Paper Details

This study paper aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the various good and negative effects of migration. On the one hand, this analysis explores the impact of migration on both individuals and communities. Conversely, this study explores the obstacles encountered by migrating families, namely those that encounter financial hardships or encounter problems in acclimating to unfamiliar socio-political contexts. The aforementioned issues are examined within the context of Professor Vikas Sharma's notable scholarly contribution, titled "Medicine: Light in Twilight." Professor Sharma's story is notable for its depiction of poignant and genuine narratives that encompass a wide temporal range, from the pre-partition era to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The inclusion of a comprehensive timeline serves to effectively captivate readers' attention and maintain their interest throughout the tale. Significantly, the narrative consciously avoids the tendency to idealize or romanticize, instead striving to authentically portray the intricacies of modern-day society. The primary focus is on portraying the actual and authentic facets of existence, so facilitating readers in acquiring a thorough comprehension of their environment. The literary work showcases a wide range of individuals from various generations, each of whom assumes a meaningful role. The roles of individuals can be subject to critical analysis, providing insights into their individual contributions and their broader influence on societal standards and prevailing ideas. This research aims to elucidate the diverse manifestations of adversity encountered by male protagonists, encompassing affliction, displacement, estrangement, banishment, existential dilemmas, maltreatment, solitude, as well as societal and economic upheavals. The aforementioned problems are examined within the framework of upholding notions of honor and dignity. This study investigates the experiences of a family who underwent relocation, resulting in the abandonment of their community, land, and business. This study examines the potential utilization of these problems as a powerful mechanism for the family to reconstruct and reinstate their perception of self and honor within the societal framework of their unfamiliar environment. Professor Vikas Sharma has adeptly portrayed the experiences of individuals, regardless of gender, who have encountered substantial challenges due to their decision to go from one place to another in search of an improved and more peaceful life.
