SOCIAL MILIEU IN MANJU KAPUR’S ‘DIFFICULT DAUGHTERS’ AND BHARATHI MUKHARJEE’S ‘DESIRABLE DAUGHTERS’ – A COMPARATIVE STUDY

MRS. N. PREMA
DR. R. SHANTHI

ABSTRACT

Literature is fundamentally an expression of life through the medium of language.  Art and literature do not rise full – blown like Venus from the sea.  Their creation is slow and cumulative process.  It is the criticism of life.  It reflects the social surroundings of the writer’s time.  Indian women novelists have been portraying women in various manifestations. But recently, the remarkable range of India’s most accomplished women writers of post colonial strand has brought a tremendous change in the trend of depicting women characters. Manju Kapur has intuitively perceived the gender issues perturbing women and presented women as an individual who fights against suppression and oppression of the patriarchy.  Manju Kapur is one among the group of Indian writers in English who live and write in India itself concerning the problems of the indigenous people here.  She gives importance to familial characters especially women.

DR. SUDHAKAR T. SALI

AN EXPLORATION OF CONTEMPORARY INDIAN WOMEN WRITERS

KAMALAKR B. GAIKWAD
VIJAY D. SONGIRE

ABSTRACT

Sir V.S.Naipaul, the recipient of Trinanidian Nobel Prize, is highly appreciated in the field of English literature for his works. He delineates the Indian immigrant’s dilemma, their problems and plights in a fast changing world. He provides a new dimensions and new approaches to the reader to study the expatriate literature. The novelist highlights the social injustice and indifferences through this novel. Naipaul has a subjective approach towards the jarring of identity and rootlessness. His writing is solely centered on the theme of the quest of self identity and self belongingness. He reflects his individual experience of chaotic and thwarted world of Trinidad in his works. He skillfully projects the confluence of two cultures-South African and Indian. The bitter experiences of his own life became the source of his writings. The present paper studies Naipaul’s A House for Biswas with the view to delineate the struggle of modern man for identity formation. The paper highlights the issues like agony of an exile and the pangs of a man in search of meaning and identity. The present paper investigates the modern dilemma of rootlessness, alienation, the quest for identity.

Keywords: Modern dilemma, self identity, self belongingness, rootlessness, alienation, struggle for existence, obscurity etc.

BLENDED BOUNDARIES OF FACT AND FICTION: HISTORICIZING KITTUR THROUGH LITERARY NARRATION THE QUEEN OF KITTUR BY DR. BASAVARAJ NAIKAR

SUMATHI SHIVAKUMAR

ABSTRACT

'The Queen of Kittur' can be read as a postmodern historical novel that seamlessly blends the boundaries between fact and fiction, even while asserting the claim to objectivity of historical narratives. This study categorizes the novel as a representative of historiographic meta-fictions which enable different voices - the voice of history and the voice of fiction - to be heard by opening the dominant discourse of history to multiple perceptions. The postmodern text is analyzed with respect to the writer's emphasis on how history is essentially a human construct.

Key words: Historiography, Postmodern novel, heroic women, facts and fiction, Queen of Kittur, Basavaraj Naikar.

A STUDY OF AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL, PSYCHOANALISTIC & ANTI MATERIALISTIC ELEMENTS IN D. H. LAWRENCE’S NOVELS

KAMEL HEZAM ALI MOQBEL
DR RAJKUMAR M. LACKHADIVE

ABSTRACT

Even though D. H. Lawrence writes in several literary genres such as poetry, drama, and short stories, he is well known and worldwide read for his novels. The writer here tries to trace the main reasons that make his novelist and his novels one of the most controversial writers in the twentieth century literature. The current paper intends to shed some light on the main features of his novels and how they were received by critics, authorities and readers at their publication time. He is considered one of the first great English novels who make use of the science of psychology in their novels. Lawrence is particularly influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theory about the unconscious mind. He is mainly known as a novelist of sex, and this brings about a lot of trouble for him. The whole output of his genius is governed by his faith in blood-consciousness and sex, devoting his art to dramatize the sexual relationship between man and woman. He rebels against the traditional methods of writing novels. Unlike the Victorian novelists, he just concentrates in a few individuals in his novels and explores their inner subterranean passions. Lawrence’s novels have personal tones, so he is considered by many critics as a great autobiographical novelist. Another feature of his novels is that he is considerably influenced by Thomas Hardy, who uses the natural scenery of the countryside as his background for his novels. Hardy’s impact is very tangible in Lawrence’s focus on nature. The most exciting moments of hot passions in his novels are set in the lap of nature. Lawrence, in brief, can be taken to be the revolutionary spirit of the twentieth century against tradition, religion, war and industrialization. He has the guts to shake the very fundamentals of the social and moral order. All these features of his great genius are discussed below...

PROMOTING DISCUSSION SKILLS

SUGANTHAN R.

ABSTRACT

Almost three hundred years ago, British author and Politician Joseph Addison had this to say about it: “If the minds of men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the wise man and that of the fool. The difference is that the first knows how to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation … whereas the other lets they all indifferently fly out in words.” And this is still true today...

