  • A Structural Study of Bhabani Bhattacharya's Major Novels
    THESIS A STRUCTURAL STUDY OF BHABANI BHATTACHARYA'S MAJOR NOVELS ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of $|)ilD!SiDp]^p IN ENGLISH BY MOHD. QAISER KHAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALiGARH. (INDIA) 1999 ABSTRACT If not amongst the very best Indo-Anglian novelists, Bhabani Bhattacharya cannot be dismissed as a minor writer nonetheless. He is certainly one of the crucial literary forces who have contributed in great measure to the development of Indian fiction in English. An eye witness to pre and post independent India, like many of his contemporaries he could catch his country's spiritual anguish, its predicaments, it aspirations it contradictions, its anxieties, its frustration and hopes. Thematically his fictional output does not claim to have broken new grounds, but, technically, he can be said to have established for himself a pride of place in Indian literature. It is with the technical aspect of his fictional art that my research is basically concerned. My focus in particular has been on the study of the structure of his plots. Since plot can not be studied in isolation from other technical necessities like characterization, narrative devices, etc., these elements have also be treated. A writer's literary ranking can best be gauged in terms of his exploitation of linguistic and technical resources. As a natural corollary to this, the study of the development of the structure of the plot of fiction appears an inviting field for research. His technical artistry has not been uniformly successful through the six novels he has written, but, his innovative drive manifests itself in all of them.

  • Indian Culture in the Novels of Bhabani Bhattacharya
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 February 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 INDIAN CULTURE IN THE NOVELS OF BHABANI BHATTACHARYA Name- Dr. Alpesh Upadhyay Designation- Associate Professor Department- English Name of the Organization- Saraspur Arts and Commerce College City- Ahmedabad Country- India Abstract: Of the present Indo-Anglian writers, the name of Bhabani Bhattacharya needs special stress. He is a gifted writer and ranks with some of the best writers of Indo-Anglian literature. His novel ‘Shadow from Ladakh’ won him the award of the Sahitya Academy for 1967, while his other novels ‘So Many Hungers’ , ‘Music for Mohini’ , ‘He who Rides a Tiger’ , A Goddess Named Gold’, have earned for him an abiding place in Indo-Anglian fiction. His ‘Shadow from Ladakh’ was written with the modern political and economic problems of India as background. He has done his fob with his accustomed ease and sensitivity in felicitous English. Around the central theme, Bhattacharya has woven an eminently moving tale of the conflict of modern India. Bhabani Bhattacharya is an outstanding Indo-Anglian novelist of the present times. He has earned worldwide distinction and his books have appeared in twenty-six languages, sixteen of which are European. He has won the coveted Sahitya Akademi Award for 1967 for his novel ‘Shadow from Ladhak’, which is a deserved honour done to the genius of Dr. Bhattacharya. He is the fourth writer to receive the award for a work in English, the other three being R. K. Narayan, Raja Rao and Verrier Elwin. Speaking of the award he remarks.

  • Part-Ii Course-Xiv Semester-Iv Indian Writing in English Lesson No. 5.1
    M.A. (ENGLISH) PART-II COURSE-XIV SEMESTER-IV INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH LESSON NO. 5.1 AUTHOR : DR. P. DAYAL A : INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH - A BRIEF HISTORY INTRODUCTION : The study of Indian writing in English raises a number of questions in our mind. Is Indian Writing in English a part of Indian literature or a variation of English literature? Another issue is whether Indian Writing in English be called Indo-Anglian literature or Indo-English literature. Still another doubt crops up whether the English writers like Kipling and Forster, who have written on Indian subjects with enthusiasm and buoyancy, be placed in the literary tradition of Indian literature or English literature. What is the difference between Indo-Anglian literature and Anglo-Indian literature? It will be appropriate if the study of Indian writing should begin with these legitimate queries. Indians have been writing in English for more than a century now, but until 1930 no attempt was made to place such writing in its historical and cultural context. Perhaps until this date Indian writing was not considered worthy of critical examination, primarily due to paucity of material or the absence of critical references. The first critical essay entitled, "A Sketch of Anglo-Indian Literature" written by Edward Farley Oaten appeared in 1908. Edward Oaten uses the term Anglo-Indian Writing in English' for the Englishmen writing on Indian subjects. Even in 1934 Dr. Bhupal Singh used the term anglo- Indian themes. The scholars like Professor R. Seshadri clubbed English writers writing on Indian subjects and Indians writing in English together under the same title Anglo-Indian Literature.

Aishwarya Vidhya Ph.D Scholar (Part-Time), Department of English & Comparative Literature, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. When it is said, the Indian English literature has achieved far-reaching importance both in India and abroad in the recent decades, it may equally be said that and evolving literary force. It is also accepted as a significant part of Third World or New literatures. Despite the fact that the Indian novel in English had begun as a ‘hot-house-plant’, it established firm roots in Indian soil. It has, no doubt, attained a rich growth, mounting extraordinary heights in the context of the contemporary Indian literary scene. Indian English literature has been called “a janus-faced literature, born of a cross fertilization of two faithful cultures-Indian and European” (Singh 165). The contact with the western mind fluttered the soul of India, ushering in the renaissance which is regarded as the greatest gift of the English to India, giving rise to an unpredicted awakening so as to enkindle new aspirations. In the words of Mulk Raj Anand, “Indian fiction has come to stay as part of world literature”. Indian-fiction in English is usually equated with the ‘Big-Three’-Mulk Raj Anand, R. K. Narayan and Raja Rao. There are a few others like Bhabani Battacharya, Manohar Malgonkar, Khushwant Singh, Chaman Nahal, Arun Joshi, Salman Rushdie, Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Nayantara Sahgal, Arundhati Roy and Ruth Prawar Jhabvala who followed suit.

My findings suggest that novels are well equipped to engage in environmental education, although some of the form’s conventions must be disrupted to fully capitalize upon its strengths. The modern novel is conventionally limited in scope, often resorts to apocalyptic narratives that can breed hopelessness, is dedicated to a form of realism that belies the dramatic weather events exacerbated by climate change, defers authority to a single voice, and is logocentric.
