Sumathi Assistant Professor Department of English D.K.M. College for Women Vellore-1 All the literature of our world, are the outputs of the human emotions. Indian English literature is not essentially different in kind from the other Indian literatures. Its writers have made the most significant contribution in the fields of poetry, fiction, drama, short story, biography and autobiography. Indian English Literature is deeply rooted in our geographical climate and cultural beliefs. The Indian English novels were developed as a subaltern awareness; as a response to break away from the colonial literature. Hence the post-colonial Indian literature witnessed a revolution against the idiom which the colonial writers followed. However the Indian English writers started employing the techniques of mixed language, magic realism garnished with native themes. Hence from a post-colonial era Indian English literature ushered into the contemporary and then the post-modern era. The saga of the Indian English novel therefore stands as the tale of changing tradition, the story of changing India. The history of Indian English novel, a journey which began long back has witnessed a lot of alteration to gain the current stylish delineation. In the past few years many prominent writers have made a mark on the Indian Diaspora. Later, the concept of Indian English novel or rather the concept of Indians writing in English came much advanced and it is with the coming of Raja Rao, R.K.Narayan,Mulk Raj Anand, the journey of the Indian English Novel began.

  • A Study on the Scientific Approach Towards Vedic Shaivism in Amish Tripathi's the Shiva Trilogy
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 A Study on the Scientific Approach towards Vedic Shaivism in Amish Tripathi’s The Shiva Trilogy Sukanya Chakravarty M.Phil Research Scholar Department of English Rajiv Gandhi University Arunachal Pradesh Abstract: Myth in Indian culture has always been an aura of curiosity. Indian mythology dates back to the times of Lord Rama, Lord Shiva and our firm beliefs in the divine. It also shares with us the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The reality of Ramayana and Mahabharata as true historical events or just an epic story is still arguable. The archaeological excavations give its presence in the structures of the Indus Valley Civilization and the Harappa Cities. Amish Tripathi, the budding Indian writer focuses on such issues of historical relevance in myths. In his works we find the science behind the Vedic customs. The paper attempts to sketch the scientific superiority of the Meluhans people in the novel The Shiva Trilogy. It depicts their firm beliefs and application of medicines and science for practicing a better and healthy life. Somras an eternal drink of bliss is an effort made by the Meluhan scientists to uplift the mankind, whereas the irony is that in the process of making the somras they are indirectly destroying the Mother Nature which in a way means demolishing the mankind. Keywords: Vedic, Myth, Somras, Lord Shiva, Meluha The word ‘myth’ is derived from the Greek word ‘mythos’, which suggests story or word. Myths are moral tales usually set in distant past which are believed as true and which comprises of unearthly, supernatural or legendary characters.

  • A Critical Assessment of Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy As a Seminal Piece of Popular Fiction
    DAYDREAMING AND POPULAR FICTION: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF AMISH TRIPATHI’S SHIVA TRILOGY AS A SEMINAL PIECE OF POPULAR FICTION NEHA KUMARI DR. RAJESH KUMAR Research Scholar, Research Adviser Department of English University Professor V.B.U., Hazaribag, Department of English Jharkhand, INDIA. V.B.U., Hazaribag, Jharkhand, INDIA “Phntasy…can become a source of pleasure for the hearers and spectators at the performance of writer’s work.1” expounds Sigmund Freud, in an informal talk given in 1907 which was subsequently published in 1908 under the title Creative Writers and Day- Dreaming. In his discourse, he presented his idea on the relationship between unconscious fantasy and creative art. Notably, he presented this relationship centreing the “authors of novels, Romances and short-stories2” and not “the authors of epics and tragedies3” whom he refers to as “most highly esteemed by the critic4”. Thus, he talks about popular literature, literary works that have yet to pass through the test of time to certify its creative sustainability. Fantasy is the nucleus of Popular Literature which according to Freud “[he] (an adult) is expected not to go on playing or Phantasying any longer, but to act in a real world”. It may be the reason why Popular fiction or Genre fiction is usually looked down upon by academics (an adult) through the concept of the semi-educated mass reader vs. the highly educated class reader. Popular fiction must connect and satiate the literary appetite of the so called mass reader of popular fiction as opposed to class reader of literary fiction or artistic fiction.

