Even the rich countries, who possesses plenty of resources, capital and technology failed to deliver the actual and permanent solution to the welfare related issues. A large number of populations in these countries are aspiring for a happy and peaceful life. The situation is equally alarming in the developing and poor countries. At the moment, the world finds itself in a pool of great despair where not only the man’s world but the plant and animal kingdoms too are not free from negative impacts of crass materialism of the modern world. The situation is not less than a crisis of grave intensity. The modern science and technology are struggling to explore effective and sustainable solutions. The world community of leaders, nations, organizations, institutions etc. is engaged in intensive debate to ensure a better future for the man and the planet. The common man in many parts of the world is fighting with poverty, disease, hunger and finding it difficult to look after his material and psychological wellbeing. To think of welfare for all – the humans, the plants and the animals living on this planet, is a noble step in the right direction. The way to get rid of this problem lies in the task of exploring afresh our ancient scriptures that have the capabilities to steer the mankind from this crisis. The Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra is actively engaged in the task of exploring the ancient scriptures which provides intelligent inputs to deal with the crises of the modern material world. For this reason, the Kurukshetra University has been organizing international seminar on the Shrimad Bhagvad Gita and its implications in the all domains of human life. iv The holy book Shrimad Bhagvad Gita offers an everlasting solution to this confusion whose philosophy of Karma, Bhakti and Yoga is a reservoir of the great knowledge. The present book is compilation of various articles presented during the International Seminar on “Universal Welfare and the Eternal Philosophy of Bhagvad Gita” organized jointly by Kurukshetra University Kurukshetra and Kurukshetra Development Board from December 3-5. 2019. The articles largely cover the research output of the scholars from the Sanskrit, Music, Philosophy disciplines. Articles of scholars from other disciplines too find space in the book. The editors believe that the book shall stimulate further research in future. Prof. Manjula Chaudhary Prof. S.S.

Which made them learn more in realistic way.the unique feature of ancient education was to develop pinnacle of thoughts and raise the conscious in the lives of the people. As per the Mundaka Upanishad in Ancient Indian, Education (Vidya) is classified into two types: 1) Apara Vidya: The lower level of knowledge about the materialistic world, which is physical (Bhouthikam) in nature enjoyed by Bhoktha (an individual). The central focus is on the acquiring the secular life skills Which help an individual to live in this materialistic world. It needs Shraddha (concentration) to obtain it. This is external process in which karma is done without dharma (Sa Kamya karma). Quest is for money earning and pleasures. Thinking is still narrow as mind and body are involved which limit it to world. examples: Science, Maths. Social, Ethics and all subjects which are generally thought in schools and colleges. 2) Para vidya: The higher level of knowledge. Which is the absolute, universal, moral, has the nature of eternality. Guides an individual in the ultimate path of life. It needs Chitta Shuddi (higher level of concentration). It is more meditated and self-learnt knowledge with the guidance of Spiritual Guru (teacher).

  • UGC MHRD E Pathshala
    UGC MHRD e Pathshala Subject: English Principal Investigator: Prof. Tutun Mukherjee, University of Hyderabad Paper: 09: “Comparative Literature, Drama in India” Paper Coordinator: Prof. Tutun Mukherjee, University of Hyderabad Module No 28: Dina Mehta: Brides are Not for Burning; Shaonli Mitra: Nathabati Ananthabat, Content Writer: Dr. Shrabani Basu, St. Francis College, Hyderabad Content Reviewer: Prof. Ipshita Chanda; Jadavpur University Language Editor: Prof. Tutun Mukherjee, University of Hyderabad This module will look into two plays, rather a full length play and a narrative performance concentrating on feminist issues in India. Around 1980s and the early 1990s, several texts exploring the predicament of women in Indian society surfaced. They ranged from non-fictional researches of contemporary feminist issues (the immolation of Rup Kanwar in 1987 for example), through plays and literary texts blatant portraying the patriarchal evils (like Dina Mehta’s Brides are not for Burning) to retellings of Ramayana and Mahabharata from a feminist point of view (like Irawati Karve’s Yuganta and Shaonli Mitra’s “Nathabati Anathabat” and “Katha Amrita Saman”). In this module we would study two such texts—Shaonli Mitra’s narrative performance of “Nathabati Anathabat” and Dina Mehta’s Brides are not for Burning. 1. “Nathabati Anathabat” 1.1. Introduction “Nathabati Anathabat” (roughly translated as the orphaned wife or as Nabaneeta Deb Sen states in her translation “Five Lords Yet None a Protector”) is reputedly adapted from Irawati Karve’s interpretation of Mahabharata, Yuganta: the End of an Epoch and was first staged in 1983. For her performance, Shaonli was awarded the Critic Circle of Indian Award, the Shiromani Puraskar in 1985, and the Prafulla Kumar Smriti Ananda Puraskar in 1991.

