The aim and scope of the present study is strong-minded and delimited by the area of the Indian English literature. Indo-Anglian has been a most wanted variety well- read women before as well as after self-determination. A very attention-grabbing and observable fact of the contemporary Indo-Anglian verse is that it includes a large numeral of women poets’ unflagging writing verse also. It has duty-bound concentration from serious rings also. P. Lal points out that the experience of high quantity of female writers during English produces knowledgeable as well as susceptible efforts. Their poetry possesses not only magnitude but superiority also. Indian women writers have been providential to acquire an ambiance which is not antagonistic to woman-writing. Indian English poetry is outstandingly enormous. The pre-self-determination poets are uttered Indian subjects in the Romantic as well as Victorian styles and hold to their form and prosody as well as the post-independence poet’s noteworthy wide-ranging testing, deviation from the predictable styles of appearance and implement of freedom in variety along with content, and use of language. The clash between customs as well as modernity at different levels i.e. social, cultural, familiar national and multi-ethnic are noticeable in the works of these new poets. They also demonstrate the control of western poets like W. B. Yeats, E. Pound, T. S. Eliot, W. Whitman, T. Hughes, E. Cumming, S. Plath etc. It is one of the most important and remarkable dealing in the post-independence Indian English poetry and the increase of women’s poetic influence and quest for their self-identity. The innovative women poets represent the altering situation of women in the contemporary Indian civilization. Their verses are a multifaceted intermingles of aestheticism as well as activism; instead of women’s fight to smash out of the patriarchal forbidden and achieves of an impartial location of their individuality. Indian English poetry is the oldest form of Indian English literature. It has achieved, equal fruitfulness as well as superiority of irritated fiscal. It also symbolizes different phases 1 Chapter I: Introduction of growth of our innumerable enlightenment and general life precisely from the commencing of the 19th century to the mid-nineties or the early 20th century. It deals with the following three phases of development. First phase; in the first phase, there is a number of advancement which is answerable for making Indian English poetry. The beginning exponents are like Henry Derozio, Michael Madusudan Dutt, Toru Dutt, B. M. Malahari, S. C. Dutt and R. C. Dutt. They are developed setters who commence to poetry in the Indian replicate in an unfamiliar and foreign language. Although, their hard work are a commonplace and lack in originality of English verse. They productively provide a new trend to Indian poetry in English by writing on olden Indian era, mythology as well as legends. This phase is also called imitative stage. The poets of 1850 to1900 have found this element of poetry. They have followed the British Romantics as well as Victorian poets. Second phase, of poets is the assimilative. This period starts from 1947. They were compulsive nationalists seeking to project the renascent consciousness of India caught in the maelstrom of historical conflict and turmoil and change, and culminating in the attainment of political freedom in 1947, self-expression was important to all the poets of imitation and self- definition, accompanied by heart-searching probe into the cultural inheritance became the genuine concern of the poets of assimilation.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • Towards an Alternative Indian Poetry Akshaya K. Rath
    Towards an Alternative Indian Poetry Akshaya K. Rath One of the debates that has kept literary scholars of the present generation engaged and has ample implication for teaching pedagogy is the problem of canon-formation in Indian English poetry. One of the ways in which such canon- making operates is through the compilation, use and importance of anthologies. Anthology making is a conscious political act that sanctions a poet or poem its literary status. It has given rise to the publication of numerous anthologies in the Indian scenario and in the recent decades we have witnessed the emergence of a handful of alternative anthologies. Anthologies in general remain compact; they are convenient and often less expensive than purchasing separate texts. Those are some of the reasons for their popularity. However, as the case has been, inclusion of a poet or poem is hardly an innocent phenomenon. We have witnessed that canonical anthologies in India are exclusive about their selection of poets and poems, and in most cases the editor‘s profession remains central to anthology making. Hence, there is a need to address the issue of anthology making in Indian scenario that decides the future of poetry/poets in India. This paper explores the historiography of anthology making in India in the light of the great Indian language debate put forward by Buddhadeva Bose. It also highlights that there a significant transition in the subject of canon-formation at the turn of the century with the rise of an alternative canon. The politics of inclusion and exclusion—of anthologizing and publishing Indian English poetry—will be central to the discussion of anthologizing alternative Indian English poetry.

