It’s very difficult to know exactly the root causes of a restrained mind. In global context different minds are embraced with different cultures, different habits, tastes and mind sets. Diversity in mixed culture sometimes represents a volatile state. Politics can work as balancing act in such a situation but most of the time it seems confused or rather becomes selfish in its own terms and conditions. Too good and seriously bad nuisances mostly occur. What does multi-culture produce? World literature portrays many moods of multi – cultural society in its own way. A balancing act is always required in multi-cultured society but when it fails an endangered situation strikes out peace and harmony. Terrorism is nothing but an imbalance of a deformed mental stature mostly a cancer of mosaic culture. Present article is a small effort of searching out the actual situation of multiculturalism in context of world literature through analytical looking glass. I dare. Dare to speak about fatal hazards of multiculturalism, a completely different sort of genre in context of literature. Past few decades it has acquired gradual importance in this global village. Feeling of ethnocentrism is a much relative term in courtyard of multiculturalism. It is the notion that one‘s culture is more sensible than or superior to that of other societies. If we think at its worst ethnocentrism has led people to commit ethnocide, the destruction of cultures. Superior feeling and too much aggressiveness is dreadful in ethnocide and genocide is bedfellow of it, the destruction of entire race. As we know that worst examples are too many in black pages of history which are no doubt very excruciating. Holocaust, the complete destruction of Jews in Europe by National Socialist German Workers' Party i.e. „Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei‟, or NSDAP, commonly called Nazi party is shameful and terrifying example of genocide. The movement was culminated with the establishment of Third Reich, the totalitarian German state led by the dictator Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. It remains always center of interest for world‘s renowned filmmakers and films like „Atonement‟, „The truce‟, „The Boy in the striped pyjamas‟, „Paragraph175‟, „Schindler's list‟, „Night and fog‟, „Life is beautiful‟, „Defiance‟, „Amen‟, „Europa europa„, „Black book‟, „Sophie Scholl: The Final Days‟ there are endless in list. Each one is scrivener of genocide, the fatal hazard of multiculturalism. Ideological perspective may be politicized and may express harsh reactions. In that case cruel one can be represented as peacemaker in text book of school; people at ruined situation away from their native land can be politically provoked for extreme agitation so that they can extricate their rights, sometimes birthright after facing extrusion. But this ideological prologue can reproduce ethnocentric behavioral fallacy and some ever never changeable disorder in human psychology. Bengal after partition has faced certain kind of sustainable ethnocentric nonsense which can never be solved due to untamed minds but that demands few more words for analysis. Multi-culture, mixed-culture, cross-culture there are many terms to express this transitional volatile state. It has made its room in various literatures sometimes dominantly and sometimes in recessive mode. Usually in social anthropology the matter is exemplified many a times by salad bowl containing a mixture of different vegetables, and sauce or sometimes by mixture of baked crunchy rice grains colloquially termed as ̳Muri‘. Imagine for a while that a cloth covers two square feet areas. In this situation if anyone tries to stretch it forcefully, cloth will be ruptured into several small pieces. Now multi-coloured pieces of cloths can be stitched for covering aforesaid area but a definite question may arise in mind that how strengthen it will be? Now focus on these small pieces of multi-coloured cloths. Improper dyes may release pigments and make dark stain and spreading out on entire cloth it may make a mess. Multi-coloured cloth can be compared with multi-cultural society. Within larger social order among various communities, diversity not always allows sober matching like dark stain on multi-coloured cloth. It is very difficult to draw a definite conclusion on future of multiculturalism; the ever changing socio-political situations always make uncertainty. There are several supportive examples of socio-political turmoil available in world literature. The etymology of multiculturalism definitely stands on those unpredictable changes. Most of the time it becomes very necessary to search out the root causes of multiculturalism from where its future can be guessed. The verb guessed is used here because there are several conditions, factors, barriers which make it more abstruse. Satisfactory cultural blending demands mental strength of sufficient adaptability, broadness of mind, tolerance in a required time