What they do not say is that women’s lives are also largely unrecorded. Women, and the work they do, slip through memory’s net leaving large gaps in our collective consciousness about challenges faced and mastered, discoveries made and celebrated, collaborations forged and valued. Combating this pervasive amnesia is not an easy task. This book is a beginning in another direction, an attempt to try and construct the professional lives of four of Mumbai’s women (where the discussion has ventured into the personal lives of these women, it has only been in relation to the professional or to their public images). And who better to attempt this construction than young people on the verge of building their own professional lives? In learning about the lives of inspiring professionals, we hoped our students would learn about navigating a world they were about to enter and also perhaps have an opportunity to reflect a little and learn about themselves. So four groups of students of the post-graduate diploma in Social Communications Media, SCMSophia’s class of 2014 set out to choose the women whose lives they wanted to follow and then went out to create stereoscopic views of them.

  • A Theatre of Their Own: Indian Women Playwrights in Perspective
    A THEATRE OF THEIR OWN: INDIAN WOMEN PLAYWRIGHTS IN PERSPECTIVE A Thesis submitted to the University of North Bengal For the Award of Doctor of Philosophy in English By PINAKI RANJAN DAS Assistant Professor of English Nehru College, Bahadurganj Under the supervision of Dr. ASHIS SENGUPTA Professor Department of English University of North Bengal Department of English University of North Bengal December, 2019 ii iii iv v Abstract In an age where academic curriculum has essentially pushed theatre studies into 'post- script', and the cultural 'space' of making and watching theatre has been largely usurped by the immense popularity of television and 'mainstream' cinemas, it is important to understand why theatre still remains a 'space' to be reckoned as one's 'own'. And to argue for a 'theatre' of 'their own' for the Indian women playwrights (and directors), it is important to explore the possibilities that modern Indian theatre can provide as an instrument of subjective as well as social/ political/ cultural articulations and at the same time analyse the course of Indian theatre which gradually underwent broadening of thematic and dramaturgic scope in order to accommodate the independent voices of the women playwrights and directors. When women playwrights and directors are brought into 'perspective', the social politics concerning women loom large. Though we come across women playwrights like Swarna Kumari Devi, Anurupa Devi or Bimala Sundari Devi in the pre-independence colonial period, it is only from the 1970s onwards that we find a significant population of Indian women playwrights and directors regularly participating in the process of 'theatre making'.

  • A Study of Mohan Rakesh's Lehron Ke Rajhans
    RECOURSE TO BUDDHIST TEXTS FOR REPRESENTATION OF MODERNITY : A STUDY OF MOHAN RAKESH’S LEHRON KE RAJHANS Pranjal Sharma Bashishtha Abstract Eminent Hindi playwright Mohan Rakesh’s (1925-72) second amateur play for the stage Lehron Ke Rajhans (‚The Great Swans of the Waves‛; Hindi: 1963) is based on Buddha’s half-brother Nanda’s conflict described in Saundarānanda, a Buddhist narrative poem composed by Ashvaghosha in the first century CE. Nanda in Saundarānanda is torn between the allure of his beautiful consort Sundari and the attraction that he feels for Buddha’s preaching of renunciation. The present paper basically investigates why Rakesh, a modern writer not interested in Buddhism per se but in representation of the nuances of modernity has chosen Nanda’s story from the Buddhist text and how he treats the Buddhist text to suit his needs. While doing so, the paper has maintained the requirements for a scientific research and has adopted the analytical method of research as a general rule, but has employed the comparative method also as and when necessary. ‚I’ve had this image in mind for a long time. Two lampstands. One tall, with a figure of a man on top of it— arms spread and eyes raised to heaven. The other short, with a woman’s figure on it— arms folded and eyes dropped to the ground,‛1— commented eminent Hindi playwright Mohan Rakesh (1925-72) on the mental image that motivated him for years to write his famous amateur play Lehron Ke Rajhans (‚The Great Swans of the Waves‛; written in 19 Hindi; published in 1963).

