লেখক :পারভীন আহমাদ প্রকাশনী :দি ইউনিভার্সিটি প্রেস লিমিটেড(ইউ পি এল) বিষয় :জীবনী, স্মৃতিচারণ ও সাক্ষাৎকার পৃষ্ঠা : 216, সংস্করণ : 1st Published, 2017 A memoir of a true Southasian,Under the Same
Sky narrates a deeply personal experience of the transformation of the Indian
subcontinent through the greater part of the 20th century,tinted with the hopes
and dreams,sorrows and struggles of Perveen Ahmad and those close to her.
Witness to the dissection of an ancient land bound together by
history,tradition and culture,Perveen Ahmad was,in her own words,‘an alloy of
several cultures’,a quintessential example of the melding of peoples that has
long defined the Indian subcontinent. Her childhood was spent in a railway
colony in Allahabad,her formative years and early adulthood spent in Lahore,in
the newly born country of Pakistan. And finally,she chose to become a citizen
of Bangladesh,accompanying her Bengali husband,the renowned playwright Sayeed
Ahmad,to the newly liberated nation and making it her own through her activism
and entrepreneurial work for women’s empowerment. This memoir,not unlike the
author herself,is an alloy. It is at once a historical narrative of some of the
most defining moments in the subcontinent’s formation,a lyrical journey through
the life of a woman with some singular experiences and a thoughtful rumination
on culture,identity and self-expression in the context of the subcontinent by a
keen,insightful mind and an empathetic soul. Under the Same Sky will attract
readers interested in different historical perspectives,personal memoirs
enlivened by unique experiences and those drawn to distinctive voices with
distinctive thoughts and views.
