ABSTRACT

The Indian immigrants to the other countries suffer a crisis for their physical, psychological as well as cultural identities. Their occasional visits to their homeland put a question into their minds about their identity which should be based upon their rootedness in their homeland or they should associate it with identity earned in the acquired land. The prospect of high career and modern living often makes these Indian immigrants continue live in dual societies and inhabit multiple homes, roles, languages and identities.

ABSTRACT

Rakesh’s plays depict the real-life events and incidents of the contemporary Indian society. Most of the plays deal with the theme of love, sex and violence. It reveals anger and frustration of the post-1960 generation in the Indian context. The ideas implicit in the themes are revolutionary. They are opposed to the conventional norms and established values.

 Rakesh explores human mind and its complexities in all depth and variety. He presents man-woman relationship in terms of sensuality and violence rather than love and affection. Regarding marriage, the play Half Way House projects two types of views through the character of Mahendranath and Savitri: traditional view of marriage expecting male-dominance and marriage as a companionship and as a means for self-fulfilment.

ABSTRACT

The evidence of this study weighs against the common view of the relationship between Enlightenment and Romanticism (which usually admits their disjunctions and differences) to see affinities and analogous aspects. The study traces the Romantics’ awareness of the philosophical idea of Hobbes, Locke, and Hume and shows how the writings of these prominent philosophers, particularly, Hobbes’s theory of human desire, Locke’s concept of the will, and Hume’s view on morals and imagination, paved the way for the Romantics to formulate their own philosophy which is different to some extent but still has the strain of influence.

ABSTRACT

Kamala Markandaya and Jhumpa Lahiri have both written novels that bring together the cultures of the East and the West. Since both authors have written at least a novel each with multiculturalism in the background, it becomes interesting to see how each of them uses ideas of multiculturalism and how their novels compare on this point of reference. This article shows how Markandaya’s The Nowhere Man and Lahiri’s The Namesake use multiculturalism differently through their respective narrative techniques, plots and fictional discourses.

ABSTRACT

This paper starts from Petrachan dilemma and ending with one of the most acclaimed post-modern movies of our time. It focuses on the crisis created in the Shakespearean sonnets and how such unrequited love is subconscious fake.  The growing superficial reality is responsible for dissociation of the pragmatic rational approach. The realization happens and does not happen. The ‘Dasein’ or existence depends on experience and not on psychological maturity of a being. The movies provide a reference in more visual and fictional form rather than understanding the complex, metaphorical and the dynamic of the psyche. Kabhi Haan, Her and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind remains a handful of selection from a vast genre.

ABSTRACT

The roots of Indian English poetry were germinated from the mind of Henry Vivian Derozio and later other poets such as Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Manmohan Ghose, Aurobindo Ghose, Rabindranath Tagore, Toru Dutt, Sarijini Naidu etc. added new flavour in it. At the initial stage, Indian poetry germinated from the Bengali poets in nineteenth century. Many poets carried forward this bequest in twentieth century and some budding and award-wining poets have enriched Indian English poetry in twenty first century through their significant and award-winning works. Indian English poetry was flourished and fostered by many prominent poets such as Nissim Ezekiel, Mahashweta Devi, Vikram Seth, Dom Moraes, A.K. Ramanujan, Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre, Usha Akella, Tabish Khair, Gorima Basu, Bijoy Mishra, Kamala Das, Keki N. Daruwalla, Meena Alexander, Adil Jussawalla, Rajagopal Parthasarath, Vihang A. Naik, Meena Kandasami etc. Vihang A. Naik is one of the contemporary poets who has stirred the world through his poetic creation and he has achieved remarkable success to the extent that his poetry collection City Times and Other Poems (1993) has fetched Limca Book of Records. Vihang A. Naik’s poetry has many inveterate themes but present paper is a self-effacing attempt to analyse and restrict his poetry only through the analytical lenses of human body and carnal desires.

Key-Words: Human Body, Carnal Desires, Vihang, Poetry, Body, Sex, Human Beings.