Volume.1 Issue 1 August 2015 Page 1 ISSN 2454-8596 www.vidhyayanaejournal.org An International Multidisciplinary Research e-Journal HISTROY OF GUJRATI DRAMA (NATAK) The region of Gujarat has a long tradition of folk-theatre, Bhavai, which originated in the 14th-century. Thereafter, in early 16th century, a new element was introduced by Portuguese missionaries, who performed Yesu Mashiha Ka Tamasha, based on the life of Jesus Christ, using the Tamasha folk tradition of Maharashtra, which they imbibed during their work in Goa or Maharashtra.[1] Sanskrit drama was performed in temple and royal courts and temples of Gujarat, it didn't influence the local theatre tradition for the masses. The era of British Raj saw British officials inviting foreign operas and theatre groups to entertain them, this in turn inspired local Parsis to start their own travelling theatre groups, largely performed in Gujarati.[2] The first play published in Gujarati was Laxmi by Dalpatram in 1850, it was inspired by ancient Greek comedy Plutus by Aristophanes.[3] In the year 1852, a Parsi theatre group had performed a Shakespearean play in Gujarati language in the city of Surat. In 1853, Parsee Natak Mandali the first theatre group of Gujarati theatre was founded by Framjee Gustadjee Dalal, which staged the first Parsi-Gujarati play,Rustam Sohrab based on the tale of Rostam and Sohrab part of the 10th-century Persian epicShahnameh by Ferdowsi on 29 October 1853, at at the Grant Road Theatre in Mumbai, this marked the begin of Gujarati theatre.

  • "Folk" Theatre* APARNA DHARWADKER
    Alternative Stages: Anti-Realism, Gender, and Contemporary Indian "Folk" Theatre* APARNA DHARWADKER I. ~'TRADlTIONAL" I~DlAN THEATRE AND TIlE STATUSOF FOLK FORl\1S n the theoretical and polemical discourses that have elaborated contemporary Indian I theatre's "encounter with tradition" since the 1960s, the notion of "tradition" usually encapsulates the full range of indigenous modes ofdrama, theatre, and performance which emerged diachronically over two millennia, but have assumed a synchronous existence in the present. Hence the term "traditional Indian theatre" signifies, in the singular or as a mass noun, the secular and classical Sanskrit drama of Kalidasa, Bhasa, and Shudraka; post­ classical North Indian religious forms like Ramlila and Raslila; classically-derived balletic forms like the Kathakali and Kutiyattam ofKerala; regional folk forms like the Yakshagana of Kamataka and the Bhavai of Gujarat; and intermediary-popular forms like the Nautanki of Uttar Pradesh, the Tarnasha of Maharashtra, and the Jatra of Bengal. Such promiscuity of signification is essential for maintaining the near-Manichaean and resolutely ahistorical opposition between "Indian tradition" and "Western modernity." In nativist, revivalist, or cultural-nationalist perspectives, all indigenous forms that predate colonialism or lie outside the sphere of European norms are valorized as natural, organic, and transcendent, whereas the products ofWestern influence are dismissed as artificial, derivative, and trivial. Moreo­ ver, such monolithic constructions ofan

  • Searching for Shakuntala: Sanskrit Drama and Theatrical Modernity in Europe and India, 1789-Present
    SEARCHING FOR SHAKUNTALA: SANSKRIT DRAMA AND THEATRICAL MODERNITY IN EUROPE AND INDIA, 1789-PRESENT AMANDA CULP Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Amanda Culp All rights reserved ABSTRACT Searching for Shakuntala: Sanskrit Drama and Theatrical Modernity in Europe and India, 1789-Present Amanda Culp Since the end of the eighteenth century, the Sanskrit drama known as Shakuntala (Abhijñānaśakuntala) by Kalidasa has held a place of prominence as a classic of world literature. First translated into English by Sir William Jones in 1789, in the intervening centuries Shakuntala has been extolled and memorialized by the likes of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich and August Wilhelm Schlegel, Theophile Gautier, and Rabindranath Tagore. Though often included in anthologies of world literature, however, the history of the play in performance during this same period of time has gone both undocumented and unstudied. In an endeavor to fill this significant void in scholarship, “Searching for Shakuntala” is the first comprehensive study of the performance history of Kalidasa’s Abhijñānaśakuntala in Europe and India. It argues that Shakuntala has been a critical interlocutor for the emergence of modern theater practice, having been regularly featured on both European and Indian stages throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moreover, it asserts that to appreciate the contributions that the play has made to modern theater history requires thinking through and against the biases and expectations of cultural authenticity that have burdened the play in both performance and reception.
