Krishnan M.Sc., Ph.D. I’m very glad to note that many research articles were presented and discussed in detail in the International Conference on Paradigms of Marginality in Literature - Exploring the Nuances conducted by our Department of English and Comparative Literature. I’m also glad to note that selected papers presented in the International Conference are compiled in several volumes and that several selected articles are now being published for the benefit of scholars around the world. Marginality is a very important topic for discussion and is also a matter of great concern. Creative writers have focused on the marginality around the world including India in their creative works. Such discussions create in us great concern for those who are marginalized for various reasons, and such discussions will help us to improve the social, economic and psychological condition of people and communities around us. Our Department of English and Comparative Literature is well-known for their continued significant involvement in the study of literature from around the world and compare these literatures with our own great traditional and modern literary works. I wish continued great success for the activities of Department of English and Comparative Literature under the leadership of Prof. Dr. S. Chelliah, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., D.Litt. My greetings and thanks are due to all the participants of the International Conference as well as the academic and administrative staff of the Department of English and Comparative Literature. ================================================================ Language in India www.languageinindia.com

  • Dharma and Caste in the Mahabharata
    TIF - Dharma and Caste in the Mahabharata RUDRANGSHU MUKHERJEE February 5, 2021 Assembly of Warriors, illustration to the Gemini Ashwamedha of the Mahabharata | Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Francis H. Burr Memorial Fund and Friends of the Fogg Art Museum Fund The Mahabharata is peopled by the ‘higher’ castes but there are important personages from the ‘lower’ castes whose presence gives a radical salience to ‘dharma’ as set out in the epic, to the point of even suggesting a subversion of the dominant ideology. There is a scholarly consensus that below the apocalyptic events---covered in five of the 18 books--- that form the core of the epic, the idea of dharma serves as a principal theme. Many dimensions of the idea are explored through characters, sub-tales and events; even transgressions of dharma illuminate it.1 In comparison, the great book has very little to say explicitly about caste or varna in the sense that it does not address the question of inequality that the operation of the caste system inevitably engenders. It need hardly be emphasized that most of the main characters come from the two top castes and the language of the epic is Sanskrit, the language of these two castes. The second caste, kshatriyas, not surprisingly, dominates the epic. According to one calculation, there are as many as 175 references to kshatriyadharma in the epic (Hiltebeitel: 2014: 528). In contrast, the vaisyadharma and sudradharma receive nine and six references respectively (Hiltebeitel: 2014: 528). Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in February 5, 2021 The argument that this essay seeks to present through the narration of certain episodes and characters, is that the lower castes do make significant appearances in the epic and that those appearances are not unrelated to the epic’s approach to dharma—in fact, those appearances give a radical salience to the question of dharma.

  • Scapegoat, Sacrifice, Or Saviour: an Examination of the Outsider in The
    Scapegoat, Sacrifice, or Saviour: An Examination of the Outsider in the Mahābhārata by © Micheline Hughes A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Religious Studies Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2014 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis examines part of the cultural history of social exclusions through a study of the portrayal of the Niṣādas, a tribal group, in the Hindu epic, the Mahābhārata. Three factors contribute to the social exclusion of the Niṣādas in the epic: social construction of identity, caste and dharma, and geography and liminality. The three Mahābhārata narratives that are the focus of the thesis’s analysis (the narratives of Ekalavya, the House of Lac, and Nala and Damayantī) portray six Niṣādas, and one king, Nala, who undergoes a period of social exclusion. Outsiders are portrayed as scapegoat, sacrifice, and/or savior for the epic’s heroes. However, when Niṣādas fulfill these roles, they are either exterminated or mutliated as a result of acts of those very heroes. The thesis argues that the factors of social exclusion work together to accomplish marginalization, and that violence facilitates the process of social exclusion in the epic. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my very great appreciation to Dr. Patricia Dold, my thesis supervisor. Her invaluable guidance, immense patience, unfailing support, kindness, and sense of humour were extremely helpful to me as I researched, wrote, and edited this thesis. I have learned a great deal from her and will carry these lessons with me into my future academic work.

Heretics, robbers, theives and poor persons should be employed to kill them by poison. Outwardly we should pretend to be religiously.Rituals, sacrifices etc should be performed.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.24321/2395.3810.201801 Abstract In order to cater a huge audience, film makers from all over the world have adopted literature writings for movie making.

  • Representation of Problems of Youth and Fraudulent Society in Chetan Bhagat’S Revolution 2020
    SOCIAL REALISM: REPRESENTATION OF PROBLEMS OF YOUTH AND FRAUDULENT SOCIETY IN CHETAN BHAGAT’S REVOLUTION 2020 DIGAMBAR S. KULKARNI Department of English Hon. Shri. Annasaheb Dange A.C.S. College, Hatkanangale (MS) (INDIA) The present paper is an honest attempt to understand the concept of social realism in literature. Realism, broadly speaking, is the faithful or truthful representation of the events in a matter of fact way avoiding any kind of embellishment or glorification. In literature, the term ‘realism’ is associated with a number of prefixes that varies its trends of presentation. There may be philosophical realism, magic realism, surrealism, hallucinatory realism, social realism and many more. Social realism is a literary technique that presents a true picture of society. It also mirrors the life as it is and offers social commentary. The novelists who use the technique of social realism often present the social evils, social injustice and social issues that affect the life of middle class particularly. Chetan Bhagat is the well known author of six novels and all these novels are about the youth, their aspirations and problems, their struggle, success and failures. According to Chetan Bhagat, the young generation of India is on the verge of destruction. They are indulged in drinking, smoking, sex and illegal business. Gopal, the narrator-cum-protagonist of Bhagat’s fifth novel Revolution 2020: Love, Corruption, Ambition (2010) symbolically stands for the young generation of India who are walking on the wrong path. Aarti, the only female character in the novel enjoys Gopal’s company for drinking and develops sexual relations with him though she loves Raghav.
