Manas Bakshi: A Poet from ‘Void To Vibrancy’
Get PDFOnly a few young poets writing in English have been able to achieve the satiety that almost every true poet strives for. Manas Bakshi is one of those poets who has mastered both theme and craft. With the advancement of human knowledge, one cannot help but be impressed by the richness of individuality among mankind, the almost infinite variety of human beings, and the complexity of human nature. Theosophists have provided a numerical key to understanding the infinite variety and vast potentiality of man, with the governing number being seven, implying that there are seven main types of human beings, each with outstanding natural attitudes and qualities. Man of the Seventh Hour appears to be completing the cycle of human spirit evolution, which is journeying from primitive to modern, from void to vibrancy, from subjugation to emancipation, from beginning to end, a process of compelling reality. The one who perceives every\u27 materialistic, "superficial,\u27 \u27universal,\u27 and ‘supernatural\u27 gyration in its entity, as well as everything mundane and beyond/ not beyond his ascetic perceptibility. This paper attempts to explore the seven types of bodies and its evolution at the philosophical and poetic self of the poet Manas Bakshi
Submissive To Assertive: Metamorphosis of Rani In Karnad’s Nagamandala
Get PDFBeginning in the early nineteenth century, Indian English Drama has walked a gruelling path to the present, where it has received a breath of fresh air and life from emerging dramatists such as Asif Currimbhoy, Girish Karnad, Vijay Tendulkar, Mahesh Dattani, and others. Girish Karnad is a name that many people regard among this new generation of playwrights. He is a well-known playwright as well as a critically acclaimed film actor. Karnad began his writing career with Yayati and has since written a number of thought-provoking and symbolist plays steeped in myth and local culture. Nagamandala (1988) is a play that takes its inspiration from popular myth and oral stories centred on the King Cobra, \u27Naga,\u27 but raises issues that are as relevant today as they were in the past. It discusses the man-woman relationship, a woman\u27s position and identity, psychology, and the impact of social and cultural modes on the feminine psyche. This paper is a modest attempt to mark the metamorphosis in Rani, a character in Karnad’s Nagamandal
Swami Vivekananda- As the Pioneer of Saints Poetry
Get PDFThe majestic heritage of transcendental and spiritual saint poetry had a major impact on Indian literature. Spiritual, devotional, and mystical Indian Saint Poetry Swami Vivekananda and Swami Ramtirtha, two illustrious saints who were well versed in the use of English, composed beautiful poems in keeping with India\u27s spiritual and mystical genius. Swami Vivekananda is a forerunner of spiritual poetry and the ritual of saint-poetry that dates back to the Vedas, Upanishads, and the great epics—the Ramayana and Mahabharata—written by Rishis, India\u27s rich spiritual heritage. Their uplifting words, infused with radiant wisdom, have influenced Indian literature throughout the ages. His verses are steeped in Hindu doctrines and deep Advaita Vedanta, the practical and dynamic vision of philosophy capable of conquering the entire world. His poems, songs, and hymns are infused with mysticism, spiritual yearnings, artistic expressions, and prayers for peace, love, meditation, yoga, Brahma, Shiva, Goddess Kali, and soul liberation. The paper attempts to examine the tradition of saints’ poetry in IWE and its relevance in contemporary times
Stylistic Analysis of Ajsa\u27s Poem: In Front of Taj Mahal - Pred Taj Mahalom.
Get PDFThe description, explication, and evaluation of literary style is known as stylistic analysis. Linguistic deviations are an integral part of poetic style, contributing significantly to figurative and symbolic language use and increasing the novelty of expression in poetry. A poem hides more than it reveals, and it employs the most effective and delicately emotive use of language. Although it reflects deviant poetic diction, foregrounding is the throb of poetry. The concrete but deviant diction lends transparency to abstract feelings while retaining the charm of picturesque and precise details. Diverse shades of feelings and their meanings are brought to the forefront.
