  • Abstract:
  • The paper attempts to show how Tahmima Anam's A Golden Age subtly takes the readers back to revisit the history of what happened after the colossal partition of British India in 1947 followed by the creation of the states of India and Pakistan, and how the then East Pakistan's Bengali population felt betrayed and dismayed by the mistreatment of the West Pakistani successive regimes. It also aims to establish the post-partition general disillusionment of East Bengali people as the root cause of the political turmoil that ultimately resulted in the creation of Bangladesh as a sovereign independent country in 1971. The article views the valiant activities of the central characters in the narrative as a struggle for national identity under hostile circumstances and critically analyzes their discontents and striving for identity from a post-colonial standpoint. It specifically deals with the identity issue of the female protagonist because of her non-native background. To do this, the paper sheds considerable light on the migration, displacement and refugee crisis during the partition as well as the Bangladesh liberation war times, and tends to relate them to similar contemporary global problems.
