  • Kane's Urmila: a Relevant Feminist Myth Creation
    Poonam Sharma, Nitin Bhatnagar, Turkish Online Journal of Qualitative Inquiry (TOJQI) Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2021: 3905 - 3911 Research Article Kane’s Urmila: A Relevant Feminist Myth Creation Poonam Sharma, Research Scholar, Department of English, GLA University, Mathura. E-mail: [email protected] Nitin Bhatnagar, Professor, Department of English, GLA University, Mathura. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT The epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata have been an integral part of the Indian cultural tradition. Since centuries, they have been told and reinterpreted several times and handed down from one generation to another. The Ramayana is based on the morals such as the triumph of goodness over evil, obedience, brotherhood, love, compassion, sacrifice – all looped into the thread of Indian cultural tradition with an emphasizes on the value of dharma. However, there are some female characters that have been left on the margin in this epic and have been portrayed as upholders of male honour. They are devoid of the proper attention for their roles and sacrifices they deserve. Kavita Kane in her novel, Sita’s Sister has revisited the Ramayana from the daring and unwavering Urmila’s (Laxmana’s wife) perspective – a marginalized character who has never received the responsiveness she is worthy of. Kane has given voice to the muted character of Urmila. The present paper studies the contemporary relevance of Sita’s Sister from feminist- revisionist myth-making point of view. Key Words: Ramayana; Re-vision; margin; Indian culture; feminist- revisionist myth-making. Introduction Kavita Kane, an Indian writer, known for her mythology-fiction, has written books based on retellings of Indian myths.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

  • SYMBOLS of STRENGTH OR of SUBSERVIENCE? VARYING STANDARDS of WOMANHOOD in INDIAN MYTHOLOGY and LITERATURE Lakshmi Sirisha Angajala (M.A
    VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol.7 Issue 2 An International Peer Reviewed(Refereed) Journal 2020 Impact Factor (SJIF) 4.092 http://www.joell.in RESEARCH ARTICLE SYMBOLS OF STRENGTH OR OF SUBSERVIENCE? VARYING STANDARDS OF WOMANHOOD IN INDIAN MYTHOLOGY AND LITERATURE Lakshmi Sirisha Angajala (M.A. English II Year, K.L.E.F) Email: [email protected] doi: 10.33329/joell.7.2.94 ABSTRACT Women have been accorded varying statuses in the history of India and Indian literature. Ancient Indian texts such as the Vedas and the Upanishads have exalted the glory of women and celebrated womanhood as the most powerful, divine and empowering. As time progressed, however, the status of women has steadily declined. Post-invasion India imported standards and conventions from regions like Central Asia, Greece, Rome and other European countries. British India imposed gender roles that were an amalgam of the Brahmanical conventions and bourgeoise Victorian standards. The existing Indian literature was altered substantially to reflect these standards which were unfavourable to women. The Pativrata / Panchakanya tales stand as an example of such an alteration. The tales, which were simply depictions of the lives of inspiring women, were modified to preach domesticity and subservience to women. Modern Indian writers are reclaiming the tales by reinterpreting them based on modern literary theories and by unravelling the distortions made to the original lore. This paper seeks to examine the original Pativrata tales, the distortions made to the same over the course of time and their reinterpretation in the post-colonial period. Keywords: Mythology, Pativrata, Panchakanya, Victorian Gender Roles, Brahmanical Gender Roles.

In the following year the Economic and Political Weekly brought out a special issue containing articles by scholars who attempted to asses Kosambi’s work in different areas of Indology. But some of the assessments, far from being impartial and objective, were unduly critical and one of them bordered on vitriol and vituperation. The present volume, however, brings together articles by scholars who are neither allergic to nor adulatory about the work of Kosambi but seek to present a balanced and critical appraisal.

These productive intersections between the development of colonial national theatre, and the development of melodrama also coincided with the rise of cultural nationalism in early twentieth century colonial India. Parsi theatre therefore became the generative site for imagining, producing and circulating the ideas of a nation and national belongingness through a shared idiom of narrative and performance culture, and the shared experience of a consolidated theatrical public.

  • Oct-Nov 2013 President’S Note
    Hindu Samaj Temple of Minnesota Oct-Nov 2013 President’s Note Dear Community Members, I would like to thank the community for the overwhelming support at the Puja on the New Temple Land in September. It was great to see several new faces among the familiar ones. The event was very successful in bringing the community together to celebrate and commemorate new beginnings on the New Land. This gives the board hope and encouragement toward building a new Temple. Can we do it? Yes, we can. We did it before and I am sure we can accomplish it again. However we need the continued support of the community for us to realize our Goal of a New Temple. Last week, we as a community celebrated Navarathri. This was a 9-day celebration at the Temple with Pujas held each day for a special Devi, along with celebrating Golu, the festival of dolls. The Pujas were hosted by several groups from the community including children from the Hindi Paathshala, Bala Gokulam and Balavikas. These events at the Temple serve not only our religious needs but also educate our Youth in our cultures and bring the community together on a social level. I am looking for more involvement of the community in several of the future events. Wishing you all a Very Happy Diwali from the Board of Directors and Board of Trustees, Hindu Samaj Temple. Sincerely, Santhi Subramaniam. Editor’s Note By Rajani Sohni Greetings to all our readers! We are back after the break for summer with a new issue of Samarpan.

  • Looking Beyond Valmiki's Text: Revisions in Amish Tripathi's Scion Of
    LOOKING BEYOND VALMIKI’S TEXT: REVISIONS IN AMISH TRIPATHI’S SCION OF IKSHVAKU DR. PAYEL DUTTA CHOWDHURY RASHMI KUMARI Professor & Director M.A. English 3rd Semester School of Arts & Humanities School of Arts & Humanities REVA University, Bengaluru REVA University, Bengaluru (KR) INDIA (KR) INDIA Well-known author, Amish Tripathi, famous for his ‘Shiva Trilogy’, has shot into fame once again with the publication of his books on Lord Rama. The first book in this series, Scion of Ikshvaku, (2015) is a revisionist rendering on Rama’s story, bringing within its corpus several untouched perspectives like the portrayal of Roshni, Manthara’s daughter and her gang rape, Surpanakha’s infatuation with Ram and Sita’s portrayal as the Prime Minister of Mithila and a skilled warrior. This paper is an attempt to study Tripathi’s revisionist text vis-à-vis Valmiki’s classical one to explore the various ways that the contemporary text has been used to bring about new perspectives. This paper will also look at Tripathi’s conscious move at giving voices to the silent, muffled or stereotypical voices of the women in the epic. Keywords: revisionist, stereotype, perspective, relationship, silent, under-represented INTRODUCTION Revisionism as a genre has gained momentum in today’s time. The term ‘Historical Revisionism’ denotes re-interpretation of historical record and includes re-looking at facts, evidence and interpretations. Revisionism in literature is a movement towards fresh interpretations or perspectives on classical texts. In the Indian scenario, several contemporary writers like Devdutt Pattanaik, Sharath Kommaraju, Kavita Kane, Amish Tripathi, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, to name a few, have presented under-represented voices from ancient DR.
