Domesticity is seldom approached by the scholars as an outlining or central agent in the social and political realm. To display a better route of doing so Haveli household system has been brought to question and to extract the defining elements of this architecture typology that contribute to the dynamics greater than the building itself. Belonging from an 18th century subcontinental era, this courtyard mansion offers a great deal of insight towards cultural meanings that shape the society that focuses on gender roles and symbolism of the created space. The style of architecture plays an additional and characterizing approach since it deals with the influence of the colonisers. Deeming Indo-Saracenic as the key ingredient of this specific house system, an evident power dynamics and acculturation forces come forth that explain the gradual transformation of the societal realm that deals with gender perception. Crucial elements of architectural space generated by haveli were analysed to have an integrated and deeper understanding of the household members that occupy the split space of public and private. The research more importantly, puts the lack of attention on the heritage of Sujhan Singh Haveli to question, nurture and stimulate further exploration of Haveli systems as generators of prevalent jurisdictions. In particular, the study aims to present a research model that encourages the necessity of a more comprehensive evaluation of this and similar structures by drawing attention to Sujhan Singh Haveli, which is a very valuable cultural heritage element for the region, where the necessary conservation studies and extensive research are not carried out today.

In this paper, I will read Butler from the perspective of the Heidegger of Being and Time and claim that what Butler's philosophy suggests is the radical dependency of one's freedom on the cultural resuscitation of socially murdered racial, sexual, ethnic, religious, an...
