Its study must evolve too. The present issue of Indraprasth brings novel perspectives and nuanced perspectives to its readers: it represents a wide selection of literary and scholarly articles exploring a variety of disciplines, themes and ideas. The papers here seek new dimensions of looking at literary, social and cultural contexts that shape human lives and narratives. They become examples of how critical engagement with cultural production can not only assist us in comprehending our today(s) but can also help us in raising questions about our tomorrow(s). Tej. N. Dhar’s “Literature and the Aesthetic: From the Greek Age to Modern Age” critically examines the significant intersections of literature and aesthetics by focusing on mimesis in Plato-Aristotle, Horace, Longinus, Plotinus, and the mix of Plato-Horace in Sidney. Anmol Sahni in “Postcolonial Gothic: Hybridisation of Genres and the Dak Bungalow” discusses the emergence of Postcolonial Gothic as a genre and how it reconfigures the idea of ‘monstrosity’ within the identity of the colonised other. It traces the motif of the haunted house as it travelled to the Indian subcontinent with the British, and how it became a site for the cultural anxieties of the colonial experience. “Mapping the Feminine Subjectivity in Amrita Pritam’s Once There Was an Anita and Krishna Sobti’s Damn You, Mitro!” by Sakshi Sundaram discusses women’s marital lives and their personal spaces in terms of freedom of their bodies. Neeti Singh’s “Sainthood, Patriarchy and Saguna Bhakti in the Verse of Andal and Mahadevi” examines the semiotics of gender and patriarchy in Saguna Bhakti through the works and lives of two South Indian saint poets, Shaiva and Vaishnav. The author also examines how myth, history, cultural and religious practices in a patriarchal society affect the women bhakti poets.“The Culture and Politics of Representation in Mirabai’s Poetry” by Kusum Deswal explores the Vaishnava Bhakti movement with a focus on Mirabai’s poetry. It attempts to highlight the power and control of Mira Bai on her ‘self’, and how she surmounted the hurdles on the path of her spiritual and mystical journey. Manali Dogra’s “Metaphorical Metamorphosis: A Critical Reading of Select Stories, Poems, and Plays” explores the ideas of non-linearity, irrationality, organic sensibilities of monuments as metaphors of love and empathy in tragic times. It examines the temporary and eternal in the transient world of reality. “The Diasporic Rainbow: An Intersectional Study of Queerness and Diaspora” (vi) by Shivani Bhatt attempts to understand the levels at which nationalities and sexualities intersect through Suniti Namjoshi’s Conversations of Cow and other poems. It also tries to explore the nexus of transnational, cultural, ethical levels factors that configure vis-à-vis gender, desire and sexuality. Shaival Thakkar’s “Rohinton Mistry’s Indo-Nostalgia in Such a Long Journey and A Fine Balance as Monochromatic Photographs of Mumbai” attempts to demonstrate the intermingling of cityscapes and characters’ perspectives on Mumbai through two novels. Abhilasha Sawlani in “Negotiating Gender: Women in Bollywood Cinema” examines three Bollywood films — Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Astitva, and Queen — in light of Judith Butler’s notions of gender as performance, open to continual refashioning. “Post-national, Global, or Local: Literary Cinematic Responses” by Naresh K. Vats examines how globalisation and post-nationalism work in the realities of today. The paper investigates today’s cinema (Newton, Hindi Medium, Barfi, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Pad Man) as experiences of individuals who are struggling with the day-to-day realities under the light of globalisation. Kirti Sachdeva’s “From Othello’s Race to Omkara’s Caste: A Study of the Conflicting Political Identities in Omkara” highlights how a nexus between caste system and party politics plays out in the hinterlands of India, leading to an inversion of the idea of collective identity through various inclusive methods, coalitions and novel ways of flattering popular stereotypes and hierarchies. Shibangi Dash in “Radicalization of Narration in Dalit Fiction: An Analysis of Selected Works” looks into three novels namely, Kusumabale, Hindu and Untouchable Spring to analyse the caste system prevalent in India. Nilanjana Ray’s “Writing Resistance, Building Identities: Persepolis and Embroideries” traces Marjane Satrapi’s journey of writing graphic novels. The texts are further analysed in-depth, which enhances the importance and effect of graphic novels in postmodern form. Srishti Sharma in “Women as Warp and Weft of Painting through Time: A Select Study of ‘Fallen Woman’ Across Translational Space” presents visual-arts from 19th century