Annadurai, M.A., M.Phil., (Ph.D.) ==================================================================== Abstract Richard Wright was an influential Afro-American writer. His remarkable works serve as compelling socio-political documents on the lives and experiences of the black people in America. They bring out the inexplicable horrors of existing as black race in an environment of racism and segregation. His works vehemently attacked the white oppression and brought out its important impact on the psyche of the black people. They depicted the phase of suffering in the lives of black men and women in America before they earned their freedom and equality.

Annadurai, M.A., M.Phil., (Ph.D.) Social and Racial Concerns in the Select Works of Richard Wright 1 present article attempts to bring out the novelist's social and racial concerns for the black men and women by studying his works - Uncle Tom's Children (1938) and Native Son (1940) Keywords Richard Wright, Black people, black literature, African American literature, Uncle Tom's Children, Native Son Introduction Richard Wright was a highly talented short story writer, novelist, dramatist, and poet. He was born in Mississippi in 1908. He could not complete his education due to his father's desertion, family poverty and the oppressive climate of America. Wright developed his writing skills by reading the works of writers like Dostoyevsky, Mencken, Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis. Fed up with the life in the South, he moved to Chicago in 1927. It was the time of Great Depression. Wright struggled to live with his mother and brother by working in small jobs. He joined the Communist party and published articles, fictional works, and many poems in the newspapers managed by the party. His works earned his publicity as well his political hostility. In 1946, Wright moved to France with his white wife and became an American expatriate. In France, he came into contact with famous existentialist writers like Camus and Sartre. He developed a good relationship with fellow expatriate writers like Himes and Baldwin. He was profoundly influenced by the works of Mencken, Gertrude, Stein, Sinclair Lewis, Proust, and Dostoevsky. As Alan Wald say, "Much of his (Richard Wright's) literature concerns racial themes, especially those involving the plight of African Americans during the late 19th to mid- 20th centuries. Literary critics believe his work helped change race relations in the United States in the mid 20th century." Uncle Tom's Children Richard Wright's Uncle Tom's Children (1938) is a collection of six short stories. It deals with issues related to racism and violence in the South America, where the author grew up as a young man.

Annadurai, M.A., M.Phil., (Ph.D.) Social and Racial Concerns in the Select Works of Richard Wright 2 The Ethics of Jim Crow is autobiographical, and it relates Wright's first experience of racism. He was playing a warring game with some white children. Unexpectedly, the game becomes his first experience of racism. At the workplace, he suffers racial bias and violence at the hands of his co-workers. He witnesses the sufferings and humiliations of black men and women due to subjugation and oppression everywhere. The next story Big Boy Leaves Home narrates the shocking tale of violence of Big Boy, a black teenager and his friends Buck, Lester, and Bobo. When the friends are playing in a swimming pool of the whites, a white woman screams for help upon which his fiancée, an officer opens fire on the four black boys. Buck and Lester are killed in the firing. Big Boy snatches the Whiteman's gun and kills him. He hides in a kiln the whole night and flees to Chicago the next morning with the help of a black truck driver. When hiding in the hills, he witnesses his friend Bobo tarred and burnt alive by the white mob. Down by the Riverside is set against a flood which threatens to kill Mann and his family. Mann manages to save his family members. He takes his heavily pregnant wife, his son and mother-in-law to the hospital in a stolen boat.

  • An Introduction to Indian English Literature
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 2 February 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 An Introduction to Indian English Literature Sweta J. Barot Ph.d. Scholar, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad. ABSTRACT Indian English literature (IEL) is the body of work by writers in India who write in the English language and whose native or co-native language could be one of the numerous languages of India. Its early history began with the works of Michael Madhusudan Dutt followed by R. K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao who contributed to Indian fiction in the 1930s. It is also associated with the works of members of the Indian diaspora who are of Indian descent. It is frequently referred to as Indo-Anglian literature. (Indo-Anglian is a specific term in the sole context of writing that should not be confused with Anglo-Indian). As a category, this production comes in the broader realm of postcolonial literature—the production from previously colonized countries such as India. Key Word : Literature, History, Later history, Poetry, Writers Introduction : Indian writing in English has a relatively short but highly charged history. In 1793, Sake Dean Mahomed wrote perhaps the first book by an Indian in English, called The Travels of Dean Mahomed. However, most early Indian writing in English was non-fictional work, such as biographies and political essays. This began to change in the late 1800s, when famous Indian authors who wrote mostly in their mother tongue, began to try their hand at writing in English. In the early 1900s, Rabindranath Tagore began translating his works from Bengali to English.

