  • A Tea Party Ruth Prawer Jhabvala Ruth Prawer Jh
    Unit – I: Wit and Humour & Sir Mokshagundam Vishveshvaraya Wit and Humour: A Tea Party - Ruth Prawer Jhabvala Ruth Prawer Jhabvala was born in Cologne, Germany, into a patriotic Jewish family. They escaped to Britain in April 1939. In 1951, she married Cyrus Jhabvala , a Parsee architect whom she had met in London, and went to live with him in Delhi. She plunged in 'total immersion' into India – the jasmine, the starlit nights, the temple bells, the holy men, the heat. She bore three daughters, wore the sari and wrote of India and the Indians as if she were Indian herself. But her passionate love for India changed into its opposite. By 1975, she found she could no longer write of it nor in it. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, died at the age of 85, achieved her greatest fame as a writer late in life, and for work she had once dismissed as a hobby – she had considered “writing film scripts” just as a recreation. Her original screenplays and adaptations of literary classics for the film producer Ismail Merchant and the director James Ivory were met with box-office and critical success. The trio met in 1961, and almost immediately became collaborators, as well as close and lifelong friends. Her dozen novels and eight collections of short stories (and other stories published in the New Yorker and elsewhere) won Jhabvala the admiration of the sternest critics of her time. Raymond Mortimer thought she beat all other western novelists in her understanding of modern India. To CP Snow, no other living writer better afforded readers that “definition of the highest art”, the feeling “that life is this and not otherwise”.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • BLOGS Dow Shalt Pay for Bhopal Just for the Record, and Those
    BLOGS Dow Shalt Pay For Bhopal Just for the record, and those who missed it earlier, thanks to a revival on Twitter -- and perhaps because of that the resulting emails today -- of the old Yes Men hoax/prank on BBC. The Yes Men explain the background: Dow claims the company inherited no liabilities for the Bhopal disaster, but the victims aren't buying it, and have continued to fight Dow just as hard as they fought Union Carbide. That's a heavy cross to bear for a multinational company; perhaps it's no wonder Dow can't quite face the truth. The Yes Men decided, in November 2002, to help them do so by explaining exactly why Dow can't do anything for the Bhopalis: they aren't shareholders. Dow responded in a masterfully clumsy way, resulting in a flurry of press. Two years later, in late November 2004, an invitation arrived at the 2002 website, neglected since. On the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, "Dow representative" "Jude Finisterra" went on BBC World TV to announce that the company was finally going to compensate the victims and clean up the mess in Bhopal. The story shot around the world, much to the chagrin of Dow, who briefly disavowed any responsibility as per policy. The Yes Men again helped Dow be clearer about their feelings. (See also this account, complete with a story of censorship.) Only months after Andy's face had been on most UK tellies, he appeared at a London banking conference as Dow rep "Erastus Hamm," this time to explain how Dow considers death acceptable so long as profits still roll in.

He is one of the significant Indian English writers of the first generation of post- independent India. Dom was born in a wealthy Goan Catholic Christian family in 1938, with a high educational background. He was the only son of Dr. Beryl and Frank Moraes. His father was a London returned barrister, a student of Oxford and the first non-British editor of the Times of India; and his mother was a pathologist. As a child of seven years, he suffered from the trauma of his mother's nervous breakdown and eventual descent into clinical insanity. He accompanied his father on his travels through South-East Asia, the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, the places he had to visit once again as a journalist. At the age of 16 he went to London and lived there for more than 20 years. From his adolescence Dom made himself controversial by trying to assert his identity as an Englishman. He even became an English Citizen in 1961. In 1956, aged 18, he was courted by Henrietta Moraes. They married in 1961. He left her, but did not divorce her. He married Judith and had a son, Heff Moraes. However, this marriage could not last long. He later married celebrated Indian actress and beauty Leela Naidu and they were a star couple, known across several continents, for over two decades.
