Download or read book Mothering India written by Susmita Roye and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian writing in English (IWE) is now a widely recognized and awarded genre, boasting of world renowned authors in its ranks. The ‘fathers’ of IWE, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, and Raja Rao, have now been canonized and their works widely studied. Yet, very little scholarly attention has been paid to the pioneering literary contributions of Indian women to analyse their effect on the cultural history of their times. Mothering India addresses this lack and concentrates on early Indian women’s fiction written between 1890 and 1947. It not only evaluates the influence of women authors on the rise of IWE, but also explores how they reassessed and challenged stereotypes about womanhood in India, adding their voice to the larger debate about social reform legislations on women’s rights. Moreover, in choosing to write in the colonizer’s language, they seized the attention of a much wider international readership. In wielding their pens, these trendsetting women stepped into the literary landscape as ‘speaking subjects’, refusing the passivity of being ‘spoken-of objects’, and thereby ‘mothering’ India by redefining her image.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject English - Literature, Works, language: English, abstract: The present paper is an attempt to examine the postcolonial impact on identity, culture and society. Amitav Ghosh does not restrict himself from describing the perilous days undergone during the partition of Bengal. He has interwoven and scrutinized the impacts of colonialism on the culture and society of two main neighboring cities, namely Calcutta and Dhaka. This novel throws light on the suppression faced by the people in the hands of the oppressors. The agony they felt has been realistically portrayed in the novel. Throughout the novel, the writer explicitly traces the postcolonial principles to show his interest in depicting the aftermath of colonization especially in an era after the emancipation. This paper, therefore, aims to explore the overall structure of the novel through postcolonial approach and provides examples from the novel regarding the application of some postcolonial elements such as identity crisis and otherness.

This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: Famous for multifarious writing, Salman Rushdie himself is a multifaceted personality, often emerges as an unpredictable figure with an unfathomable depth of creativity and criticism. Being an iconoclast, Rushdie never chooses the trodden road: he rather plunges headstrong into the unexplored territories of literature, not yet attempted. The present volume strives to find how Rushdie is germane in the twenty first century politics of globalization, literary schema, and cosmopolitanism. The book has been divided into two broad heads—the first section intrinsically deals with the most popular book of Rushdie, Midnight’s Children while the second section contains Rushdie’s latter fictions which have been researched and presented in the light of intertextuality, hybridity, diaspora and, of late, autobiography. The essays are written by Suhaina Bi, Sutanuka Ghosh Roy, Ram Bahawan Yadav, T. Sasikanth Reddy, Asis De, Vikrant Sehgal, Indah Lestari, Ajit Kumar, Hetal K. Kachhia, Hetal M. Doshi, Nesha Sabar/Pramod Kumar Das, Ramesh Tibile, Bini B. S., Manjeet Kumar Kashyap and Valiur Rahaman.
