Book excerpt: In 1979, Mridula Garg released her third Hindi novel, Chittacobra, the story of an intense love affair between a young Indian woman--disconnected from her home, social milieu, marriage and husband--and a gypsy missionary from Scotland. There was an uproar--the novel was branded obscene and the police came to arrest her. But the controversy also took this remarkably frank and sensitive exploration of love and desire to many thousands of readers. It became, and remains to this day, one of the most celebrated works of contemporary Hindi literature.

Book excerpt: जो लिखा है, उसे उपन्यास कहते मुझे संकोच हो रहा है। जिस तरह यह लिखा गया, याद करके हँसी आती है। एक कहानी थी जो मेरे अन्तर्मन में फैलती-सिकुड़ती रहती थी। फिर एक दिन उस कहानी के अन्तराल का एक-एक क्षण अपनी कड़ी से टूटकर बिखर गया। मैंने आँखें फैलाकर देखा तो दीखा, हर क्षण अलग से फैल रहा है और पूरी एक कहानी का आभास दे रहा है। यह सच है कि मैंने उन अलग-अलग क्षणों को लिखने की प्रक्रिया में अलग-अलग जिया है...आखिर मैं थक गई। लिखे हुए पन्नों को एक जगह इकट्ठा किया और यह बात मेरे लिए सुखद आश्चर्य का विषय है कि पूरी पुस्तक में एक अन्तर्धारा बहती हुई दीखती है और एकसूत्रता भी आसानी से पकड़ में आती है। इस उपन्यास में परिच्छेद नहीं हैं। मैं जानती हूँ, जीवन की इतनी प्रवहमान धारा को टुकड़ों में नहीं काटा जा सकता। अन्दर के दबाव के कारण ही शायद यह हो सका है कि क्षणों में जी और लिखी गई इस कहानी के टुकड़ों का क्रम भी बाद में तय हुआ। दरअसल, बहती नदी से किसी किनारे खड़े होकर पानी पियो - क्या फर्क पड़ता है! क्रम-निर्धारण का पूर्वग्रह तो कहानी गढ़ने में होता है; जो कहानी है, वह तो...कोई कहीं से भी साथ हो ले... - इसी पुस्तक से
Download or read book Writing Gender Writing Nation written by Bharti Arora and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation through a rigorous analysis of selected women’s fiction ranging from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional contexts. Indian women’s writing across languages, texts, and contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.
Download or read book Out of Print Ten Years An Anthology of Stories written by Indira Chandrasekhar and published by Context. This book was released on with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book Out of Print in print! A decade ago, in 2010, Indira Chandrasekhar set up Out of Print to address a need she felt as a writer: a focused platform for the short story; a space for robust editorial discussions as well as one that would serve as a platform for discoveries—of newer facets of the form itself and of new writing. This commemorative volume hopes to capture something of that adventure. It is, thus, not a ‘best of’ volume, but one that speaks to the spirit of the magazine: its diversity of literary voices, its openness to experimentation, its focus on Indian-language publishing and its stand against mediocrity. Most crucially, of course, this is an ode to the short-story form, its ‘art of brevity and honesty’.

Download or read book I Have Not Seen Mandu a Fractured Soul Memoir written by Swadesh Deepak and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description When Swadesh Deepak-celebrated Hindi playwright and short-story writer- arrives at PGI, Chandigarh, after having tried to set himself on fire, the doctors don't know if he belongs in the burns unit or in the psychiatric ward. He's living a 'curse'. A dangerous seductress-his Mayavini-is taking revenge for his insulting rebuff at her wish to visit with him the famous lovers' palace in Mandu. She comes to him at night, sometimes with three white leopards, and she leaves the smell of her body in his nostrils. When he tries to kill himself, she tells him he will not die. He is firmly in her clutches, but he will tolerate anything for her, from humiliation at the hands of acquaintances to carnivorous worms under his skin. This fractured, shattering narrative-among the most unusual books ever published in India-records Deepak's descent into madness and his brief, uncertain recovery. Shortly after it was published, he left home for a walk one morning and never returned. As the translator, Jerry Pinto, writes in his introduction: '[Deepak's] words carry all the scars of who he was and what his illness had made of him... His voice echoes from the bottom of a well.'
Download or read book Female Identity in Feminist Writings written by Dr. Vaishali Dahiya and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Female Identity in Feminist Writings" revolves around the thought that Feminism is an ideology with a difference. This makes it peculiarly difficult to analyze and criticize the terms usually applied to ideologies. If women were to be truly equal to men, then there would be a need for female emancipation within both private and public spheres. Perhaps men or the state should have a greater role in child-rearing, realizing women have a greater role in every sphere. Perhaps there should be a "wage" for the work done by women in the private sphere. Whatever the answer, there is agreement among feminists that such divisions are not "natural" or "biological" in origin, but social, and as such, can be reformed by social and political change.
Download or read book Indian Feminist Ecocriticism written by Douglas A. Vakoch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Françoise d’Eaubonne’s creation of the term “ecofeminism” in 1974, scholars around the world have explored ways that the degradation of the environment and the subjugation of women are linked. In the nearly three decades since the publication of the classical work Ecofeminism by Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva in 1993, several collections have appeared that apply ecofeminism to literary criticism, also known as feminist ecocriticism. The most recent of these include anthologies that emphasize international perspectives, furthering the comparative task launched by Mies and Shiva. To date, however, there have been no books devoted to gaining a broad-based understanding of feminist ecocriticism in India, understood in its own terms. Our new volume Indian Feminist Ecocriticism offers a survey of literature as seen through an ecofeminist lens by Indian scholars, which places contemporary literary analysis through a sampling of its diverse languages and in the context of millennia-old mythic traditions of India.
Download or read book India s Revolutionary Inheritance written by Chris Moffat and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do anti-colonial histories mean for politics in contemporary India? How can we understand a political terrain that appears crowded with the dead, heroic figures from past struggles who call the living to account and demand action? What role do these 'afterlives' play in the inauguration of new politics and the fashioning of possible futures? In this engaging and innovative analysis of anti-colonial afterlives in modern South Asia, Chris Moffat crafts a framework that takes the dead seriously - not as passive entities, ceremonially invoked, but as active interlocutors and instigators in the present. Focusing on the iconic revolutionary martyr Bhagat Singh (1907–1931), Moffat establishes the problem of inheritance as central to the forms and futures of democracy in this postcolonial polity. Tracing Bhagat Singh's revenant presence in India today, he demonstrates how living communities are animated by a sense of obligation, duty or debt to the dead.
Download or read book Postmodern Traces and Recent Hindi Novels written by Veronica Ghirardi and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodernism is a notoriously elusive concept and still the object of critical debates among scholars across a range of different disciplines. In literature, in particular, these debates are complicated by “postmodern” styles emanating from outside the concept’s Western origins. By analyzing contemporary Hindi novels, and drawing on both Western and Hindi literary criticism, "Postmodern Traces and Recent Hindi Novels" aims to understand some of the manifestations of postmodernism in contemporary Hindi fiction, including ways the latter might challenge the traditional parameters of postmodern literature. This book is essential reading for scholars and students specializing in South Asian studies and both postcolonial and comparative literature. It will also interest the general reader curious to know more about one of the less explored areas of world literature.
