The ghosts of Mrs. Gandhi

Amitav Ghosh announced an incredible essay in the riot in Delhi after the assassination of his wife Indira Gandhi. This paragraph on violent writing is very striking to me.

"Decide all as aesthetic phenomena - completely avoiding good and true problems - an artistic decision, this decision begins in the art world and continues to be a feature of the modern world"

In his article "The Ghost of Lady Gandhi" (New Yorker, July 1995), Amitaf Gosh introduced the reader to Bosnian writer Dževad Karahasan and his "extraordinary article on literature and war" (published in Sarajevo) To do. "From City Exodus") This creates an amazing relationship between contemporary literary aesthetics and indifference of violence in the contemporary world "Ghosh continues to quote Karahasan: Ghosh eventually ended up with his own long Destroyed by the publication of his paper in 1995 which quotes silence lost, this is a description of the public's reaction to the terrible massacres of the Sikh community in New Delhi in 1984 - the body of her Sikhs Because the guard assassinated Indian Prime Minister Gandhi it will get revenge. According to Kalhassan, Gauche explains this silence and explained that it is an artistic decision that "the decision to treat everything as an aesthetic phenomenon is to completely avoid good and true problems."

In another older article, "Ghost of Lady Gandhi", Ghosh himself became part of action. Gosch, which explains the influence of Indiana Gandhi assassination by the Hindu mob and subsequent Sikh killings, wrote that the role in securing the safety of the Sikhs is incredibly too late. They may be the target of the wrath of the mob. However, despite the drama of this sentence, the core of this article is a massacre of small resistance by ordinary citizens.
