Indian Writing in English

Translation is the upholding of the core and impact of the original message that allows for a more effective conveyance of ideas across different languages and cultures by integrating cultural nuances and adjusting the language to appeal to the intended reader. That is why it is a highly creative field that requires the translator to transform the original text into the desired text while maintaining the same sentiments and emotions without altering the content. The translation is not only converting from one language to another and not just swapping words. The translator must have the depth of language skills to express ideas creatively in the target language to meet the readers' needs and motivate them effectively. Hence, the translation process involves linguistic proficiency, cultural comprehension, and creativity to ensure the message connects with the intended readers. Combining language expertise with cultural sensitivity and transcreation will help to make the literary translation more effective, readable, and understandable per the readers' expectations. Nowadays, machine translation is highly effective; it primarily conveys literal meaning rather than capturing emotions, tone, and nuances, which is crucial in prose, poetry, novels, and advertisements. Transcreation can accelerate this gap with creative adaptation, ensuring the accurate delivery of emotionally resonant messages. Hence, this process goes beyond mere words to encapsulate the essence of the source text and can convey it in a manner that profoundly resonates with the intended readers.

Most of the poems which I have included and incorporated in are the poems which I used to submit on Poem Hunter.Com, Linkedin and All Poetry.Com websites and these have been culled casually as for to file up and that these have been written of late. Here Linkedin is the prominent one and as for that my thanks to them, their administrators and those in the management and the maintenance of the sites. The poems uploaded and posted on websites are here for your perusal, a few of them for your ready reference. Many of these have been written during the Durga Puja and I felt it to specify poetically Mahashasthi, Mahasaptami, Mahashtami, Mananavami and Dussehra along with Navaratri celebrations in which Maharashtra, Gujarat and others hung it heavy upon together with Karwa Chauth, Dandiya Raas, Garbi Dance, Dahi Handi and so on from time to time which I have uploaded and posted consequently to commemorate and feel it personally and those form the crux of the matter, the content of it. I have culled them without thinking about the title. After feeling the needed of the hour and fearing to lose them, I have been included in it and I have named it flippantly with a desire to know if anyone would read and like them which I have put for reading. A few of the poems are on Keki N.Daruwalla in the form of reminiscence and obituary which I have penned down as a reader, a critic or as for correspondences with him in the past. A few are on Ratan Tata and his passing away. One or two poems are on Jayanta Mahapatra. Now he is no more, I think it, what he for? What did he write it new? From whom did he learn poetry? How his legacy and poetic heritage? Is it that he was a Christian, an Oriya Christian? Is it that he read in a Christian school? While reading or taking to literature, he would have definitely read Wordsworth, Keats and so on. After his education, he went to do his M.Sc. from Patna Univ. Later in his life he joined Ravenshaw College, Cuttack as teacher in physics.

Indian writing in English is fast growing in the hands of notable writers both from India and living outside India. Their major focus is on the issues connected with socio-political situations that take place in the contemporary world. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is one among them who has addressed most of such social issues and she is a specialist in portraying gender discrimination. Addressing gender discrimination is a must focus issue for, the Indian society is filled with such discriminations due to the impacts of religion and culture. By writing on gender discrimination Divakaruni is assembling much efforts to educate the society against such evils and she is teaches women, through her strong willed women characters, on how to face them. This paper attempts to trace out the gender discrimination issues portrayed in the novels of Divakaruni.

In the era of globalization, Professionalism is sought everywhere. Anyone who utters the term Professionalism cannot miss Soft Skills which are embedded into it. For to be a good professional one has to be a master of Soft Skills. There are many who mistake Professionalism for how one performs in his/her profession and communication skills for employability skills. In short, Professionalism is not defined by the position held by someone. It encompasses many qualities such as the inner character, what individuals do: behavior exhibited and how others perceive the individual. This paper makes an attempt in explaining the hidden qualities of the term Professionalism and Soft skills, and the importance of teaching them to the students.

NARAYAN SWAMISM of Gujarat provides the religious foundation to the Indian PM and his favourite home minister, Amit Shah.