  • Translation in India: Then and Now
    © 2018 JETIR June 2018, Volume 5, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Translation in India: Then and Now Dr. Anisha Lecturer in English GMSSSS, Sector – 20 Panchkula Abstract Translation is not just a process; it is a communion between two minds – the translator and the author. Like poetry, it is difficult to comprehend „translation‟. The most pertinent question that has always puzzled the writers and translators is whether translation is art, or craft or science. Theodore Savory considers it as an art. Eric Jacobsen contemplates it as a craft but Nida defines it as a science. The present paper explores the relevance of translation in today‟s world in its diachronic and synchronic perspectives. The first section defines translation; the second explores the history of Indian tradition of translation studies, the third describes the synchronic study of translations and relevance of translation at present time; and the fourth concludes the discussion. Key Words: Translation, India, Synchronic, Diachronic, Relevance Introduction: We Indians have always believed in „Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam‟ (the whole earth is family) since ancient time. However, in the other parts of the world, people talk about globalisation. Globalisation has been infused so much in human mind that it has affected all the avenues including translation. People are multi- faceted today and have to do multi-tasking because of the need of the hour. Understanding the concept of globalisation helps us to identify the role and importance of translation in today‟s world. It has become imperative to exchange literature with other people and countries not only to increase knowledge but also to widen the reach of traditions, customs and life style of people living elsewhere.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis studies the construction of a Hindu cultural identity in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in Bengal. The aim is to examine how this identity was formed by rationalising and valorising an available repertoire of images and myths in the face of official and missionary denigration of Hindu tradition. This phenomenon is investigated in terms of a discourse (or a conglomeration of discursive forms) produced by a middle-class operating within the constraints of colonialism. The thesis begins with the Hindu Mela founded in 1867 and the way in which this organisation illustrated the attempt of the Western educated middle-class at self- assertion.

    Research Articles The First English Translation of Mahabharata: Authorship, Authority, Translation and Utility Matters Nandini Bhattacharya* “As Professor Max Mueller noted ‘printing is now the only from its immediate past and being congealed into a means of saving your Sanskrit literature from inevitable standard text/edition. This also meant The Mahabharata destruction’.” being textualized with auteurs that were now claiming P.C. Roy: “Preface” The Mahabharata of ‘authority’ of their ‘translation’ into modern Sanskrit; or/ Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa: p. 30 and into the modern Indic and European vernaculars. Such translations now also clearly state the original This essay explores the issues associated with the authorship of The Mahabharata (following the inexorable fraught entry of The Mahabharata into the domain of logic of print modernity) as belonging to a person called print modernity in India. It focuses on the twin issues ‘Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa.’ of authority-authorization and utility-realism as they These vast transnational processes of The Mahabharata inform and colour such entries. I describe The Mahabharata entering within print modernity cultures also meant in India, before the 18th century, as a vast, complex and ‘fixing’ the ‘event’ genealogically, that is, within intermedially worked-out ‘event’ rather than a ‘text’ in the non-permeable generic categories. While one set of modern sense of the term. The critical distinction made individuals (Indologists such as Albrecht Weber and between a ‘work’ as self-contained and ‘text’ as porous, Friedrich Max Mueller) described The Mahabharata as enabling reader-response, must take into account that mahakavya and mahakavya as signifying ‘epic poetry,’ both (‘work’ and ‘text’) operate within, and are produced another set (Sanskritists, such as Pundit Shashadhar by the overarching operations of print modernity.

  • Resisting Boundaries of Gender in Women's Theatre in India
    The Criterion www.the-criterion.com An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 Imaging Women: Resisting Boundaries of Gender in Women’s Theatre in India Dr. Suranjana Bhadra Assistant Professor of English, M.U.C Women’s College, Burdwan, (Affiliated to The University of Burdwan)West Bengal. India. Caught in the gyres of cultural politics, woman in the realm of theatre is the “gendered subaltern,” (Ashcroft 8) produced in the social discourse by and for men but mercilessly castigated from the domain of cultural production. Regarded as ‘docile bodies’, women on stage are repressed, silenced and exposed to satisfy male erotic desires. In this context, Michelene Wandor’s proposition is quite noteworthy: For a woman writer to take on this role of authoritative voice means that in some implicit way she is combating the dominant image of women in theatre -- . this image is hedged in by the invisible, servicing female on the one hand, and by the visible, glamorous, or sexually desirable female on the other. Of course, there is always the exception – the ‘serious’ actress, or the occasional important woman playwright, but these exceptions also serve to reinforce the rule (126-127). Exploitation of women led to the suppression of female experiences. In India conventional theatrical production has indulged in the public display of submissive femininity that upholds the ideologies of hegemonic masculinity. Women have been marginalized from the theatrical scenario as their experiences are not considered to be an integral part of socio-political struggles. In the Foreword to Women, Feminist Identity and Society in the 1980s: Selected Papers (1985), Irish M.
