Abstract

This study explores the interplay of religious festivals, specifically Diwali and Eid, in shaping national and ethnic identity concepts within Indian society. The objective of this research was to analyse how Diwali, predominantly celebrated by Hindus, and Eid, central to the Muslim community, contribute to both national unity and ethnic distinctiveness in India. Using a qualitative comparative study approach, archival research and media content analysis were conducted to examine the broader socio-political narratives surrounding these festivals. Findings revealed that Diwali is closely tied to the construction of Hindu identity and is often intertwined with Indian national identity, promoting a sense of unity. Eid, on the other hand, reinforced ethnic and religious identity among Muslims, fostering community cohesion while simultaneously highlighting the complexities of belonging within the larger national framework. The study concludes that both Diwali and Eid play critical yet contrasting roles in shaping India’s multi-layered identity, with Diwali promoting a homogenizing national identity and Eid emphasizing religious distinctiveness.

Abstract

Allegory, as a sensory mode of imagination and an advanced form of simile, functions in mystical literature not only as a vehicle for conveying metaphysical meanings but also as a subtle medium for reflecting social realities. This study aims to examine how allegorical expressions in the mystical poetry of Sanaee, Attar, and Rumi simultaneously communicate spiritual teachings and encode the socio-historical contexts of their respective periods. Employing a qualitative textual analysis and comparative literary method, the research analyzes selected allegorical narratives, symbols, and thematic motifs in major mystical works, focusing on the relationship between abstract mystical concepts and their concrete narrative representations. The findings reveal that although mystical literature prioritizes the supremacy of the unseen world over the material realm, the poets’ reliance on familiar stories, everyday imagery, and culturally embedded symbols demonstrates a conscious engagement with the social experiences, ethical concerns, and intellectual climates of their audiences. Consequently, allegory emerges as a tangible simile through which abstract spiritual truths are made accessible, while simultaneously allowing readers to discern the poets’ social realities as refracted through personal mystical experience and collective cultural consciousness.
