The stage is set and the lights are Tdimmed. For the next hour, only one voice resounds, tearing through the pin-drop silence. As Arundhati Nag delivers a powerful performance in Girish Karnad’s Bikhre Bimb at Ranga Shankara, Bengaluru, the crowd remains spell-bound. The mono-act, Arundhati claims, has been the toughest role of her life, given the challenge of conversing with her television image that is treated as another character. The first thing to strike you in a chat over a cup of coffee at the Ranga Shankara café is the diametrically opposite personality she is, on and off stage. And, you are all ears when the ever- smiling, soft-spoken artiste warmly guides you through her three decade-long tryst with theatre and her efforts to revive, support and encourage the art—with memories, anecdotes, et al. 000 >>Society >>OCTOBER 2013 OCTOBER 2013 >>Society >>000 PHOTOGRAPHS: SANDESH RAVIKUMAR \\gra-Z\D\SOCIETY\SOCIETY OCT 2013\Drama - ARUNDHATI NAG\ARUNDHATI NAG.indd 3 SAT, 14 SEP, 2013 11:22 AM \\gra-Z\D\SOCIETY\SOCIETY OCT 2013\Drama - ARUNDHATI NAG\ARUNDHATI NAG.indd 4 SAT, 14 SEP, 2013 11:22 AM drama drama n n “Arundhati believes in maintaining high standards for children’s theatre as well. “We do not encourage any kind of slapstick humour, and certainly not fairy tales.” “Theatre comes naturally to me, even though I’ve had no formal training. TV makes everything small while cinema magnifies people and places. It is just theatre that presents a person as she or he is—with all the blood, sweat and tears.” Arundhati’s fascination with theatre began when she saw the Ramleela in Delhi as a child. “I saw a male, a sardar, play the role of Sita. Since then, this whole fascination of impersonating got to me, the thrill of being who you are not.” And, when she was made to play the role of a boy in the cultural events of her school, the romance of being another person infatuated her. “I still remember being a Rajasthani boy for a dance performance, twirling my fake moustache. Theatre gives the freedom to lie through your teeth, with the sanction of society,” she smiles. “And, that’s what I love the most.” Going down the memory lane, she remembers how she shifted base from Delhi to Mumbai at the age of 10 and a few years later, was just one step short of enrolling into the JJ School of Arts to become a painter. “But, my mother was not too keen AD on that, so I went to NM College to learn commerce instead. There, I bagged a play, Aur Rangmanch Rota Raha, because of my good Hindi, and even got an award for it. I have never looked back since. My friends tease that the rangmanch is still crying because I refuse to leave it.” A chance encounter with artiste Shama Zaidi kick-started her journey with Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), where she was cast in a prominent role in the play Ek Chaadar Maili Si. “The IPTA was the training ground that introduced me to stalwarts like Farooque Shaikh, AK Hangal, Manmohan Kishan, Sulabha Arya and others. There was a time when I used to do as many as 42 plays a month in Hindi, Marathi, English and Gujarati, being all of just 17 years old.” Learning came through observation and constant encouragement. “Of course,” she adds, “Being a Maharashtrian and knowing many languages helped.” She smiles nostalgically as she recalls her first brush with professional theatre and how she was astounded when she knew she’ll be paid for acting. “Directors Kamlakar Sarang and Anand Sarang approached me for a Marathi play, Sahaz Jinki Mana, and 000 >>Society >>OCTOBER 2013 OCTOBER 2013 >>Society >>000 \\gra-Z\D\SOCIETY\SOCIETY OCT 2013\Drama - ARUNDHATI NAG\ARUNDHATI NAG.indd 5 SAT, 14 SEP, 2013 11:22 AM \\gra-Z\D\SOCIETY\SOCIETY OCT 2013\Drama - ARUNDHATI NAG\ARUNDHATI NAG.indd 6 SAT, 14 SEP, 2013 11:22 AM drama drama n n “Theatre comes naturally to “The IPTA was the training me, even though I’ve had no H SINGH ground that introduced me to S U formal training.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) ‘Refraction’ and Manipulation of Literary Fame: A Study of Malgudi Days Mr. Dhiren Parmar Ph.D. Student and Temporary Assistant Professor Department of English, Faculty of Arts The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda Vadodara, Gujarat, India Abstract The 1986 television adaptation of Malgudi Days (1943), by a prominent Indian English writer R. K. Narayan, can be read as „refraction,‟ a concept developed by Andre Lefevere. According to him refraction implies “the adaptation of a work of literature to a different audience, with the intention of influencing the way in which that audience reads that work (Lefevere, 1982).” The paper aims to elucidate the manifestation of television adaptation as refraction by examining various cultural, linguistic and ideological constraints, as discussed by Lefevere, which influenced its reproduction in the culture of the target language (Hindi), ultimately playing a major role in the history and culture of the target audience. The paper also aims to explore the reasons why and how television adaptation manipulated Narayan‟s literary fame in post-colonial India. Keywords: R.K. Narayan, television adaptation, Indian writing in English, refraction, translation studies, literary fame, post-colonial India. R. K. Narayan, the author of short stories‟ collection, Malgudi Days is one of those celebrated Indian English writers, who gained eminence, after Rabindranath Tagore, in the English speaking world. He was the first Indian English writer to receive the Sahitya Akademi Award by the Indian government in the year 1960. He was also nominated for Nobel Prize in the year 1996.

