In this week’s readings, I feel more interesting of Buthalia Uvashi’s “Beginning”, which explores the idea of Borders are created and sustained not only by force, but also by history and memory. In this introduction, the author is standing in an empathetic and humanistic position to look at the question of partition. And I think it also not just the voice from the partition of India, but the shift of all colonial areas.
In facts when an area was colonized by conquer; it was not only changing the notions of territory, dominion or more external aspects, but also deeply changing the memory of people. And how deeply it changed depend on how many land the colonizers were conquer. And then a new notion of nationhood and border and frontier were created inevitably.
In the first question of “How have frontiers and borders been related to colonialism”, it is clearly that British colonizer divided India into two separate countries by their colonial process. When the British introduced their crucial colonial rules to the Hindus, drew the line of division, then created Pakistan, colonialism not only a kind of external aggressive instrumentality, but also follow by its historical meaning.
And for the second question, Buthalia Uvashi clearly explores that borders and frontiers are created by force and sustained by mythologies and by memory. And the evident to prove this idea I think, is the continues of enforce the boarder between India and Pakistan, or Hindu and Muslim, after the British colonial process. The new generation, obviously, is hard to touch, or stand in the situation of colonialism. The only way to show them a clear, comprehensive view of the past is memory. And this memory I think, sometimes followed by prejudice misapprehension and inevitably. Along with the movement of time, pass through generation and generation, these prejudice and misapprehension is likely to be fade from people’s mind, but it is more like the conception pf borders and frontiers will be sustained, deeply rooted to the newer generations.
Buthalia Uvashi states that Partition was not, even in her family, a ‘closed chapter of history’, but that ‘its simple, brutal political geography infused and divided us still.’ (Buthalia 2000 p. 5)
So, sometimes this situation could be though as “inevitable” and “tragical”, sustained follow by its unfortunate beginning.
