  • 4Th Mahadevi Verma Memorial Lecture Series
    SECTION I ON MAHADEVI VERMA MAHADEVI VERMA ON EDUCATION SHANKAR SHARAN1 Today's graduate has to think ... those who have all the worldly facilities want our life values. Why should those who already have such values consider themselves poor? (Mahadevi Verma) Mahadevi believed that a person is always a student in the realm of thought and of feelings. If not, then somewhere he must have closed the door of his heart and mind. She was renowned as a poetess, but in fact, she devoted a lot of time during her life to education and teaching. She had established the Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth, which she served for as long as she could. Few people know that her devotion to education was a conscious choice as she believed that educational institutions built the nation and some of her great contemporaries have noted that. Sachchidanand Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' drew attention to the fact that according to Mahadevi, her poetry was the reflection of her moments of leisure and 'she would devote the rest of her life to the field of education, where it was required.'2 There are many definitions of 'Vidya' (knowledge/ education) in Indian literature. What Mahadevi liked the most was 'Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktye' – which means 'education is that which liberates'. She noted that in the past, Indian scholars had a very special regard for education and that is why it was always kept under state control. 1. Dr Shankar Sharan is a Lecturer in the Department of Educational Research and Policy Perspective at NCERT, New Delhi. 2.

  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

  • States of Affect: Trauma in Partition/Post-Partition South Asia
    STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra The Partition of the Indian subcontinent – into India and Pakistan in 1947 – was one of the crucial moments marking the break between the colonial and postcolonial era. My project is invested in exploring the Partition not merely in terms of the events of August 1947, but as an ongoing process that continues to splinter political, cultural, emotional and sexual life-worlds in South Asia. My dissertation seeks to map analytical pathways to locate the Partition and the attendant formations of minoritization and sectarian violence as continuing, unfolding processes that constitute postcolonial nation-building. It examines the far-reaching presence of these formations in current configurations of politics, culture and subjectivity by mobilizing the interdisciplinary scope of affect-mediated Trauma and Memory Studies and Postcolonial Studies, in conjunction with literary analysis. My project draws on a wide range of cultural artifacts such as poetry, cantillatory performance, mourning rituals, testimonials, archaeological ruins, short stories and novels to develop a heuristic and affective re-organization of post-Partition South Asia. It seeks to illuminate through frameworks of memory, melancholia, trauma, affect and postcoloniality how the ongoing effects of the past shape the present, which in turn, offers us ways to reimagine the future. This dissertation reaches out to recent work developing a vernacular framework to analyze violence, trauma and loss in South Asia.

This intensity, this passion is the soul of her writing.
