Revisiting her life, work and legacy, the essays explore a rich range of themes—from her dialogues with cinema, literature and cultural politics to her place within the Left imagination of the Bombay film industry. The collection also reads Chughtai alongside Sa'adat Hasan Manto and Ritwik Ghatak to illuminate the cultural memory of Partition, examines her depiction of the intimacy of the zenana as part of the history of the nation, probes her complex persona through psychoanalytic lenses, and reflects on her fiercely independent voice within the literary politics of the Progressive movement. Together, these essays offer a nuanced and compelling reappraisal of one of the most distinctive voices in modern Indian literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47859641843863,"sku":"9789369731596","price":455.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789369731596.webp?v=1780289236","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-the-name-of-ismat-chughtai-9789369731596","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
