Roots /Vinil Wilson

 Roots 

The short story "Roots" by Ismat Chugtai explains the relationship between Hindu and Muslim families and how the division of India breaks their relationship. The whole story shows the bond between the two families and the mother's love for her hometown. It also shows the impact of partition over Indian lives.

1. “Rivers of blood flowed”. These lines show how pathetic the situation of India where many were killed in that time.

2. “Deadly wound that it would fester for years to come”. shows how much pain people suffered after partition.

3. “Between these two flags there was a chasm mile wide”. Here the two families were once very intimate to each other. However, due to the separation of India, the families have separated and there was a mile-wide gap between these two families.

4. “Time passed on, but Amma stayed steadfast in here position like a banyan tree that stands upright through storms and blizzards”. Here all other family members expect Amma uprooted to newly formed Pakistan but she refuses and stays.

5. “India was operated upon the clumsy hands and blunt knives that thousands of arteries were left open”. Here colonial British power is personified us clumsy hands.

   Today I am going to introduce a new personality, who might be familiar to at least some of us. His name is Nick Vujicic.   Nick Vujicic is an Australian-American motivational speaker, born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of hands and legs. He was born in Australia and later he shifted to California. Basically he is a Christian evangelist.    The essence of all his speech is to "transform the worse into the best." In his autobiography,  he says that when he was born his mother was reluctant to see him. Later on they eventually accepted the fact that it was God's plan for their son.   He says about how he overcame obstacles in his life. Further, he adds that his  obstacles became opportunities. He says that a lot of students teased him. In spite of all those he could  complete his higher education successfully.   His words are to be noted in our hearts.  " When we lose hope we will lose our strength to live. " Willpower
