    eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics Impacts of Historical Pandemics on India: Through the Lens of 20th Century Hindi Literature Prachi Priyanka https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9642-8068 Sharda University, Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract India has been swept by pandemics of plague, influenza, smallpox, cholera and other diseases. The scale and impact of these events was often cataclysmic and writers offered a glimpse into the everyday life of ordinary people who lost their lives and livelihoods and suffered the angst and trauma of mental, physical and emotional loss. This paper focuses on the devastation caused by pandemics especially in the Ganges deltaic plains of India. Through selected texts of 20th century Hindi writers – Munshi Premchand, Phanishwar Nath Renu, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Bhagwan Das, Harishankar Parsai, Pandey Bechan Sharma – this paper aims to bring forth the suffering and struggles against violence, social injustices and public health crises in India during waves of epidemics and pandemics when millions died as they tried to combat the rampant diseases. Keywords: historical pandemics, 20th century Hindi Literature, pandemic literature, epidemics in India, cholera, smallpox, plague, influenza . eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics publishes new research from arts, humanities, social sciences and allied fields on the variety and interrelatedness of nature, culture, and society in the tropics.

  • Kanga, Firdaus (B
    Kanga, Firdaus (b. 1959) by Niladri R. Chatterjee Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com While an explicit gay presence in Indian literature can be detected as early as 1924, in "Chocolate," a Hindi short story by Pandey Bechan Sharma, Firdaus Kanga is the first Indian author, writing in any language, to produce a novel with a gay protagonist. He is not only a pioneer in Indian gay fiction, but he has also explored the intersection of two kinds of marginality: that based on being a member of a sexual minority and that based on being a disabled person. Born in Bombay (as it was then called) in 1959, Kanga has had the incurable condition of osteogenesis imperfecta since birth. The condition is caused by a mutation in genes due to which the bone-forming collagen tissue is not synthesized properly. This results in extremely brittle bones and stunted growth. He stopped growing when he attained a height of four feet. Kanga belongs to the Parsi community, which fled from Persia centuries ago but is now a dramatically dwindling community in India. The Parsis of Mumbai are known for their deep Anglophilia and for their tendency to regard themselves as "reluctant Indians." Denied a physically active life accessible to an able-bodied man, Kanga built around himself a universe of literature, populated by gay writers such as James Baldwin and E.M. Forster and by English female novelists such as Iris Murdoch. Kanga initially studied law, but gave it up to pursue journalism, a course of study in which he excelled.

  • THE PERFUMED SEMEN: the LABOUR of LOVING in RURAL ORISSA, INDIA by Vaibhav Saria a Dissertation Submitted to Johns Hopkins Unive
    THE PERFUMED SEMEN: THE LABOUR OF LOVING IN RURAL ORISSA, INDIA by Vaibhav Saria A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2014 © 2014 Vaibhav Saria All Rights Reserved Dissertation Abstract This dissertation concerns itself with the everyday lives and love affairs of hijras of two districts, Bhadrak and Kalahandi, in the eastern state of Orissa, India. Hijras are now an easily recognizable figure of what is referenced as the ‘Third Gender’. Based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, I trace the various claims made by the social on the hijra body. I begin my study by looking at the forms of flirting that take place in the town markets between the hijras and the men of the village to critique easy readings of marginalization, exclusion, and stigmatization. I argue that the hijra, far from being at the outskirts of the social, actually reveals to us, through her offerings of sexual pedagogy, the erotic dynamics between the householder and the ascetic; the household and the world outside; or what I articulate as the texture and the dynamics of the social. I then proceed to locate the hijra within her family and map out her movement in the web of kinship. I do so in order to show that though the hijra stands apart from the rights and responsibilities of reproductive heteronormativity, her participation in various transactions of care render the domestic space salubrious and prevents disputes within kinship from becoming lethal. My research proceeds to offer evidence that complicates ideas about begging and the economic transactions hijras undertake on trains.

