  • Unfolding the Concept of Spirituality Through Characterization in the Selected Novels of Indian Writing in English
    Unfolding the Concept of Spirituality through Characterization in the Selected Novels of Indian Writing in English Naveen Kumar Mehta, M.A., M.Phil, Ph.D. MPSLET, UGC-NET ============================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:7 July 2013 ============================================================== Abstract Spirituality in character leads one to a search of the knowledge of the highest and the absolute by direct experience and manifestation of the search in every mode of living, thinking and acting. The present study unfolds the concept of spirituality through characterization. There are certain characters in the selected novels of Indian – writing in English, who reflect this concept. They transform the spirit of love, truth non-violence, self-sacrifice, self-discipline, penance, self-realization or self-assertion through their various actions. They do not only offer the common reader, the positive aspects of spiritualism but also offer the negative aspect of pseudo-spiritualism. Keywords: Spirituality, character, swami, religion, self-realization, truth, compassion. Introduction India has produced a large number of spiritual figures who have shown the common man the path of realization. Such figures can create illusions of hope and happiness through a skillful manipulation of words, gestures and facial expressions. They talk of spiritual values. Since Bankim's time these wonderful characters often figure in the Indian-English writing. Some of the spiritual figures have been discussed at a great length in Indo-Anglican fiction such as R.K. Narayan's The Guide, Raja Rao's Kanthapura, Bhabini Bhattacharya's He Who Rides a Tiger and Kipling's Kim. R.K. Narayan’s The Guide Through the characterization of Raju, in The Guide, R.K.