This article examines the pervasive themes of isolation and loneliness in Anita Nair's novels The Better Man and Mistress. Through her nuanced portrayals of characters struggling with these emotions, Nair delves into the complexities of the human condition within the socio-cultural context of Indian society. The central thesis argues that isolation and loneliness are not only central to the characters’ experiences but also serve as a lens through which Nair critiques societal expectations and the pressures that contribute to the characters' sense of alienation. This article will analyze both the physical and emotional aspects of isolation and loneliness, how these themes shape the characters' interactions, and their impact on personal growth and identity formation.

Blood and fog are over half the town and curfew stamps across the empty street.-Keki N. Daruwalla in the poem, Curfew in a Riot-torn City (Under Orion, Indus, Delhi,1991, Revised Edition, p.13) And every year the Ghaghra changes course turning over and over in her sleep.

Manju Kapur, in her novels, has brought out the awesome concepts of love to each other in the family. Unfortunately, this is strained, when woman is treated as 'Other'. This word only implies subjugation of woman. As a result, the protagonist of Manju Kapur becomes nervous nellie. The study of her novels also proves that patriarchal dominance makes the protagonist skin crawling. Probably, Manju Kapur's men get swollen head. So, she blows the whistle to woman that they have every right to express their feelings by dishing it out in order to be a real dish.

This paper probes into the theory penned by Walter Benjamin in “The Storyteller,” that the rise of the novel at the beginning of modern times, marks the decline of storytelling and that it “neither comes from oral tradition nor goes into it” (Lodge 14). Benjamin also doubts the art of storytelling among people. This paper dismantles Benjamin’s claim by showing the strong link between oral tradition and the novel, analyzing Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide, The Shadow Lines, Sea of Poppies, River of Smoke, and In an Antique Land. Furthermore, I will apply Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, heteroglossia, and the ancient Indian philosophy of rasa to establish the connections among oral tradition, storytelling, storyteller, and language. By establishing these connections, this paper aims to demonstrate how storytelling gives rise to distinct vernacular, which performs a living counter-history resulting from the multiplicity of overlapping associations of displacement. This paper highlights Ghosh’s concern with the movements of the marginalized− lascars, “girmitia,” boatmen, and housewives−so far figured as absent from the histories of nations, and who emerge as storytellers in his novels. Overall, the paper argues that storytelling technique can create an atmosphere for carnival in novels.

Indian mythology the Ramayana and the Mahabharata are the
most celebrated epics, which were written to create moral ideals for
future generations to follow and emulate. For ages, these myths have
been accepted entirely and unquestionably as they are and have been an
integral part of our being from time immemorial. However, the 21st
century has witnessed a surge of publications of epics with alternative
perspectives. Pratibha Ray’s Yajnaseni: The Story of Draupadi, Kavita
Kane’s Lanka’s Princess, Volga’s The Liberation of Sita, Chitra Banerjee
Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions, Manini J. Anandani’s Mandodari:
The Queen of Lanka, etc. are just a few to name. These re-writings,
from various perspectives, endeavour to provide space to the hitherto
unheard mythical characters in the grand narratives. Such re-writings also
open up room for other possibilities in response to our roots, culture,
mythology and many other potential realities. The present paper aims to
analyse Poile Sengupta’s Thus Spake Shoorpanakha, So Said Shakuni,
which is an alternative reading of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Sengupta, in her play, attempts to bring forth the story and voice of two
despicable villains of Indian mythology- Shoorpanakha from the Ramayana
and Shakuni from the Mahabharata, who have been hitherto either
overlooked or colossally misinterpreted in the mainstream narratives.The
paper seeks to scrutinise the derogatory projection of the supposedly
villainous characters in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and how
Sengupta has tried to untangle the prejudices and (mis)perceptions woven around these mythical figures. This is a way of recovering these ‘lost’
voices, which otherwise would always have remained obscure.

