  • A Comparative Study of O. Henry and Pannalal Patel's Selected Love Stories
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF O. HENRY AND PANNALAL PATEL’S SELECTED LOVE STORIES Dr. Shaurya Brahmbhatt Ms. Jayana Jayendrabhai Gajjar Abstract: ‘Love’ has always been a topic of interest for people around the world. Poets, novelists, painters, dancers have multiple works dedicated to ‘love’ and it seems they can’t get enough of it. Friendship, anger, cares, jealousies are emotions attached to love and have been dealt with by authors of the world. The ancient and the modern, the teens and the adults, males and female are in awe of ‘love’. This makes it a very interesting subject for study. William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry has written almost 300 short stories on various themes. He never failed to surprise the readers with a twist at the end of his stories. Pannalal Patel is a celebrated Gujarati author who, like Henry, has almost 20 short story collection under his name. He too has dealt with various themes including love, crime, sacrifice and more. The current paper focuses on comparing the love stories by these authors. The selected stories are The Gift of Magi and Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry and Sukh Dukh na Sathi and Nirupay by Pannalal Patel. As both, the writers belonged to two entirely different places and were active during a different time, the comparison of their stories will help to learn the idea of ‘love’ as the authors see it and the treatment of ‘love’ in their stories. Key Words: jealousy, ancient, celebrated, entirely, treatment “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” Says professor Dumbledore reminding Harry of the importance of love in one’s life.

  • Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel
    248 Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel: A Comparative Analysis The fifth chapter incorporating the title of thesis offers the comparative analysis of resemblances and differences in Narayan and Pannalal’s literary career. To study these novelists in comparative approach, the factors like their birth and family, sources of inspiration, educational career, domestic life and economic struggle, evaluation as a writer, publisher, sense of regionalism, and thematic study of their works along with critical reception and Gandhian perspectives are examined. Comparing biographical details and their location, we observe that Pannalal Patel was born on 7th of May, 1912 and died in 1989 on 6th of April while R.K. Narayan was born on 10th of October, 1906 and died in 2001 on 14th of May. Narayan’s life span in comparison to Pannalal is almost two decades longer. Both were the product of the first half of the twentieth century. The first two decades of the twentieth century gave India its luminous stars and enriched its literary world. This period in Indian literature has been assigned the title like Pre- independence period or Colonial phase. Pannalal Patel belonged to Anjana Patel caste known as Chaudhari community. The majority of this community resides in Mahesana, Sabarkantha, Patan and Banaskantha district of North Gujarat state. The Chaudhari community has also been spread in some other states like Rajasthan and Haryana in India. Now-a-days this community is prescribed in the list of SEBC (Socially and Economically Backward Class) category in a state like Gujarat.

  • Curriculum Vitae
    Curriculum Vitae Name : Dr. Raghuvir Chaudhari Date of Birth : 1938 Address (Residential): A-6, Purneshwar Flats, Gulbai Tekra, Ahmedabad-380 015 Tel. No. : 9327726371 Website : http://iet.ahduni.edu.in/people-details/faculty- list/sanjay_chaudhary He did his M.A. in ‘Hindi language and literature’ from Gujarat University in 1962 and later obtained his Ph.D. from the same University in 1979. He retired on 15th June, 1998, as a Professor and Head of the Department of Hindi, Post-graduate School of Languages, Gujarat University. Eight students have obtained PhD degree under his guidance. Raghuveer Chaudhari had worked for adult-education in his village and also constructed a small library and a theatre for his school. During vacations, he used to work with social workers. He was very active in 'Navanirrnan Andolan' - an anti-corruption movement - against the State Government of Gujarat. With the same concern he had opposed ‘The Emergency’ which suppressed the freedom of expression in 1975. He was born and brought up in a religious family of farmers. His acquaintance with leading and devoted Gandhian friends as well as his farming background nourished the deep sense of social responsibility in him. This is the reason why his concept of modernism is different from those of his contemporaries. Raghuveer's talent was nurtured by the prose writings of Govardhanram Tripathi, Kaka Kalelkar, Suresh Joshi, Niranjan Bhagat and Priyakant Maniyar. He owes his early training to his teacher and friend Bholabhai Patel, a well-known scholar and man-of- letters in Gujarati. Later Raghuveer developed an interest in Hindi and Sanskrit studies.

Chaudhari, Ph. D. Assoc. Professor, Dept. of English, the KNSBL Arts and Commerce College, Kheralu Gujarat (India) Umashankar Joshi was a remarkable poet and playwright of twentieth century Gujarati literature. He remained one of the chief contributors amongst Gujarati writers to lead the society as well as Gujarati literature towards new directions. He emphasized the Gandhian ideology and enriched the tradition of Gujarati Literature. Umashankar Joshi exposes the social and economic ills deeply entrenched in the society. The girl named Hilli in the story is devoid of motherly love since her childhood. She is shown motherless growing under the care of Bavaji, the Sadhu at the outskirts of a village. Joshi stresses on the wretched predicament of motherless girl deprived off her social identity and her ultimate comfort in the form of seeking the mother within herself. Hilli remains the victim of immoral societal structure. The writer seems to confirm the hopes and despairs of human mind in a striking manner. One of the fascinating features of this story is ‘Hilli continues to exist herself within two personalities’: mother and a daughter. Keywords: social evils. Gandhian ideology, exploited class, human nature, psychological attitude, social identity Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Umashankar Joshi was a notable poet and playwright of twentieth century Gujarati literature.

His literary work Manvini Bhavai is considered the masterpiece of a regional novel. The translator professor V Y Kantak who translated the novel as Endurance: A Droll Saga in English is an eminent academician and critic, has very successfully retained the essential simplicity, the regional flavor and the original spirit of the novel in English translation as closely as possible. Pannalal‟s sensitive heart comprehends the various experiences of rural life in such a way that we feel human life breathing and beating in a natural way and in his novels. Manvini Bhavai is a great masterpiece of Gujarati literature because of his inborn literary spontaneous talent and potential. He has successfully spread the fragrance of native land in the novel. Each novel of Pannalal is the reflection of society in its naked form and Manvini Bhavai is not an exception. Each chapter of the novel puts a mirror before the society that gives us the exact picture of the time in which it has been penned.

  • Jnanpith Award
    Jnanpith Award JNANPITH AWARD The Jnanpith Award is an Indian literary award presented annually by the Bharatiya Jnanpith to an author for their "outstanding contribution towards literature". Instituted in 1961, the award is bestowed only on Indian writers writing in Indian languages included in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India and English, with no posthumous conferral. The Bharatiya Jnanpith, a research and cultural institute founded in 1944 by industrialist Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain, conceived an idea in May 1961 to start a scheme "commanding national prestige and of international standard" to "select the best book out of the publications in Indian languages". The first recipient of the award was the Malayalam writer G. Sankara Kurup who received the award in 1965 for his collection of poems, Odakkuzhal (The Bamboo Flute), published in 1950. In 1976, Bengali novelist Ashapoorna Devi became the first woman to win the award and was honoured for the 1965 novel Pratham Pratisruti (The First Promise), the first in a trilogy.