  • Popular Indian Cinema in Conversation with Reincarnation: Some Aspects
    postScriptum: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Literary Studies Online – Open Access – Peer Reviewed ISSN: 2456-7507 postscriptum.co.in Volume II Number i (January 2017) Gupta, Rajarshee. “Popular Indian Cinema in Conversation with ...” pp. 28-40 Popular Indian Cinema in Conversation with Reincarnation: Some Aspects Rajarshee Gupta Assistant Professor in English, Subhas Chandra Bose Centenary College, Murshidabad The author did his MA and MPhil from University of Calcutta. He served as the Project Fellow of DRS (UGC Special Assistance Programme, Phase III) at the Department of English, University of Calcutta. He currently teaches as Assistant Professor at the Department of English, Subhas Chandra Bose Centenary College, Lalbagh, Murshidabad. Abstract The paper strives to explore various facets of reincarnation as a theme or device in popular Indian cinema. Reincarnation has been a popular theme in Indian cinema since the early days of Indian film industry. The take of Indian cinema on the subject is very different from that of World cinema or Hollywood; its root can be traced back to traditional Indian philosophy professing Karma and the concept of rebirth. The cyclic pattern of birth and death as professed in Indian philosophy is reflected in a number of ways in the reincarnations movies: through the repetitive usage of various tropes of music, image and also by adopting a cyclic narrative structure. Reincarnation as a theme attributes to the scope of retelling love stories and revenge sagas, thus enhancing the melodramatic ‘masala’ nature of popular Indian cinema. The movies largely dwell upon and invest in the concept of immortality of the soul and eternal love between the lovers spanning over births.

  • Case Studies of the Kannada and Bhojpuri Culture Industries
    ECONOMY, POLITICS, CULTURE INDUSTRY: CASE STUDIES OF THE KANNADA AND BHOJPURI CULTURE INDUSTRIES I. REPORT ON THE KANNADA CULTURE INDUSTRY By P.Radhika, CIDASIA, CSCS with inputs from S.V.Srinivas and Sravanthi Kollu, CIDASIA, CSCS, Sushmitha S. and B.Shrikanth Kannada Film Industry and Linguistic Identity The link between culture and politics has been done in different ways. If we take the specific instance of Kannada cultural production, its centrality in the Kannada identity movement has been argued through tracing how Kannada linguistic nationalism has articulated itself through the site of the print and cinema industry—beginning with the high literary writings of Alur Venkat Rao, Galaganatha and B.M.Srikantiah in the colonial period and then the shift to popular culture, especially Kannada cinema in the post-independence period (Prasad 2003-2004, Nair 2005).1 We present a different argument here: Kannada identity politics is a projection of the underground economy of the Kannada cultural industry. Such a mapping should not be mistaken as a reading of an identity politics in ‗economic‘ terms where the linguistic is seen as a ‗false layering‘ to the ‗true economic tensions beneath‘ but as a revisiting of the cultural through the economic in more complex ways. The importance of understanding cultural economy is not merely confined to financial transactions and profit-making of culture industry but is closely tied to political articulations that emerge from this underground economy. The moment of political articulation is important because it is at this moment that the economic value of the cultural commodity meets its cultural value in a context otherwise of the difficulty of translating cultural value into economic value.

  • CULTURE Karnataka’S Cultural Heritage Is Rich and Variegated
    Chapter XIII CULTURE Karnataka’s cultural heritage is rich and variegated. Kannada literature saw its first work during 9th Century and in modern times it has created seven winners of Jnanapeetha Award for their literary talents. Literary activity in other languages of neighbouring areas in this state and purely local languages like Tulu and Kodava is also considerable. Journalism in Kannada has its history dating back to 1843 and has many achievements to its credit. Karnataka has thrown up outstanding personalities of historical significance. In the musical map of India, the State has bright spots, whether it is Hindustani or Karnatak, the latter having originated in this land. In the field of dance and art too Karnataka has creditable achievements. Yakshagana is both a folk and elite art is flourishing here. The State’s tradition in folk arts is also colourful.When one thinks of the cultural scene, Shivaram Karanth, Kuvempu, Dr. Rajkumar, Maya Rao, Mallikarjuna Mansur, T. Chaudiah, K.K.Hebbar, Panith Bheemasen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal, B.V. Karanth U.R. Anantha Murthy, Girish Karnad, Chandrashekar Kambar are a few bright faces that shine forth. An attempt is made to survey the cultural pageant of Karnataka in this chapter. LITERATURE Kannada Literature: Kannada literature has a history dating back to at least 1500 years. This apart, the folk literature which began earlier, still runs parallel to the written form Ganga king. Saigotta Sivarama’s ‘Gajashtaka’ is cited as an example of early folk literature. The oldest available work in Kannada is however, a book on poetics, called ‘Kavirajamarga’. Some controversy surrounds this work regarding the authorship, but the consensus is that it was written more likely by the court poet Srivijaya than the Rashtrakuta king Amoghavarsha Nripathunga.