and songs by Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and John Lennon using ekphrasis as a technique. Mandavi Choudhary’s “Godna and Modern Tattoo: A Transitional Narrative” studies the tradition of body art, referred to as the practice of godna in the particular cultural context of Mithila. Akansha Shukla’s “Home and the Inner Lives of Homemakers: A Study of Women Protagonists in Select Indian English Novels” focuses on the women in Indian households through the analysis (vii) of select Indian English novels like Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve, Anita Desai’s Fire on the Mountain, and Rama Mehta’s Inside the Haveli. Adiba Faiyaz’s “Rethinking Relationships in the Fictional Retellings of the Mahabharata” takes two modern day retellings of the epic, namely, Chitra Banerjee’s Devakaruni’s Palace of Illusions and Mahasweta Devi’s “Draupadi”. The paper scrutinizes Divakaruni’s attempt to provide a feminist retelling of the epic through the point of view of Draupadi and contrasts this with the Draupadi in the text by Mahasweta Devi. Prerena Kush and Rekha’s “Sita and Exile: Revisiting Ramayana in Devdutt Patnaik’s Sita: An Illustrated Retellings of the Ramayana” traces the pattern of journey which Sita undergoes in her exile to different places. It tries to look into the transition that Sita experiences during these multiple exiles and asks if this leads to any psychological, intellectual or emotional displacement for her. “Myth-Making and the Holy Orders: An Appraisal of the Power of Homiletics and Hermeneutics of Sacred Texts” by Obinna Ibezim looks into the myths and the myth-making process adopted by the preachers and teachers of different religions through the two activities of Hermeneutics and Homiletics.

  • EXIGENCY of INDIAN CINEMA in NIGERIA Kaveri Devi MISHRA
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on Philosophy, Psychology, Theology and Journalism 80 Volume 9, Number 1–2/2017 ISSN 2067 – 113x A LOVE STORY OF FANTASY AND FASCINATION: EXIGENCY OF INDIAN CINEMA IN NIGERIA Kaveri Devi MISHRA Abstract. The prevalence of Indian cinema in Nigeria has been very interesting since early 1950s. The first Indian movie introduced in Nigeria was “Mother India”, which was a blockbuster across Asia, Africa, central Asia and India. It became one of the most popular films among the Nigerians. Majority of the people were able to relate this movie along story line. It was largely appreciated and well received across all age groups. There has been a lot of similarity of attitudes within Indian and Nigerian who were enjoying freedom after the oppression and struggle against colonialism. During 1970’s Indian cinema brought in a new genre portraying joy and happiness. This genre of movies appeared with vibrant and bold colors, singing, dancing sharing family bond was a big hit in Nigeria. This paper examines the journey of Indian Cinema in Nigeria instituting love and fantasy. It also traces the success of cultural bonding between two countries disseminating strong cultural exchanges thereof. Keywords: Indian cinema, Bollywood, Nigeria. Introduction: Backdrop of Indian Cinema Indian Cinema (Bollywood) is one of the most vibrant and entertaining industries on earth. In 1896 the Lumière brothers, introduced the art of cinema in India by setting up the industry with the screening of few short films for limited audience in Bombay (present Mumbai). The turning point for Indian Cinema came into being in 1913 when Dada Saheb Phalke considered as the father of Indian Cinema.

A host of perpetrators made reporters and photographers, even editors, fair game as there were murders, attacks, threats, and cases filed against them for defamation, sedition, and internet- related offences. It was a year in which two journalists were shot at point blank range and killed, and one was hacked to death as police stood by and did not stop the mob. The following statistics have been compiled from The Hoot’s Free Speech Hub monitoring: Ø 3 killings of journalists which can be clearly linked to their journalism Ø 46 attacks Ø 27 cases of police action including detentions, arrests and cases filed. Ø 12 cases of threats These are conservative estimates based on reporting in the English press. The major perpetrators as the data in this report shows tend to be the police and politicians and political workers, followed by right wing activists and other non-state actors Law makers became law breakers as members of parliament and legislatures figured among the perpetrators of attacks or threats. These cases included a minister from UP who threatened to set a journalist on fire, and an MLA from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh and his brother accused of being behind a brutal attack on a magazine journalist.