I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Jayita Sengupta and Dr. Rosy Chamling, also the Head of the Department of English, Prof Irshad Ghulam Ahmed for their support all through the period of writing my dissertation. The dissertation opened various spaces of interaction for me with many teachers, activists and individuals who eventually turned into friends. The library of the university was of immense help in looking for the books I chose as primary and secondary materials for my dissertation. Also the libraries of Kerala University I visited and Sikkim State Central Library helped me with books that became a part of my bibliography for the dissertation. I would like to thank individual people who helped me in various ways in the writing of my thesis. Parjanya Sen suggested me a list of texts and films I could look into for close study. Kalyani Vallath from Kerala put me in touch with academicians working in the field of queer studies.

  • Hindustani in 1940S Indian Cinema
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online The Eloquent Language: Hindustani in 1940s Indian Cinema David Lunn King’s College London David Lunn is a Research Associate on the European Research Council project Musical Transitions to European Colonialism in the Eastern Indian Ocean at King’s College London. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Hindi-Urdu debate that raged in pre-Independence India was to find a new medium for articulation in the arrival of the talkies – or sound in cinema – in the 1930s. Yet the inclusive register of language most commonly employed in films – both historically and currently – suggests that cinema largely sidestepped the vitriol and bright-line divisions that characterised the literary and publishing worlds. This article investigates some of the linguistic strategies employed by scriptwriters, lyricists, and producers in Hindi-Urdu-Hindustani cinema of the 1940s. It examines scripts, lyrics and poetry to explore the (de-)linking of linguistic and religious or class identities; the relationship between poetry and filmic lyrics in the person of the poet-lyricist and in the texture of their presentation; and the potential and limits of this oral/aural medium in the context of its written paratexts. Ultimately, it suggests that cinema afforded an inclusivity with respect to language, allowing for a “crystallisation” of filmi Hindustani, though this was far from a foreordained process. Keywords Hindi, Urdu, Hindustani, register, orality, advertising, Paratext, poetry, lyric, texture. ‘The curse of Babel,’ Sheikh Iftekhar Rasool said laconically, in reply to my question if talkies were likely to take India by storm as effectively as the silent film had done.

Abstract Queerness is now global. Many emerging economies of the global South are experiencing queer mobilization and sexual identity politics raising fundamental questions of citizenship and human rights on the one hand; and discourses of nationalism, cultural identity, imperialism, tradition and family-values on the other. While some researchers argue that with economic globalization in the developing world, a Western, hegemonic notion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) identity has been exported to traditional societies thereby destroying indigenous sexual cultures and diversities, other scholars do not consider globalization as a significant factor in global queer mobilization and sexual identity politics. This paper aims at exploring the debate around globalization and contemporary queer politics in developing world with special reference to India.

  • From Punch to Matˡva¯La¯: Transcultural Lives of a Literary Format
    From Punch to Matˡva¯la¯: Transcultural Lives of a Literary Format Prabhat Kumar Punch, or the London Charivari was a popular nineteenth-century English satirical periodical not only in Britain but also outside its national territory. While much has been written about the history of the periodical in Britain, Punch’s transcultural lives as a literary format beyond Britain are yet to be documented.1 This chapter attempts to map its transcultural journey in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Hindi literary sphere.2 I will begin by delineating the characteristic features of Punch. At the risk of simplification it can be summarised as follows:3 1. It publicised the carefully cultivated personalised self of Mr Punch in the role of an irreverent iconoclast and a slayer of privileges, corruption and deceit. 2. It also constituted a parody of newspapers in its own right. It had all the features of a typical periodical and consisted of editorials and other news columns and 1 I use the plural form ‘lives’ because Punch inspired any number of periodicals in the nineteenth century, cutting across literary cultures in South Asia, China, Japan, Egypt, and Turkey, not to mention Europe. In South Asia its reverberations were felt not only in English-language periodicals owned by Europeans, as well as Indians, but in Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Urdu, Hindi, etc., as well. For an elementary survey in South Asia see Partha Mitter, “Cartoon and the Raj,” History Today, 47, no. 9 (1997).