This paper is an attempt to explore Ajsa\u27s poem in front of the Taj Mahal (PRED TAJ MAHALOM) which is by far the best in her remarkable poetry collection "Another Moment." The poem\u27s classic use of symbolic and linguistic elements compelled me to investigate its hidden beauty through stylistic analysis. The significant aspects of syntax, semantics, linguistic deviations, and thematic complexity will be examined in the poem\u27s stylistic analysis
Translation as Power
Get PDFSince different countries and languages have been in contact with each other, translation has been useful in conveying one culture to another, sometimes under disparate conditions liable for unfocused and prejudiced translations. Translation as a profession began only a few years ago in global institutes, management sectors, civic corporations, and translation agencies. The idea that all languages are of equal worth and substance, and that everyone has the right to articulate and inscribe his or her own language, whether it is a national or a minority tongue, is not widely accepted. Translation as a career can be pursued in a collaborative setting with translators, revisers, terminologists, writers, and clients. To conclude, only one person can be held accountable for the translation, and translation must rely on a single technique. This report argues that everything, without exception, is translatable and adaptable, and that the translator cannot have the luxury of claiming that some texts cannot be transformed
An Imaginary Haven- Madhupur or Macondo: Reaching out to Sheelabhadra’s World
Get PDFSheelabhadra belongs to a different geo-cultural locale among contemporary Assamese story writers. He draws on the pastoral disquiet landscape, and continues to delve deep into the recesses of his memories of a home far removed from the proximity of his physical reality, yet he remains a spirited troubadour traversing the bucolic terrains within, along the rhythms of Madhupur musings - his reinvented home- fashioned by his imaginations. Sheelabhadra\u27s stories take him on a critical journey into the past, attempting to reach out to the moments that shaped him as an individual and as a member of a historical community. In telling the stories, these writers have a safe haven to return to. They allow events and people to migrate from the villages of their own memories to the narrative of the stories, where they quickly become immortal in their respective fictional universes. This paper would make an attempt to make a brief analysis of his select works and their significance in our understanding of a history, which is more than a mere impersonal recording of information, it is rather a chronicling of the annals of a past with the warmth of intimacy
Women\u27s Writing: A Challenge to "Malestream" Determinism
No full textDeterminism and Feminism are as diametrically opposed as sugar and spice, fire and water, and day and night. Determinism holds that human action is determined by forces other than will. Feminism implies that collective will can deconstruct the structures of production, reproduction, sexuality, and socialisation that have disadvantaged women. "Woman," born free and autonomous like the rest of God\u27s creatures, is compelled by "malestream determinism" to become "the other." Determinism forbids any change in "Her" status, whereas Feminism includes the tool of transformational politics, which can lead to a more egalitarian social order. Determinism effectively closes the door, whereas Feminism opens new doors of opportunity. Male and female have no universal or deterministic meanings because the individual assumes a gendered identity only within a set of specific social and historical practises. Complexity politics does not imply that identities such as woman/man, black/white, Hindu/Muslim, and Western/Eastern must be abandoned. What it does is interrogate their history in order to demonstrate how the power behind these identities is exercised. The paper seeks to establish the women writing which a challenge to Malestream determinism
Swami Nem Pal’s Poetry: An Exploration
Get PDFSwami Nem Pal had earlier held the post of MLA thrice in Uttar Pradesh, but as a veteran politician, he has slashed the disgusting depravity and massive corruption prevalent in Indian Politics. It seems he has been an honest and patriotic politician throughout his political career. Swami Nem Pal exhibited his strong poetic acumen in his first poetry book India Malcontent (1998). In India Malcontent (1998) the poet has peeled off the hypocritical mask of fiendish reprobated of Indian democracy (democracy) in an incisive language. The poet extols the meritorious, selfless contribution of labourers and farmers to the cause of the development of India and then deplores about their miseries in these lines: “You have built this nation great/ you labourers, farmers capable/ you are the masters but your fate/ is most heart-rending and miserable.” The repetition of pronoun ‘you’ causes not only alliteration but also projects the great importance of the selfless, sincere services of the farmers and labourers who live in miseries

Though his collection Millennium Blues carries several themes of Mandir and Masjid, (Urbanization), Philosophy of life, Romanticism, Nature, reminiscences of childhood, communalism and the poems on dignitaries like Ram Bilas Sharma, Rajiv Gandhi, Kalpna Chawla, Monica and Stefi, yet the portrayal of women is kaleidoscopic as well as prismatic.

Lyric Lute: A Sheen of Subjectivism and Lyricism
Get PDFMahendra Bhatnagar’s ninth collection of poems in English translated by Dr. Shaleen Kumar Singh is unique in itself as it has the brilliance of subjectivism and lyricism in his poems which is quite uncommon in the literary world of present time. It is often seen that most of the poets plainly describe the thoughts and particular situation which strike than. They feel no need to mix their own personality in them. So it can be judged in the light of this new trend of poetry that no feeling penned in the poems can have any outpouring of poets’ heart. These poems can be termed as the poems bare of poet’s personal predicament and aspiration for a particular emotion or scene. But the poems of Mahendra Bhatnagar in present collection completes this lack of modern poetry, though his collections are translated from Hindi into English but this work of conversion is done so dexterously that the beauty of his original poems is tried to be maintained to its full one more fact is also noteworthy here that the poems of Mahendra Bhatnagar are in itself lyrical, his thoughts are the natural flow of emotions in which lyricism simply mixes with it