ABSTRACT

Dalit literature is the literature which artistically portrays the sorrows, tribulations, slavery degradation, ridicule and poverty endured by Dalits. Dalit literature has a great historical significance. Its form and objective were different from those of the other post-independence literatures. The mobilization of the oppressed and exploited sections of the society- the peasants, Dalits, women and low caste occurred on a large scale in the 1920s and 1930s,under varying leaderships and with varying ideologies. Its presence was noted in India and abroad. On the other hand African American writing primarily focused on the issue of slavery, as indicated by the subgenre of slave narratives. The movement of the African Americans led by Martin Luther King and the activities of black panthers as also the “Little Magazine” movement as the voice of the marginalized proved to be a background trigger for resistance literature of Dalits in India. In this research paper the main objective is to draw similarities between the politics of Caste and Race in Indian Dalit literature and the Black American writing with reference to Bama’s Karukku and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple.

Keywords: Dalit Literature, African American writings, marginalized, Slave narratives, Black panthers, Untouchable, Exploitation

ABSTRACT

The postcolonial writing is a powerful tool to show the existing colonial society and its complex institutional system by giving voice for the voiceless.  The voiceless are the people who are totally away from the hegemonic structure of the society.  In postcolonial literature, ‘subaltern studies’ has become a vibrant topic in the post colonialism at present.  The meaning of the term ‘subaltern’ is used today in a broad sense which brings more diversity to subaltern studies.  Subaltern literature reflects the pain and suffering undergone by the people who have been marginalized and suppressed from the main stream social activities by hegemonic for various reasons such as race, colour, caste, religion, language and gender.  The literary products of the colonizers and the dominant forcers have failed to reflect the ground reality of the marginalized people.  Therefore, a group of South Asian Historians with the leadership of Ranajith Guha, wanted to rewrite the history to redeem the silenced voices of subaltern.  Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide is great voice for the subalterns who are given shelter in Sundarbans forest, West Bengal.  He clearly picturizes the marginal people who run their lives by facing various risk given by the nature and the oppressed.  This paper explores the real trauma of subaltern with various situations.

ABSTRACT

Oscillates between faith and skepticism is one of the dominant theme in "Jejuri" a collection of poem. Arun Kolatkar wrote the poem about Jejuri is a small town in western Maharashtra, situated at a distance about thirty miles from Pune. It is we known for its god Khandoba. The poet gave to his poem the title "Jejuri". But the most important aspect of his writing this poem is the faith, which the people of Maharashtra have, in the miraculous powers of Khandoba. This god is worshiped not only from different part of Maharashtra but also other part of India. The devotees go there worship the deity and effort to placate him to win his favor. But Kolatkar has not written the poem "Jejuri" to celebrate this god or to pay his personal tribute and homage.

ABSTRACT

The present research paper is based on the experimental work. It throws light on the functions of the Traditional English gramar Teaching(TEGT) and the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT). They are not opposed to each other. In order to improve the students ability and gain better teaching results, the two kinds of teaching approaches should not be used respectively. On the contrary, we had better combine them together and use them flexibly in our day-to-day teaching. The sample consisted 50 students of D.T.Ed Second  Year.

ABSTRACT

Despite the tall claims of the emergence of world culture, the fact remains that a literature of a particular language flourishes in the culture that is rooted in its cultural history. Folk traditions, local flora and fauna, customs, rituals, believe systems of the community provide necessary sustenance and aesthetics to the literature.

Sindhi Language is as old as Mohenjo Daro civilization. Sindhi Literature has the rich tradition of 1000 years. Devastating decision of partition of the country in 1947 besides other catastrophic effects uprooted Sindhi Literature from its natural habitat ( The provinces of Sindh). The present article critically understand the challenges that Sindhi Literature faced in the post Independent era as it dragged itself on as uprooted literature.  This position has its own challenges and beauty.

ABSTRACT

It is the story of a young Brahmin, living in India at the time of the Buddha, and his spiritual journey in search of enlightenment. In the first part of the book, he leaves behind his father and family and formal religion, then his devoted friend and companion seeker, Govinda, and even eschews following the path of the Buddha. His reason for this choice is his realization that the Buddha teaches liberation from suffering, and that this supreme goal has been attained, not through following a teaching, but through his seeking truth on his own path, and that what he has attained cannot be taught, it can only found on one’s own. So begins Siddhartha’s journey proper. In short, Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha is an indicative of today's modern world which is steeped in materialism and consumerism.

Key Words:  wisdom , knowledge,  salvation, spiritual enlightenment
