  • A Novelist, Short Story Writer As Well As an Art Critic, Mulk Raj Anand (1905
    A novelist, short story writer as well as an art critic, Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004) was among the first few Indian writers in English who gained international recognition early in his life. His novels Untouchable (1935) and Coolie (1936) impressively articulate the abuses of an exploited class. A dynamic personality, impeccably dressed Anand befriended great writers like E.M. Forster, Herbert Read and George Orwell. Till 1947, he spent half his time in London and half in India. It was therefore inevitable for him to be drawn to India’s struggle for independence. The most important influence upon Anand was that of Gandhi who shaped his social conscience. With success, Anand came to firmly believe that a writer’s work is an illustration of a ‘fiery voice of those people who through his own torments...transmutes in art all feeling...thus becoming the seer of new vision...’ Anand was proactively associated with the Progressive Writers’ movement of India and was one of the moving spirits behind the drafting of its first manifesto. Equally noteworthy was his passion for the arts whose best expression were the issues of Marg which he founded and edited for a quarter century. Even after he withdrew from its editorship, it continued to be the leading art journal of India. This book is the first ever attempt to put together the biography of such a vibrant personality who left no stone unturned to realise his dreams. With Raja Rao and R.K. Narayan, Anand is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Indian English novel.

  • The Gift of the Outdoors the Gift of the Outdoors
    November 2020 ® ON Stagevolume 10 • issue 4 THETHE GIFTGIFT OFOF THETHE OUTDOORSOUTDOORS IN ADDITION TO ITS DIGITAL INITIATIVES, THE NCPA EXPLORES ITS SPRAWLING OPEN SPACES TO WELCOME YOU BACK SAFELY Chairman’s Note o say the last few months were an unusual experience, especially for the performing art world, would be a T momentous understatement. It shows to what extent we are susceptible to the power of nature to enrich, humble, elevate and also crush our hopes and ambition, and yet emerge innovative and inspirational. When the lockdown was first announced, we thought that this was a temporary phenomenon and there was no need for an organisational change, and we carried on as usual expecting that we would return to work soon, based on optimistic dates given to us. Unfortunately, those dates never fructified and now it seems we are in for a longer haul than expected, and any management worth its salt must arrange to adapt. For us at the NCPA, initial depression is being replaced by a growing confidence in functioning from home with forays to the office. If there was to be a shift towards managerial competence, to effectively work from home, certain infrastructure has to be created, nay evolved and executed, to the best of our ability. An investment into the future of programming and the shape and style it will take is by itself an expensive exercise. In spite of all halls being empty and space staring at us with nary a penny in sight, you have to create an audience through the electronic media.

The module traces the history of colonial encounter in terms of the exploration of an authentic Indian self though the question of authenticity of the Indian self mediated through the prism of an alien language. The impact of English language on the collective cultural imaginary remains crucial to the question of ‘Indianness’ and the history of Indian prose writings is embroiled in historical and cultural thought. The discourses of colonialism and nationalism in the context of India’s history of colonialism addresses the strategic evolution of such ideological and cultural formations in terms of articulating Indian national identity in the form of autobiographies, biographies, travelogues, serious philosophical essays, analyses of current affairs, religious discourses, and collections of light pieces and memoirs.
