Naipaul uses
the sharp imagesvery ironic tone
for Pakistan and Pakistani leaders as
he says; “it could be seen as a fragmented country, economically
stagnant, despotically ruled, with its gifted people close to hysteria
![Page 6: Ppt comp.lit](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/544fb018af7959c7398b6194/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• By giving a reference of an article in the Tehran times, Naipaul
asserts that Pakistan and Iran, both are using the logic of
religion to gain power because they are lacking behind in the
concerns of science, which is the ability to run a twentieth- century
state.
![Page 7: Ppt comp.lit](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/544fb018af7959c7398b6194/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• He gives ethnographic details e.g. “Iran, with a Population… while Pakistan, with twice the population, earns one hundred forty millions a month”. So, he
says that Pakistan’s economy is dwindling day by day and to
authenticate his argument, he gives examples of
advertisements in Dawn.

• He gives historical perspectives of foundation of Pakistan that it came in to being on the name of
religion• Besides, using his analytic skills
to convince the readers of his idea Naipaul also ignores the
influence of British rule • he also hides the injustices done
by British to Muslims of the sub-continent

• He further quotes his dialogues, with some natives of Pakistan, to prove
himself a seeker who is on the quest to search the truth and says that
people are still dissatisfied with their present conditions and faith.
• We see three characters caricatured by him• Poet
• Maulana• driver

all people talk about Islam but expect from others to do
assumptions in a quite ordered plan. He has chosen all those characters
that were without mystics or intellectual bent.

Naipaul used narrative authority in his writings in order to convince his
readers.
eye-witness experiences:
“and when I got to the circuit house, where I thought I was staying, there was trouble. Two civil servants greeted me and told me that… my booking has been cancelled.”
![Page 24: Ppt comp.lit](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/544fb018af7959c7398b6194/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

“Hyderabad _ a nondescript desert town with low, ochre distempered concrete
buildings baked…..the desert was waterlogged.”
he said that “the stone was heart shaped… people passed their hands over the stone, caressed it, and then brought their hands
to their lips and eyes, or touched their heart; or they appeared to hug
themselves.”
![Page 26: Ppt comp.lit](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/544fb018af7959c7398b6194/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Naipaul used particular travel writing strategies
In this chapter of the text he has used detailed ethnographic reporting
“beyond Hyderabad there were patches of cultivation; patches of scrub, patches of sand. The brightness hurt the heat hurt. Village dogs stood still in yellow waterlogged pools. We were
in one of the famous river valleys of early civilization. But there was no feeling of a valley”
![Page 27: Ppt comp.lit](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/544fb018af7959c7398b6194/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
fictional elements
The theme which he mostly discussed dealt with themes of poverty, desolation,
decay, inability and decadence
He presented totally negative imagery that is dark, sharp, dirty and filthy, not
pleasinghe said “the marble floor was grimy;
there were babies, and many fly, seeking always to settle on the floor and the
bodies.”

He used satirical tone in his text to
criticize others
“he said that the pir was out and
would be back in three hours. In
Pakistan the standard unit of stated
delay was half an hour; three hours
meant not that day”