THE STRUCTURAL APPRAISAL OF V. S. NAIPAUL'S A HOUSE FOR MR. BISWAS

SANDEEP KUMAR SHARMA

ABSTRACT

A House for Mr. Biswas is one of the few novels of Naipaul in which the essential human condition and the leading themes are expressed through a central pattern of imagery and symbolism. It draws upon images and symbols largely to express the alienation and mental turmoil of the hero in search for form and meaning of experience. The deliberate, autobiographical structure of the novel in its chosen details and the recurring images of darkness, decay and death are remnants of Biswas's struggle. Naipaul's fictional technique is a mixture of several diverse qualities. He is a satirist with an insatiable appetite for commentary and observation; a comic writer who presents the Trinidad scene with its varied and multicoloured life and landscape; a serious and disillusioned spectator of the decadence of life in the ex-colonies.

Key Words: Structure, Panoramic Vision, Language, Symbols and Images.

A STUDY OF FEMININE NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE IN SHOBHA DE’S SISTERS

DR. M. YOGESH

ABSTRACT

Shobha De’s all novels begin with the titles beginning with ‘S’. For the critics, the letter ‘S’ stands for sex. Shobha De does not allow her woman characters to treat sex as something tabooed or inhibited. One of the critics has commented as, “It is not the sex that is objected to, but the manipulation. The sex is included purely for titillation, as a necessary ‘ingredient’ to sell the books, much in the way a certain number of songs and dances are inserted  into Hindi films. Many of her sex scenes can be dropped without any damage to the flow of the story.” [Times Magazine. 1998] Shobha De recommends a mature attitude to sex. It is not like baby food: “I love sex, like I love food. It’s same sort of hunger”, [Snapshots. 1995: 134] says the protagonist Rashmi in Snapshots. What Shobha De detests is mechanical. It is loveless and routine sex. Sex for Shobha De’s women is palpable. Their sex is pulsating and compelling reality. They do not hesitate to accept it as an important part of life. On the contrary, they think and talk about it boldly. They participate in it actively, turning upside down the traditional image of woman. For them, sex is shameful, hidden sin. Through her woman protagonists who talks openly about sex, Shobha De seems to herald the arrival of a new woman. These women do not lament for the existing sub-ordination and passivity of woman. They project their own passions onto others as a female power play in order to deconstruct the male ego. Shobha De attempts to challenge the conventional image of woman as a sex object. She tries to dismantle every kind of taboo on sex for woman. Women protagonists in her novels are more assertive as far as sex is concerned.

QUEST FOR ‘SELF’ IN THE SOUTH-ASIAN WOMEN AUTOBIOGRAPHIES

DR. RAJKUMAR M. LAKHADIVE

ABSTRACT

Women are always the suppressed class. The study of women autobiographies is the study of the experiences and emotions of the suppressed class. The status of women is always secondary in every society. What the oppressed suffers, she suffers the same and yet without any status. Thus she is doubly oppressed. It is interesting to understand the realities women have to face in their lives. She undergoes the tortures, perseverance toils, pains, sometimes unnecessarily. The best realization of the facts of her life can only be understood through autobiographies.  It is the first, second hand experience a reader gets. It also gives the picture of her struggle to gain a status, to have the identity, to have individual freedom, to participate in decision making etc. This aim is achieved at different times for different women. It is seen that women in South Asian countries have taken a long time for this type of awakening. The picture is different in the Western countries. The present study intends to undertake the task of highlighting the evolution of identity in the writings of the women’s autobiographies. Women’s autobiography has now achieved a significant place in literary writing and criticism. The publication of anthologies on the subject has increased over the past few decades.

AN UNMASKING OF CAROL ANN DUFFY

K. S. SUBRAMANIAN
Retd. Asst. Editor, The Hindu

ABSTRACT

As Carol’s husky voice mumbles the finale “If poetry could truly tell it backwards, it would” in the video of her poem “Last Post” in sync with the British martial music it leaves a draining effect in the listener on the scores of veterans lost and still being lost in the Wars.  The poem was a tribute to the two war veterans of World War I  – Henry Allingham  and Harry Patch who lived long enough and relatively in obscurity to carry the tales in their memory.  Henry was in the seaplane aboard the Royal HMT Kingfisher, a naval trawler patrolling the high seas to ward off the German fleet during World War I.  Patch was injured in the groin during the battle in France in 1917 while three other soldiers died in the shelling. Both died in the space of a week in July 2009, earning the sobriquet of the 13th and 14th oldest war veterans in Europe.

OF SUPERFICIALITY

DIBAKAR PAL
(Executive Magistrate in India)

ABSTRACT

Creative writing does not inform rather reveals. So it bears no reference. The present article is an outcome of creative writing meant for lay readers. As such free style is the methodology adopted so that pleasure of reading can be enjoyed by the common mass. As you know well that Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the immortal essayist, wrote many essays namely Of Love, Of Friendship, Of Ambition, Of Studies, etc. The myriad-minded genius rightly pointed out that all the words of the dictionary can be the themes of essays one can write. But little has been done, in this regard since his death, in order to finish his unfinished monumental works. In fact Bacon's way of presentation i.e., his unique individual style kindled the imagination already in me and encouraged me as well to write essays, in the light of creative writing, thus to get relief through Catharsis.

ABSTRACT

While fossil fuels will be the main fuels for thermal power, there is fear that they get exhausted eventually in this century. Therefore many countries are trying other systems based on non-conventional and renewable sources. These are solar, wind, sea, geothermal and biomass, after making a detailed preliminary analysis of biomass energy, geothermal energy, ocean thermal energy, tidal energy and wind energy. In wind power, I have studied mechanical design of various types of wind turbines, their merits, demerits and applications, isolated and grid-connected wind energy systems with special attention to power quality.
