Human Emotion as Resistance to Displacement. In “The Submerged Valley” By Manoj Das

Author(s) Parameswar Behera
Country India
Abstract Sudden expulsion of a society brings grief and fear and also evokes the personal sentiments in human mind which prevails them to resist the process of rehabilitation. The human feelings of love for their native land and the fear of rootlessness is found in the story" The submerged valley " by Padmashree Manoj Das. He elaborates the longing of villagers for their native land. The voice of the child narrator who is also a victim of exile brings out the felling of nostalgia in the story. He is successful to evoke sympathy by portraying the resistance of people. Although in rational point of view the rehabilitation has its significance for development and new beginning with new opportunities but the deep rooted human feelings and emotions plays a crucial role in the story which stands against the process of development and modernisation. The writer neither resists development nor support it, he just examines the human emotion related to relocation. The deep rooted beliefs of ancestors and holy places with deities stands one by one as protestors. The paper aims to bring out the deep rooted human emotion related to the past and the place. The personal sentiment show the land valuable and holy no matter it is sacred or profane. The purpose of the study is to examine the inner feeling of inhabitants. The failed protest of villagers and the emotional character Abolkara who is reluctant to leave the valley even after it is submerged give the clear picture of human emotion in the story. By analysing the characters and their point of view we reach to the conclusion that arousal of human emotion is natural in the period of displacement .
