  • 403 Little Magazines in India and Emergence of Dalit
    Volume: II, Issue: III ISSN: 2581-5628 An International Peer-Reviewed Open GAP INTERDISCIPLINARITIES - Access Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies LITTLE MAGAZINES IN INDIA AND EMERGENCE OF DALIT LITERATURE Dr. Preeti Oza St. Andrew‘s College Mumbai University [email protected] INTRODUCTION As encyclopaedia Britannica defines: ―Little Magazine is any of various small, usually avant-garde periodicals devoted to serious literary writings.‖ The name signifies most of all a usually non-commercial manner of editing, managing, and financing. They were published from 1880 through much of the 20th century and flourished in the U.S. and England, though French and German writers also benefited from them. HISTORY Literary magazines or ‗small magazines‘ are traced back in the UK since the 1800s. Americas had North American Review (founded in 1803) and the Yale Review(1819). In the 20th century: Poetry Magazine, published in Chicago from 1912, has grown to be one of the world‘s most well-regarded journals. The number of small magazines rapidly increased when the th independent Printing Press originated in the mid 20 century. Small magazines also encouraged substantial literary influence. It provided a very good space for the marginalised, the new and the uncommon. And that finally became the agenda of all small magazines, no matter where in the world they are published: To promote literature — in a broad, all- encompassing sense of the word — through poetry, short fiction, essays, book reviews, literary criticism and biographical profiles and interviews of authors. Little magazines heralded a change in literary sensibility and in the politics of literary taste. They also promoted alternative perspectives to politics, culture, and society.

  • A Dark Age in Medieval Maharashtra? an Essay in Interreligious Understanding
    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 13 , 2004, 1, 73-80 A DARK AGE IN MEDIEVAL MAHARASHTRA? AN ESSAY IN INTERRELIGIOUS UNDERSTANDING D ušan D eák Department of Ethnology, UCM Trnava, nám. J. Herdu 2, Trnava, Slovakia History of medieval Deccan is marked by the political dominance of Muslims. Ethnically incoherent ruling Muslim nobility participated in the creation of the kingdom of Bahmanls with the assistance of the indigenous aristocracy. The process of establishment of the independent regional state is often viewed negatively by local authors. This paper aims to show the inadequacy of such standpoint using the example of the theory named “The Dark Age of Marathi Literature”. When the representatives of foreign religion subdue a country, whose reli­ gion seems to be the very opposite, as the representatives of Islam had found the religion in India the very opposite to the strong Islamic monotheism, such event could not pass without any conflict altogether. But it does not mean that the conflict became prevalent feature of the medieval life. In the medieval period, anywhere in the world, the conquest was the means of the state’s economic poli­ cy. It would be a mistake to view the shifts of power during the medieval times as unacceptable threat to human liberty, for that is wherefrom the liberalism of present times evolved. Moreover the modern communalism by claiming the rights for “some” again reverted to the conquest of the “other’s lands”. The destruction caused by Muslim invaders to India and the rules imposed by the sultans are often perceived much worse than the historical facts can suggest.

M. P. RAESIDE THE two principal obstacles to the study of the older forms of Marathi language and literature are the shortage of definitive texts of early works and the dearth of critical bibliographies from which one might discover what texts are available and in what form they exist. Date's Mardthi-grantha-siuc is of course invaluable for anything published before 1937, but even this work is not exhaustive and the idiosyncrasies of its arrangement according to subject- matter make it sometimes difficult to discover how many of the works of any particular early writer exist in printed form.

The idea of writing in English a short history o£ Marathi literature was suggested to me some year& ago by the late Mr. R. C. Dutt, C. I. E., while he was among us here in Baroda as Prime Minister. He had himself written a history of the kind, of the Bengali literature and wished similar histories to be prepared of the vernaculars of the several other provinces of India. His object in getting such books written in English was to give a vivid idea of the quality and quantity of the literature of each Indian vernacular to the governing Senates or Syndicates of Indian Univer- sities, who are in a position to introduce the vernacu- lars in the curricula of the University Examinations. His second object was to acquaint scholars of the other provinces of India with the outlines of Marathi literature and thus to facilitate translations and adaptations from Marathi into other Indian vernaculars.

  • Maharashtra Ahead
    VOL. 1 | ISSUE NO. 11 | MARCH 2012 | `50 | PAGES 68 MAHARASHTRA AHEAD The Architect of Modern Maharashtra Zero Hour Exactly at the stroke of the midnight hour the Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru pushes a button to unveil a illuminated map of Maharashtra that casts its glow over the new State just born. Looking on are the Chief Minister Shri Yashwantrao Chavan and the Governor Shri Prakash, and the artistes. Sketch by M. R. Achrekar The Treasure of Rich Legacy The birth centenary year of Yashwantrao Chavan, the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra, is beginning from 13th March 2012. In this commemorative year, the only befitting tribute to the architect of the progressive State would be to remember his good deeds and get re-inspired by his philosophy that he had put into practice in his life time so as to progress on his footsteps. This special issue of ‘Maharashtra Ahead’ is one of the initiatives taken up by the Government of Maharashtra to mark the centenary. Credit for the issue must go to the Chief Minister Shri Prithviraj Chavan. It could not have been possible without his encouragement. Much has been written about Yashwantraoji and yet re-evaluation of his achievements and reinterpretation of his words give us different perspective and renews our bliss every time we read his speeches. It is said that the career of visionaries is always ages ahead. And literature published in the issue bears testimony to this. Yashwantraoji had the multi-faceted personality - a successful leader with foresight, a social reformer, a think tank, an orator, a literature, an aficionado, an able administrator, an excellent Parliamentarian etc.
