Governor’s rule expires in the State on January 19. Governor’s rule in J&K: • The imposition of governor’s rule in J&K is slightly different than that in otherstates.

Phil), Mewar University, Chittorgarh, India) ABSTRACT Vijay Tendulkar (1928-2008) is ranked as one of the three maestros of Indian theatre–Girish Karnad and Badal Sircar may be taken as the other two. Of them Tendulkar has been the most prolific and perhaps the most popular playwright among the general theatre-goers—an artist who dedicated himself completely to the cause of theater. Tendulkar has been persistent in incorporating new form and techniques in his theatre to make it both philosophically thought – provoking and aesthetically satisfying. His theatre is appealing both to the common audience and aesthetically satisfying. His theatre is appealing both to the common audience and intellectual theatre –critics. He uses folk forms in modern theatre made waves. He has experienced how in a hegemonic culture people exploit others through different strategies—social, economic and even cultural. It may be said that this knowledge of Tendulkar functioned as a stimulus for him to undertake such themes as love and betrayal, sex and violence, politics and revenge in course of his long career as a playwright. Again the subject of exploitation is so hauntingly present in his theatre that any sensitive reader might find some affinity with the theoretical propositions of ‘power and knowledge’ as enunciated by Foucault in his seminal work Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings 1972- 1977.

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.

  • Marathi Theatre in Colonial India the Case of Sangeet Sthanik-Swarajya Athva Municipality
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 5/2015, S. 287-304 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-316-5 Tools of Satire: Marathi Theatre in Colonial India The Case of Sangeet Sthanik-Swarajya athva Municipality SWARALI PARANJAPE [email protected] Introduction Late nineteenth and early twentieth century colonial India witnessed a remarkable change in its social and political manifestations. After the Great Rebellion of 1857-8, the East India Company, until then domi- nating large parts of the Indian subcontinent, lost its power and the 288 British Crown officially took over power. The collision with the British and their Raj, as the British India was also called by its contem- poraries, not only created mistrust among the people and long-term resistance movements against the impact of foreign rule, it also generated an asymmetrical flow between cultural practices, ideologies, philosophies, art and literatures. This is evident in various Indian languages and Marathi is no exception. Marathi is one of the prominent modern Indian languages and the official language of the State Maharashtra. According to the Census of India 2001, it is the fourth most spoken language in India, after Hindi, Bengali and Punjabi. Traces of satire in Marathi literature can be found in the literary works of Marathi writers as far back as the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. By the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, during the colonial era, satire was abundantly used in the literature of Western India. Satire for these Marathi intellectuals – themselves products of the British colonial encounter – was a powerful literary mode to critique the colonial regime and the prevalent social evils of the time.

  • Vijay Tendulkar's Ghasiram Kotwal by Mr. Deepak
    Vijay Tendulkar’s Ghasiram Kotwal Deepak Assistant Professor (English, MGCUB) Former, Jr. Research Assistant, Penn State University, USA Ghashiram Kotwal Ghashiram Kotwal is a historical play, and the dates goes back to the rule of Nana Peshwa Violence and Sexual instinct play an important role for the construction of theme and content. Ghasiram, the Kotwal, is embodiment of violence whereas Nana Phadnavis represents sexual urge. Gauri, the daughter of Kotwal, stands for the cruelty against women by men to achieve their target. She is silent victim of violence. Vijay Tendulkar Vijay Tendulkar is one of the most controverisal Indian dramatist. His controversial drama includes Silence! The Court is Session and Sakharam Binder but, Ghashiram Kotwal is considered by many his most controversial play. According to Tendulkar, “Ghashirams are creations of socio-political forces which know no barriers of time and place.” Structure Two-act play Song, dance and music are integral part of the plot construction Story revolves around Ghasiram Savaldas’s rise and fall to the position of Kotwal of Poona and then his death through mob after a plot being hatched by Nana Phadnavis. Acquiring power remains the main thrust play, whereas, who challenged the authorities deserves nothing more than death. Various folk forms like Dashavatar, Khel, Tamasha, Kirtan and Bharud are employed by dramatist to make it more appealing to the regional audience. Moral corruption is depicted when Kotwal exchanges his daughter , Gauri, to Nana for the post of Kotwal.

  • Russian Drama in Marath I Polysystem 255
    RUSSIAN DRAMA IN MARATH I POLYSYSTEM 255 Chapter VI: RUSSIAN DRAMA IN MARATHI POLYSYSTEM I A brief discussion o,n the theoretical aspect of translation of drama: Before examining the specific trends in drama translation, it is essential to place the main streams in the area of theatre translation within the framework of broader main streams in literary translation theory. It is observed that drama translation generally follows these trends. As we have already discussed in Chapter II, in the last twenty-five years there have been two major conflicting developments in the translation theory. The linguistically-oriented trend considers literary translation as a process of textual transfer. This is an ST oriented approach. In this approach translation scholars draw on recent work in descriptive linguistics. They attempt to grasp systematically the syntactic, stylistic and pragmatic properties of the texts in question. Moving away from comparative textual analysis, attempts are also made to set translations and their reception within the context of the receiving culture. This involves the study of the translations in the TL culture. The focus is not on mere textual transfer, but on cultural mediation and interchange. With regard to the first trend, Bogatyrev in discussing the function of the linguistic system in theatre in relation to the total experience states: Linguistic expression in theatre is a structure of signs constituted not only as discourse signs, but also as other signs. (Bogatyrev 1971:517-30) In a study of the specific problems of literary translation, with particular reference to the translation of dramatic texts, Susan Bassnet states that: In trying to formulate any theory of theatre translation, Bogatyrev's description of linguistic expression must be taken into account, and the 256 linguistic element must be translated bearing in mind its function in theatre discourse as a whole.
