CELEBRATING AUTHORS’ BIRTHDAY “To write well, express yourself like the common people, but think like a wise man.” ― Aristotle 31st July will be remembered in the history of the literature due to birth of two great authors. Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava (31st July 1880), better known by his pen name Munshi Premchand, was an Indian writer famous for his modern Hindustani literature. He is one of the most celebrated writers of the Indian subcontinent, and is regarded as one of the foremost Hindi writers of the early twentieth century. His novel include Godaan, Karmabhoomi, Gaban, Mansarovar, Idgah. Joanne Rowling was also born on this day. She grew up to be known by her pen name, J.K. Rowling, under which she wrote the “Harry Potter” books. Cumulatively selling 500 million copies to date, “Harry Potter” is the best-selling book series in history. To commemorate the contributions of both the sterling writers to the literary world, we will be organising a host of online activities for the students as detailed below: SR. NO.

Loss and Gain in Translation from Hindi to English: A Stylistic Study of Multiple English Translations of Premchand’s Godaan and Nirmala THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH By TOTA RAM GAUTAM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MOHD. ASIM SIDDIQUI DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, ALIGARH, INDIA. 2011 There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. – Hodding Carter, Jr. TO My Mother and My Father Loss and Gain in Translation from Hindi to English: A Stylistic Study of Multiple English Translations of Premchand’s Godaan and Nirmala ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH By TOTA RAM GAUTAM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MOHD. ASIM SIDDIQUI DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, ALIGARH, INDIA. 2011 Abstract Although translation is an old phenomenon, it is only after the 1970s that it develops as an academic discipline. Nevertheless in the comparatively short period of the last five decades, it has developed enormously. Today it is multi-disciplinary in nature and can boast many publications. Recent developments have also created formal training programs and translation associations. However, inspite of all these developments, its scope has mainly been superficial as most of the studies focus on general aspects of a translation. That said, the present study specifically takes up Hindi English translation tradition and closely explores problems, issues and possibilities in translation from Hindi to English. To accomplish this task, the researcher structurally divides the study in seven chapters.

UYASINGH£,'/ASIA 1t>tmLISHING HOUSE, BOMBAY To Premakanta, Neeraja and Sachin and Shivrani Devi, Sripatrai and Amritrai Prefac( THIS BIOGRAPHY OF the late Munshi Premchand aims at pro jecting his personality and development as a writer, who voiced the aspirations of the people of India in the early part of the century and during the Gandhian era, and also as a man and as a thinker. In a sense it represents the fulfilment of a commit ment made in my earlier book (Premchand, Lahore, 1944), where in I had promised to attempt a full-dress biography of the great author. In doing this literary portrait, my familiarity with Hindi as well as :Urdu has given me an advantage over many writers who, because of their knowledge of one or the other, had to depend solely on literature available in one of the languages. I have in general consulted almost everything of consequence written on Premchand, including Shrimati Shivrani Devi's Premchand Ghar Men, the reminiscences of a large number of Premchand's friends and contemporaries as recorded in the Premchand memorial numbers ,of Hans and Zamana, and the writings of other littera teu~s published from time to time. The single source of greatest help, however, has been the rich material contained in the unpublished letters of Premchand, which I have collected at great expense in money and time from many places in India.

From Transcontextualization to Transcreation: a Study of the Cinematic Adaptations of the Short Stories of Premchand
Journal of the Department of English Vidyasagar University Vol. 12, 2014-2015 From Transcontextualization to Transcreation: A Study of the Cinematic Adaptations of the Short Stories of Premchand Anuradha Ghosh Cinematic transcreations of short stories follow a trajectory that is different from adaptations of novels. While compression of events as well as sequences become almost mandatory in terms of a technique of adapting a novel into film, short stories owing to their brevity (not necessarily depth) lead themselves better to cinematic adaptations. Sometimes expansion of motifs and symbols become necessary in order to reproduce visually what has been rendered verbally on a page. It is also not uncommon to see how at times the narrative order of a short story is reproduced cinematically, though the hall-mark of a successful adaptation is not to see whether a one-to-one correspondence between the word and the image has been established. For a successful cinematic transcreation of a fictional piece, what is perhaps most important is the notion of transcontextualization, as unless the film text is able to ‘politically’ address the socio-cultural context in which it has been created, it cannot work within the target language situation. The film (whether an adaptation or a creative construction) must be able to speak to the context in which it is made, taking the spirit of the source text, albeit in a mode that may be altered but simultaneous at the same time as well. Again the adapted text must have a life of its own, taking within its sweep, as it were the ‘after-word’1 of the source text to aesthetic dimensions that are divergent as well as new.

280 the Female Characters Represented in Novels Of
PROCEEDINGS – IRCHSS 2018 The Female characters represented in novels of Premchand J. A. D. S. U. Ranasinghe University of Sri jayewardenepura [email protected] Premchand who is considered as the prestigious monarch of the genre of the novel in Hindi literature can be rightfully said to have fulfilled this objective and therefore can be applauded as a great novelist. Premchand’s sympathetic focus was always directed towards the under privileged community which included the poor farmers, suppressed laborers and the downtrodden low caste. In his sympathetic focus on the underprivileged communities, It is apparent that he had an extraordinary focus on the the downtrodden gender role of a woman. When we explore through his literary works as a whole : Vardan, Sewasadan, Prathigya, Premashram, Rangbhoomi, Karmbhoomi, Nirmala, Gaban, Kayakalp and Godan; we can understand that he had always voiced his opinion against social injustices pertaining to woman such as child marriages, restriction of a second marriage for widows, infringement of the right to education of woman, the problem of the dowry, marriage of young girls to elderly men and the problem of the prostitution.The main objective of this research is to reveal and assess the factors which affected Premchand’s portrayal of the downtrodden women and their miserable lives. For this purpose I used both primary and secondary sources. The discussions I had regarding premchand with the Indian professors, Lecturers and scholars served as my primary sources while his literacy works, his life story and the back ground of his area were my secondary sources.According to Premchand, Hinduism and its religious laws condemned woman to the role of sub missives to men.

Plight of Farmers in Select Short Stories of Munshi Premchand Author: Shiva Prasad Sharma
International Journal of Modern Agriculture, Volume 10, No.1, 2021 ISSN: 2305-7246 Plight of Farmers in Select Short Stories of Munshi Premchand Author: Shiva Prasad Sharma Phd. Scholar, Department of English, Gauhati University, Assam Abstract Agriculture is at the core of India socio-economic and socio- cultural way of life. For more than 58% of Indian citizens agriculture is the primary source of livelihood. In recent times India has seen searing transformations in the agricultural sectors. The passing of agricultural reform bills in 2020 by the Indian parliament emulate the strategies of modernizing agricultural sectors by the government. However, such changes has also brought with a dissenting sections of the farmers who fear that these new laws would bind them to the profit making tendencies of large corporate houses. The farmer in India has never been free from exploitation by factions who have control over the agricultural sector. The Indian farmer is often overburdened by loans, with issues of destruction of his produce because of natural calamities like flood and droughts as well as the strong clasp of the middle man in the market. As such the figure of farmer as an marginalized individual becomes worthy of analysis. And literature as a representative space where the prosperity and angst of the society can be articulated becomes a pertinent sphere in analyzing the plight of the farmer. In this paper the plight of the Indian farmer is analysed through select short stories of eminent Indian writer Munshi Premchand. Premchand’s fiction is inextricably bound to the plight of the marginalized and dispossessed sections of the society.
