INDIAN POETRY – 20 Century Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D
th INDIAN POETRY – 20 Century Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D. Part I : Early 20th Century Part II : Late 20th Century Early 20th Century Poetry Overview Poetry, the oldest, most entrenched and most respected genre in Indian literary tradition, had survived the challenges of the nineteenth century almost intact. Colonialism and Christianity did not substantially alter the writing of poetry, but the modernism of the early twentieth century did. We could say that Indian poetry in most languages reached modernity through two stages: first romanticism and then nationalism. Urdu, however, was something of an exception to this generalisation, in as much as its modernity was implicated in a romantic nostalgia for the past. Urdu Mohammad Iqbal Mohammad Iqbal (1877?-1938) was the last major Persian poet of South Asia and the most important Urdu poet of the twentieth century. A philosopher and politician, as well, he is considered the spiritual founder of Pakistan. His finely worked poems combine a glorification of the past, Sufi mysticism and passionate anti-imperialism. As an advocate of pan-Islam, at first he wrote in Persian (two important poems being ‗Shikwah,‘ 1909, and ‗Jawab-e-Shikwah,‘ 1912), but then switched to Urdu, with Bangri-Dara in 1924. In much of his later work, there is a tension between the mystical and the political, the two impulses that drove Urdu poetry in this period. Progressives The political came to dominate in the next phase of Urdu poetry, from the 1930s, when several poets formed what is called the ‗progressive movement.‘ Loosely connected, they nevertheless shared a tendency to favour social engagement over formal aesthetics. -

Elective Course Coordinator and Team: Sanju Thomas Email of course coordinator: [email protected] Pre-requisites: None Aim: Indian English fiction has undeniably attained a grand stature among the literatures of the world. The post-Salman Rushdie era has brought in so much of commercial and critical success to Indian English fiction that it has spurred great ambition and prolific literary activities, with many Indians aspiring to write English fiction! Outside India, Indian English fiction is taken as representative writings from India, though at home the ‘Indianness’ of Indian English fiction is almost always questioned. A course in contemporary Indian English fiction will briefly review the history of Indian English fiction tracing it from its colonial origins to the postcolonial times to look at the latest trends, and how they paint the larger picture of India. Themes of nation, culture, politics, identity and gender will be taken up for in-depth analysis and discussions through representative texts. The aim will also be to understand and assess the cross-cultural impact of these writings. Brief description of modules/ Main modules: Module 1: What is Indian English Fiction? This module takes the students through a brief history of Indian English fiction, and also attempts to problematize the concept of Indian English fiction. -

Koteshwar Research Scholar The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad. e-mail : [email protected] Jeet Thayil’s first novel, Narcopolis is set mostly in Bombay in the 70s and 80s, and sets out to tell the city's secret history, when opium gave way to new cheap heroin. Thayil has said, he wrote the novel, “to create a kind of memorial, to inscribe certain names in stone”. As one of the characters (in Narcopolis) says, “it is only by repeating the names of the dead that we honor them. I wanted to honor the people I knew in the opium dens, the marginalized, the addicted and deranged, people who are routinely called the lowest of the low; and I wanted to make some record of a world that no longer exists, except within the pages of a book.” he told the Indian newspaper, The Hindu, that he had been an alcoholic (like many of the Bombay poets) and an addict for almost two decades: "I spent most of that time sitting in bars, getting very drunk, talking about writers and writing, and never writing. It was a colossal waste. I feel very fortunate that I got a second chance." Thayil has been writing poetry since his adolescence, paying careful attention to form. -
