  • 3.Maheswar-Kalita-Article.Pdf
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) Influence of Ramayana on Modern Assamese Poetry Dr. Maheswar Kalita Associate Professor in Assamese Cotton University, Guwahati, Assam Abstract The great Indian epic Ramayana was the origin source of the great tradition i.e. culture, not only of India but also of Nepal, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, Java, Cambodia and Indonesia. It is to be noted that the ‘culture’ may be described as the characteristics of a society. The ‘characteristics’ consist of every good work carried out by the human beings, i.e. language, literature, music, art, religion, cuisine and social habits. There are deep influences of Ramayana on Indian culture. Indian writers of different ages were influenced by the great epic. That was also seen in the writings of Assamese writers. Madhava Kandali, a famous Assamese poet of 14th century rendered the Ramayana to Assamese. That was not the beginning of the said influence on Assamese literature, as we have seen the influence on the Assamese oral literature also. The romantic and the modern poets had also great respect to Valmiki and to the Ramayana. The influential Assamese literary magazine Ramdhenu was republished in 1952 under the editorial leadership of Dr. Birendra Kumar Bhattacharya and had set trends in Assamese literature. Poets of Ramdhenu tried to combine the western literary styles with Indian ideals. They collected poetic elements from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Puranas. Thus, they were deeply influenced by the epics. This paper aims to analysis the influences of the Ramayana on the poetry of Ramdhenu age (1951-60) of Assamese literature.

  • Published Books
    Published Books The Final Hour An Anthology of Selected Assamese Short Stories Deepika Phukan ISBN : 978-81-924562-4-9 Pages : 232 Price : ` 250 Year of pub. : 2012 About the Book The Final Hour is a collection of Assamese short stories translated into English. Set in the backdrop of the plains of Assam where the mighty Brahmaputra flows, the river is witness to the love, joy, success and ecstasy of the Assamese people. It is also witness to the religious frenzy, superstitions, betrayals, hate and violence that mark the dark hours of the night. Love and loyalty are hidden in the most unexpected quarters. Young Arjun fondly sings a lullaby to put a child to sleep… hatipoti, makipur, mezenga, bahut dur…! And in the end, deeply hurt to the core, he realizes that in this wide world, no one was truly your very own. Through the years, the Assamese have been known for their hospitality and kindness. Sayeed Ali, a Muslim boy, trapped in the middle of a communal riot, remembers the kindness of an aging Hindu couple. “Like a hen hiding her chicks from the claws of the kite, they protected me under the fold of their wings…” he says. And the stories go on until Abhijit’s final hour and beyond. These stories embrace a deep understanding of human behaviour as depicted by the authors. About the Translator Born in Calcutta, Dr. Deepika Phukan spent her childhood years in Madras and Jorhat and did her higher education from Guwahati. Her translated works include Moments, an anthology of short stories published by Cambridge India, Felanee, published by Zubaan, and Makam which is on the anvil with Zubaan for publication.

  • 'A Cat's Paw of Indian Reactionaries?'
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Asian Security published by Taylor & Francis: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/fasi20/current Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/26530 ‘A cat’s paw of Indian reactionaries?’ Strategic Rivalry and Domestic Politics at the India-China- Myanmar Tri-junction Avinash Paliwal Abstract: Ostensibly driven by concerns over a military standoff with China similar to Doklam, India increased military deployment at the Myanmar tri-junction. This article assesses the inevitability of systemic factors such as rivalry with China in determining India's approach on border issues. It asks why India sought formalization of its boundary with Burma in 1967? Given its territorial disputes with China, resolving the Burma boundary should have been high priority. Still, it took India two decades after independence to broach the subject. Based on fresh archival and interview data, this article answers the question by examining the India-Burma Boundary Agreement. A three-party territorial dispute, the making of this agreement witnessed simultaneous interplay between states with visible power differentials, and various stakeholders within India’s polity and bureaucracy. The article argues that even when inter-state competition is apparent, domestic factors may be more important in triggering foreign policy change. 1 Introduction1 The rhetoric of ‘standing up’ to China, showing Pakistan ‘its place’, and protecting ‘every inch’ of national territory are powerful,

  • Assamese Poetry (1889-2015) Credits: 4 = 3+1+0 (48 Lectures)
    P.G. 2nd Semester Paper: ASM801C (Core) Assamese Poetry (1889-2015) Credits: 4 = 3+1+0 (48 Lectures) Objective: The romantic trend of Assamese poetry as initiated by the jonaki in 1889 continued more or less upto 1939. The socio-economic-political changes brought about by the Second World War and India’s independence added new tone and tenor to Assamese poetry. In contemporary times, myriad factors have deeply influenced Assamese poetry thereby giving to it a separate character. This Course is expected to familiarize the students with this history of Assamese poetry by way of considering some select poems of the representative Assamese poets of the period in question.