  • Tribal, Cultural Identity and Development in Narayan's Kocharethi
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 2.24 (IIJIF) Tribal, Cultural Identity and Development in Narayan’s Kocharethi - The Arya Woman Pramod Kumar Gond Research Scholar Department of English Banaras Hindu University Abstract It is widely seen that Indian society is vast and complex including multiple communities and cultures. The tribals are the most important contributors towards the origin of the Indian society. But due to lack of education, documented history and awareness, their culture has been misinterpreted and assimilated with others under the label of development. It pulls them at periphery and causes the identity crisis. In this article I focused on tribal who are facing a serious identity crisis despite its rich cultural legacy. This study is related to cultural issues, the changes, the reasons and the upliftment of tribal culture with a special reference to the Malayarayar tribes portrayed in Narayan‟s Kocherethi. Key Words: Tribal, Culture, Identity, Development and assimilations.

Colonies were made and those people were convicted in different ways. The present paper proceeds from the conviction that post colonialism and ecocriticism have a great deal to gain from one another. The paper attempts to see with the perspective of how Adivasis, tribes in general are colonized not only with other people but with the people of themselves. The changes associated with globalization have led to the rapid extension and intensification of capital along with an acceleration of the destruction of the environment and a growing gap between the rich and the poor. Narayan in his novel Kocharethi shows how Malayaras are colonized with their land, customs, and traditions and with their identities. The paper will focus on the reading of novel with post-colonial perspective.

Indian literature in English (IEL) has been witnessed an impressive expansion in the more than six decades of its existence. Literature is used to describe written or spoken material. It is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction and nonfiction. In Indian English literature it introduces us to new world of experiences at the same time we are enjoying the comedies and the tragedies of poems, stories, and plays; and we may even grow and evolve through our literary journey with books. I. INTRODUCTION Indian English Literature (IEL) refers to the body of work by writers in India who write in the English language and whose native or co-native language could be one of the numerous languages of india. It is frequently referred to as Indo-Anglian literature. (Indo-Anglian is a specific term in the sole context of writing that should not be confused with the term Anglo-Indian). Literature, in its broadest sense, is any writing work; etymologically the terms derived from Latin literatura/litteratura “writing formed with letters”, although some definitions include spoken oe sung texts.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Seen Through Other Eyes: Reconstructing Australian Literature in India PAUL SHARRAD University of Wollongong Australian Literature (as a body of intellectual inquiry and curriculum) had its beginnings in nationalist self-assertion against the cultural domination of this country by British texts and colonialist attitudes. Since then, we have complicated the idea of national culture and literary canons by recognising the existence of ‘migrant’ and then ‘multicultural’ and ‘Aboriginal’ writing, along with critiques and remodelling of the literary corpus from popular culture, gender and sexualities frameworks. One marker of this shift was the Bicentenary revision of Geoffrey Dutton’s The Literature of Australia (1964) as The Penguin New Literary History of Australia (1988) edited by Laurie Hergenhan. ‘Aust. Lit.’ was consolidated and institutionalised in a historical moment of conjunction between publishing markets, politics and educational reforms, and carried with it certain hidden assumptions of hegemonic structures at that time (as illustrated in Leigh Dale’s The English Men, 1997).

  • Bombay Modern: Arun Kolatkar and Bilingual Literary Culture
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 12, No 3 & 4 (2017) Bombay Modern: Arun Kolatkar and Bilingual Literary Culture Anjali Nerlekar 292 pages, 2016, $99.95 USD (hardcover), $34.95 USD (paperback), $34.95 USD (e-book) Northwestern University Press Reviewed by Graziano Krätli, Yale University Anjali Nerlekar’s Bombay Modern is the second book-length study of the Indian poet Arun Kolatkar (1931-2004) to be published within the past couple of years, coming right after Laetitia Zecchini’s Arun Kolatkar and Literary Modernism in India (2014). The two scholars worked independently yet in awareness of each other’s research, which resulted in two books that are distinct and complementary, and equally indispensable to a better understanding of Indian poetic culture in postcolonial Bombay and beyond. Kolatkar is the quintessential posthumous poet. Wary of intercourse with commercial publishers and media in general, he carefully and selectively cultivated the art of reclusion, avoiding all kinds of publicity, shying away from interviews, and publishing very little in his lifetime. Only after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and largely thanks to the encouragement of friends - especially the poets Adil Jussawalla and Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, and the publisher Ashok Shahane - did he agree to the publication of two collections, Kala Ghoda Poems and Sarpa Satra, not long before he died in September 2004. These were followed by the New York Review of Books edition of Jejuri (2005); Arun Kolatkarchya Char Kavita (2006; a reprint of four Marathi poems originally published in 1977), and The Boatride & Other Poems (2009), both published by Pras Prakashan. The latter was edited by Mehrotra, who is also responsible for Collected Poems in English (Bloodaxe, 2010), and the forthcoming Early Poems and Fragments (Pras Prakashan).
