REPORT  

a) justify the mode of creative expression?

I have expressed my story through sketching, because I think am a little good in sketching and and I think story with pictures will make the readers interesting for them to read the story,as they read they can see the characters, places in the picture because without it readers only imagine pictures in their minds. I am confident that people will love my sketching and story along with it. Like the story in class text doesn’t say what is Toba Tek Singh or who is Toba Tek Singh ,so I decided  to assume Toba Tek Singh  as a person to the readers. This is the reason I chose this form of expression to narrate my story to the readers. I thought that sketching would be better than any other way because I think pictures or drawing attracts people’s attention a lot of time.

b) Why a creative mode of expression is important in historical reimagination?

I personally think and everyone would agree in this, that whenever we speak about history it becomes so interesting that our focus is only to know what happens next ,the intensity will even get higher if history is told in a creative mode of expression and it is important because ,each and every person should know about their country’s history or religious history etc and it is really important to present it in a proper manner, because of not doing so most of the people may feel bored during such times and it happens many a times and thus it is really important to present in a creative mode while we reimagine historical events ,like using different voices or using pictures or using short movies etc should be used while doing so that people do not lack interest while listening to such important topics.

c) Describe the historical context you have selected and who was involved or affected?

So in my story, the historic event that took place was the partition between India and Pakistan, because of which people got separated ,some went to India, some went to Pakistan and some stayed in the same place itself ,the partition took place in 1947 ,due to this partition many lost their loved ones ,like in my story Bishan Singh losses his beloved friend Toba Tek Singh because of which he falls into depression and after becomes mad and gets admitted into a mental hospital. Like Bishan Singh was very badly affected because of the partition and with him even his parents suffered a lot with him, as he was the only child they had and he becomes mental, they were really sad and were worried about him so much , atlast they decided that they can’t see their son on this condition so they decided to find Toba Tek Singh and bring both the best friends together so that their son might get well.

d) Discuss possible future ramifications: what could have been different?

If partition hadn’t took place , everything would be different ,I mean everything like they would be no Pakistan and the whole Pakistan and India would be one land and there won’t be any fight for Jammu and Kashmir and most important they won’t be any terrorism ,none of the people would have got seperated from there loved ones and like in my story without partition there isn’t any story itself , because Bishan Singh and Toba Tek Singh would have not been separated from each other and would have been together for their whole life and most important Bishan Singh wouldn’t have turned into a lunatic if partition hadn’t took place 

and even Bishan Singh’s parents would have lived happily ,there are many things that could have changed ,but no one can change what’s happened so we need to live with that.

THANK YOU.
