<p>Discussion on a literary theme with a distinguished Guest</p>

Discourse with Rajiva Verma

Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction

It is an engaging discussion  on the topic of 'Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction' between Prof. Rajiva Verma -being the host, and Prof. Vandana Singh, the guest speaker who is an eminent science fiction writer.

In the course of their discussion, it emerges that while science fiction has science of the story as central, speculative fiction enjoys greater freedom and may, therefore, encompass on all kinds of fantasies. 

The dividing line between the two , however, often gets blurred on account of both being the extension of reality and having the common premise of 'cause and effect' as true, for instance, in the case of 'magic'.
