That is where I got to know this legendary writer Krishna Sobti, who carried the weight of her name very lightly. Unlike many famous writers who choose to insulate themselves within a space that they claim as exclusive, Krishnaji’s immense zest for life, her interest in people, her genuine interest in the works of other writers, and her gift for finding humour in the most unlikely situations made her a very friendly, warm and caring person who touched our lives in myriad ways. Krishnaji left us on 25th January this year, leaving behind a tangible absence. Of her it can be truly said that she lived her life to the hilt, scripting a magnificent life for herself while illuminating the lives of many others who had the good fortune to know her.

  • Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XVII (2015) 10.12797/CIS.17.2015.17.04 Nicola Pozza [email protected] (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature Summary: The Himalayan setting—especially present-day Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—has fascinated many a writer in India. Journeys, wanderings, and sojourns in the Himalaya by Hindi authors have resulted in many travelogues, as well as in some emblematic short stories of modern Hindi literature. If the environment of the Himalaya and its hill stations has inspired the plot of several fictional writ- ings, the description of the life and traditions of its inhabitants has not been the main focus of these stories. Rather, the Himalayan setting has primarily been used as a nar- rative device to explore and contest the relationship between the mountain world and the intrusive presence of the external world (primarily British colonialism, but also patriarchal Hindu society). Moreover, and despite the anti-conformist approach of the writers selected for this paper (Agyeya, Mohan Rakesh, Nirmal Verma and Krishna Sobti), what mainly emerges from an analysis of their stories is that the Himalayan setting, no matter the way it is described, remains first and foremost a lasting topos for renunciation and liberation. KEYWORDS: Himalaya, Hindi, fiction, wandering, colonialism, modernity, renunci- ation, Agyeya, Nirmal Verma, Mohan Rakesh, Krishna Sobti. Introduction: Himalaya at a glance The Himalaya has been a place of fascination for non-residents since time immemorial and has attracted travellers, monks and pilgrims and itinerant merchants from all over Asia and Europe.

WHY AND HOW: TRANSLATING FROM THESE ‘OTHER’ LANGUAGES? Annie Montaut he wonder of a Western journalist or literature scholar at Indians writing in ‘regional’ languages T(or ‘vernacular’, or, in India, bhashas) involves an obvious understatement: why don’t you write in English, why such a bizarre inclination towards a medium vaguely perceived as archaic, or smelling of dubious revivalism, or dusty, or naïve, a folk dialect, if you wish to take part in the world dialogue of cultures and belong to the real network of the world story? It is easy to recognize the never-ending ‘orientalist’ (in Said’s meaning) bias, a colonial legacy, behind the persistent asking of the same question to bhasha writers who simply write in their mother tongue, as if English was unquestionably a better literary medium, and regional writers were defined primarily by their linguistic medium, as opposed to writers in the world’s major languages.

  • Feminine Desire Is Human Desire Women Writing Feminism in Postindependence India
    Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East Feminine Desire Is Human Desire Women Writing Feminism in Postindependence India Preetha Mani he 1950s and 1960s short stories of the Hindi woman writer Mannu Bhandari (1931 – ) and the Tamil woman writer R. Chudamani (1931 – 2010) candidly portray female characters who possess T the same desires for freedom of sexual expression, economic independence, and human equal- ity as their male partners. Both writers began publishing at a time when few women writers had gained prominence in the Hindi and Tamil literary spheres or were considered to possess the same literary merit as their male contemporaries. Yet despite introducing characters who broke with or challenged social and sexual mores of their time, the two escaped prevalent criticisms that women writers were too didac- tic, social reformist, or sentimental or that they were primarily interested in producing “shock value” or entertainment.1 Bhandari and Chudamani have consistently been published in the same elite venues as canonical Hindi and Tamil male authors and translated and anthologized in nationally and internation- ally circulating volumes of Indian literature and women’s writing.2 Written at a moment of decline in feminist politics and paucity in the production of “literary” women’s writing, what insights might Bhandari’s and Chudamani’s novel articulations of feminine desire offer into how we understand the genealogies of feminism and women’s writing in India? In this article, I suggest that within their historical and geographic contexts, Bhandari and Chudamani broadened the scope of feminist thought and women’s literary expression in the immediate postindependence mo- ment.
