Independence by Chitra Banerjee Diwakaruni binds the reader in a spell. The narration is beguilingly informal and taut, while the story line is immense yet immediate. It is extremely rate that an author is established such a spontaneous rapport with an unknown reader. With this novel, Divakaruni family marks her territory among the foremost storytellers of this nation and of her destiny.
Independent tells the story of the birth of modern India. The demand for separate Islamic nation by Mohammad Ali jinnah-led Muslim League led to the Direct Action Day in August 1946. Shows of force by 2 communal groups escalated into a bloodbath in Kolkata, the fires of which rapidly spread to other places. Today this is India's one enduring political legacy and the horrors of partition are so profound that no survivor uttersits full description.
Diwakaruni's work of fiction is set in these uneasy times. Ranipur a small nondiscript village tucked away on the banks of River Sarasi, forms the backdrop to the deep friendship between the wealthy landlord Somnath Babu and Dr Nabakumar Ganguly, whose families are forever entwind by tragedy and the pain of loss. The cost of character is sparse yet weaves a heartbreaking tale of an entire region's history. What makes the narrative seep under the skin of the reader is that it is fundamentally a paean to love in the wake of which comes a churn human emotions-anger, rejection, jealousy-boundaries that may be broken or defeated by elation strength, responsibility, devastation and a reason to live despite it all. It is what binds this cast of characters and what wrecks their lives. So many tragedies could have been averted but the human heart longs for what it longs for and nothing may change that each character, spare and yet rendered almost in flesh, is luminous. Even the villains reach out the menace pages with the deaths and their are for too many of them are brutal. Each underlines the devastation of that moment in time and also the devastation being committed to an idea or cause may bring. The inferno of partition is not shied away from and it is extraordinary how the engaging style of writing sustains both the historic and the domestic, the catastrophic and the intimate.

Before the 1920s, film used to be silent with just the action on the scene along with subtitles. Come the decade of 1920 and the advent of new technology, the filmmakers had the possibility to synchronise a soundtrack with the action on the screen. This included dialogues, musical score and special effects. After this development, the movies were called talkies since the audience was able to hear the actors talk with each other. There was no stopping from then on and the next significant development was the introduction of colour. However, colour movies were somewhat slow to catch on, especially when compared to the addition of sound to the movie. Another reason for this slow acceptance of colour was the considerable developing and processing cost it entailed. With passing of time, and improving technology, the colour processing became as affordable as black-and-white films. More and more movies were filmed in colour to a point when the film makers did away with black-and-white films.
