Bridging Cultures: A Comparative Study of Modern Arabic and Assamese Narratives and Their Cultural Roots

Abstract

This research paper explores the intersection of modern Arabic and Assamese narratives, examining how each tradition reflects and shapes its respective cultural context. The study highlights common themes, narrative techniques, and the socio-political influences that define these regions’ literary expressions by analyzing key stories from both literary traditions. Through a comparative lens, the paper investigates how modern Arabic and Assamese writers use storytelling to preserve, question, and evolve cultural identities. The impact of historical, religious, and political shifts on the development of these literary forms is also explored, alongside their resonance with contemporary global concerns. Though rooted in different historical and cultural settings, Arabic and Assamese literatures offer valuable insights into the human experience, addressing universal themes while celebrating regional distinctiveness. The research aims to foster a deeper understanding of how literature bridges diverse cultural perspectives, emphasizing the role of storytelling in shaping societal values, challenging norms, and evolving identities. Ultimately, this paper contributes to a richer understanding of how literature transcends boundaries, offering new perspectives on the universality of human experience in the face of changing global realities.
