var queryString = $('.form1').formSerialize(); 
 $.post('book/create/', queryString);

But if i submit form without ajax then image gets uploaded by django function

Now the problem is , it is ignoring the file fields. what should i do

You cannot upload files using XMLHttpRequest (AJAX).But you can try using some of the Ajax JQuery plugins to upload files
