Kumar, Vikas. « WATER CRISIS IN DALIT LITERAURE : FICTION AND REALITY ». Journal of English Language and Literature 10, no 01 (2023) : 01–06. http://dx.doi.org/10.54513/joell.2023.10101.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Caste is a stigma in Indian society and has hampered its growth. Because of this, a section of society has perpetually dictated the lower castes. The upper caste has tormented Dalits economically and socially for primary needs such as water, an essential need for both humans and animals. The upper castes have forbidden the right to water to a lower caste. The upper classes felt that a touch of Dalit would contaminate the water. If a Dalit happened to trod into a pond, the Indian priest had to sanctify the defiled water with a yajna. This situation led to many heart-rending casualties. This paper will investigate how the denial of even the fundamental right to water has rendered trouble in the lives of Dalits in India. Though the Dalit leaders had launched Satyagraha for Dalits to use a public tank in Maharashtra, the upper caste Hindus banned, the lower caste Hindus' access to water bodies. The present study will shed light on water issues, specifically in Dalit literature by non-Dalit writers. Do upper caste Hindus still keep separate water bodies for themselves? To what degree have progressive writers displayed it in their writings?

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mulk Raj Anand was a revolutionary writer of the twentieth century India who changed the mode of writing and thinking in the field of Indian fiction writing. The novelists before him, who had written fiction, wrote the fictional side of life which were ideal and romantic in nature. There were a smaller number of issues of the society. Mulk Raj Anand’s writing brought revolutionary change in the field of fiction writing. He wrote the novels for the sake of untouchables and the poor. He raised the issues of casteism, capitalism, feudalism, colonialism and imperialism through his novels. In Untouchable, he has attacked one of the worst social evils of the Indian society which was ignored by the previous writers and that is blot on Indian society, culture and tradition that has colonized eighty five percent people of Indian society. This sensibility has ruined creativity of Indian people. Casteism and untouchability are the blots on the face of humanity. Anand seems fighting for the liberty, equality and justice of the untouchables and the poor. He appealed for the basic human rights and needs in the newly emerging civil structure of colonial and post-independence India. He had the opinion among all the fundamental rights that human dignity is the highest. Bakha, the leading character, had the resistance in the mind but he could not express it due to the fear of his caste. Bakha is a metaphor for all the untouchables of India.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Kachru (1965, 1966) has presented a detailed analysis of the idiosyncratic vocabulary items of Indian English (hereafter IE). He observes that “in India an idiom of English has developed which is Indian in the sense that there are formal and contextual exponents of Indianness in such writing, and the defining-context of such idiom is Indian setting” (1965:396). To illustrate how IE has become culture bound in India, he mentions many formations, such as confusion of caste, dung wash, saltgiver, rape-sister, etc., drawn from IE fiction, and calls them Indianisms.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Aravind Adiga, a Man Booker Prize winner, aims at depicting a realistic picture of Indian society along with its root cause of evil. He attempts to bring the dark side of India over the ‘shining India’. He criticised the moral decadence and lack of basic principles among Indians. In The White Tiger and Last Man in Tower he portrays the power game in metropolis like; Delhi and Mumbai. This paper studies the socio-political realities of Indian society through the lens of power politics. Adiga makes an effort to showcase the experiences which underprivileged Indian people go through their entire lives. This paper also describes how Adiga depicts socio-cultural encounters in India; especially in power-politics, the Caste system, and master-servant society. It demonstrates the colossal fight between the common man and the dominating political issues such as the caste system, democracy and justice. The research depicts the miscarriage of justice, corruption and other alarming issues of contemporary Indian society. Adiga spotlights modern India by comparing India of darkness and India of light. Adiga’s work of fiction unveils the dark web of politics behind the frame of globalisation and development.

Pratap, Aastha. « The Portrayal of the Suffering of Socially Denigrated, Suppressed and Silenced Class in Indian Fiction ». SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH 8, no 2 (28 février 2020) : 13. http://dx.doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v8i2.10411.
