WOMAN AND LAND: AN ECOFEMINISTIC STUDY OF UZMA ASLAM KHAN’S THINNER THAN SKIN
Full text linkThis study explores the relationship between environmental degradation and women's oppression via the lens of ecofeminism. This research offers insights into Pakistan's urgent environmental and social concerns within the framework of its socio-political and cultural milieu. A collective of like-minded individuals postulated that within transcultural and worldwide patriarchal customs, women and the natural world have a subservient and instrumental connection to men. They made clear the intrinsic connection between the planet's degradation and the subjugation of women. At the same time, they spoke out against both marginalization and environmental destruction. Their beginnings produced the theory of ecofeminism. Due of their close ties to the natural world, women play a major role in these fights. In this paper we explain the complexities of nature/woman links in greater detail in literature, particularly that written by female authors. These linkages are occasionally missed by theorists themselves. These writers address a variety of topics, including gender, class, and ethnicity; they show the good and bad sides of city living and urbanity; and—above all—they offer us an alternative conception of modernity that does not inevitably oppress the “other”. The present study is predicated on how some aspects of ecofeminism are portrayed in Uzma Aslam Khan's book Thinner than Skin. The researcher has gathered information from the chosen book and conducted a thorough analysis of the situations and characters in it. The narrator depicts female servitude at several moments throughout the book. In the chosen narrative, female characters continue to be the focus of discussion. The conversation revealed that every key component of ecofeminism is represented in the book's narrative. This research aims to investigate the origins and historical development of ecofeminism, consequently examining its key principles and proponents. The aim is to demonstrate how Ecofeminism challenges conventional wisdom and opposes the dominance logic and value dualism that serve as the foundation for the conceptual framework

NARRATING UNEVEN DEVELOPMENT IN A RECENTLY FORMED NATION: A CRITICAL STUDY OF SHAMSIE’S KARTOGRPAHY
Full text linkOver the past few decades, Pakistani literature in English, especially women's narratives, has garnered significant attention and acclaim. Pakistani women’s narratives do address themes like women's place in the society, political and social issues, and exploitation of women and/or the weaker and vulnerable individuals. The present study aims to explore the social, economic and political exploitation of the minorities as depicted in the selected novel and weaker groups in a newly established country Pakistan using Hetcher’s view of Internal Colonialism. The novel delves into the intertwined lives of two friends, Karim and Raheen, as they navigate through the complexities of the city's history and their own emotions. The classification of Pakistanis, as depicted in the novel, into locals and Muhajirs leads to uneven development in society, potentially resulting in unrest or civil discord. The study is significant because it throws light on how the supremacy of a powerful ethnic group over the weaker one within the realm escorts a country towards a civil war. The study also discusses how the partition of 1971 destroyed national unity or intrinsic nationhood in Pakistan
