  • POSTMODERN TRAITS in the NOVELS of AMITAV GHOSH Prof
    www.the-criterion.com The Criterion: An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 POSTMODERN TRAITS IN THE NOVELS OF AMITAV GHOSH Prof. R. Chenniappan R. Saravana Suresh Research scholar Research scholar Paavai Engineering college Paavai Engineering college Pachal, Namakkal. Pachal, Namakkal. Indian writing in English has stamped its greatness by mixing up tradition and modernity in the production of art. At the outset, the oral transmission of Indian literary works gained ground gradually. It created an indelible mark in the mind and heart of the lovers of art. The interest in literature lit the burning thirst of the writers which turned their energy and technique to innovate new form and style of writing. Earlier novels projected India’s heritage, tradition, cultural past and moral values. But a remarkable change can be noticed in the novels published after the First World War, which is called, modernism. The novels written in the late 20th century, especially after the Second World War, are considered postmodern novels. Salman Rushdie, Vikaram Seth, Shashi Tharoor, Upamanyu Chatterjee and Amitav Ghosh are the makers of new pattern in writing novels with post-modern thoughts and emotions. Amitav Ghosh is one among the postmodernists. He is immensely influenced by the political and cultural milieu of post independent India. Being a social anthropologist and having the opportunity of visiting alien lands, he comments on the present scenario the world is passing through in his novels. Cultural fragmentation, colonial and neo-colonial power structures, cultural degeneration, the materialistic offshoots of modern civilization, dying of human relationships,blending of facts and fantasy, search for love and security, diasporas, etc… are the major preoccupations in the writings of Amitav Ghosh.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • MULTICULTURALISM – a NEW TECHNIQUE of INDIAN MODERN WRITERS Liza Chakravarty English Language Faculty, MENA College of Management, Dubai (United Arab Emirates)
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.4, No.5, pp.17-22, August 2016 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) MULTICULTURALISM – A NEW TECHNIQUE OF INDIAN MODERN WRITERS Liza Chakravarty English Language Faculty, MENA College of Management, Dubai (United Arab Emirates) ABSTRACT: Indian English has been universally accepted as a unique style of discourse with its own nuances giving expression to Indian Multiculturalism. In the works of writers in India or those abroad not only the new Indian writers in the west, expatriates, second and third generation writers, but also the classical authors like A. K. |Ramanujan, Nissim Ezekiel, Mulk Raj Anand, R. K. Narayan, and Bhabani Bhattacharya are being interpreted in the new old critical mode as well the current critical styles of multiculturalism. The concept of Multiculturalism recognizes the ethnic diversity within a society and has enlightened worthwhile contributions to society made by people from diverse backgrounds .Multiculturalism as a social theory brings together different themes such as cultural diversity, recognition, mutual concern, and peaceful co-existence of many cultures and sub-cultures. KEYWORDS: Multiculturalism, Ethnic Diversity, Contribution, Recognition INTRODUCTION There was a time, not so long ago, when a visit to a Kolkata bookshop to browse its section of Indian Literature would be a somewhat depressing experience. There would be a handful of stellar stand-out names, of course; Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh and one or two others. But the collection would a half-hearted affair, seemingly there more out of duty than joy, and usually it would be hidden away at the back of the shop.

  • Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 an International Refereed/Peer-Reviewed English E-Journal Impact Factor: 3.019(IIJIF)
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 3.019(IIJIF) Ecological Consciousness in the Novels of Amitav Ghosh Dr. M. Sreelatha, Ph.D Lecturer in English, DR BR Ambedkar Govt MR Polytechnic for Women, Karimnagar, Telangana, India. ABSTRACT The reflection of ecological concerns in literature has made its landmark entry with the writings of Raja Rao, R.K Narayan, Bhabani Bhattacharya, Kamala Markandya, Ruskin Bond Anita Desai, Kiran Desai and Amitav Ghosh. One of the important aspects of these writers is that they write predominantly the relationship between man and nature. They have given more poignancy to the exploration by dealing not only with beauty of the nature but also with power of the nature. Amitav Ghosh is one of the most eminent and accomplished writers of this genre with a strong eco-consciousness. He occupies a significant place in the world of ecocriticism. His works deal with the major themes of migration, displacement, subaltern experiences as well as the global concerns of environment related to flora and fauna. In the present paper, two novels of Ghosh The Hungry Tide (2004) and River of Smoke (2011) are considered for analyzing his consciousness towards ecology. Key Words: Environment, Ecological Balance, Human Interaction, Disasters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Human beings are closely associated with the nature. They constantly depend on it and interact with it. Apart from depending on nature for his survival, man has also made many transformations to nature to meet his needs. As a result nature also changed its face through interactions with man.

