  • Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel
    248 Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel: A Comparative Analysis The fifth chapter incorporating the title of thesis offers the comparative analysis of resemblances and differences in Narayan and Pannalal’s literary career. To study these novelists in comparative approach, the factors like their birth and family, sources of inspiration, educational career, domestic life and economic struggle, evaluation as a writer, publisher, sense of regionalism, and thematic study of their works along with critical reception and Gandhian perspectives are examined. Comparing biographical details and their location, we observe that Pannalal Patel was born on 7th of May, 1912 and died in 1989 on 6th of April while R.K. Narayan was born on 10th of October, 1906 and died in 2001 on 14th of May. Narayan’s life span in comparison to Pannalal is almost two decades longer. Both were the product of the first half of the twentieth century. The first two decades of the twentieth century gave India its luminous stars and enriched its literary world. This period in Indian literature has been assigned the title like Pre- independence period or Colonial phase. Pannalal Patel belonged to Anjana Patel caste known as Chaudhari community. The majority of this community resides in Mahesana, Sabarkantha, Patan and Banaskantha district of North Gujarat state. The Chaudhari community has also been spread in some other states like Rajasthan and Haryana in India. Now-a-days this community is prescribed in the list of SEBC (Socially and Economically Backward Class) category in a state like Gujarat.

  • 1. Satyagraha in South Africa1
    1. SATYAGRAHA IN SOUTH AFRICA1 FOREWORD Shri Valji Desai’s translation has been revised by me, and I can assure the reader that the spirit of the original in Gujarati has been very faithfuly kept by the translator. The original chapters were all written by me from memory. They were written partly in the Yeravda jail and partly outside after my premature release. As the translator knew of this fact, he made a diligent study of the file of Indian Opinion and wherever he discovered slips of memory, he has not hesitated to make the necessary corrections. The reader will share my pleasure that in no relevant or material paricular has there been any slip. I need hardly mention that those who are following the weekly chapters of My Experiments with Truth cannot afford to miss these chapters on satyagraha, if they would follow in all its detail the working out of the search after Truth. M. K. GANDHI SABARMATI 26th April, 19282 1 Gandhiji started writing in Gujarati the historty of Satyagraha in South Africa on November 26, 1923, when he was in the Yeravda Central Jail; vide “Jail Diary, 1923.” By the time he was released, on February 5, 1924, he had completed 30 chapters. The chapters of Dakshina Africana Satyagrahano Itihas, as it was entitled, appeared serially in the issues of the Navajivan, beginning on April 13, 1924, and ending on November 22, 1925. The preface to the first part was written at Juhu, Bombay, on April 2, 1924; that to the second appeared in Navajivan, 5-7-1925.

  • IJESM Volume 3, Issue 4 ISSN
    November 2011 IJRSS Volume 1, Issue 2 ISSN: 2249-2496 Existence, Non-Recognition and Denial: The Case of Other Backward Classes Anjaiah S* Abstract If Nehru promised certain safeguards for the backward classes in the Objectives Resolution, the constitution did not contain any rights for them. What is the mandate of the Article 340? Is it to identify the shudras or the left out dalits from the purview of reservation is one of the big conundrums. What should be the criterion to identify is also another dilemma. Should caste alone sufficient? Should class also be utilised is another matter. The Congress and its complete neglect of the backward classes is due to the concept of “coalition of extreme” strategy adopted by it. That is the reason why the Congress has ignored the first backward classes commission and second backward classes commission reports. But with the rise of the BJP and earlier Janata party the backward classes and their numbers have become very important. In the process BJP has made the Congress party to also gain the support of the backward classes. Keywords: Phule Ambedkar Article 340 Kalelkar Mandal Census Reservations Introduction After India got independence the question of sharing of power and representation began. There were various sections demanding for their due share in the pie of power. The makers of the Indian Constitution compensated the grievances of various sections of Indian society like dalits,adivasis and minorities. But if there was one section of society which never got anything from the constitution, it was backward classesi. The social nomenclature of this group is called the Shudras in Indian society.Shudras in Manusmriti were subjected to all kind of handicaps and humiliations and within Hinduism they have been the worst victims of caste system.