The present paper discusses Rabindranath Tagore's drama The King and the Queen, with a special emphasis on Queen Sumitra as a model of female authority. As Tagore's first tragedy, published in 1889, the play dives into the characters' personal and political dynamics and presents a sophisticated story that weaves together themes of love, duty, power, and tradition. The female characters of the play seem to be fighting against the ancient societal restrictions that were created to bind women to the diplomatic perceptions of society under the guise of so-called customs and rituals. Undoubtedly, Tagore's literature, particularly drama, reflects his vision, drawing a comprehensive picture of Indian womanhood that, while not perfect, is surely desirable and close to the heart. However, this study examines Sumitra's character in depth to see how Tagore uses her to question established gender stereotypes and demonstrate the transforming power of female leadership.

This paper examines the nuanced representations of mental health in 20th-century British and Indian English literature, highlighting the intricacies and cultural contexts that shape these portrayals. For this purpose, this paper picks up the following texts for a comparative appraisal— Mrs. Dalloway (1925) by Virginia Woolf, Nineteen Eighty-four (1949) by George Orwell, The English Teacher (1945) by R.K. Narayan, and Cry, the Peacock (1963) by Anita Desai. These novels offer profound insights into the characters' mental state, reflecting the societal attitudes toward mental health in that period. By comparing these texts, the paper sheds light on how mental health is a universal and culturally specific issue, shaped by historical and social factors.
Keywords— Mental health, British literature, Indian English literature, Psychological, Trauma.

Storytelling has been a long standing tradition of nurturing young minds. It is not to be confused with story reading. It involves telling a story from memory without the help of any book or script. Some narrators memorize their stories, characters, events and freely keep changing and evolving them with each telling. "Storytelling is an activity to pass the information from person to person and from one generation to the next generation (McDrury & Alterio, 2003)." Storytelling is simple and practical because stories, which are used as the media, are easily obtained (Wajnryb, 2003). Hence, the use of storytelling as a teaching tool has been conducted in the areas of teacher education, higher education, early childhood education, and nursing education.

A nascent discipline in literary theory and criticism, cultural materialism is the British counterpart of American New Historicism. The term cultural materialism gained currency in the 1980s after the publication of Political Shakespeare in 1985, although its roots lie in the work of British academics of late 1980s and 1970s like Raymond Williams, Simon Hoggart, Stuart Hall and Catherine Belsey, who challenged the traditional approaches to literature. Mulk Raj Anand is one of the prominent voices in the field of Indian Writing in English. Untouchable has attained the status of a classic as it beautifully depicts the trials in the life of the untouchable protagonist Bakha. The novel beautifully depicts how the untouchables are marginalized and dominated through the working of Ideological State Apparatus of Religion. The caste system which has the sanctity of religion makes sure that untouchables remain at the bottom of the pyramid. The upper castes organized themselves as Brahmins, K...

Introduction to the Poetess Kamala Das (1934-2009) was born on 31 March 1934 in southern Malabar in the state of Kerala. She was married at the age of 15 to K. Madhava Das who was employed in the Reserve Bank of India. Before her marriage she was privately educated. Kamala Das apart from publishing some notable collection of poems such as Summer in Calcutta (1965), The Descendants (1967) and The Old Playhouse and Other Poems (1975) has also published her autobiography titled My Story in 1976. She made use of three different names for the purpose of writing: She used Madhavikutty when she wrote in Malayalam, Kamala Das for writing in English and Kamala Suraiya after converting to Islam in 1999. Major themes in Kamala Das's Poetry According to Bruce King, Kamala Das's most significant contribution is her use of Indian English in her poetry, notably the usage of vocabulary and the idioms in her poems which set them apart from the linguistic standards practiced and privileged in the literature produced by the colonizers and thereby setting it free from the colonial baggage and ultimately aiding in the development of national literature as such literature is rooted in rhythms of local speech and the resultant style authentically articulates the writer's feelings and experiences. Kamala Das is a confessional poet and her poetry is celebrated for its directness of expression, sensual images, incorporation of personal and intimate experiences, foregrounding feminine sensibility and rejecting all gendered prohibitions in the face of a patriarchal setup. Kamala Das's poetry explores the true nature of love and once achieved testing the validity of this love against the changing nature of relationships in a given context. In addition to it, she succeeds in according subjectivity and agency to the poetic persona by claiming her right over her body and the desires associated with it. Das's poetry captures the conflicts and negotiations that an individual is confronted with while dealing with socially sanctioned roles and how the individual constantly yearns for escape and freedom from all forms of entrapments form the hallmark of her poetry. She brings to the fore different forms of displacements: cultural, geographical, linguistic and  59/3

