Dominic’s Books 406 Contributors 409 Index 416 Foreword Prof. T. V. Reddy* Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya, the editor of the present collection of critical articles on the poetry of Dr. K. V. Dominic, hails from Kolkata – a place which can never be forgotten by the lovers and students of Indo-English poetry. It is a fact that Calcutta was the place of birth and development of Indo-English poetry and the entire poetry of pre-independence period was rooted in Calcutta and flourished there on the shores of Bay of Bengal. As early as in 1817 Hindu College was started in Calcutta which developed in forty years into the Presidency College where Henry Derozio was an English teacher. Indo-English poetry begins with Henry Derozio, gets stronger breath with Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Romesh Chunder Dutt and Manmohan Ghose, gets both beauty and energy from the lines of Toru Dutt, becomes lyrical and musical in the lines of Sarojini Naidu, gets international recognition with Tagore’s Gitanjali and acquires spiritual dimension from Sri Aurobindo with his monumental spiritual epic Savitri. Later G. K. Chettur, P. Seshadri, K. D. Sethna, Manjeri S. Eswaran, Harindranath Chattopadhyaya and others entered the field from across India and contributed their mite to the development of Indo-English poetry. A dramatic change came after independence when the scene of poetry shifted to Bombay on the shores of the Arabian 12 Poetical Sensibility of K.V. Dominic’s Creative Muse Sea with the emergence of Nissim Ezekiel and his Bombay group of poets, mostly campus poets, though very few voices emerged from other parts of the country too. After the Independence writers such as Nissim Ezekiel, Krishna Srinivas, Keshav Malik, A. K. Ramanujam, Kamala Das, P. Lal, Adil Jussawalla, Gieve Patel, Pritish Nandy, Jayanta Mahapatra, A. K. Mehrotra, Shiv K. Kumar, Arun Kolatkar, R. Parthasarathy, Margaret Chatterjee, Eunice de Souza, Keki Daruwalla and others contributed to the widening of the stream of Indian English poetry. Most of them tried to establish themselves as notable poets by trying to dislodge their great predecessors of the pre-independence period. Of course, an ungenerous and a vain bid! Most of the poets tried to dwell on the stereotyped aspect of alienation and the loss or missing of roots. Almost all the poets except Dr. Krishna Srinivas diverted the stream of poetry from the lyrical and national spirit to the realistic channel of social awareness or alienation. Krishna Srinivas stands apart by concentrating on the spiritual and cultural aspects.

  • Closing Ceremony of the SAARC Cultural Capital, 29 June 2019, Thimphu, Bhutan
    Closing Ceremony of the SAARC Cultural Capital, 29 June 2019, Thimphu, Bhutan STATEMENT BY H. E. MR. AMJAD HUSSAIN B. SIAL, SECRETARY GENERAL OF SAARC Hon’ble Minister for Home and Cultural Affairs of the Royal Government of Bhutan, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is indeed a great honour and a privilege for me to address the Closing Ceremony of the SAARC Cultural Capital in this picturesque and serene city of Thimphu. I wish to express profound gratitude to the Royal Government of Bhutan for inviting me to this important SAARC event. It has always been a great pleasure for me to visit this beautiful country, bestowed with pristine beauty and very friendly and hospitable people. I also wish to thank the Royal Government for warm welcome and generous hospitality extended to me and my delegation since our arrival here. The arrangements made for this function are excellent. We are greatly honoured by the august presence of the Hon’ble Minister for Home and Cultural Affairs of the Royal Government of Bhutan. His distinguished presence amply signifies the importance of this event. 1 As a founding member of SAARC, the Kingdom of Bhutan has played a very constructive role in its evolution. The historic Sixteenth SAARC Summit hosted by the Kingdom in April 2010 is a testimony to its steadfast commitment to SAARC. As the gracious host of the SAARC Development Fund Secretariat, the Kingdom has facilitated institutionalized project-based collaboration in the region. In addition, the Kingdom has hosted several important SAARC activities. Besides this spectacular Ceremony today, only the other day, Thimphu hosted the Fourth Meeting of the SAARC Agriculture Ministers.
