A Penetrative Look into Ajneya’s Novel Shekhar:Ek Jiwanee as an Open Novel
In the novel Shekhar: Ek Jiwanee (Part-I) the life of Shekhar is projected from his childhood rolling down to adolescent period and later on to his attaining of youth and in the Part-II of the same novel he is drawn to that field of life wherein he faces the rough and tough struggles that come to him while facing the complexities of the then society. The free movement of the characters of the novels concerned in the light of the modern concept of life arising after or during the period running from the beginning of the Second World War which totally changed the orthodox beliefs of the then Indian society. The beginning chapter of the novel Shekhar: Ek Jiwanee introduces us with Shekhar who has been convicted of death sentence for his offence, the reason of which is not clearly disclosed by the author till the end of the last episode of the second part of the novel concerned is also left unexplained to the readers, which is a big question mark for us and as research workers it has come to our mind that the author might have the intention to go for another part of the novel in question because the sending of Shekhar to Lahore does not give us the clue what happens next in his life after staying over there and the author did not make it clear as to why his second part of the same novel did not have a concrete ending for the fulfillment of the readers’ inquisitiveness. This is one of the novel in Hindi literature which able to reach an additional height from the view point of modern and open novel.
