  • Bravely Fought the Queen
    INTRODUCTION “My life is big. I am BIG and GENEROUS! Only the theatre deserves me” (Where Did I Leave My Purdah? 59) Theatre has always been a glorious star in the multi-dimensional and richly adorned cultural galaxy of India. But Indian English theatre has had a rather low key representation in this vibrant cultural arena. During the sixties and seventies European influence, especially of Pirandello, Brecht, Chekhov and others, gained prominence and helped Indian theatre express the fractured reality of the time. But the indigenous Indian theatre moved past regional boundaries to become really a polyglot phenomenon from the sixties onward, and use of English helped it cross the border of language, too. Nissim Ezekiel, Girish Karnad, Badal Sircar and Vijay Tendulkar were the chief architects of this aesthetic/cultural development. But except for a few plays written in English between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and for the translations in English of the works of the above playwrights, the picture of Indian drama in English, however, appeared rather uninspiring. It was not until the eighties that English drama stepped out of the coterie of elitists and reached a wider audience. The efforts of playwrights like Nissim Ezekiel, Asif Currimbhoy, Shib K Kumar and others achieved occasional success, but failed to connect the audience with theatre’s full potential. With a younger group of 1 playwrights a more lasting change was visible, and the plays by Dina Mehta, Poli Sengupta, Manjula Padmanavan, and Tripurari Sharma found increasingly appreciative audience. It was with the appearance of Mahesh Dattani in the 1980s that Indian English drama gained a distinct identity.

  • Indian Drama- Post and Pre Independence Journey of a Dynamic Art Form
    © 2019 JETIR January 2019, Volume 6, Issue 1 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) INDIAN DRAMA- POST AND PRE INDEPENDENCE JOURNEY OF A DYNAMIC ART FORM Dr. Alka Jain English Faculty, Rani Laxmibai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh Abstract Drama is one of the most dynamic literary forms, as it is empowered by its potential to communicate directly with a live audience and the capacity to enable the onlookers to partake in a cathartic experience. It has its own universe, in which human sensibilities and experiences are reflected, through the actions, emotions and attitudes of the characters. It is a literature which is alive- full of voices, laughter, and tears to move the spectators. It is the most powerful genre in world literature. The existence of a dramatic tradition in Greece, Rome, England and India proves theatre to be an integral part of their culture, religion, philosophy, and politics. The origin and development of English drama can be traced to England after the Norman Conquest in the tenth century. The present research paper explores the development of Drama across the globe and also traces its journey on the Indian soil, with major emphasis on the study of the Post- Independence and Pre-Independence Drama. Keywords: Indian Drama, Drama, pre- independence, post- independence. Full Paper The existence of a dramatic tradition in Greece, Rome, England and India proves theatre to be an integral part of their culture, religion, philosophy, and politics. The origin and development of English drama can be traced to England after the Norman Conquest in the tenth century.

  • Los Angeles a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomu
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles FIND THE TRUE COUNTRY: DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND THE SELF IN INDIA’S NATIONAL CULTURE A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by VIVEK VIRANI 2016 © Copyright by Vivek Virani 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Find the True Country: Devotional Music and the Self in India’s National Culture by Vivek Virani Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Daniel M. Neuman, Chair For centuries, the songs of devotional poet-saints have been an integral part of Indian religious life. Countless regional traditions of bhajans (devotional songs) have been able to maintain their existence by adapting to serve the contemporary social needs of their participants. This dissertation draws on fieldwork conducted over 2014-2015 with contemporary bhajan performers from many different genres and styles throughout India. It highlights a specific tradition in the Central Indian region of Malwa based on poetry by Kabir and other Sants (anti- establishment poet-saints) performed by lower-caste singers. This tradition was largely unheard- of half a century ago, but is now a major part of Malwa’s cultural life that has facilitated the creation of lower-caste spiritual networks and created a space for those networks to engage in discourse about social issues. Malwa’s bhajan singers have also become part of India’s popular ii religious and musical life as certain performers have attained celebrity status and been recognized at the national level as living bearers of the Sant tradition. This dissertation follows performers and songs from Malwa into new contexts and explores the processes by which performers and audiences in diverse styles and contexts use Sant bhajans to construct understandings of the self.