frame. Otherwise apart from all gender biasness it can be said that it will be more abstruse to remove dark stain which occurs from implication of multilayered, multicolored diversity in society. Dark stain may be communal holocaust, riot, religious indifference and last of all terrorism, another endemic of present diversified society. Social Unleashed Multi-culture on Untamed mind: An effect www.iosrjournals.org 7 | Page anthropologists can enlighten us more about it but language of literature can portray these unwilling situations in its own manner. Boiling pot Worsen situations happen many a times repeatedly to fulfill ̳self‘ or for unanimous collective interest. Day to day terrors have made certain imprint in public mind, terrorism has earned everyone‘s attention right from media personnel to common people and also of financial market. Literature lovers and authors, fine weavers of words, meanings and expressions are quite obviously no more any external entity. They are much concerned about this perturbed society as particles in boiling pot. So it is most unfortunate for us that discussing about terrorism one of the multi-cultural hazards is nothing but rewinding terrifying memories of past through literatures. Unfortunate because it can never be stopped by literal criticisms! Though it seems a gradual habit of adapting ineffective sense (blunt??) through literature which representing the hard core reality. The factuality wrapped by different colorful terms to hide our shameful faces or facts to avoid highly sensational and sentimental massacres and casualties and for maintaining communal harmony. How ridiculously strange behavior of mankind it is? But still literature portrays effect of multi culture or Cosmo culture or cross culture which may be the term that bypasses the true fact, the straight note, that hard talk. It elucidates the root meaning of terror and non-ethical (or ethical?) terrorism. Question may appear that is there any ̳ism‘ at all in terror truly? That is another good topic of debate. But it can be said always with open mind at any open forum that compact bonding of literatures, literary criticisms, and debates on multicultural hazards like terrorism can never be permanent solution until we make habit of looking back at grass route level for searching the ultimate cause of terrorism. Literature can act here only as looking glass. What sort of truth then may come out? One of the answers is much known to everyone. Yes, never ever ending selfishness. Limitless uncontrolled ego, rigidity, greediness, aggressiveness, contradictions, conspiracies and violence are abject wings of inhumane approach. From psychological point of view this dilemma, the mediocrity of human attitude might be root cause of such delirium termed as terrorism. Many of us who are still alive have witnessed terrifying destruction of 9/11 in USA or 26/11 in India once or twice in a lifetime and those who are not are really lucky enough. But there are many riots more violent than 9/11, happened in British India, British Africa and other countries those who were affected by colonial rules. Those are really vast chapters of history and nostalgic outcomes of literature. In country like India there are many such incidents where terrorism in musk of colonialism ruled over brutally for more than 200 years. That was not a matter of a day or a night. British may be offended but they cannot tamper the history of abominable despotism of East India Company. Eminent Historian, social activist, women‘s rights and democratic activist, former professor of The University of Delhi Smt. Uma Chakraborty has recalled her memoirs in book “Making a difference : Memoirs From The Women‟s Movement In India” about witness of colonial rule at her age of 5 years and shivering trauma of partition. She has written – “By August 1947, there was mayhem in the streets. My brother and sisters literally „witnessed‟ a killing as a group of three Muslim men ran toward police station for shelter. Two got there, the third didn‟t; the terror of that killing changed my sister.., always-looking-over-her-shoulder kind of girl who never recovered from the shock of that murder. A routine illness with high fever had me crying, “Why are the Hindus and Muslims killing each others?” in my delirium.” 1 Such kind of delirium is flickering of provoked terror but surely in different manner. Famous novel „Pinjar‟ written by eminent Panjabi writer Amrita Pritam has drawn a portrait of unstable, hazardous and disturbed life of woman Puro resident of Chhattoani villege. Being from Muslim community she had gladly chosen Hindu fellow Ramchandra as her husband, her lifepartner firmly ignoring all social and racial conflicts and their limitations. In wider sense the title „Pinjar‟ (The Cage) indicates dual meanings, one is helpless, confined situation of women before and after marriage in pre and post independent India and another is turmoil in captive India, the incident of partition and aftermath.
