Impact of Cultural Differences: A Qualitative Analysis of Hijam Anganghal’s ‘Jahera’

Abstract

Culture plays an important role in defining the identity of people. It is the core foundation of people and helps in determining even the origins.  Almost everything can be extracted through this and with a deep understanding of one’s culture, respect and unity can be preserved. Peace, harmony, and identity are the things that have existed among people, and due to little understanding of this; conflict can happen. So, it is important to understand one’s identity first and the rest will follow. This study aims to address this issue that causes conflicts between the two groups in the book Jahera by Hijam Anganghal Singh. The proposed study “Impact of Cultural Differences in Jahera by Hijam Anganghal Singh” aims to analyze and identify cultural differences. The pre-shaped norms that have been created in an attempt to influence the people are the key element in determining this study to be of value. I will analyze and investigate the impacts of the differences in culture that exist within the novel. It is the crucial study of Hijam Anganghal Singh’s novel to showcase the numerous elements of cultural identity. It is also the exploration of differences within a society and the effects of it.
