  • Draupadi” and “Behind the Bodice” Anoushka Sinha
    Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS) ISSN: 2547-0044 http://ellids.com/archives/2019/10/3.1-Sinha.pdf CC Attribution-No Derivatives 4.0 International License www.ellids.com Resistance as Embodied Experience: A Study of Mahasweta Devi’s “Draupadi” and “Behind the Bodice” Anoushka Sinha Something fearful has happened somewhere. The nation doesn’t know it. (Mahasweta Devi, “Behind the Bodice,” emphasis added) Experience and knowledge might seem interchangeable terms. However, when theoretically examined, they pose a conflicting di- lemma in their respective nature and relation with each other. On one hand, knowledge is primarily derived from experience. The intrinsic characteristic of intimacy and immediacy of any experience catego- rizes it as highly subjective. Knowledge, on the other hand, is catego- rized as objective, pertaining to a certain universal appeal. Hereby arises a schism between the two concepts: experience and knowledge. This paper sets out to interrogate the complex relationship between the two concepts through a critical examination of Mahasweta Devi’s short fiction, “Draupadi” (1981) and “Behind the Bodice” (1996). The protagonists of these stories emerge as agents of resistance as the body becomes a crucial site of embodiment of experience. The complexity of experience and its role in the formation of the subject is explored through the course of this paper. Nation building became a significant enterprise in the forma- tion of the identity of the postcolonial India. This identity was prem- ised upon a certain idea of uniformity which led to the homogenization of the nation’s people into a particular perspective. Such perspective, in modern day liberal democracies, is exercised by the state and its various apparatuses (both repressive as well as ideological) to form a singular notion of the nation based on dominant/majoritarian views, thus stripping off its heterogeneity.

Translator'sl?rcfacc This project, which began with the desire to render into English a rather long tale by Bimal Kar about five years ago, eventually grew into a considerably more extended compilation of Bengali short stories by ten of the most well­ known practitioners of that art since the heyday of Rabindranath Tagore. The collection is limited in many ways, not the least of which being that no woman writer has been included, and that it contains only a baker's dozen stories (if we count Bonophool's micro-stories collectively as one )-a number pitifully small considering the vast and prolific field of authors and stories a translator has at his or her disposal.

  • Problematizing Verrier Elwin's View of the Tribal World
    Journal of the Department of English Vidyasagar University Vol. 12, 2014-2015 Problematizing Verrier Elwin’s View of The Tribal World Koutuk Dutta Archana Prasad in her book ‘Against Ecological Romanticism: Verrier Elwin and the Making of an Anti-Modern Tribal Identity’ ‘attempts to question the assumptions of Elwin’s ecological romanticism and challenges the unrealistic interpretation of tribal history on which they are based.’ Prasad argues that the tribal people of Central India depend on shifting cultivation and hunting and gathering only as a result of their marginalization into the forested tracts by the settlement of caste hindu cultivators in the Maratha period. The first essay is trying to unpack the myth of the ‘original inhabitant’ theory and its subsequent proposition that ‘the tribals were the inhabitants of forested areas originally and that their practices were of ancient origins.’ This essay concluded that indigenous people of central provinces were the victims of ‘two-stage’ colonization. First the fertile agricultural lands were captured by caste Hindu Maratha rulers. It also advances the theory of ‘instability and flux’ in pre-colonial India. The second phase of colonization was initiated by the ‘first direct intervention of the British in the region’. In this context she also points out that ‘the permanent settlement of agricultural and zamindarilands (1) by the British ensured that the movements of tribals between the highlands and plains were stopped forever. The second essay – ‘The Baiga and Its Eco-Logic Reinterpreting Verrier Elwin’s Cultural Ecology’ of the Baiga community was based more on ‘anthropological particularism’ than on any ‘historically valid notion of the community and change’.

    COMMUNICATOR The Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message From Editor-in-Chief At the outset, I wish to express my gratitude to all the academicians and scholars who participated and presented papers at the National Seminar on “The State of Indian Language Journalism and Training” organised by IIMC with support from Indian Council of Social Sciences and Research (ICSSR) on October, 29 and 30, 2018 at IIMC Campus. K. G. Suresh The conference was organised to Editor-in-Chief commemorate the silver jubilee of Director General, IIMC our Eastern Regional Campus at Dhenkanal, Odisha from where we started our first language journalism programme in Odia. In the last three years, we have given a major push to language journalism launching a Malayalam Journalism programme at our Kottayam, Kerala campus and Marathi Journalism programme at Amravati, Maharashtra campus. This apart, we have upgraded the Certificate programme in Urdu Journalism to a full fledged Diploma programme. We have even started a three months Advanced Certificate Programme in Sanskrit Journalism in collaboration with the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth besides setting up the Department of Indian Language Journalism. Future plans include starting Hindi and Urdu Journalism programmes from our Jammu campus and Bangla from our Odisha campus. Apart from the papers presented at the conference, many eminent academicians have also contributed to this volume. I am confident that this special issue on the state of Indian language journalism and training would be a collector’s issue for both students and scholars as also media persons across the country and would help them in better understanding of the issues at stake and take requisite steps to improve the quality and standard of both language journalism and training at a time when language journalism is growing by leaps and bounds.
