The genesis of subaltern emerged as a critical concept. The concept of subaltern studies prominence is derived from Marxism and Post-structuralism. One of the most recent sub divisions of post-colonial theory is the subaltern studies. It is also interdisciplinary subject. The Italian thinker Antonio Gramsci used the term ‘Subaltern’ and emphasized the significance of the word in terms of class, gender, caste, marginalization, race and culture of the society. The subaltern refers to any specific marginalized situation in any given cultural or social context. The advent of literary and cultural theories in the literary field has brought major changes in the way of rereading, reinterpreting and better understanding literature and culture. Subaltern consciousness is one of the characteristics of subalternity. The innovative, exciting, and intellectual discussion by the scholars of all domains will induce a high order to instigate and instil the aspirants and the experts of multifaceted disciplines to a considerable empowerment of the peak to achieve the best out of this Book which is of course literally one of the aims targeted too. The editorial team appreciates all the contributors for their research novelty and innovative outcomes. We also appreciate all the readers who invest their time to cherish these ideas into practical steps. Language is to express and literature is to follow and live. We sincerely thank the publishers and the team who put their effort to bring out this edited volume. At this Moment we make our Sincere thanks to Management and all faculty fraternity of English Department for this Successful Academic event backed by their wholehearted contributions and supports, which exhorted us at large that are really appreciably commendable.

  • Meena Kandasamy - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Meena Kandasamy - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Meena Kandasamy(1984 -) Meena Kandasamy is an emerging poet, fiction writer, translator and activist. She is based in Chennai. Her first book, Touch, was published in 2006. Two of her poems have won prizes in all-India poetry competitions. Her poetry has been published in various journals, including The Little Magazine, Kavya Bharati, Indian Horizons, Muse India and the Quarterly Literary Review, Singapore. She edited The Dalit, a bi- monthly alternative English magazine of the Dalit Media Network in its first year of publication from 2001 to 2002. Kandasamy’s translations include the writings and speeches of Thol. Thirumavalavan, leader of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal or the Dalit Panthers of India (Talisman: Extreme Emotions of Dalit Liberation, 2003) and the poetry and fables of Tamil Eelam poet, Kasi Anandan. She is one of the 21 short fiction writers from South Asia featured in an anthology published by Zubaan, New Delhi. At present, she is working on her doctorate on Caste in the Indian Language Classroom. Kandasamy regards her writing as a process of coming to terms with her identity: her “womanness, Tamilness and low/ outcasteness”, labels that she wears with pride. She knew, she says, that “my gender, language and castelessness were not anything that I had to be ashamed of… I wrote poetry very well aware of who I was. But I was also sure of how I wanted to be seen. I wanted to be taken on my own terms… I wanted to be totally bare and intensely exposed to the world through my writings.

  • The Trauma of the Loss of Identity and Anguish of Alienation: an Appraisal of the Indian Writing in English
    The Asian Conference on Literature & Librarianship 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan The Trauma of the Loss of Identity and Anguish of Alienation: An Appraisal of the Indian Writing in English Shruti Sinha Management Development Institute of Singapore, Singapore 0448 The Asian Conference on Literature & Librarianship 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org 248 The Asian Conference on Literature & Librarianship 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan This paper explores alienation as a global problem in reference to Indian Writing in English. However, before such a discussion is initiated, it would be appropriate to explain the term Indian Writing in English. The term really applies to the writings of those authors who are by birth, ancestry and nationality Indians, which are written in English and which gives the aroma of Indian culture, ethos, homeland and geography, which are peopled by those men who are either Indians or of Indian origin, who either live in India or in any other part of the world. This paper, in particular, deals with Indian Fiction in English, the domain of which includes such diasporic writers as Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth, Kiran Desai, Jhumpa Lahiri, Amitava Ghosh and many others. Most of our Indian –English authors have been globe trotters or educated in the west. R.S Pathak has rightly said; The Indian writers in English lose their sense of identity -both personal and national-and feel alienated in their making frantic efforts to seek, organize and affirm that identity. In many cases not only the novelists but also the characters in their novels face what psychologists call identity crisis.1 The Indian Fiction in English started with Rajmohan’s Wife written by Bankimchandra Chatterjee in 1864 and in its voyage of more than 150 years has witnessed such names as Mulk Raj Anand, R.K.

  • Sculpting a Play Sudhanva Deshpande Mala Hashmi As Dadi
    Sculpting a Play Sudhanva Deshpande Mala Hashmi as Dadi ( grandmother) It happens inevitably. Whenever I mention that a play has been improvised, people tend to imagine that it is improvised in performance and they cannot believe that, because what they have seen seems like the performance of a fully-finished text. Even after I explain that 'improvisation' is only the technique one has used to evolve the play, a feeling of slight disbelief persists. It may have to do with the fact that the word 'improvisation', along with its near cousin `impromptu', carries connotations of something unplanned, unstructured, unorganized. Improvisations are, of course, all that, also pretty often chaotic, but it is possible to use this chaos to evolve texts. Through the maze of confusion, through the pulls and pressures every actor and director exerts on nebulous, barely-visible ideas, through false starts, speed-breakers, and dead 1 ends, through all this it is yet possible to create texts that are complex, multi-layered, sophisticated, and dramatic. I say this on the evidence of two plays that Jana Natya Manch (Janam) evolved in 1995, Artanaad ('A Cry of Anguish', a play on child sexual abuse) and Andhera Aftaab Mangega ('Darkness Will Beget the Dawn', in rough translation; a play on the lives of the working class in Delhi). I describe below the process we used to evolve Andhera. (I do realize, of course, that 'improvisation' has become something of a catchword in theatre, nearly a fashion, especially since the 1960s: everybody seems to be improvising. But that doesn't mean that the technique has lost all relevance, and in any case the uniqueness of an experience is not the only I lit, 'new' worker Shakeel as Badal becomes a 'soft' one when dealing with capital and a 'hard' one when dealing with labour.
