  • Conclusion the Study of 'Construction and Contestation of Nation in Indian
    Conclusion The study of 'Construction and Contestation of Nation in Indian English Fiction' was undertaken with the purpose of understanding the notion of nation underlying the texts and the alternative collectivity imagined therein. It has been carried out in this study by attending to three dimensions: the construction of collective identity, contestations of hegemonic construction of collective identity and visions of collective identities beyond the nation. Novels studied are all canonical texts and this selection was intended to enable a perspective into the 'mainstream' approaches to the issue of nations and nationalisms. The study does not present a detailed analysis of the novels in relation to the various content or form related aspects of the novel. For example, it does not enter into the exercise of exploring the psychological make up of characters, or the examination of the language used by the authors. Such and other investigations are employed in the study only in so far as they have a bearing on the issue under consideration. The idea behind restricting the scope is to keep the focus firmly on the issue being pursued. Three frameworks are adopted for the study. These frameworks are aimed at enabling a view of the notion of nation emerging at different historical junctures and in relation to various developments. However, the selection of novels for study under each framework is guided not by their year of publication or writing but by the period the stories relate to. As a result, while the novels discussed in each chapter have been published at various dates, they all concern themselves with roughly the same historical period.

  • Indian English Women's Narratives from the 1950S to 1999
    Review of Arts and Humanities June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 61-71 ISSN: 2334-2927 (Print), 2334-2935 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/rah.v5n1a6 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/rah.v5n1a6 Indian English Women’s Narratives from the 1950S to 1999: a Parallel Confrontation of Political Stories and Controversial her Stories Dr. Ana García-Arroyo1 Abstract In this article I attempt to establish a parallelism between some gender issues that emerge in modern post independence Indian society and their reflection in Indian English literature written by women writers. Guided by an accurate selection of works, in their great majority novels by Indian women writers in English, I aim to search out a parallel confrontation between the questions raised in the fictional narratives and the struggle of women at each particular her storical period: the Nehruvian time, the 70s-80s, the 90s and the globalized era. On the other hand I would also like to demonstrate that some of the fiction written by Indian female writers, and the issues discussed, transgress social and cultural patterns upheld by the hegemonic patriarchal power. As a result it will confirm how some of these Indian English narratives written by women writers have anticipated life. Keywords: Indian English narratives by women; Indian her story; gender issues; from1950-1999. It is well-known that the works by Plato and Aristotle have mostly influenced the world of theory and criticism. Their most influential contribution was to conceive literature as a didactic and mimetic expression, that is to say, an imitation or representation of life.

  • The Role of Indian Women Writers Empowring Their Rights”
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 March 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 “THE ROLE OF INDIAN WOMEN WRITERS EMPOWRING THEIR RIGHTS” Prof. Karabasappa.C.Nandihally Asst Professor in English Govt First Grade College – Davanagere Abstract This article analyzed Indian Women writing in English is being renowned as major contemporary current in English language- Literature. The like of Salman Rushdie, Amitav Gosh and Anita Desai have won worldwide acclaim for the excellence of their writing and their creative use of English. These consist of the role of English as global lingua franca: the position of English in India. The Indian writers in English are writing, not in their resident language but in a next language, and the consequential trans cultural character of their texts. 3.1. Conventional and Modern Indian English writing Traditionally, the work of Indian Women Writers has been undervalue due to patriarchal assumptions about the superior worth of male experience. The factors contributing to this intolerance is the fact that the majority of these women writers have observed no familial space. The Indian women's perception of their aspirations and prospect are within the construction of Indian social and moral commitment. Indian Women Writers in English are victims of a second prejudice vis-a-vis their regional counterpart’s. Proficiency in English is available only to writers of the intelligent, affluent and educated classes. Writer’s works are often therefore, belong to high social strata and cut off from the reality of Indian life. As, Chaman Nahal writes about feminism in India: “Both the knowledge of woman’s position in society as one of shortcoming or in majority compared with that of man and also a desire to remove those is advantages.” 1 3 2 the majority of novels written by Indian women writers depict the psychological sufferings of the frustrated homemakers.

  • International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach And
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies ISSN NO:: 2348 – 537X The Theory Of Karma In The Philosophical Novels Of Indian English Literature. Dr. Shrimati C. Das Post Doctoral Fellow(USA), Associate Professor, Department of English, Nehru Arts, Science, Commerce College & PG Center , Hubli, Karanataka. ABSTRACT: Most of Indian English literature quotes that the destination of each ones destiny is influenced by two important factors namely „Karma‟ and „Dharma‟. Karma is nothing but the action of life and the lessons we have to learn from it to correct our destiny, whereas Dharma means to live our life according to our duty to be done in this birth. Many of the Indian English novels project this basic principle of the theory of Karma that one‟s past Karma influences the present. This has been realized by the protagonists as they progress/digress in their lives. Many novels also reflect the „Law of Identical Harvest‟, which says that effects produced by our thoughts are more identical in nature to thought itself, like a corn reproduces only corn and a mango can reproduce only a mango. The events or happenings in the novels, to the protagonists, though not visible but are acted upon by a supreme force. The various protagonists realize the impact of such a force and are much wiser, and change course and try to move in the right direction- a trial and error exercise to finally meet their pre destined end. KEY WORDS: „Karma‟, „Dharma‟, „critical influence‟, „Law of Identical Harvest‟, „ historic approach‟, „Hindu concept‟, „fruition‟, „Karma Phala‟, „action-reaction‟, „predestined‟, „designated‟, „collective karma‟ 1 Indian English has become a new form of Indian culture and voice in which India speaks.

  • Review of Literature
    Review of Literature: In the post-colonial Indian Literature, themes regarding the gender issues have been the headquarters and center point of attraction of many Indian writers. The rise of feminist movement raised questions regarding the status of entire women community. Indian constitution, after independence, offered equal rights to Indian women. This changed the attitude of Indian women regarding their relationship with her family members. It also changed their attitude about the marriage. Women began to find themselves in the conflict of tradition and modernity and this made them alienated from self and society. Wave of feminism in India uplifted this problem and it produced many writers who evolved the concerns of Indian women in their work of art. Man- woman relationship, marital discord, gender discrimination, delineation of self, search for identity, male hegemony and female subordination, power and sexual politics etc. are the prevalent themes in the fiction of contemporary writers. To mention a few Kamala Markandaya‟s Nectar in a Sieve (1954), A Silence of Desire (1960), Two Virgins(1973), Shashi Deshpande‟s That Long Silence (1988), Binding Wine(1993), A Matter of Time (1996), Moving On (2004), Roots and Shadows, Dark Hold No Terror, Anita Desai‟s Cry, the Peacock, Fire on the Mountain, Fasting, Feasting (1999), Voices in the City, Nayantara Sahgal‟s The Day in Shadow (1971), Jai Nimbkar‟s Temporary Answers(1974), A Joint Venture(1988), Githa Hariharan‟s The Thousand Faces of Night (1992), Shobha De‟s Socialite Evenings (1989), Rama Mehta‟s Inside the Haveli (1977), Bharti Mukherjee‟s Jasmine (1989), Desirable Daughters (2003), Arundhati Roy‟s God of Small of Thing (1997), Namita Gokhale‟s Paro: Dreams of Passions(1984), Manju Kapur‟s Difficult Daughters (1998), Uma Vasudev‟s The Song of Anusaya (1978), Anjana Appachana‟s Listening Now (1998), Chitra Banerji Divakaruni‟s Sister of My Heart (1999), The Vine of Desire (2002) and many more.
