How does this story achieve in significance in the light of a paticular local and historical settings in kabuliwala
Answers
Explanation:
Tagore’s short story the Kabuliwala is a migrant from Afghanistan living in Kolkata. How should we think of this as an example of migration of Afghans to other parts of South Asia?
The first point is that mobility and migration are very prominent themes in the history of South Asia. By mobility I mean internal, maybe urban to rural, or north to south, and these kinds of movements can be for a variety of reasons: they can be for pilgrimage purposes, cultural, religious, economic, political, trade, and personal. In fact, that was how the Mogul Empire functioned. It circulated administrators through the system to engage and control this movement of people, goods, ideas etc. which means mobility is an anchor theme in South Asian history.
