  • Lal Singh Dil (1943 – 2007)
    327 In Remembrance In Remembrance Lal Singh Dil (1943 – 2007) Lal Singh Photo by Amarjit Chandan How is one to remember Lal Singh Dil? The literary status of Dil in the world of Punjabi literature was never disputed and he is often described as the poets’ poet. Punjabi poet Surjit Patar says: ‘He will be counted as one of the top Punjabi poets of the twentieth century.’ However, there was more to Dil’s life than is difficult to slot. It was a life of immense struggle as his story stands witness to the deep-rooted human discrimination in the name of caste, which a creation of the Hindu way of life is yet to be found in all major religions that have been based on conversion from Hinduism. Sadly enough, it has also been a part of the Left group cadres, which ideologically do not recognise religion, caste or creed. So Dil’s various attempts to transcend the caste barrier by joining the Naxalite movement of the late Sixties in Punjab or later converting to Islam with the new name of Mohammad Bushra met with frustrations that his simple poetic heart opposed. However, his life and struggle raise the issue of caste prejudice and a big question mark after his death. Punjab has a higher Dalit percentage than that of other states. Scheduled Castes form about 30 per cent of the total population and eighty per cent of these castes live in the rural area and are landless and mostly Sikh Jats are the land owners. The Dalits take the religion of their masters as per old practice.

  • The Poetry with Prakriti Festival (2013)
    The Poetry with Prakriti Festival (2013) About Poetry Festival 2013 ‘Poetry with Prakriti’ is an annual festival featuring 25 eminent and emerging poets, each presenting four different readings of their poems to small, intimate audiences at several venues across the city – schools, colleges, cafes, IT parks, green public parks, shops, galleries, boutiques, banks and other commercial establishments. The festival is scheduled everywhere, to coincide with the famed ‘Chennai Season’. The aim of the Poetry with Prakriti festival is to get poets from varied backgrounds to read and share their poetry in various languages at different locations across the city. This allows multiple groups of people to enjoy creative expression rendered through poetry. Over the years, we have presented 200 poets from across India, and from countries such as Spain, France, Canada, U.K, Denmark, Switzerland and the U.S.A. This festival has featured poets such as Keki N.Daruwalla, Charles Stein (USA), Arundhathi Subramaniam, Denis Mai R(USA), Sudeep Sen, Priya Sarukkai Chabria, Bina Sarkar Ellias, Anne-Marie Kenessey (Switzerland) Kalki Subramaniam, Parvathi Nayar, Renuka Narayan, Anupama Raju, Jeremy Woodruff, Raghavendra Madhu, to name a few. As part of the festival, a Poetry Slam Contest has been conducted in the past. The top three poems are awarded cash prizes. As one newspaper review stated: “It’s a quiet revolution but certainly one that is gaining momentum.” It is a practical attempt to make poetry available and for everyone rather than it being a privilege for just a few. This festival aims to liberate poetry from being condemned as elitist, obscure or abstract.

  • Amrita Pritam ----She Lived by Her Own Rules Big Hike in Cash Prize for Sports Persons
    www.punjabadvanceonline.com Gandhi Jayanti (Oct 2) 2 Punjab Advance August 2016 Editorial Where is that glory that reverence the Punjab farmers enjoyed when they put everything at stake to usher in the Green Revolution. They responded to the call of the nation, abandoned the traditional farming methods in the late 1960s and 1970s and fell to the crafty advisers from the US and other countries to grow crops the American way – with chemicals, high- yielding seeds and irrigation. The selfless devotion of the Punjab farmer, saw the nation climb up the lad - der. From a beggar it became an exporter of grains. Yes the country food bowl was overflowing with grains, but at the cost of the dwindling groundwater of Punjab. The new miracle seeds produced far bigger yields, but they came with a catch: The thirsty crops needed much more water than natural rainfall could provide, so the farmers had to dig wells and irrigate with groundwater. The demand for more grains, saw the farmers pumping excessive groundwater to irrigate their crops resulting in a dramatic fall in the water table. The level began to drop more than 3 feet every year. Deeper water table meant high powered tubewells sucking out whatever was left deep down in the earth. The cost went up, the soil also started show - ing damage because of the chemicals. This is where the money lenders came into the picture. Excessive spending on agriculture because of low water table, bad soil and low MSP added to the woes. The mounting debts have taken their toll in farm suicides.

  • Issue 5 October 2016
    Issue 5 October 2016 Cover image © Saba Hasan, ‘nine book installation’, 2012 1 | Page About Us Culture matters. And it has to matter in India, with its diverse languages, dialects, regions and communities; its rich range of voices from the mainstream and the peripheries. This was the starting point for Guftugu (www.guftugu.in), a quarterly e-journal of poetry, prose, conversations, images and videos which the Indian Writers’ Forum runs as one of its programmes. The aim of the journal is to publish, with universal access online, the best works by Indian cultural practitioners in a place where they need not fear intimidation or irrational censorship, or be excluded by the profit demands of the marketplace. Such an inclusive platform sparks lively dialogue on literary and artistic issues that demand discussion and debate. The guiding spirit of the journal is that culture must have many narratives from many different voices – from the established to the marginal, from the conventional to the deeply experimental. To sum up our vision: Whatever our language, genre or medium, we will freely use our imagination to produce what we see as meaningful for our times. We insist on our freedom to speak and debate without hindrance, both to each other and to our readers and audience. Together, but in different voices, we will interpret and reinterpret the past, our common legacy of contesting narratives; and debate on the present through our creative work. Past issues of Guftugu can be downloaded as PDFs in Archives. Downloads of issues are for private reading only. All material in Guftugu is copyrighted.

Every hardworking mother waits for the day when her child will educate himselfor herself and reach a better position in life. Mother sentiments run deep in the Indian psyche.

As adults, our fond memories ot childhood centre around our mother. However, as adults, we also become aware of the harcdships faced by our mothers. Like us, the poet expresses her understanding of her mother's sacritices. 4.2 Objectives After reading the poem you will be able to: Identify various aspects of the life of Dalits Analyse vivid images used to depict the life of a Dalit mother Explain ditferent meanings connoted by the tone ofthe poem Examine how equivalence affects the meaning of the poem in translation 4.3 Getting Acquainted A.
