location to which one returns at the end of the day shifts and changes with the uns secure and perpetually on the move.

Memory and Nostalgia
For many Partition witnesses, the home was left behind – and it is a place of memory and desire. Most of the literature under discussion idealizes the life that was leading pre partition and searching for the lost homeland. Shmo aims at the construct of a physical house that everyone can go back to, which however is merely an imprint in the writers’ head.

Identity and Belonging
Home’ as Opiah maintains is often tied with identity in Partition literature. Famine, war and the demands of new homes that have to be built affects characters’ identity in the works. Many authors talk about how, in the line after Partition, individuals try to shear new existence and how memories of the original home serve both as a source of solace, a refuge and a constant reminder of a fractured entity.

Division and Alienation
A family is being driven apart; one community is being split away from another, an ideology of home is division; interreligious political discourses which are prevalent during this time narrate more about the ways in which shared homes and neighborhoods were being divided and people regarded the other as stranger.  It brings about some sense of dislocation not only by the physical home but from the neighbors, friends, and loved ones left behind as well.

Survival and Resilience
However, the comprehension of Partition literature also encompasses tales of human potential in endurance. The description of fire and the broken walls and homes and the ability to construct something anew helps to comprehend the character of people’s instinct for survival. Although the meaning of ‘home’ is changing and getting rebuilt, the passion for new grounds is a testament for surviving.

Examples of some partition literature include:
Hopes for the survival of Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh, Amrita Pritam’s Pinjar and Bhisham Sahni’s Tamas elaborate these features. These writers build an interface through different characters to express how people bear the separate loss of homes and selfhood, representing the residual pain and suffering trough the Partition.

Partition literature, therefore, employs a fairly conservative concept of ‘home’ as an emblem to comment on displacement, memory, self & survival at one of the worst acts of human history. Through these stories, the reader is afforded the opportunity to think upon the interrelation of home, self, and community and that ‘home’, like the self, is as much a condition as it is a house.

Indian administrative polices are numerous and broad ranging to address a variety of policy measures for proper administration, disclosure, social uplift and growth. Here is an overview of some of the important policies:

1. Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005: This act allows the citizens freemen and women to demand information from the government departments for purposes of exercising accountability. It facilitates the disclosure of information by availing the records of the government to the public, thus eradicating corruption, and increasing the intelligence of the people.

2. Public Distribution System (PDS): The aim of this policy is to sell rice and wheat and kerosene at subsidized rates through about three lakh fair price shops. It keeps the nation fed especially for the vulnerable groups and also decreases the rate of hunger.

3. Digital India Policy: This policy turned India into digitally capable country & offered such steps of eradicating & enhancing virtual tools like governance initiatives, enhancing the digital knowledge, & effective governance access.

4. GST Policy: This will be an integrated indirect tax structure since it will eliminate several taxes; it will ease the mechanism of compliance; it will reduce the cost of compliance; and it will further enhance the movement of goods from one state to another.

5. Reservation in admission in Central educational institutions and in the services under the Central government for the SCs, STs, and the OBCs. They are given as, Efforts to redress historical imbalances to achieve the goals of growth for all persons as among the objectives contained in the policy.

6. Environmental Policy: Some of the laws and guidelines that make the policy include protection of natural resources, checkpoint on pollution and development of sustainable policies. It is done for industries and there are repercussion of noncompliance with policies of environment clearance.

7. Labour Welfare Policies: These are legal provisions that guaranty the employee’s rights relating to wages structure, remunerations, and conditions of service, and social security privileges.

They are the foundations of bureaucracies in India, which support the government in its process of social justice, economic growth, and good stewardship.

Administrative policies are clearly and effectively communicated in an organization so that the employee has full knowledge about the issue and always reminded of those. A contract is signed by newly hired employees through which at the time of enrollment they are explained what corporate policies are; they receive a policy on paper by giving it into the company policy handbook or some resourceful manner. A cycle of training or workshop is conducted periodically to enhance the knowledge, especially for sensitive areas such as ethics or safety or conduct.

For constant reactivation strategies, an organization may employ email newsletters, intranets and bulletin boards to make constant policy announcements and alerts. Managers also help to disseminate information and also respond to questions during team meetings. Furthermore, employers can demand that employees write down their acceptance by signing receipts that will show that they have read and agreed to be bound by the respective policies. Several types of tests—quizzes or even comment cards—administered at set intervals merely serve to measure how much one learns and keeps everyone abreast of the company’s norms to which they are supposed to conform.
