Social consciousness in Raza Ali Abidi's travelogues

Keywords

Travelogue, Raza Ali Abidi, Social Consciousness, Behaviors, Trends, Education, Culture.

Abstract

There is a profound relationship between literature and society. A writer is an integral part of society, and societal behaviors and conditions influence the writer. Both the prosperity and the issues of a society impact a writer deeply. If the society is prosperous, the themes in a writer’s work will reflect that prosperity. Conversely, if the society is beset with problems, those issues will undoubtedly be present in the writer’s themes. A travelogue reflects a traveller’s observations and experiences during their journey. It includes the knowledge, insights, experiences, and emotions gathered during the trip. Some travel writers choose to travel to encompass all possible topics related to a particular region, using their perceptive consciousness to pen down subjects that come within their understanding. Raza Ali Abidi, for instance, travelled from London to the Indian subcontinent for exploration as this region is his own. He was well-acquainted with its culture, society, history, and social dynamics. These themes were ingrained in his consciousness. During his travels, he keenly observed and documented these topics. There is a significant diversity of themes in Raza Ali Abidi's works, and his social consciousness is noteworthy.
