Abstract

It is history which defines, creates, and eliminates boundaries. The novels show how geographical boundaries at times lead to cultural differences which in turn create hatred among people. The loss of a saint’s relic in Kashmir triggers off riots in Pakistan. If history has created and named nations, it has also conditioned them into viewing each other differently and with feelings of antagonism.. It defines nations, cultures, and people only in terms of totalities, creating homogeneous modes of nationalism or freedom as in Shadow lines.
