Final Solution - Manik Bandopadhyay

 ✓Mallika is framed within the economy of patriarchal gaze on the other hand she is also burdened by her family responsibilities and liabilities. She has use value. She is also a refugee woman who cannot be counted as citizen with the political stage of acceptance. She cannot access the judicial institutions. It made her susceptible to comodification. She is a victim in a certain sense. Her possibility of emancipation and agency in the modes of production are based on her exchange value. She must commodify her sexuality for emancipation. She seems to be very much aware of it like the omniscient narrator. ✓Malika could sense everything which was happening around her. 

✓The diactomy of men and women crumpled with partition. 

✓Her body is only the possibility through which she can assert herself. 

✓Meke Rakha Tara, Subonto Rekha - Movies about politicisation of women. 

✓Chatterjee's idea of home and the world which gave agency to woman 

✓Mallika is located in the economy of desires. It is also a movement when the ideals of motherhood gives way to the agency of feminine. It is a over nurtured philosophy of patriarchy to subjugate women. The spaces which were considered spaces of off limit but now become places of emancipation. The whole idea of family has helped patriarchy and it's ethos to flourish. The family structure in the story is dismantling, her husband doesn't have economic control . And this dismantling is taking place within the home. The home becomes the focus here. In the state of homelessness te the family is dismantled then comes woman as an ultimate redeemer of family. Partition is an ambiguity. On one hand it is a tragedy which was violent towards the female body . At the same time it is seen as a period in history at which the patriarchal subjugated women got chance to come out and cherished the possibility of emancipation. 

✓The partition here is not only a socio economic calamity but also a ethical state of exception too. This transition from being a protected women to a prostitute - she is appearing as a post modern subject. But she failed to consider the fact of Promotho as a client, the sudden change of him being to her saviour to a client disturbed her. 

✓Unconditional objectification of her sexuality. The moment she killed him it was the moment dehumanisation for her. She her got some possibilities of emancipation after killing him. 

✓The feminine self is seeking to transcend all forms of oppression ideological and ethical both. Both ideology and ethics are in material for her. 

✓Within the descursion limited of, women has essentially survived as the other, a relative being ' to a man and masculinity ' which has been been a category as primordial as consciousness itself. 

✓Gerda Lerner in her the creation of patriarchy points out that history is the essence of civilization and the process of history making has largely being a practice of the systemic exclusion of women. Her act of killing is inhuman but this departure from humanity can only emancipate her from commodification. This is the only way she can transcend the economies of oppression. Her body then becomes final solution to her state of exception which partition has ushered her into such kind of solution. 

✓Her agency is derived and contingent it is not natural whereby post Partition women like Mallika didn't become the sovereign subject rather she becomes someone who is conditioned by the politico-social. Celebration of deviant femininity is there which legitimise her final solution. 

✓Struggle of displaced people has also affected succeeding generations. They suffered from a uncanny idea of absence and presence. They lost home but idea of home is still there in their memory. 

✓When they entered the house their was a sense of joy, jealousy, safety and excitement. 

✓Pablo Josh- The dilemma of diaspora, partition and refugees and the whole idea of home. Refugees diasporas may indeed be a group of people forced by conflict or persecution to flee lands and homes to which they have to long standing political, economic and cultural ties. But it is more often " homes" that are left behind rather than " nations" coz nation is a ideological structure.