These novels often rework the Indian myths creatively to address contemporary human issues. Indian mythology is a rich treasure trove of tales, rich in plurality and characters . The usual concept of seeing things in just two shades of black and white dissolves as we are introduced into epics like The Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Every character is depicted as humane, prone to errors. Indian mythology is well depicted by the Indian writers beginning from Raja Rao and Girish karnad till the contemporary writers such as Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi of today. Amish Tripathi' s Shiva Trilogy is based on the reconstruction of several Indian mythical characters and stories drawn from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and Shivapuranam. For the philosophical arguments he has relied on via classical Sanskrit texts and Vedas and Upanishads. Amish, he his own terms of narrative style has succeed in brining life to the mythical character that we have been heard of since our childhood.

IV 1 December 2012 The Criterion www.the-criterion.com An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 Bridges to Breakthroughs: Tracing the Genealogy of the Indian Science Fiction and Fantasy Genre in English Shradha Kabra Established genres of the West are constantly being modified, adapted and evolved for the consumption of other nations. Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF) is one such genre that enjoys unsurpassed popularity prominently because it is a cross-over genre which fuses the impulses and techniques of both science fiction (Sf) and fantasy. Over the years, it has caught the interest of Indian writers in English and the international market is increasingly being proliferated by works of Indian. The paper would trace the watershed moments in the history of Indian Science Fiction (Sf) and fantasy, which are the parent genres of SFF that gradually gave rise to this “bastard” genre, to assimilate their value in the Indian-English literary tradition. Sf and Fantasy in English are considered to be a nascent genre in India although works featuring fantastical elements in India dates back to classical antiquity. The works of some of the prominent Indian fantasy writers have been traced in the paper to provide a rough idea about how the SFF genre evolved in India especially in English. For doing so, I have looked at some important signposts in Bengali Sf and Fantasy as many renowned Indian Sf writers chose Bengali as their language of narration than English.

NANDHINI, Associate Professor & Head, M.Phil. Research Scholar, Department of English, Government Arts College (Auto), Government Arts College (Auto), Kumbakonam. (TN) INDIA Kumbakonam. (TN) INDIA This paper examines the first two part of the Shiva's trilogy: The Immortals of Meluha and The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi in relation with the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinau Achebe. By the application of archetypal criticism, it highlights the common beliefs and perceptions of the characters in these novels that belong to two different civilizations. Moreover, based on the principles of Reader-response criticism the researcher generated Things Fall Apart as an intertext. Key Words: trilogy, archetype, perception, reader-response INTRODUCTION Archetypal Criticism- An Introduction The human mind has common ways of responding to experience which are variously known as ‘innate structures’ in Cartesian philosophy, ‘universals’ in transformational linguistics and ‘archetypes’ in Jungian psychology. According to the psychoanalytical theory of Sigmund Freud, our mind can be divided into two: the conscious and the unconscious. Further, the unconscious is divided in to collective and individual. People in different parts of the world have some common beliefs, thoughts, S. SARAVANAN M. NANDHINI 1P a g e perceptions, taboos etc, which are universal in nature and devoid of time and space. This is what embedded in the collective unconscious mind. The Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung (1875-1961), used the term ‘archetype’ to refer to this ‘collective unconscious’.

He is one of the most popular young voices of Modern Bharat. The fragrance of Indian culture and tradition is preserved in his work. His fiction detains the past, holds the present and prepares the readers to promote the standards of women. He enables the readers to reassess, rethink, reinterpret and revalue the incredible Indian cultural roots. Shiva Trilogy is a celebration of an epic hero ‘Shiva’, the prime deity in Hindu Religion, and his successful journey. Shiva and Sati have been depicted as human beings of flesh and blood who raise themselves up to the level of a god by his deeds. Amish’s artistic mind designs a utopian society called Meluha, established by Hindu God, Lord Ram. Amish assigns an extraordinary status to women in his visualized Ram Rajya. This article appreciates the colourful rainbow shades of feminist approach highlighted by Amish in his mythic fiction Shiva Trilogy; The Immortal of Meluha (2010), The Secret of Nagas (2011) and The Oath of Vayuputras (2013) and in detail it focuses on female traits attributed to the characters as opposed to the Traditional Ethics stated by Alison Jaggar.
