ABSTRACT

Sircar is the leader of theatre -world in the true sense since he calls upon people to go hand in hand to discuss the current issues, to write a script, to make an ample use of human body as the most effective tool in presentation, to have a rigorous training and practice too, and finally to perform a play without the expectation of monetary gain. He is a playwright, director, theorist, teacher, mentor, and social activist having “visions and re-visions”.  The beacon, he shown, changed the theatre-goers’ conventional sensibility of perceiving a play. Though his plays are rooted in the specific language and location, they have varied invisible hues. If one delves deep into the core of the play, one gets exposed to his cosmopolitan discernment and concern for humanity. His theatre imparts a new dimension and vision to the writers, directors, performers, and spectators across the globe. It renders them thought-provoking towards the complex issues that remain unsettled even in the contemporary society. In the plays of the Third Theatre phase, Sircar has utilized the modern techniques such as simultaneity, montage and multi-focus to forge a contemporary artistic medium. This attempt helps him to mark a sharp break with the contemporary Bengali theatre that is obsessed with the style of presentation prevalent in the Victorian theatre of England and to raise it to a new height of artistry unknown to it.

ABSTRACT

Storm in Chandigarh (1969), the third novel of Nayantara Sahgal, is a factual political novel. It juxtaposes socio-political developments in Chandigarh, the common capital of the two north Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. It deals with the distressing conditions which have set in Chandigarh in the wake of the bifurcation of the state of Punjab into two states based on linguistic lines. The violence thus erupted in the city of Chandigarh receives the central focus in the novel. Mrs. Sahgal dexterously handles the political crisis in Chandigarh alongside the crisis in the lives of the major characters in the novel. As the title suggests the novel is woven round the political friction and the resultant fighting in Chandigarh. It also deals with the conflict between tradition and modernity. The novel stands as a metaphor for the storm in the political and social spheres of the city. The storm in the political echelons is due to division of the erstwhile Punjab, whereas the tensions in the private lives is owing to the disaster in the marital relations of some couples in the novel.

ABSTRACT

The main aim of education is to develop a well-conversant, competent, progressed and responsible Indian citizen. Education in Army schools needs a overhauling as there are many deficiencies in the system. Frequent movements from cities to towns and vice versa have created many barriers in the teaching -learning and language acquisition process. Education should result in development of the personality of an individual and equip him/her to survive and succeed in the competitive society today.

ABSTRACT

The character of Buddha sketched by Dr. Ambedkar  reveals literary  consciousness while carving his character. The simple but a language full of various literary devices leads to a poetic language.  Dr. Ambedkar never wrote poetry but he has lived an epic life. There are many sentences and paragraphs in BHD which are not less than a poetry.There is   a rhythm in his logic. He has had to use a simple at the same time a dignified language suitable to the theme. There is another issue to choose a suitable language for the Buddha and other common characters.It must have been a difficult task for a highly qualified of Western influence like Dr.Ambedkar. But for the sake of his commitment Dr. Ambedkar  uses simple language.Simple delivery of dialogue. If there is any ambiguity, it is not due to language. It is due to subject matter. At the same time, he is aware of the literary requirement of the theme.

Key Words: Buddha and His Dhamma, encomium,

ABSTRACT

In the contemporary post modern era, authors are writing about lesser known characters of mythology in an attempt to give different dimension to the subject. Rukmini’s character has not been written much, except the fact that she took a bold decision to marry Krishna and acted against the patriarchal forces of the time. The wheel of mythology moves on variegated spokes and   the need to retell mythology from feminist point of view has gathered ground. Feminist revisionist mythology engages the subject of feminist revision of the myth, language and spirituality.  The novel weaves a touching persona of strong willed queen of Krishna, who stood her ground and maintained her charismatic demeanor with fortitude and resilience during the testing times. The paper is an attempt to unravel the character of the protagonist as woven by Saiswaroopa Iyer. The novel is analytically studied and interpretively explored through feminist view point which answers the context of female power and fortitude. 

Key words: Mythology, feminist, fortitude, resilience, patriarchal.