ABSTRACT Nayantara Sahgal is the daughter of Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Jawahar Lal Nehru’s sister. She is a gifted writer whose main concerns are human values and complex human relationships. Her novels are . ‘The Day in shadow, Rich Like Us and Mistaken Identity.’ She has been in touch with political life and political people and therefore her novels about political background are very realistic. A Time to be Happy presents the advent of Indian Independence. Here the researcher finds the enigmas of the East-West encounter. The protagonist Sanad Shiva Pal faces the problem or regaining his roots because of his English education and distance from his own culture and people. But the message is that to find one’s roots is the time to be happy. KEYWORDS : Nayantara, Patriarchal, Feministic, Humanistic. INTRODUCTION Indian writing in English is the part of the literatures in India. It is now free from the shackles of the British hangover quite distinctly and it is now the expression of a distinct and fairly identifiable Indian sensibility. A large number of Indian writers have written with assurance and inwardness. Right from Raja Ram Mohan Roy to writers writing in English today, one can find a distinct quality of Indianness about them.

  • Political Issues Dealt in Nayanthara Saghal's Rich
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) POLITICAL ISSUES DEALT IN NAYANTHARA SAGHAL’S RICH LIKE US Author1 A BHUVANESWARI1 Assistant Professor, Author2 ELAYAKUMAR2 Assistant Professor DHANALAKSHMI SRINIVASAN COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE FOR WOMEN (AUTONOMOUS) Abstract Therefore, Sahgal's novels are not only an outstanding section of the Indian English novel, but also summarize the story of India's struggle for freedom and the changes it has brought about in India's traditional social structure. Sahgal is exceptional in both her creative flexibility and the way she projects national consciousness. In their own way and style, alThroughout her novels, Nayantara Sahgal also established her beliefs. Before and after independence, Sahgal's novels offer a realistic image of India. In content and nature and in her opinion, she considers her novels to be political; each of the novels more or less represents the political period that we were going through. While Sahgal was largely hailed as a political writer, her feminist interest is clear, and her fighter-spirit is quite articulate in her literature. In all her works, there is a juxtaposition of two worlds: the personal world of man-woman relationship and the impersonal world of politics. Key Words-Political, Politics, Nayantara Sahgal. Political issues dealt in Nayantara Saghal’s Rich Like Us Nayantara Sahgal is one of the renowned authors of Indo-English writing in the stream of national consciousness. In the 1950s, the first wave of major female authors started publishing their work. Kamala Markandaya, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Santha Rama Rau were all active on the literary scene.

  • Identity Perspective in Nayantara Sahgal's Fiction
    International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management (IJREAM) ISSN : 2454-9150 Identity Perspective in Nayantara Sahgal's Fiction Sk. Mohammad Basha, Head of the Department of English, A.P.R. Degree College, Nagarjuna Sagar, Macherla Mandal, Guntur, Dist. Andhra Pradesh, India. [email protected] Abstract - The striking feature of the modern phase of Indo-Anglian novel is the contribution made by the women novelists. Though the women novelists of the early days, like Toru Dutt (Binaca or The Young Spanish Maiden, 1878) and Krupabai Sathinathan (Kamala: A Story of Hindu Wife, 1894) turned to romanticism, didacticism and sentimentalism which weakened their novels, the women novelists of the latter years offered convincing portraits of the world with an admirable awareness of the contemporary problems. Among them "the best and the most neglected is Mrs. R.P. Jhabwala, the most gifted is Karnala Markandaya, the most courageous is Nayantara Sahgal and the newest is Anita Desai.” Nayantara Sahgal is a conscientious novelist whose artistic make up is much influenced by Bankimchandra Chatterji's romanticism, Rabindranath Tagore's humanism, Sarathchandra Chatterji‟s understanding of the human heart and Premchand's sympathy for the suffering people. She is a „child of Gandhiji‟s India‟, who is born at a time “when India was being reborn from an incarnation of darkness into one of light.” Nayantara Sahgal has published eight novels to date as well as some short stories, two volumes of Auto-biography and six books of nonfiction. Her work has been acclaimed both in India and abroad. She cannot be relegated to back seat in van of Indo-Anglian Literature.

