Project Proposal On "My Feudal Lord" Published By: Bantam Press Author: Tehmina Durrani

This project proposal outlines a group assignment to read and review the memoir "My Feudal Lord" by Tehmina Durrani. The group will obtain a copy of the banned book, take turns reading it over 3-4 days, then meet to discuss its key ideas, provide an abridged summary, and analyze its strengths and weaknesses. Coordinating their schedules may be challenging as members have other academic commitments. Being five individuals with differing perspectives, they also risk conflicting views that could make rational analysis difficult in their final review.

I-Background

"My Feudal Lord" concerns the memoirs of its creator, Tehmina Durrani. As we see
her “break the tradition of silence”, we are exposed to sketches of pain and
burdens of guilt shared by millions of women in feudal societies. Not only this, the
book takes us into a detailed political insight of Pakistani Politics as the biographer
highlights the hypocrisy of ruling elites of our country.

II-Plan description

A-Get the book

B-Reading the book

C-Making a plan and discussion with group:

- a paragraph identifying the idea of the book, and if the writer achieves the
affirmed point of the book.
- One or two paragraphs abridging the book.
'My Feudal Lord' is divided into three parts respectively entitled as 'Lion of
Punjab’; ‘Law of Jungle' and 'Lioness', each conveying different aspects of
Tehmina’s life.
-One paragraph on the book’s strengths.
-One paragraph on the book’s weaknesses.
-One paragraph on our understanding of the book’s strengths and weaknesses…and
our views about the book.

D-writing the final review and finalizing it.

III- Particulars
-Reading: 3-4days.
-Discussion within the group: 2 hours.
-Working on the project: 4 hours.
IV-Comments

At first, all of us had different books in mind, all with different plots. Coming to
one book was pretty much easier said than done. Since all of us have cooperating
natures, we came to one conclusion. Secondly, My Feudal Lord is initially banned
because of the controversial issues it discusses. Therefore, it was difficult to
find it. Not every book stall sold a copy; luckily it was available in Urdu Bazar.
Moreover, the chapter lengths are very distressing. Each chapter covers a time
span of between two and seven years; hence there was a lack of reasoning. Also,
everyone has a different pace of reading…might serve as a distraction for our
work. Adding to these diminutive problems is the fact that we have our hourlies,
projects and assignment deadlines coming up. Our lives will be faster than usual.
Therefore, it would be pretty challenging to co-ordinate with group members on
our meetings. Adding to this, we are five different people, with different
personalities and a diverse intellect. We might have different views about the
book, which may be conflicting and wrong to the other. We might have issues being
rational in our book review essay.
