ABSTRACT

In India everybody is equal in front of the constitution. This liberty and impartiality are a gift of doctor Babasaheb Ambedkar. As the maker of the constitution of India, he tried to give liberty and equal opportunity to Dalits. He rejected the notion that God has made caste system as described in Manu smriti and other ancient Indian Vedic books. Dalits have suffered from centuries that's why they were note satisfied with equality in terms of political and economic but the demand for religious and creative activity was the main reason that they created a literature of their own.

Keywords Constitution, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Manu smriti, impartiality, liberty

ABSTRACT

Subaltern Consciousness is the major theme of the decolonized literature.Human mind and spirit are basically   free identities which resist external control and governance. Mahasweta Devi is one of the prolific women writers of India. She stands at the intersection of vital contemporary issues of politics, gender and class. Her concern is for the poor, landless from lower castes of eastern India. She has emerged as an important figure in the field of socially committed literature.The present research paper entitled The Reflection of Subaltern Voice in Mahasweta Devi’s novel “Mother of 1084” is an  attempt to examine the subaltern voice of that period. It explores how the Naxalite Movement brings two subaltern mothers instead of class barriers. It’s a saga of the Naxalite resistance in Bengal that through the character of Sujata and Nandini, her powerful exploration of subjectivity voiced through the female characters, it’s a tragedy of political mothers and a person of a class barrier. This is a very sensitive and thought-provoking novel centered on a Young, Idealistic, Intellectual, student, Brati Chatterjee, who is treacherously betrayed to the police by a mole in his revolutionary group.

Keywords :- Subaltern Voice, Naxalite Movement, Death.

ABSTRACT

Indian folk literature holds out a strong and loud message for other parts of the world where these art forms have disappeared thick and fast in consonance with rapid industrialization and globalization. Folk literature and folk-art forms are not merely carriers of culture or philosophical poems, but rather the expressions of strong self-reflections and deep insights accrued therein. Simple life, self-reflection and treading the path of the righteous contained in traditions. Again, folk traditions are not merely platforms for holding high moral ground having no relevance to the present day reality. Most tribal communities in India are culturally similar to tribal communities elsewhere in the world. They live in groups that are cohesive and organically unified. The world of the tribal imagination, therefore, is radically different from that of modern Indian society. One of the main characteristics of tribal arts is their distinct manner of constructing space and imagery. In both oral and visual forms of representation, tribal artists seem to interpret verbal or pictorial space as demarcated by an extremely flexible ‘frame’. The boundaries between art and non-art become almost invisible. A tribal epic can begin its narration from a trivial everyday event; tribal paintings merge with living space as if the two were one and the same. And within the narrative itself, or within the painted imagery, there is no deliberate attempt to follow a sequence. The episodes retold and the images created take on the apparently chaotic shapes of dreams.

Keywords:  Industrialisation, globalization, self-reflections, cohesive, chaotic

ABSTRACT

Family occupies an important place in Narayan’s fiction. Whatever be the theme of his novels, almost all of them portray, as side issues, one or the other aspect of family life like son and parents relationship, father-son relationship, husband-wife relationship and kinship bond etc. The joint family system which survived through centuries is at last breaking up, under the pressure of modernism, the sense of kinship is still strong in Indian milieu. With intense sensibility and characteristic genius Narayan portrays this aspect of family life.

Key Words : R. K. Narayan, family, operative sensibility.

ABSTRACT

The poetry of Pashupati Jha offers a quality read with every new publication, that shows a  perfect blend of tradition, culture, and modernity. He belongs to the school of thought that represents the values and ethics of India. His poetry comes out of his specific emotional response, and through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. They make up for a vast subject as old as history, and even older, present everywhere, possibly in different forms of human behaviour itself. The present paper offers a firsthand note on certain features of his poetry, and the thoughts therein concerning his seminal work Cross and Creation.

Key Words : Indian Poetry in English, Human Values, Ethics, Tradition, Cross and Creation
