  • Representation and Anthropomorphism of Mythical Characters in Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy
    International Journal Online of Humanities (IJOHMN) ISSN: 2395-5155 Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.24113/ijohmn.v6i1.162 Humanly Gods or Godly Humans: Representation and Anthropomorphism of Mythical Characters in Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy Aritra Basu M.Phil. Research Scholar University of Delhi Delhi, India [email protected] Abstract This paper attempts to analyse the representation of mythical characters in the three novels by Amish Tripathi, namely The immortals of Meluha, The secret of the Nagas and The oath of the Vayuputras. The protagonist is a human being, Shiva, whose bildungsroman through the trilogy transforms him into a God, but without actually changing any of his physical attributes. Thus, at the level of anthropomorphism, this method of representation sheds light on the humane aspect of the divinity. From a perspective of feminist understanding of disability, the character of Kali would be studied, as an initial outcast to an important character in the last two books. Thus, this paper would conclude that Tripathi attempts at a vision of inclusivity, by his clever techniques of the representation of the disabled and the divine alike. Keywords: Anthropomorphism, Disability, Myth, History, Marginalisation. www.ijohmn.com 96 International Journal Online of Humanities (IJOHMN) ISSN: 2395-5155 Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2020 The larger-than-life representation of characters with a divine prospect has been the signature move of Indian epics, legends, Vedas and Upanishads. While some of them were born out of a union between a God and a human, others were avatars or versions of Gods themselves.

  • A Study on the Scientific Approach Towards Vedic Shaivism in Amish Tripathi's the Shiva Trilogy
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 A Study on the Scientific Approach towards Vedic Shaivism in Amish Tripathi’s The Shiva Trilogy Sukanya Chakravarty M.Phil Research Scholar Department of English Rajiv Gandhi University Arunachal Pradesh Abstract: Myth in Indian culture has always been an aura of curiosity. Indian mythology dates back to the times of Lord Rama, Lord Shiva and our firm beliefs in the divine. It also shares with us the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The reality of Ramayana and Mahabharata as true historical events or just an epic story is still arguable. The archaeological excavations give its presence in the structures of the Indus Valley Civilization and the Harappa Cities. Amish Tripathi, the budding Indian writer focuses on such issues of historical relevance in myths. In his works we find the science behind the Vedic customs. The paper attempts to sketch the scientific superiority of the Meluhans people in the novel The Shiva Trilogy. It depicts their firm beliefs and application of medicines and science for practicing a better and healthy life. Somras an eternal drink of bliss is an effort made by the Meluhan scientists to uplift the mankind, whereas the irony is that in the process of making the somras they are indirectly destroying the Mother Nature which in a way means demolishing the mankind. Keywords: Vedic, Myth, Somras, Lord Shiva, Meluha The word ‘myth’ is derived from the Greek word ‘mythos’, which suggests story or word. Myths are moral tales usually set in distant past which are believed as true and which comprises of unearthly, supernatural or legendary characters.

  • A Critical Assessment of Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy As a Seminal Piece of Popular Fiction
    DAYDREAMING AND POPULAR FICTION: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF AMISH TRIPATHI’S SHIVA TRILOGY AS A SEMINAL PIECE OF POPULAR FICTION NEHA KUMARI DR. RAJESH KUMAR Research Scholar, Research Adviser Department of English University Professor V.B.U., Hazaribag, Department of English Jharkhand, INDIA. V.B.U., Hazaribag, Jharkhand, INDIA “Phntasy…can become a source of pleasure for the hearers and spectators at the performance of writer’s work.1” expounds Sigmund Freud, in an informal talk given in 1907 which was subsequently published in 1908 under the title Creative Writers and Day- Dreaming. In his discourse, he presented his idea on the relationship between unconscious fantasy and creative art. Notably, he presented this relationship centreing the “authors of novels, Romances and short-stories2” and not “the authors of epics and tragedies3” whom he refers to as “most highly esteemed by the critic4”. Thus, he talks about popular literature, literary works that have yet to pass through the test of time to certify its creative sustainability. Fantasy is the nucleus of Popular Literature which according to Freud “[he] (an adult) is expected not to go on playing or Phantasying any longer, but to act in a real world”. It may be the reason why Popular fiction or Genre fiction is usually looked down upon by academics (an adult) through the concept of the semi-educated mass reader vs. the highly educated class reader. Popular fiction must connect and satiate the literary appetite of the so called mass reader of popular fiction as opposed to class reader of literary fiction or artistic fiction.

The two generally deal with different realms, natural v/s spiritual. Disagreements do arise about where the boundaries between these realms lie when dealing with questions at their interface. We could define that when it come to religion it is faith and when it come to science it is empirical evidence. This paper moves with this definition and see ‘The immortals of Meluha’ in this light. The immortals of Meluha, first part of Shiva trilogy, is a fiction by Amish Tripathi. The book deals with the rich mythological heritage of ancient India. Shiva is the protagonist, in today’s world we know him as Lord Shiva. The book is a tribute to Lord Shiva and the lesson that his life is for human beings. A lesson lost in the depths of time and ignorance by humans. This paper tries to explore the beliefs of the immortals of Meluha and the science in their belief.

These novels often rework the Indian myths creatively to address contemporary human issues. Indian mythology is a rich treasure trove of tales, rich in plurality and characters . The usual concept of seeing things in just two shades of black and white dissolves as we are introduced into epics like The Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Every character is depicted as humane, prone to errors. Indian mythology is well depicted by the Indian writers beginning from Raja Rao and Girish karnad till the contemporary writers such as Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi of today. Amish Tripathi' s Shiva Trilogy is based on the reconstruction of several Indian mythical characters and stories drawn from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and Shivapuranam. For the philosophical arguments he has relied on via classical Sanskrit texts and Vedas and Upanishads.

Joshi Professor/Director, Academic Staff College, Ahmedabad. E-Mail id: [email protected] Mobile Number: 9426587963 Introduction: Today in an age where 9 countries are capable of bringing devastation to the world by their nuclear force, it seems that we are just sitting ducks on the verge of a catastrophic war. A pile of 16,300 nuclear weapons awaits the orders of a fanatic to send up mushroom clouds high up in air. Interestingly, geopolitics plays a huge role regarding the way political scenarios are played amongst nations. The word geopolitics was originally coined by the Swedish political scientist Rudolf Kjellén. Geopolitics as the name suggests is politics based on geography. It analyses how geography influences power struggle in international relations of countries. Geography has, since years, been a very important issue for mankind. Several countries are trying to take maximum advantage they can regarding the various parameters of geography. Both World Wars laid us an example of how emphasis is now more towards geography.

According to the psychoanalytical theory of Sigmund Freud, our mind can be divided into two: the conscious and the unconscious. Further, the unconscious is divided in to collective and individual. People in different parts of the world have some common beliefs, thoughts, S. SARAVANAN M. NANDHINI 1P a g e perceptions, taboos etc, which are universal in nature and devoid of time and space. This is what embedded in the collective unconscious mind. The Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung (1875-1961), used the term ‘archetype’ to refer to this ‘collective unconscious’.