Texte intégralRésumé :
These lines are more appropriate to the present day. It’s a time when India is emerging as economic power, globalized culture and trends but still there lies an abominable and harrowing portrait of caste system behind this glittering appearance. It is so appalling that despite of 69 years of freedom from the clutches of imperialism, we are not yet free from our own social vices of stigmatizing the people belonging to the so called “lower classes”. It’s the harsh reality of our society that even in this 21th century there are some people called “Dalits or Untouchables”, who face discrimination, violence, and oppression from the higher castes or traditional upper classes particularly in access of jobs (works), education, health care, property and marriages etc. They are discriminated socially, economically, even in the matter of religion also. This paper intends to throw some light on the sordid saga of Dalit’s plight and their frequent subjection to oppression, silence to violence and marginalization. Their voice was suppressed so long, their rights has been violated, they are denied to access to land and forced to work in degrading conditions, also they are abused by police and upper- caste society routinely. Though things have changed with the flow of time but still dalits are suffering in many ways, which will be highlighted in this paper with the help of some fiction in Indian literature.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract: One can see the primary difference between man and woman on the basis of their gender. This biasness depicts the biased mentality of men and their dominating society. It is seen in Indian English Drama that Gender consciousness is one of the most burning and dominating issue that Indian dramatists aim to reflect in their plays. After six decades of post - colonial account of Indian English fiction, we get that a wide-ranging range of playwrights have emerged concentrating consciousness on a huge figure of marvelous concerns whether economic, political, spiritual, and social. These playwrights confronted three corresponding periods of human experience. As we know that there is a large number of playwrights who emerged and focused on the burning issues of India. Among those Vijay Dhondopant Tendulkar is such a playwrights who not only see the social evils but also depicted on literary canvas as it should be. Tendulkar (1928 - 2008) is a foremost and televisio’s prominent Indian playwright. He wrote for movie and television. Besides these, he is a legendary essayist, radical columnist, and social interpreter too, chiefly in Marathi language. As we have me ntioned earlie r t hat Tendulakar has experie nced the problem, need and necessities of Indian societ y. In thi s way it can’t be argued that the most of Tendulkar’s plays derived motivation from real - life happenings orsocial disorders which helped him to provide a clear estimate of the punitive genuineness

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004) is considered one of the pioneering Indian writers in English of Anglo-Indian fiction who gained international acclaim. Along with R.K. Narayana, and Raja Rao, he is popularly known as the trio of Indian English novelists. He marked his revolutionary appearance by giving voice to the oppressed section of the society with his novel, Untouchable in 1935. In this novel, he takes a day from the life of Bakha, a young sweeper who is an untouchable because of his work of cleaning latrines in the early 20th century British India. Discrimination based on caste and poverty are the two focal points of this novel. This paper aims at portraying a kaleidoscope of socio-cultural, economic and political spheres of life. It aims at painting the unexplored, and less talked vistas of life. Hence while revisiting untouchability and poverty, this paper offers an analysis to a variety of colours or a collage of varied aspects of human life.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The adaptation of evolving technology in Indian filmmaking has been a process of embracing it as a valuable tool rather than perceiving it as an alien imposition from formerly colonized nations. Developments in telecommunications since 1995 have profoundly impacted filmmaking in India, from the technology employed to the evolution of non-fiction storytelling. In an environment where mainstream journalism faces challenges and grassroots media gradually gains viewership on digital platforms, immersive journalism can enhance civic participation by providing a heightened sense of 'immersion' and 'presence' compared to traditional two-dimensional formats. This paper examines 360-degree immersive journalism videos produced by ElseVR, a non-fiction subsidiary of Mumbai-based Memesys Cultural Lab, a pioneer in mixed-reality filmmaking in India. During the first wave of VR immersive non-fiction, ElseVR released app-based quarterly magazines featuring 360 video documentaries. These films not only offered narrative experiences but also encouraged viewers to assume various perspectives