v Introduction:-
Shame is more compact than other novels of Rushdie. It is a three dimensional novel- political, social and cultural. It is
a story of the rise and fall of three families, three sisters and three queens- Biquis, Sufiya and Naveed. The tree sisters are

LANGU
Shame is about what happened to the other half of the sub-content after 1947. It depicts the contemporary political
situation in Pakistan. The main plot of the novel revolves around the lives of Omar Khayyam Shakil and Sufiya Zinobia. The Select

its women beneath the intolerable burdens of honour and proprietary.
 v The identification between Omar’s life and the public life:-

The identification between the public and the private’s affairs is so complete in each of Rushdie’s novel that it is not S.N.

Send v Omar and Sufiya; products of Cultural Climate:-
The hero Omar and the heroine Sufiya Zinobia represent ‘Disorder of Pak society. They are products of the cultural
climate. Their violence seems to be blind and pointless, but is also illustrated well known historical truth about dictatorship rule
in Pakistan. They represents mob violence, a rumour, a beast the collective fantasy of oppressed people and a dream born of
their rage. Rushdie remarks, ‘Here you have to make connection between shame and violence. If you push the people

too far and if you humiliate them too much then a kind of violence bursts out of them.”
He tries to highlight transcultural relationships between and individual and the historical forces. About Pakistan’s
history he bitterly remarks, “It is history was old and rusted. It was a machine, nobody had plugged in for thousands of years,
and here all of a sudden. It was being asked for maximum out put”

v Omar: Representative of novelist’s ego and satirical venom

S.N. Hingu In “Shame”, the role of Omar Khayyam is quite identical with that of Saleem Sinai in “Midnight’s Children”. Both
represent the novelist’s ego and satirical venom against filthy politics of India and Pakistan. Both are supremely grotesque
View my complete profile vehicles for linking fanciful family-tale and murky political history. Through Omar’s character, Rushdie mercilessly attacks the
so-called political leaders like a wolf or wolf child. His unnatural surroundings make him suspicious of what he himself calls the
corpses of his useless, massacred history. Raza call such a history ‘a rite of blood’ and his wife, Biquis, grows suspicious of it
Total Pageviews and pushes it away like a poor relation.

4 0 3 9 7 1 v Conclusion:-
Through Omar’ character, Rushdie shows the significance of the past in an individual’s life. He remarks, “What you
were forever who you are. Most of what matters in your life takes place in your absence.” That way, he has made a sincere
effort in this novel to explore bi-othicity and bi-culturalism. In “Grimus”, the character named Ignatius Quasimodo Gribb defines
Home race-memory as “the sediment of highly concentrated knowledge that passed down the ages, constantly being added
to and subtracted upon. “
