    http//:daathvoyagejournal.com Editor: Saikat Banerjee Department of English Dr. K.N. Modi University, Newai, Rajasthan, India. : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.1, No.3, September, 2016 An insight into princely states of India: New-historicist approach Dr. Pooja Gupta University of Petroleum and Energy Studies Dehradun, Uttarakhand India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Princes written by Manohar Malgonkarin 1963, is a widely-read novel which covers the entire spectrum of princely life in India in 19th century—its splendour, elaborate rituals of the palaces, the harems, the concubines, the shikar parties, the sex revelry and the tyranny and despotism of the rulers. The socio-historical milieu of 1930s and 1940s forms the backdrop of this novel, which was marked by fast changing political scenario. This paper intends to look into the history of India with a new-historicist approach. This paper describes how the princes had to fight a losing battle against the upsurge of democracy in India. The political scenario prevalent during that period has been well described by the novelist. In this novel, Malgonkar depicts the life of kings and princes which appears to be full of comforts and splendor but actually it hides numerous personal tragedies under the surface, of which the world knows very little. The novel takes an indepth view of the psyche of the Princes of India as they ruled in the 19th century and the first half of 20th century, how they underwent the dilemmas and pain of being deprived of their kingdoms post independence.

  • Pakistan Wrecked Havoc in Junagadh, Akin to That of Jammu and Kashmir
    International Journal of Education and Science Research Review E-ISSN 2348-6457 Volume-2, Issue-2 April- 2015 P-ISSN 2349-1817 www.ijesrr.org Email- [email protected] Pakistan Wrecked Havoc in Junagadh, Akin To That of Jammu and Kashmir P. Kumar Research Scholar Mewar University Rajasthan ABSTRACT: The State of J&K was scourged by an all out invasion from Pakistan in August of 1947, just days after it signed the Standstill Agreement with it. But it falls to reason that Jinnah Saheb, the crafty politician, did not stay complacent towards any of the other 554 Princely States either, as one by one they acceded to India. The fact that an overwhelming majority of the Princely States‟ rulers, both Hindu and Muslim, chose to join the Indian Dominion was not due to any lack of effort on his part. Quite naturally, after all those people who wished to do so, shifted residence between India and Pakistan; there were more Muslims remaining in India than in Pakistan. The ever persistent Jinnah put in herculean tactics to obtain as many Hindu and Muslim States for Pakistan as he could. Jinnah tried desperately, to influence the rulers of States like Hyderabad, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Amarkot, Junagadh, Mangrol, Manavadar and many many more such States to accede to Pakistan. All these States had an overwhelming Hindu majority population. It‟s ironic that if the rulers had succumbed to the Charlatanry of Jinnah, Pakistan would indeed be an Islamic Republic; founded on Islamic theosophy, but with the amassed area occupied predominantly by Hindus. They would obviously not remain such for long, had that eventuality occurred.
