- Title
Representation of Parsi Culture and Identity in Bapsi Sidhwa's The Crow Eaters.
- Authors
Puri, S. G.
- Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the various intricacies of the Parsee's culture and identity. Apart from this, Sidhwa's engaging descriptions of the multiple facets of the life of Parsees,their rituals, their practices, remove the veil of secrecy which covered much of their activities and made them an object of curiosity to other communities. The approach of the writer behind articulating the ideas may be because of bringing them from margin to center. Bapsi Sidhwa can also be brave enough to risk criticism from her own community and do what she really believes- depict her community with a vision which sees not just the immediate future but a long term perspective.
