  • Nissim Ezekiel's Modern Position: 'A Clean Break with the Romantic Past'
    ISSN. 0972 - 8406 The NEHU Journal, Vol XIV, No. 2, July-December 2016, pp.33-53 Nissim Ezekiel’s Modern Position: ‘A Clean Break with the Romantic Past’ MOHAMMAD SHAFIQUL ISLAM* Abstract Nissim Ezekiel (1924-2004), a pioneering Indian English poet, incorporates both romantic and modern elements into his poetry. Romantic in the early career, he subsequently resolves to redesign his poetic world with the images of urbanity, and so contemporary India takes a leading space in his poetry. This paper is an attempt to demonstrate Ezekiel’s position as a modern poet who, breaking attachment with the romantic past, establishes himself as the Indian representative of western modernism. Keywords: Nissim Ezekiel, Indian English Poetry, Romantic, Modern, Western Influences issim Ezekiel, one of the most acclaimed Indian English poets, takes poetry as a lifelong vocation, and adorns his literary career through Nhumble aspirations. Acknowledged as the father of modern Indian English poetry, he is the master of many forms of art. A prolific dramatist, critic, broadcaster and social commentator, Ezekiel also taught at different universities in India, UK and USA as a professor of literature. He had a poetic being in his inner world. The following comments on Ezekiel are important to note: Human nature is the fount whence Ezekiel’s poetry springs. He has delved deeply into the realms of Indian culture and what his eyes have seized is his poetry. He is a role model for Indian English poetry. With him the vernal breeze of new poetry bursts into the castle of Indian English poetry to sweep the long existed cobwebs away.

  • 'Introspection' in Nissim Ezekiel's Poetry:A Brief Note
    INFOKARA RESEARCH ISSN NO: 1021-9056 Theme of Alienation and ‘Introspection’ in Nissim Ezekiel’s Poetry:A brief Note M.Jayashree, Ph.D Scholar in English (P.T), E.M.G.Yadava College for Women, MADURAI – 625 014. Tamil Nadu, India. Abstract:This is an attempt to project Nissim Ezekiel as one of the major poets in Indian English literature in the current literary scenario, who is the one gifted with the power of influencing the theory and practice of several younger poets in addition to his own pioneering creative contribution to Indian poetry in English. It examines rather significantly how Ezekiel stands for simplicity, clarity, coherence, lucidity in art and literature and his poetic skill in treatment of various themes like loneliness, alienation and introspection, by bringing home the point that his poetry, acclaimed for its quality and vivacity, renders the contemporary themes of alienation, spiritual emptiness, isolation and fragmentation with humor, compassion and irony. Keywords: literary scenario, theory, practice, creative contribution, art, literature, alienation, introspection, compassion irony. Nissim Ezekiel, one of the major poets in Indian English literature, has expressed valuable ideas on literature and life in his letters, critical writings, poetic compositions and also interviews. He was in the vanguard of Indian poets writing in English. Much feted and acclaimed during his life time, Ezekiel was born on 6th Dec, 1924 in Bombay to Jewish (Bene-Israel) parents, who were deeply involved in education. He had his schooling at Antonio D’Souza High School and then studied at Wilson College, Bombay and later at Birbeck College, London (1948-52).