After receiving his education at Maharaja’s College, Mysore, he went to the United States in 1962 with a Fulbright Scholarship in the prestigious Indiana University. He then obtained a Ph.D in Linguistics in 1963. Later, he became the professor of Dravidian linguistics in the University of Chicago. Ramanujan’s literary tastes had their origins in the multi-lingual culture of his family which familiarised him with the literary traditions of the South such as Kannada and Tamil besides Sanskrit and English. Ramanujan’s poetry is basically philosophical in outlook as one finds a fusion of the contemporary scientific outlook with the peculiarly profound Hindu awareness of the spiritual and the metaphysical in human nature. He consciously keeps himself away from elaborating sentiments in his poems which intensifies the repressed quality of his poetry as there is always a deliberate intent to keep a powerful inner turmoil under check. The precise and tight structure of his poems gives the idea of a quiet tone that is further beautified by the use of minimal imagery.

    The Being of Bhasha: A General Introduction (Volume 1, Part 2) Chief Editor: G.N. Devy The first volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India brings to the reader the journey undertaken in 2010, by a group of visionaries led by G.N. Devy to document the languages of India as they existed then. The aim of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India was to document the languages spoken in India’s remotest corners. India’s towns and cities too have found a voice in this survey. The Being of Bhasha forms the introduction to the series. 2014 978-81-250-5488-7 152 pp ` 790 Rights: World 978-81-250-5775-8 (E-ISBN) The Languages of Jammu & Kashmir (Volume 12, Part 2) Volume Editor: Omkar N. Koul The twelfth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India documents the languages of the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The book is divided into three parts—the first part covers the scheduled languages, Dogri and Kashmiri; the second part, the non-scheduled and minor languages; and the third part is devoted to Sanskrit, Persian, Hindi and Urdu which have played an important role in the state and also influenced local languages. Though Urdu is the official state language, of late there has been a shift in the linguistic profile in Jammu & Kashmir as there have been some linguistic movements towards inclusion of local languages in various domains. In the discussions about the languages, there is information about their contemporary status, their historical evolution and structural aspects. The linguistic map included in the volume also gives an idea of areas where the main languages are spoken.

    KALKI’S AVATARS: WRITING NATION, HISTORY, REGION, AND CULTURE IN THE TAMIL PUBLIC SPHERE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Akhila Ramnarayan. M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 2006 Approved by Dissertation Committee: Professor Chadwick Allen, Adviser Adviser Professor Debra Moddelmog, Adviser Professor James Phelan Adviser English Graduate Program ABSTRACT Challenging the English-only bias in postcolonial theory and literary criticism, this dissertation investigates the role of the twentieth-century Tamil historical romance in the formation of Indian and Tamil identity in the colonial period. I argue that Tamil Indian writer-nationalist Kalki Ra. Krsnamurti’s (1899-1954) 1944 Civakamiyin Capatam (Civakami’s Vow)—chronicling the ill-fated wartime romance of Pallava king Narasimhavarman (630-668 CE) and fictional court dancer Civakami against the backdrop of the seventh-century Pallava-Chalukya wars—exemplifies a distinct genre of interventionist literature in the Indian subcontinent. In Kalki’s hands, the vernacular novel became a means by which to infiltrate the colonial imaginary and, at the same time, to envision a Tamil India untainted by colonial presence. Charting the generic transformation of the historical romance in the Tamil instance, my study provides 1) a refutation of the inflationary and overweening claims made in postcolonial studies about South Asian nationalism, 2) a questioning of naïve binaries such as local and global, cosmopolitan and vernacular, universal and particular, traditional and modern, in examining the colonial/postcolonial transaction, and 3) a case for a less grandiose and more carefully historicized account of bourgeois nationalism than has previously been provided by postcolonial critics, accounting for its complicities with ii and resistances to discourses of nation, region, caste, and gender in the late colonial context.
