In 1991, Bapsi Sidhwa was the recipient of Sitara-i-Imtiaz, Pakistan's highest honor in arts bestowed upon a citizen.

In this paper I shall focus on the collaboration between two artists who have created two acclaimed artistic results: the novel Cracking India by Bapsi Sidhwa, and Earth, its cinematic transposition directed. In an interview with Julie Rajan, who asks her why she wrote of events that took place in a distant past, she replies.
Unwilling to accept her fate, she becomes a catalyst for change in the widows’s lives. When her friend Kalyani, a beautiful widow-prostitute, falls in love with a young, upper-class Gandhian idealist, the forbidden affair boldly defies Hindu tradition and threatens to undermine the ashram’s delicate balance of power. This riveting look at the lives of widows in colonial India is ultimately a haunting and lyrical story of love, faith, and redemption.
