    In his text “The Hiddenness of God”, Robert McKim begins with an allegory about an isolated community who had little remaining memory of interaction with other people groups. Only a few of the oldest members could faintly recollect the stories of once belonging to a great empire and being ruled by a great emperor, but the young and most of the old dismissed these ancient stories. An emissary arrives one day declaring that the old stories are true and that this “Hidden Emperor” requests “loyalty, trust, and obedience” (282) in exchange for protection and assistance. McKim the uses three characters to personify the possible responses to this “Hidden Emperor”. The old woman believes that the uncertainty regarding the emperor’s existence provides freedom to choose whether there is an emperor, and that this otherwise unavailable choice is preferable to (factually proven) information that is “forced on us”(282).…

Avicenna: Avicenna, by contrast, does not say anything about radical doubt; rather, the point is something about the soul and the way it relates to the body.…

Ghosh deals with silence in great detail and explores its various connotations both in The Calcutta Chromosome and in The Hungry Tide.…