  • Nissim Ezekiel's Literary Skill in Depicting Indian
    Research Paper Peer Reviewed Monthly Journal AIJRRR Impact Factor: 5.002 ISSN :2456-205X NISSIM EZEKIEL’S LITERARY SKILL IN DEPICTING INDIAN SENSIBILITY AND SOCIAL REALITY WITH A HUMANISTIC STRAIN IN HIS POETRY: AN APPRAISAL Dr. S. Chelliah Professor, Head and Chairperson, School of English & Foreign Languages, Department of English & Comparative Literature, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. Abstract This paper attempts to describe Nissim Ezekiel as the pioneer of “New Poetry” by his greater variety and depth than any other poet of the post-independence period and shows how Ezekiel brought a sense of discipline, self-criticism and mastery to Indian English Poetry through use of simplicity of thought and lucid language style in modern poetry. No doubt, the Indian element in Ezekiel’s poetry derives its strength from his choice of themes and allusions and his poetry does pasteurized the social aspects of Indian with a humanistic strain raising a bitter voice against the thoughts of injustice and inequality. Finally, it attests to the common fact that Ezekiel had been encouraging the Indian sensibility and Indian context through his poetic outpourings in verse forms. Key Words: Indian Sensibility, Humanity, Introspection, Realistic Experiences, in justice. Indian English poetry is generally found to be remarkable for profound experimentation and vivid presentation of contemporary reality. The so-called political situation due to the partition of the country assassination of the Mahatma, the rapid urbanization and sound industrialization of the nation, the total disintegration of village community, the essential problem of cultural identity and the swift changes in cultural and societal values and issues did significantly compel the attention of the new poets all and sundry.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

  • Nissim Ezekiel: a Poet of Social Conscience Mr
    www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN 2278 – 9529 Nissim Ezekiel: A Poet of Social Conscience Mr. Suresh Pandurang Patil (Asst. Professor in English) Shri. Vijaysinha Yadav Arts & Science College, Peth Vadgaon Nissim Ezekiel was born in December 24, 1924 in Mumbai, India and died in January 9, 2004 in Mumbai. Born to Bane-Israel Jewish Parents, Ezekiel emerged as a founding father of Indian English Poetry who enriched it with affluent poetical works of an international standard. His outstanding anthology includes 'A Time to Change' (1952), 'Sixty Poems' (1953), 'The Third' (1959), 'The Unfinished Man' (1960), 'The Exact Name' (1965), 'Hymns in Darkness' (1976), and 'Latter-Day Psalms' (1982). Ezekiel's poetry bears the diverse influences that sharpened and disciplined his poetic art. As a professional, he brought a sense of discipline, self-criticism and mastery of words to Indian English Poetry. His theory of poetry is "that every poet knows what it is to be delighted with the poem he has written, while at the same time to feel the misery at the thought that a better poem was sacrificed to it". His new modern poetry is steeped with irony, sceptical attitude, restrained emotions, critical self-consciousness and with an intellectual purpose. His primary concern is not oriental India which abounds with the Maharajas, snake-charrmers, sadhus and magicians with supernatural powers but truly India. Though Jewish by birth, he never disclaims his linkage with India. He writes : "India is simply my environment, A man can do something for and in his environment by being fully what he is, by not withdrawing from it.

  • Love As the Subject Matter in the Poetry of Nissim Ezekiel
    Love as the Subject Matter in the Poetry of Nissim Ezekiel Dr. Seema Dalal, B.A., B.Ed., M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:8 August 2013 ================================================================= Nissim Ezekiel (1924-2004) Abstract The present paper seeks to examine the various dimensions of love as subject matter in Nissim Ezekiel’s poetry. Ezekiel’s poetry manifests love in its various forms ranging from ideal to physical to spiritual. Ezekiel’s passion for flesh is so strong that despite his best effort to subdue his tone, he fails as is evident in his various love poems. This basic feature gave the readers profound, evocative and meaningful love poetry. In his love poems, we find him changing his tone quite often but the subject remains more or less the same—the flesh which at times distils in pure form of spiritual love. Three Strands of Love Theme in Nissim Ezekiel Love has been the subject matter of a great amount of poetry in its various forms---ideal, sexual, matrimonial, etc. In the postcolonial period, Nissim Ezekiel has been acclaimed to be first and foremost a poet of love and many of his poems, specially his love lyrics, “deal with private experiences” (Introduction xxi). Love in Nissim’s poetry can be divided into three broad strands, namely, ideal or pure love, sexual and matrimonial. The first category of love is of pure love or love in its spiritual aspect. It is maintained that ideal love consists in adoration of woman without paying Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 13:8 August 2013 Dr.