  • Elliptic Feminism and Nationalism in Nayantara Sahgal's Rich Like Us Harveen Sachdeva Mann, Loyola University, Chicago
    Elliptic Feminism and Nationalism in Nayantara Sahgal's Rich Like Us Harveen Sachdeva Mann, Loyola University, Chicago Since its publication in 1985, Nayantara Sahgal's novel Rich Like Us has been overwhelmingly praised by critics as an insightful political fiction, winning for the author the coveted Sahitya Akademy Award (India) and the Sinclair Prize (Britain). Because the chief temporal setting of the text—from 1932 to 1975—en­ compasses both the Indian independence movement and its aftermath, leading up to and including the infamous political Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi, and because it overtly treats questions of governmental policy, the majority of scholars have focused almost exclusively upon the novel's engagement with national poli­ tics, disregarding the implications of such a macro-narrative for the micro-narra­ tive of gender. O.P. Mathur, for example, commends Rich Like Us solely as an ex­ posé of the "objectives and functioning of the Emergency" and the "nexus linking politics, business, and crime."1 More telling is Ramesh Chadha's emphasis upon the mutual exclusivity of Sahgal's national and gender politics as she asserts that "along with the political themes, [Sahgal] also portrays the modern Indian wom­ an's search for individual freedom and self-realization."2 Thus failing to analyze the negative relational links between the discourses of nation and woman, Chadha unproblematically describes Rich Like Us as a "feminist" text.3 Further, no critic has investigated the fissures that mark Sahgal's (ostensible) nationalist sympathies in the novel. On the contrary, Jasbir Jain praises it as a discerning "po­ litical biography," "the story of a country ..

  • Assorted Expressions of Power in the Women Characters of Nayantara Sahgal's Rich Like Us Kalyanee Rajan
    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.2/ NO.2/Autumn 2012 Assorted Expressions of Power in the Women Characters of Nayantara Sahgal’s Rich Like Us Kalyanee Rajan ______________________________________________________________________________ “The country had been in a mess, people screaming for more wages or bonus, or just screaming, too many political parties, so humiliating to explain to foreigners. And then overnight a magical calm had descended like in Taiwan or Singapore. The idea of a leader, someone to look up to...fulfilled a yearning for tidiness, and a woman in command put at least one woman beyond the furies all others face. And then the Emergency was so popular.” (Rich Like Us 87, emphasis added) Nayantara Sahgal (b. 1927) hails from the “first family” of Indian politics with Jawaharlal Nehru for maternal uncle, she being the daughter of Vijaylakshmi Pandit and a Maharashtrian Sanskrit scholar Ranjit Sitaram Pandit. A major part of her childhood was spent in the ancestral home of the Nehrus– the Anand Bhawan in Allahabad, replete with early memories of the freedom movement as documented in her first autobiography –Prison and Chocolate Cake (1954). Her sixth and perhaps the best novel, Rich Like Us (1985) was awarded the Sinclair Prize in 1985 and the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1986. Given her fascination and natural engagement with politics, Sahgal spins her tales around significant political events in the country, deftly tracing their implications in the personal lives of the men and women at the helm, as it were, of Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) ISSN 2249-4529, Vol.2/ NO.2/Autumn 2012 URL of the Issue: http://pintersociety.com/vol-2-issue-2autumn-2012/ URL of the article: http://pintersociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Kalyanee -Rajan-16.pdf © www.pintersociety.com 1 Assorted Expressions of Power in the Women Characters of Nayantara Sahgal’s Rich Like Us such affairs.

