The Fourth chapter titled as Post Colonial Solutions elucidates the novels in the light of new critical theories. Criticism bestowed on Khushwant Singh is conventional. Critics have not tried to read Khushwant Singh in the light new critical theories. It is because of the low profile fictional production of Khushwant Singh on the par with the evolution of Post colonial critical schools. From the perspective of Post Colonial criticism, Khushwant Singh is credited with exploring the past. His exploration of the past is evidenced as revelation of dichotomy of the past. A probe into the past of India retrieves the reasons for the prolonged and unsolved the communal problems. From the
Post Modern perspective, the characters in the novels taken up for nature. The Post Modern analysis of the novels has established the perspective that the credit of transforming the meta narrative of communal history into mini narrations goes to Khushwant Singh. Feminist perspective is applied to make uncomfortable critical observations towards the attitude of Khushwant Singh for women. The characterisation of Women in Khushwant Singh’s fiction is sensual, obscene and humiliating to the most extent. The chapter has examined Why Khushwant Singh has portrayed women on these lines. In Train To Pakistan the depiction of Haseena and Nooran is on these lines. InI Shall Not Hear the Nightingale, Champak is in the usual sexual depiction. The depiction of Sabhrai is a saving grace. The way that this particular aspect is examined in this chapter justifies the anger of feminist critics against sensual portrayal of women by Khushwant Singh. Bakhin’s ‘dialogism’ and ‘Carnivalism’ are applied to these two novels only the justify the complete realisation of dialogism in the very Interaction of the characters. Sher Singh is proved as a Carnival hero. All the characters that pooh poohed the tradition are understood as Carnival characters in the light of Bakhtinian theory. The novels are perceived as creating the effect of ‘defamiliarisation’ on the readers justifying Viktor Schlosvky’s critical concept. The Derridian notion that there is nothing outside the Text and every context is a ‘Co Text’ is also illustrated and justified in the light of Deconstruction and Reader response theory.