while watching them. Utilizing Nash's (2022) concepts for interpreting first-person experiences in VR documentaries, this study employs the positions of tourist, encounter, and witness to analyze three immersive journalistic documentaries using ElseVR's technology: Nishtha Jain's Submerged (2016), Naomi Shah and Pourush Turel's Caste is Not a Rumour (2017), and Faiza Khan's When Land Is Lost, Do We Eat Coal (2016). Each position provides insight into the experience of entering unfamiliar spaces, as interest, curiosity, and the VR environment’s affordances give rise to a multi-sensory experience where the positions of tourist, encounter, and witness uniquely intersect. In India, where digital and smartphone penetration varies significantly, the potential for widespread adoption of such technology remains uncertain. However, the intersections between journalism, civic engagement, and technology in ElseVR's documentaries are noteworthy. By avoiding a technologically deterministic perspective, a heightened understanding of VR technology's role in journalism from non-Western environments could enhance civic participation and encourage reevaluating emerging media practices in the Global South.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractCultural Representations of Gender Vulnerability and Resistance: A Mediterranean Approach to the Anglosphere aims to fill a gap within Literary and Cultural Studies by undertaking the analysis of concepts such as vulnerability, resilience, precarity and resistance in a wide range of cultural texts written in English and published or circulated in the last two decades across a wide geography encompassing India, Ireland, Canada, the USA and the UK: memoirs and testimonies, films, TV series, crime fiction and literary fiction. Thus, the collection provides a rich array of cultural case studies to explore gender vulnerability in a transnational framework, in turn providing fresh insights into vulnerability itself as a “travelling theory,” following Edward Said’s formulation (The World, the Text, the Critic, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1983).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Arundhati Roy, the world-renowned novelist and political essayist from India, is a dominant voice against injustice perpetrated against the marginalized in the country. For her, the marginalization of women is part of a process through which social oppression is unleashed upon the weak. Roy got the prestigious Booker prize for her debut novel, The God of Small Things. The fiction brought out the unjust politics of caste and gender discrimination inherent in an orthodox society. However, after her first fiction, Roy shifted gear to non-fictions that she continued to write for almost two decades. Roy got engaged in more serious political debates and became a powerful critic of corporate globalization. In 2017, Roy published her second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. In it, Roy offered a journalistic review of all the sociopolitical events of the post-Independent India. This chapter examines that the women protagonists in Roy's fictions extend solidarity to others who are in the margins because, according to Roy, feminism should be a powerful force against oppression in general.

Texte intégralRésumé :
India's revolutionary writer of the 20th century, Mulk Raj Anand, altered the way people wrote and thought about Indian fiction. Prior to him, novelists who had created fiction tended to focus on the idealized and romantic aspects of life. The problems in society were less in number. The field of fiction writing underwent a transformation thanks to the writing of Mulk Raj Anand. For the benefit of the underprivileged and untouchables, he penned the novels. Through his works, he addressed problems such as casteism, capitalism, feudalism, colonialism, and imperialism. He confronts one of the main social ills in Indian society—a stain on Indian society, culture, and legacy that has colonised 85% of the population—in Untouchable, a topic that has gone unaddressed by other authors. The Indian people's inventiveness has suffered because of this sensibility. Untouchability and casteism are stains on humanity's good name. Anand appears to be standing up for the untouchables' and oppressed peoples' rights to justice, equality, and freedom. In colonial and post-independence India, he worked to advance basic human rights and needs. Among all essential rights, he believed that respect for human dignity was the most important. The main character, Bakha, harboured grudges but suppressed them out of caste-related dread. Every untouchable person in India is symbolised by the Hindu god Bakha.