These are the words of Dr. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe’s play Dr Faustus. The play was written almost in the same year as the East India Company launched upon its trading adventures in India. Marlowe’s words here symbolize the Elizabethan spirit of adventure. Dr. Faustus sells his soul to the devil, converts his knowledge into power, and power into an earthly paradise. British East India Company had a similar ambition, the ambition of power. The English came to India primarily as traders. The East India Company, chartered on 31 December, 1600, was a body of the most enterprising merchants of the City of London. Slowly, the trading organization grew into a ruling power. As a ruler, the Company thought of its obligation to civilize the natives; they offered their language by way of education in exchange for the loyalty and commitment of their subjects.

  • (Re-)Imagining the Nation: the Indian Historical Novel in English, 1900-2000
    Negotiating History, (Re-)imagining the Nation: The Indian Historical Novel in English, 1900-2000 by Md. Rezaul Haque Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (The University of Sydney, 2004) Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English, Creative Writing and Australian Studies Flinders University, South Australia June 2013 1 Table of Contents Introduction (6-45) Chapter 1 (46-92) Fiction, History and Nation in India Chapter 2 (93-137) The Emergence of Indian Historical Fiction: The Colonial Context Chapter 3 (138-162) Revivalist Historical Fiction 1: Padmini: An Indian Romance (1903) Chapter 4 (163-205) Revivalist Historical Fiction 2: Nur Jahan: The Romance of an Indian Queen (1909) Chapter 5 (206-241) Nationalist History Fiction 1: Kanthapura (1938) Chapter 6 (242-287) Nationalist History Fiction 2: The Lalu Trilogy (1939-42) Chapter 7 (288-351) Feminist History Fiction: Some Inner Fury (1955) Chapter 8 (352-391) Interventionist History Fiction: The Shadow Lines (1988) Chapter 9 (392-436) Revisionist Historical Fiction: The Devil’s Wind (1972) Conclusion (437-446) Bibliography (447-468) 2 Thesis Summary As the title of my project suggests, this thesis deals with Indian historical fiction in English. While the time frame in the title may lead one to expect that the present study will attempt a historical overview of the Indian historical novel written in English, that is not a primary concern. Rather, I pose two broad questions: the first asks, to what uses does Indian English fiction put the Indian past as it is remembered in both formal history and communal memory? The second question is perhaps a more important one so far as this project is concerned: why does the Indian English novel use the Indian past in the ways that it does? There is as a consequence an intention to move from the inner world of Indian historical fiction to the outer space of the socio-political reality from which the novel under consideration has been produced.

  • Indian Novels in English: the Rise and Popularity
    INDIAN NOVELS IN ENGLISH: THE RISE AND POPULARITY ANURAG PANDEY Research Scholar, Department of English, University of Allahabad. (UP) INDIA Indian novels in English have generated a considerable amount of interest both in India and in English-speaking countries, particularly during India’s post-liberalization period since 1991. For India, this period has seen unparalleled consumption of global goods and exposure to international media, and has resulted in Indian writers writing in English (including writers of Indian origin) catching the attention of the Western world like never before. The nineteen nineties proved a significant period for the Indian novel written in English. This period saw some of the writers making a successful debut in creative writing as novelists and winning prestigious international award like Booker Prize and commonwealth Writers Prize. This period witnessed further consolidation of the ground won by the novel at the cost of other genres. More than the eighties, it is in the nineties that readers and critics paid their undivided attention to the Indian novel written in English. Referring to this Nanavati and Kar remark:“It is perhaps the only form of writing that instantly acquires a world-wide visibility as it is created” (14). Not only in India but all over the world, the novel is more read, more appreciated and even more marketed than poetry, “its traditional rival”. Significantly enough, at various conferences of Indian Association for Studies in Contemporary Literature, held in various universities of India, the majority of papers submitted were about the Indian English novel, especially the novel in the nineties.
