  • Amar Chitra Katha and the Construction of Indian Identities
    Karline McLain, Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin AIIS Dissertation Proposal 2000 Whose Immortal Picture Stories?: Amar Chitra Katha and the Construction of Indian Identities Karline McLain Abstract: Amar Chitra Katha (“Immortal Picture Stories”), the leading Indian comic book series, enjoys a ubiquitous presence among the urban middle-class in India and the South Asian diaspora. These comic books provide a unique opportunity for the study of the definition and negotiation of a modern middle-class Indian identity, as the multiplicity of intended and received messages of the comics can be examined by studying both their creation and consumption in conjunction with a careful reading of the content. My project will challenge traditional approaches to public culture which typically focus on either creation or consumption, one at the expense of the other, by viewing both as active and contested processes which together act with text and image to continually recreate and transform identities. Furthermore, my project will engage identity formation – particularly the formation of religious identities – on both the national and transnational levels and examine the tensions between them. Background: Amar Chitra Katha has dominated the flourishing comic book market since its inception in 1967, selling over 436 titles and more than 78 million issues. Anant Pai, founder of the comics, conceived of them as a means of teaching “Indian themes and values” to western- educated Indian children who knew western history at the purported expense of Indian history and mythology. Hence the comics, which are first produced in English and then translated into Hindi and other languages according to demand, can be loosely grouped into two categories: mythologicals and historicals.

  • The Role of Poetry Readings in Dispelling the Notion That Urdu Is a Muslim Language
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 10; August 2014 The Role of Poetry Readings in Dispelling the Notion that Urdu is a Muslim Language Hiba Mirza G-1, Maharani Bagh New Delhi – 110 065 India Abstract Looking at the grim scenario of the future of Urdu in India, and its overwhelming identification with a particular community (i.e., Muslims) have indeed contributed in creating a narrow image of sectarian interests. However, the concern of the intellectuals about its declining trend, seems to be melting, if we take the case of Mushaira (poetic symposium). Through interviews with both the organisers and the attendees of Delhi Mushairas I collected a serious of impressions that speak to the role of a Mushaira in advancing a cosmopolitan, rather than a communal image of Urdu. Uniting people through poetry, mushairas temporarily dissolve differences of caste, creed and religion. Keywords: Urdu, Narrow image, declining, communal, cosmopolitan Urdu hai mera naam, main Khusro ki paheli Main Meer ki humraaz hun, Ghalib ki saheli My name is Urdu and I am Khusro’s riddle I am Meer’s confidante and Ghalib’s friend Kyun mujhko banate ho ta’assub ka nishana, Maine to kabhi khudko musalma’an nahin maana Why have you made me a target of bigotry? I have never thought myself a Muslim Dekha tha kabhi maine bhi khushiyon ka zamaana Apne hi watan mein hun magar aaj akeli I too have seen an era of happiness But today I am an orphan in my own country - Iqbal Ashar - (Translation by Rana Safvi) 1.0 Introduction India is a pluralistic society.

  • Zakir Naik: What Did I Do to Earn the Tags of ‘Dr Terror’, ‘Hate Monger’? Islamic Scholar Dr
    www.Asia Times.US NRI Global Edition Email: [email protected] September 2016 Vol 7, Issue 9 Zakir Naik: What did I do to earn the tags of ‘Dr Terror’, ‘Hate Monger’? Islamic scholar Dr. Zakir Naik wrote an open letter to Indians called ‘Five Questions and an Appeal’ where he lamented about being targeted and labeled a ‘terror preacher’ in India. In the letter, Naik said, “Of 150 countries where I’m respected and my talks are welcomed, I’m being called a terrorist influencer in my own country. What an irony. Why now, when I’ve been doing the same thing for over 25 years?”. Naik, 51, is an Islamic preacher, who founded the Islamic Research Foundation in 1991 when he started Dawah or religious preaching. His lectures mostly revolve around how Islam is superior to all other faiths. While he claims to be an advocate of interfaith dialogue, his preaching’s’ reinforce all the stereotypes which exist against Muslims. Following reports that one of the militants of Dhaka terror attack was inspired by Naik’s misinterpretations of Islam, there are growing demand for strict action against him. In the letter, Naik asks why he has become the enemy number one for the State and Central government. “It has been over two months since the ghastly terror attack in Dhaka, and over one month since I’ve been asking myself what exactly have I done to become the enemy number one of the media as well as the State and Central Gov- ernment,” wrote Naik. × and justice. He also questioned the repeated investigations on him by government agencies.

  • The Story of Sa Ṃ J Ñ Ā , Mother of Manu
    1 2 Th e Story of Saṃ j ñ ā , Mother of Manu: Shadow and Light in the M ā rkaṇ ḍ eya Pur ā ṇ a Raj Balkaran Th e Sanskrit narrative text Dev ī M ā h ā tmya , “Th e Greatness of Th e Goddess” (henceforth DM), extols the triumphs of an all-powerful Goddess, Durg ā , over universe-imperiling demons. Th e exploits of this formidable fi gure constitute the fi rst known Sanskrit articulation of a Great Goddess within the Indian subcontinent, indeed the fi rst occasion where the ultimate divine principle is accorded femininity. Believed to have emerged somewhere along the Narmada River c fi ft h century ce (Kinsley, 1982: 153), the DM is preserved in thousands of manuscripts across India, in remarkably stable fashion. It is recited as liturgy to Durg ā in temples, during individual daily spiritual practice, and at temples and homes during the autumnal Navar ā tri (nine nights) Hindu festival. While the DM equates supreme reality with the feminine Hindu concepts of m ā y ā , ś akti , and prakṛ ti , it posits no systematic theory; instead, it masterfully interweaves these philosophical strands—as only narrative can—into the visage of a Feminine Divine whose power surpasses that of the Vedic pantheon, and even that of the cosmic trim ū rti comprised of the great gods Brahm ā , Viṣ ṇ u, and Ś iva. Hindu narrative literature is enormously didactic in nature, functioning to preserve philosophical principles and religious ideology across the centuries. Th erefore, the overwhelming scholarly emphasis on philosophical texts over narrative literature has proven problematic.
