  • Rochester Thesis
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ASU Digital Repository The Empire's Shadow: Kiran Nagarkar's Quest for the Unifying Indian Novel by Rachel Rochester A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved November 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Daniel Bivona, Co-Chair J. Edward Mallot, Co-Chair Elizabeth Horan ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2011 ABSTRACT Kiran Nagarkar, who won the Sahitya Akedemi Award in India for his English language writing, is a man who attracts controversy. Despite the consistent strength of his literary works, his English novels have become a lightning rod – not because they are written in English, but because Nagarkar was a well-respected Marathi writer before he began writing in English. Although there are other writers who have become embroiled in the debate over the politics of discourse, the response to Nagarkar's move from Marathi and his subsequent reactions perfectly illustrate the repercussions that accompany such dialectical decisions. Nagarkar has been accused of myriad crimes against his heritage, from abandoning a dedicated readership to targeting more profitable Western markets. Careful analysis of his writing, however, reveals that his novels are clearly written for a diverse Indian audience and offer few points of accessibility for Western readers. Beyond his English language usage, which is actually intended to provide readability to the most possible Indian nationals, Nagarkar also courts a variegated Indian audience by developing upon traditional Indian literary conceits and allusions. By composing works for a broad Indian audience, which reference cultural elements from an array of Indian ethnic groups, Nagarkar's writing seems to push toward the development of the seemingly impossible: a novel that might unify India, and present such a cohesive cultural face to the world at large.

  • Stylistic Experiments in Kiran Nagarkar's Ravan and Eddie And
    International Journal of English Research International Journal of English Research ISSN: 2455-2186; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.32 Received: 31-01-2019; Accepted: 01-03-2019 www.englishjournals.com Volume 5; Issue 2; March 2019; Page No. 81-85 Stylistic Experiments in Kiran Nagarkar’s Ravan and Eddie and The Extras Dr. Pravin Waghmare Research Scholar, Shri Shivaji College Akola, Maharashtra, India Abstract Kiran Nagarkar is very innovative regarding the employment of narrative techniques and stylistic devices. His novel Ravan and Eddie (1994) narrates the story of two protagonists and The Extras (2012) is a sequel to it. In The Extras the first chapter is repeated exactly from the first novel. The novel traces the adult lives of Ravan and Eddie as extras in Bollywood. He has used various techniques that suit the multicultural reality of his fictional world. His irony is seething and humour is replete with tragic connotations. It is through the dexterous use of stylistic devices he brings out the tragic absurdity of life. His narrative techniques are characterized by black comedy and the flippant attitude to look at the world of sorrows and sufferings he has created is his forte. The present paper attempts to find the manner in which the stylistic devices have been fused to create the impression of life as it is seen and experienced by the novelist. Keywords: stylistic device, narration, black humour irony, paradox, hyperboles Introduction discussion and analysis, but on more impersonal issues, The famous romantic poet and a critic, S.T. Coleridge issues which are related tangentially to the story- for firmly believes that all arts achieve their form from within example, the disquisition on Hindi films, or the meditation and there is no imposition from without.

  • The Researcher Is Intended to Study His Select Novels and Want to Focus on Socio-Cultural Issues in His Select Novels
    Review of Literature: The researcher is intended to study his select novels and want to focus on socio-cultural issues in his select novels. Indian society is caste and religion based society. Earlier, they were all regarded equal in social status and could take up any profession they liked. There was no restriction in the matter of eating food or marriage with members of other profession. But with the beginning of specializing in hereditary professions and coming with contact with indigenous people situations changed and the birth of people decided their caste. Hence the varna system was developed that time was an outcome of social and economical development. But as time passed it led the divisions of society. He has read some articles on Kiran Nagarkar’s works. 1] Pande Vijay Baburao (Aug. 2011) writes in his research paper ‘Reasons for Cross- Culturalism in the Works of V’ S’ Naipaul,’ he presents Indian Immigrants to retain Indianness. Naipaul’s work reflects Cross-culturalism in Religion, tradition, taboos, orthodoxies, customs, rituals , superstitions, casteisms, marriage sex names education, language, clothes, manners etiquettes and food etc. 2] Suryawanshi Shivaji V and Kharbe Ram P (Nov.. 2011) has worked on ‘Cultural Harmony in Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan’. The paper attempts to explore cultural harmony and its milieu with socialization and also how cultural disharmony plays reluctant role to demonstrate menace of social disintegration in the context of partition time of India. The culture of India is one of the oldest cultures in the world. There is cultural diversity through out the country.

    JAC : A Journal Of Composition Theory ISSN : 0731-6755 Feminist interpretation in Kiran Nagarkar’s novel ‘Rest in Peace’ Misha Parnami Research Scholar Department of English University of Mumbai, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Email- [email protected] Mobile- 9009865321 Abstract The role of women is not just vital in society but has always remained vital in literature. It has drastically changed in today’s world. From always carrying out domestic chores, the women of today are at compelling positions and at par with men. At whichever position they might be, they have always remained the support system of the family. Kiran Nagarkar’s novels are exuberant not just in terms of its’ male characters but also its female characters. Strong, independent, vocal and supportive are the qualities of the women characters in his novels. Nagarkar’s trilogy: ‘Ravan & Eddie’ (1995), ‘The Extras’ (2012) and ‘Rest in Peace’ (2015) have the same women characters. The novels are a true depiction of the ‘female’ in feminism and a ‘female’ in the modern world. The research paper focuses on the female characters in the novel ‘Rest in Peace’ throwing light on their qualities that a modern woman possesses in the Indian context. Keywords: female, modern, strong, independent, vocal, supportive The notable bilingual writer, Kiran Nagarkar was a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, storyteller and drama and film critic. Born on 2 April 1942 in Bombay, in a middle- class Maharashtrian family, the writer wrote in Marathi, his mother tongue as well as in English. A Postmodern in his approach and writings he died on 5 September 2019 in Mumbai after suffering from brain hemorrhage.

  • The Postcolonial Bazaar: Marketing/Teaching Indian Literature
    The Postcolonial Bazaar: Marketing/Teaching Indian Literature ARNAB CHAKLADAR A JLx. GOOD WAY perhaps to measure the viability of a critical methodology or approach is to count the number of antholo• gies it generates. Another is to count the number of public dis• agreements among its practitioners over its very name. In the case of "postcolonial" studies — in all its typographical vari• ants — both numbers are quite high. In just the last few years at least as many as five substantial "introductions" to and readers and anthologies of "postcolonial" criticism have been pub• lished by major academic presses1. Major journals such as ARIEL, Callaloo, Critical Theory, October, PMLA, and Social Text have all published special issues on "postcoloniality."2 This has been accompanied by the growing appearance of "postcolonial" sections not just in college bookstores but also in the outlets of major popular chains. But if in all this activity it has become easier to find postcolonial criticism, there is still litde agreement over the uses and implications of the different versions of its name. These disagreements have been aired so often it may not be worth belabouring them here.3 Suffice it to say, the crux of the matter is usually that of coming to terms either with the temporality of colonialism suggested by the "post" or the affiliations with other "post-isms" that the term calls to mind. Surprisingly enough the timeline of postcolonial studies itself is usually taken for granted.
