PERUVALLUTHI REGISTRAR i/c. Message Man learns many things from the social lose. Social behaviours like modesty, courtesy, good habits, precious gifts, natural skills, resoluteness, penitence, patients, sufferings, etc, are learnt pleasurably and painfully by the individuals who form social life. Social consciousness changes from time to time, from place to place. It always aims at the healthy growth which is reflected in the forms of various types of literature. Ultimately literature provides the chunks of life to establish a wholesome life. It traces the robust nature of life styles. The international conferences organised by the PG Department of English is a valuable one to the student population. I wish them a grand success to bring out the salient features of social consciousness. Prof. Dr. V.

This historic event would enhance and elevate the knowledge of the students, scholars and researchers. The day of the conference is acme of the English Department. It would shower in many more conferences to benefit the students. I sincerely thank the staff and all the people who would make the day a successful one. Dr. R.

Umpteen ways of identifying the noble marvels of the great or writers minds are given to the researchers. Reading always makes a full man. Through literature one can see the whole world. After reading, it becomes the experience of the mind. It elevates, corrects, inspires, and does create multiples of noble feelings and activities in the social contacts. Literature transmits many noble qualities and virtues to the people. Well, I wish a grand success to the international conference. Dr. C. Arun EDITORS’ PAGE It is an admitted and widely acknowledged fact that literature is are flections of the society with its good values and its ills. In its corrective function, literature refracts the ills of the society with a view to making the society realize its errors and make amends. It also projects the virtues or good values in the society for people to emulate. Literature, as an imitation of human action, often presents a picture of what people feel and observe, say and do in the society. In literature, we find stories fabricated to depict human life and action through some characters who, by their words, action and reaction, involvement convey certain messages for the purpose of education, sharing and entertainment. It is impossible to find

To match with this innumerable orthodox senseless traditions and rituals are blindly followed by most of the Indians. In fact, the whole edifice of the Indian society and its culture is founded on these constructs. The psyche of the people does not allow them to examine any custom or tradition or happening and verify its utility, validity and legitimacy. For them, the age old customs, rituals and traditions, started by their wise forefathers are sacrosanct and beyond any criticism, leave alone any change.

  • RESOLUTION on INDIA the State of Freedom of Expression in India
    RESOLUTION ON INDIA The state of freedom of expression in India continues to deteriorate. Writers who voice dissenting viewpoints continue to be at risk for harassment and murder, and India’s defamation laws continue to be exploited by self-interested parties to prevent the publication of material that may well be in the public interest. A culture of intolerance linked to an emerging nationalist discourse and a rise in vigilantism - which PEN International identified in its 2015 and 2016 reports on freedom of expression in the country, and reiterated in its submission to the 27th session of the Working Group of the Universal Periodic Review – continues to grow. The low-cost of initiating defamation proceedings in the courts, combined with an expectation of impunity for attacks carried out against writers, intimidate critical voices into silence and result in a chill on freedom of expression. In the past six weeks alone, three incidents have demonstrated the dire state of freedom of expression in the country: MURDER: On 5 September 2017, Gauri Lankesh, a senior journalist and editor of the weekly Kannada-language tabloid Gauri Lankesh Patrike, was shot dead in front of her home in Bengaluru, Karnataka state. Lankesh, aged 55, was an outspoken critic of communalism and caste-based discrimination in her writing, and a champion of progressive causes, such as supporting student movements. To date there have been no arrests in the case, and the murderers remain at large. At least 16 writers or print journalists have been killed in India since 2013. Lankesh’s murder follows three similar recent murders – of scholar M M Kalburgi, rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, and activist Govind Pansare – which have remained unsolved, and which led to 39 Indian writers and artists returning awards from India’s Sahitya Akademi (Literature Academy) in protest against the Academy’s silence and governmental inaction, and more than 130 writers, artists and filmmakers returning other accolades.

He achieves his dream only to be propelled by a series of incidents, grim and absurd, into a slave-like existence herding goats in the middle of the Saudi desert. Memories of the lush, verdant landscape of his village and of his loving family haunt Najeeb whose only solace is the companionship of goats. In the end, the lonely young man contrives a hazardous scheme to escape his desert prison.Goat Days was published to acclaim in Malayalam and became a bestseller. One of the brilliant new talents of Malayalam literature, Benyamins wry and tender telling transforms this strange and bitter comedy of Najeebs life in the desert into a universal tale of loneliness and alienation. After I listened to the review of this novel on the BBC Book Review program, I decided to purchase a copy. Najeeds bad luck started on the day he arrived in Saudi Arabia as a migrant from India seeking employment.

  • Ambedkar and Contemporary Dalit Literature in Bangla: Notes on a Few Poems and Two Short Stories Sayantan Dasgupta
    Journal of the Department of English Vidyasagar University Vol. 9, 2011-2012 Ambedkar and Contemporary Dalit Literature in Bangla: Notes on a Few Poems and Two Short Stories Sayantan Dasgupta Is there a Dalit literature in Bangla? The question has confounded many. The consensus has generally been that there exists no such body of literature. Neither the media nor the academia seems to have taken congnizance of any such body. On one hand, mainstream media and literary publications have been conspicuously silent on this question, thus accentuating the collective amnesia on this subaltern literary tradition. And, on the other, the near total absence of translations of Bangla Dalit literature in English (and other Indian languages) has had the same effect. In fact, apart from the occasional translation that appeared from time to time in Dalit Mirror, a specialized little magazine, and the very rare volume in English translation published mostly at the initiative of individual authors, one can discern few sustained efforts to showcase Bangla Dalit writing and to disseminate it to the world outside Bengal in translation. This is ironic, of course, for the English language was always posited as a tool of empowerment for the Dalit community by BR Ambedkar, the doyen and icon of Dalits all over India. This, of course, is changing. There are at least two volumes of Bangla Dalit literature in English translation in press at this very moment, both being published by publishing houses with impressive distribution prowess. Survival and Other Stories,1 a collection of Bangla Dalit short stories in English translation emerging 31 32 Journal of the Department of English Vol.

  • Building Bridges
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Building Bridges Being Dalit as a Bangla Writer TIRTHANKAR CHANDA, ROUNAK RAY Vol. 51, Issue No. 1, 02 Jan, 2016 Tirthankar Chanda is a playwright and writer based in Kolkata. Rounak Ray ([email protected]) is also a writer based in Kolkata. Being Dalit is not an appendage to the identity of being a writer in Bangla. A community that has being marginalised historically needs to contextualise their identity in forms that can subvert privileged notions of belonging and solidarity. The pertinence of this discussion started taking shape after I attended a book release in Kolkata. The book in question was written by a Dalit author. My questions started brewing up after a revered singer-songwriter, who was invited at the book release function, said something before he started singing for us during the event. He asked if it was necessary that a writer be judged on the basis of his/her community identity—a Dalit writer or a woman writer. Creativity itself should be the sole marker for an artist, he said. According to him, there is only good writing and bad writing. Are we not looking at the writer with pity by using attributes like Dalit, subaltern or marginalised? I believe that the world of arts and letters cannot be segregated into neat categories of “good” and “bad.” There are large swathes of grey areas. Moreover, it is only the privileged who can determine quality in the arts, by exercising their right of expression. In the ancient period, it was a norm to place a stick at the middle or the side of the stage when Sanskrit dramas were enacted.