  • Poetic and Social Development in Indian English Poetry
    www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN 2278 – 9529 Poetic and Social Development in Indian English Poetry Ajit Kumar Indian English poetry emerges as a powerful weapon for world society . In the beginning , it has a big difference being Indian poets in English. The difference like on linguistic, content and skills levels. The journey of Indian literature commences from the social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy who protested firstly against the exploitation of woman and advocated the rights of press in his writings as well as actions and movements. According to M. K. Naik, “Roy wrote A Defense of Hindu Theism which was “the first and original publication in the history”(81). Later on Henry Derozio (1808-31) who wrote first original poetry in English was less social conscious but more patriotic. Derozio and Kashiprasad set the tone for the love of India which was followed by Toru Dutt, R.N. Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, M.M. Dutt, Sri Aurobindo, Kashiprasad Ghosh, Goroo Chand Dutt and R.C. Dutt. Similarly the first quarter of twentieth century followed Romanticism, Victorianism. Poets like ‘Meherji, A.F. Khabardar, N.B. Thadhani, Nizamat Jung, Harendra Nath Chattopadhyaya, and Ananda Acharya exploited Indian and oriental thought in the typical Indian manner’. The second quarter of twentieth century leaded a rich harvest of poets like ‘V.N. Bhushan, S.R. Dongerkery, T.P. Kailasam, N. Krishna Murti and A. Menezes’ continued the humanistic trend while Nolini Kant Gupta, Dilip Kumar Roy, E.L. Vaswani, Nirodvaran K.D. Sethna, Nishi Kanto, and Themis carried forward the tradition of mystical poetry.

  • Sita Devi-Shanta Devi and Women's Educational Development in 20 Century Bengal
    Volume : 1 | Issue : 1 | January 2012 ISSN : 2250 - 1991 Research Paper Education Sita Devi-Shanta Devi and Women's Educational Development in 20th Century Bengal * Prarthita Biswas * Asst. Prof., Pailan College of Education, Joka, Kolkata ABSTRACT This synopsis tries to investigate the cultural as well as educational development of women of the 20th Century Bengali society which has been observed in the writing writings of Shanta Devi and Sita Devi concerning women and to examine in details about the women's literary works during that time. It would be fruitful to historically review the short stories as well as the novels of both Shanta Devi and Sita Devi to get a critical understanding about the various spheres they touched many of which are still being debated till date. The study may not be able to settle the debates going on for centuries about women emancipation and specially about women's educational development in 20th Century Bengal but will sincerely attempt to help scholars think in a more practical and objective manner .

  • Bombay Modern: Arun Kolatkar and Bilingual Literary Culture
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 12, No 3 & 4 (2017) Bombay Modern: Arun Kolatkar and Bilingual Literary Culture Anjali Nerlekar 292 pages, 2016, $99.95 USD (hardcover), $34.95 USD (paperback), $34.95 USD (e-book) Northwestern University Press Reviewed by Graziano Krätli, Yale University Anjali Nerlekar’s Bombay Modern is the second book-length study of the Indian poet Arun Kolatkar (1931-2004) to be published within the past couple of years, coming right after Laetitia Zecchini’s Arun Kolatkar and Literary Modernism in India (2014). The two scholars worked independently yet in awareness of each other’s research, which resulted in two books that are distinct and complementary, and equally indispensable to a better understanding of Indian poetic culture in postcolonial Bombay and beyond. Kolatkar is the quintessential posthumous poet. Wary of intercourse with commercial publishers and media in general, he carefully and selectively cultivated the art of reclusion, avoiding all kinds of publicity, shying away from interviews, and publishing very little in his lifetime. Only after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and largely thanks to the encouragement of friends - especially the poets Adil Jussawalla and Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, and the publisher Ashok Shahane - did he agree to the publication of two collections, Kala Ghoda Poems and Sarpa Satra, not long before he died in September 2004. These were followed by the New York Review of Books edition of Jejuri (2005); Arun Kolatkarchya Char Kavita (2006; a reprint of four Marathi poems originally published in 1977), and The Boatride & Other Poems (2009), both published by Pras Prakashan. The latter was edited by Mehrotra, who is also responsible for Collected Poems in English (Bloodaxe, 2010), and the forthcoming Early Poems and Fragments (Pras Prakashan).
