A visitor from any limited exposure to them. That is precisely one of the Oother part of the globe is easily and invariably reasons that in ‘shuddha’ Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi, taken aback at the variety of cultures, languages, food- Oriya, Assamese etc., we find many common words. But habits, physical features, history and geography of such a the style underwent gradual change with Tagore and Sarat huge conglomerate of communities tied under one national babu , reflecting a kind of tilt towards modernity , thus constitution for decades.

Are we concerned about the extent by a large number of litterateures , who were novelists of interactions and exchanges between them ? Or are we and poets of repute in their own might, thus raising the relieved enough that each one of these communities live popularity bar amidst the common readers. Finally, today happily by themselves, without interfering into each other the language has almost been transformed into a kind of ? I have a feeling that the latter is true. Unfortunately , we commonplace mix of vocabularies, that conspicuously but may not have analysed in-depth, what could be gained cleverly rests on the sublime form of the good Bangla as by making in-roads to each other, not to exploit or ridicule well as a part of the raw street language, may be to provide but to enrich and flourish. a ubiquitous touch of ‘realism’. .Nevertheless, the fact Incidentally and interestingly today, the spate of inter- remains that any good form of literature, for it’s intrinsic state marriages in every city or even in small towns and value, has always demanded attention, nationally and villages( whether they go punished or rewarded!) , besides sometimes even internationally, whether it is Tagore’s the inter-caste and inter-religion and inter-national, have Gitanjali, Sunil Gangopadhyay’s Shei Shomoi, Saratbabu’s unmistakably opened our eyes wide enough to the Devdas or Mahashweta Devi’s Hazaar Churashir Maa. undeniable realization that such inter-relationships have Whether people flocked to theatre or cinema halls to watch come to stay, community ‘divides’ may soon be history. the film-version of Tagore’s Kabuliwalla through the eyes In such a situation, should’nt we do our best, as the so- of Bimal Roy or Bankim’s Anandamath through the called intellectual class, to harness the power of Language stirring patriotism ignited by Hemant-Lata’s Vande Mataram in our literatures, study the impacts if any in the past , is immaterial; the point of discussion is how a work of and subsequently recommend how can that influence be art(in the present context :literature) can draw hordes of enhanced and gainfully utilized for the common masses ? admirers, provided the masses can relate to it.

Many of us here are well aware of Tagore’s award-winning novel are distinct, even if discrete. Thus a romantic melodies like Shedin Dujone sung in Hindi film Mumbai-based Bengali novelist today may reflect his by Suraiya as Naina Diwaane in early fifties, to Hey Bombaiya DNA in his writings.

It reminds me of the flavor Mere Manko and the list goes on. Only sad part is that of Shimla hills in Ruskin Bond’s English novels that most the all-India audience could enjoy the flavor of his tune Indians miss because of non-translation! but missed out on the priceless verse or lyrics.

Thus a cultural doors of interactive living on the principles of “Love Thy paradigm shift through audio-visual exercise ? Yes, and Neighbour” can then open up.

Franklin Frazier struck a very different note from that of the euphoria of middle-class arrival which had been sounded in the contributions to The New Negro (1925), an anthology of writings by an earlier generation of African-American intelligensia: When the opportunity has been present, the black bourgeoisie has exploited the Negro masses as ruthlessly as have whites. As the intellectual leaders in the Negro community, they have never dared to think beyond a narrow opportunistic philosophy that provided a rationalisation for their own advantages... The masses regard the black bourgeoisie as simply those who have been “lucky in getting money” which enables them to engage in conspicuous consumption..

    revue littéraire mensuelle LITTÉRATURES DE L’INDE avril 2001 Hormis une poignée de romanciers de langue anglaise, les littératures de l’Inde contemporaine restent pour nous une immense terra incognita. C’est à un voyage fascinant, inoubliable, que nous convie ce numéro d’Europe. Par son ampleur et la richesse des découvertes qu’il propose, il n’a pas à ce jour d’équivalent en France. Qu’on en juge : plus de quarante romanciers, nouvellistes et poètes, représentant au total dix-huit langues, de l’ourdou au bengali, du hindi au tamoul, du konkani au malayalam… Comme le rappelle Amitav Ghosh dans un essai publié en ouverture de ce numéro : « On a dit à juste titre que l’Inde n’avait rien donné de plus important au monde que ses légendes. » Il est nécessaire aujourd’hui de faire connaître ce qui a surgi après l’Indépendance, et plus particulièrement au cours des deux ou trois dernières décennies. On aimera s’immerger dans une littérature rétive aux standards occidentaux, mais qui sait métisser son riche héritage écrit et oral avec les apports majeurs de la modernité venue d’Europe, de Russie et d’Amérique.

  • 1 the Discourse of Colonial Enterprise and Its Representation of the Other Through the Expanded Cultural Critique
    Notes 1 The discourse of colonial enterprise and its representation of the other through the expanded cultural critique 1. I use the term “enterprise” in a delimited manner to specifically denote the colonial enterprise of capitalism and corporate enterprise of multi-nationals under global capitalism. I also examine the subversion of the colonialist capitalist enterprise through the deployment of indigenous enterprise in Chapter 4. It is not within the purview of my project to examine the history of the usage of the term “enterprise” in its medieval and military context. 2. Syed Hussein Alatas in a 1977 study documents and analyses the origins and function of what he calls the myth of the lazy native from the sixteenth to the twentieth century in Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. See his The Myth of the Lazy Native (1977). I pay tribute to this excellent study; however, my own work differs from Alatas in the following respects. Alatas treats colonialist labour practices as an ideology or a patently false “myth” not as discourse. Unlike Alatas my own study of labour practices is oriented towards discourse analysis. This difference in tools leads to a more fundamental theoretical divergence: Alatas foregrounds the myth of the lazy native without investigating the binary half of the industrious European that sustains the former. Contrarily I argue that the colonized native’s unproductive work and play within the expanded cultural critique cannot be discussed without taking into account the normative labour and leisure practices in post-Enlightenment enterprise. 3. My choice of the Defoe text, as well as my locating the colonial capitalist discourses of labour in the English Enlightenment is influenced by Marx’s brief but intriguing interpretation of Defoe’s Crusoe.
