  • Reading Culture: the Marginalisation of Bhojpuri
    READING CULTURE: THE MARGINALISATION OF BHOJPURI Indira Prasad I Literature, in the ordinary sense of the term, refers to creative expression in a written medium. Such a definition of literature does not hold either in the case of Bhikhari Thakur’s works1 or for Bhojpuri literature to which it belongs. Bhojpuri is one of the forty- nine mother tongues subsumed under Hindi (Census data, 2001).2 The literary canon of Hindi comprises texts from the oral3 as well as the written traditions of these languages and operates in a dense multi-lingual context. The case of Hindi is a particularly compelling one for a definition of what constitutes literature. Of the large number of languages and their traditions covered under Hindi, only some, like Braj, Awadhi and Maithili, have a written literary tradition that is not of recent origin, along with an oral tradition that runs parallel to it. The rest of the languages have vibrant oral traditions, which may or may not have been transcribed. Some, like Bhojpuri have, apart from oral and transcribed literature, a written literary canon4 of recent origin and a nascent corpus of criticism written in Bhojpuri and Hindi. It is to the modern period of Bhojpuri literature that Bhikhari Thakur’s works belong. Most critics apply to Bhojpuri literature, the scheme of periodisation followed in Hindi literature: some, like Manager Pandey whose views have been given below, offer an alternative scheme. Questions raised tentatively during the early years of the publication of Sarasvati5 about the relationship of the ‘bolis’ (or dialects) with the newly standardised Hindi under which they were submerged, have of late, mutated into a call for an independent consideration of their literary context, as in the case of Bhojpuri.

  • Politics of Misrepresenting the Oppressed: a Critique of Abdus Samad’S Urdu Novel Dhamak*
    mohammad sajjad Politics of Misrepresenting the Oppressed: A Critique of Abdus Samad’s Urdu Novel Dhamak* Abdus Samad (ʿAbduíṣ-Ṣamad) is known less as a teacher of political science and more as a famous Urdu fiction writer. Starting his literary career with short story writing, he later began writing novels. All five of his novels are accounts of the politics of twentieth-century Bihar. The first, Dō Gaz Zamīn (Two Yards of Land, 1988), deals with the politics of the partitions of the Indian subcontinent (first of India in 1947 and then the dismemberment of Pakistan in 1971) and depicts its impact on a declining Muslim feudal family of Bihar Shareef, roughly from the 1920s to the 1970s (Ghosh 1998, 1ñ40; Qasmi 2008, 24ñ26). It earned great praise from Urdu literary critics and in 1990 received the prestigious Sahitya Academy Award. His second novel Mahātmā (The Great Soul, 1992), the least appreciated of his novels critically, is a pessimistic account of the deep decline in the quality of higher education. His third novel, Khvābōñ kā Savērā (Dawn of Dreams, 1994), is the most critically acclaimed in terms of theme, technique, style, treatment, and so on. It deals with Muslims and their engagement with (or place in) the secular democracy of India in an increasingly communalized polity and society. In a quote appearing on the cover of his fourth novel Mahāsāgar (The Ocean, 1999), he is very explicit about why he gives primacy to the subject of politics in his writing.