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This chapter examines an emergent strand in Malayalam fiction that engages inadequately acknowledged dimensions of Kerala’s social history, especially linked to depressed caste communities and the practices of slavery and forced migration. The novels and short fiction of Raju K. Vasu (b. 1959), P. F. Mathews (b. 1960), Pradeepan Pampirikkunnu (1969–2016), Johny Miranda (b. 1968), and Vinoy Thomas (b. 1975), and the earlier short fiction of C. Ayyappan (1949–2011), are prominent examples of this impulse. These writers, from Dalit, Anglo-Indian, and Luso-Indian communities, move away from social realist and modernist styles in Malayalam writing to develop new fictional imaginaries that mix fantasy and historical recall to offer a deep and conflicted engagement with contemporary Kerala. The afterlife of dead ancestors, who were victims of caste and gender oppression, shapes the fictional world, either immobilizing the present in the tight grip of haunting or serving as a resource for the new generation’s refusal of a normalizing modernity. Spirits, curses, and benedictions appear as crucial tropes, either against the background of lower-caste conversions to Christianity—in the 16th century under Dutch and Portuguese dominance and in the 19th and 20th centuries by British and European Protestant missionaries—or through the ritual invocation of ancestors by Dalit communities in Kerala. The chapter argues that these narratives may be seen as an important fictional response to Kerala’s history, its encounter with modernity, and the silences that accompany its self-perception as a progressive, enlightened, and liberal society.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter analyzes the contradictory regional class and caste politics of large-scale land investments in Maharashtra, India, focusing on the conversion of peri-urban agricultural land into urban real estate. The chapter uses the case of the Khed special economic zones (SEZ) to explore these contradictions and unexpected twists in Maharashtra's land commodification tale. Whereas dominant agrarian castes long-invested in commodity agricultural production and with the deepest ties to urban capital vociferously protested land acquisition for the formation of a special economic zone, Adivasi “tribals” along with Dalit groups historically dependent on “waste” lands embraced forced land acquisition. It shows how historic narratives of waste that twin expectations about poor land quality to presumptions of wasteland occupants' social backwardness were leveraged by lower-class and -caste groups to portray land expropriation as a means of pursuing a place in the urban economy. Ultimately, the chapter highlights how fictions of waste that previously excluded the most socially subordinated groups from crop capitalism became an instrument of urban inclusion.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This chapter examines the fictional universes of six women writers—two of them, Kruthika and Rajam Krishnan, are from the Brahmin communities of Tamil Nadu, while the rest, Hepsibai Jesudasan, Visalakshi, Tamizhselvi, and Sivakami, belong to what are today designated as backward and forward non-Brahmin castes and as Dalits. All writers engage with the “modern” moment in history, which interrupts the time and space of various social worlds in intersecting ways: through conversion to Christianity, a rejection of untouchability and caste, higher education, nationalism, progressive political and social movements, companionate marriage, and labor migration. Read together, these works of fiction constitute a complex archive of the “feminine” in modern Tamil Nadu, one that allows us to unpack the entangled realities of nation, caste, and family, especially their gendered and affective dimensions. This chapter points to the knowledge encoded in these lifeworlds, and equally to what cannot be—may not be—represented or narrated, except as a careless aside or uneasy afterthought. It suggests that these moments of narrative impasse have to do with caste and the manner it eludes representation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Much before academic concerns, caste and women’s position in it emerged in India in the second half of the nineteenth century in anti-caste struggles. Phule, Periyar, Iyothee Thass, and Ambedkar, in their scathing attack on the privileged social order, imagined caste and gender discriminations as closely related phenomena. Until the 1980s, however, the feminist movements and kinship and gender literature in social anthropology failed to incorporate and foreground dalit women’s experiences in their concerns and analysis. The articulations of the complex and multiple marginalities of dalit women within Brahminical and dalit patriarchies and exploitative capitalist structures were made possible through the formation of dalit women’s organizations in the 1990s. The assertions of dalit women during the 1990s surfaced through their writings, including autobiographies, fictions, historical accounts, and poetry. Filled with the memorialization of the “untouchable” past, stigma, dispossession, back-breaking work, and violence, these literary sensibilities expose, satirize and critically reflect on upper caste customs as well as domination by their own (dalit) men. The concluding part of the chapter reflects on the issue of caste within sexuality movements in contemporary India.
