Book excerpt: "When the British Parliament ordered a sum to be set apart out of the revenues of India, for instructing a native population--it never could have been intended to teach them sedition." This is how The Calcutta Courier, a pro-British newspaper responded to the publication of Kylas Chunder Dutts novella A Journal of Forty Eight Hours in the Year 1945 in 1835, almost seventy-five years after the British first established their rule in Bengal. As the British East India Company expanded its rule across Indian territories in the late eighteenth century, a British education network was also established with the intent of "instructing a native population." Inadvertently, British education, which led to frequent Anglo-Indian cross cultural interactions, gave rise to an elite population that was soon able to compose works of literature in English and to articulate their own sense of identity and nationhood through English literary forms. A period of cross-cultural interactions led to what has come to be known as "the Bengal Renaissance," a cultural and social reform movement in Bengal that witnessed a re-awakening in Bengali art, literature, and intellectualism. Most importantly, it observed the emergence of nationalist sentiments that became central to the ideological foundations of the Indian Independence Movement, a series of mass-backed struggles from which the modern nation-states of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh arose. The Renaissances best known marker was the prolific literary production by Bengals Hindu elite in the nineteenth century. This literature charted a trajectory that began with English poetry in the late 1820s and found its culmination in Bankim Chandra Chatterjees Bengali novel Anandamath (1882). In my thesis, I trace this trajectory beginning with relatively obscure works of Bengali literature in English published before the 1857 War of Independence. Using a postcolonial theoretical framework and drawing especially on Frantz Fanons thought on phases of colonial writing, I comparatively analyze several literary works of this period and show how they set ideological precedents for Anandamath, where a clear articulation of Indian identity as Hindu identity is found. While Anandamath is widely recognized as an early articulation of religious nationalist ideology called "Hindutva," I demonstrate how its roots can be traced back to the strong nativist sentiments recurrently expressed in literary works published since the early phase of Bengal Renaissance. Such studies of colonial literature, I propose, need urgent attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare Studies in Colonial Bengal: The Early Phase represents an important direction in the area of historical research on the role of English education in India, particularly with regards to Shakespeare studies at the Hindu College, the first native college of European education in Calcutta, the capital city of British India during the nineteenth century. Focusing on the developments that led to the introduction of English education in India, Dr Dahiya’s book highlights the pioneering role that the eminent Shakespeare teachers at Hindu College, namely Henry Derozio, D.L. Richardson and H.M. Percival, played in accelerating the movement of the Bengal Renaissance. Drawing on available information about colonial Bengal, the book exposes both the angular interpretations of Shakespeare by fanatical scholars on both sides of the cultural divide, and the serious limitations of the present-day reductive theory of postcolonialism, emphasizing how in both cases such interpretations led to distorted readings of Shakespeare. Offering a comprehensive account of how English education in India came to be introduced in an atmosphere of clashing ideas and conflicting interests emanating from various forces at work in the early nineteenth century, Shakespeare Studies in Colonial Bengal places, in a normative perspective, the part played by each major actor in this highly-contested historical context, including the Christian missionaries, British orientalists, Macaulay’s Minute, the secular duo of Rammohan Roy and David Hare, and, above all, the Shakespeare teachers at Hindu College, the first native institution of European education in India.

Book excerpt: "This chapter sets out the located and multilingual approach to literary history employed in the book. It outlines the geographical and historical scope of the book and traces the changing political boundaries of Purab (East), the region east of Delhi in the Gangetic plain of northern India later better known as Awadh, from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. The presence of many small towns (qasbas), which were administrative, economic, and cultural nodes, but no capital city until the eighteenth century marks the decentered character of the region. The chapter also makes a case that the multilingual approach 'from the ground up employed in this book can help produce a richer and more textured take on world literature"--
Download or read book Memoir of an Artist written by Amitabh SenGupta and published by Partridge Publishing India. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir of an Artist is a compelling account of an unpredictable life that stretches through India, Nigeria, and Paris. As a student, he was a witness to the student revolt in Paris in 1968; in the seventies, he was in Nigeria observing the post-Biafra scenario as a teacher in the university. As a product of institutional education that shaped and groomed the new artists, he realizes the impact of Eurocentric dialogue on Indian art so imposing that it makes Indian art in perpetual transit. Again, in the process of creating dialogue within Kolkata life, author discovers contemporary art indeed has no social connectivity; thus, the educated progressive is unable to dialogue with the progressing art. Indian modernism has become a manufactured brand within art commerce, aligned to global marketing. Meanwhile, life has many spectrums, and the author has observed the modernistic agenda exists in contemporary art, as in many activities of Indian life, but each is like an island without connectivity.