The paper discusses how religious fundamentalism interfaces with nationalism in Salman Rushdie's novel "Moor's Last Sigh". In the background of postcolonial India, the narrative explores the socio-political tensions that arise out of the collision of religious dogmatism with nationalistic fervor. Told through a family saga, Rushdie takes on questions of identity and belonging with some of the self-destructive characteristics attached to ideological extremisms. In this rich tapestry of characters and events, there comes a critical reflection regarding the way in which these forces shape, along with occasions of destabilization, modern society. Modern global politics has taken clues from an examination of key themes and motifs in the light of Rushdie's comment on the dangerous consequences of intertwining religious fanaticism with nationalism and its consequences in contemporary global politics.

In Upamanyu Chatterjee's English, August: An Indian Story, the juxtaposition of urban and
rural India is explored through the protagonist, Agastya Sen. This novel delves into the
cultural, social, and psychological contrasts between the bustling life of metropolitan cities
and the slow-paced existence in rural areas. Agastya, an urban youth with Western
inclinations, finds himself posted in a remote village as part of his civil service training. His
experiences highlight the clash of modernity and tradition, the alienation felt by urbanites in
rural settings, and the inherent challenges of India's development dichotomy. This study
examines how Chatterjee uses Agastya's journey to portray the complexities and dualities of
Indian life, providing insights into the nation's diverse cultural landscape and the
transformative impact of urbanization on rural communities, and thereby, foregrounds the
interface of urban and rural India.

In these hard times, when the world is plunged into the nightmare of COVID – 19, it has become important for the research fields, across the globe, to understand its different impacts and future consequences, which are inevitable in the aftermath of the situation. Research, in different fields, has been focussed on understanding the different aspects of epidemic and pandemic to revise the old strategies and frame better ones. With the idea of studying the social aspect of the present pandemic, this paper deals with the idea of ‘community’ and its emergence in such events. Its primary focus is on the ‘local’ truths within the singular nation, which do not equate to the slogan ‘stay happy, stay safe’, when the variables of class and gender are incorporated. The work also provides information to present the case of ‘toxic speech’ that leads to divisive state within this community; whereby majority experiences the community power over minority. It discusses the said binary not in terms ...

This text is both a record of research carried out and a narrative of its unfinished state. The Iranian scholar, Maryam Khozan, worked on the reception of Indian novels in England in the 1930s—in particular, Mulk Raj Anand's Untouchable—with a view to using this material to challenge Bakhtin's theory of the novel.

Some fourteen years ago-a colleague at the University of Copenhagen, Tabish Khair, then little-known as a poet though already a most promising scholar, mentioned that he had been invited to give a reading in London, and would be there the following week. I expressed my congratulations, but realized that my response was somewhat inadequate to the occasion. What sort of reading? was it a book launch? was there a prize attached? Such were my silent speculations. After an awkward pause Khair told me this most astonishing fact: that he had never visited Britain before. I have kept this anecdote in memory, and record it now, because it marks out a particular distinction in Khair's biography. London has long been the place where every Indian writer (in English) aspires to be published; Britain is a place where middle-class Indians have long felt at home. That Khair had been living in Denmark for some years before he ever went to Britain is a deviation from the conventional path that distinguishes him from other Indian writers, and that gives his work an unusual shape, in terms of both theme and audience.

The study aims at the themes of dislocation, space, agency, and identity through the lens of Patriarchy, political, economic, and social cultures. In the novels of Anita Rau Badami, men are represented as minor characters whereas women are seen as the protagonists of the novels. These minor characters play a vital role in encompassing the lives of women and showcasing them as doubly marginalized victims. This study focuses on the representation of men who suffer equally under patriarchy, in the prevailing political, social, and economic conditions. Design/Methodology/Approach: Numerous scholarly books, journals, and theses have been reviewed for the study. To have a thorough understanding of the work that has been done thus far, other studies along similar lines have been carefully examined and reviewed. This research largely depends on the findings from research journals from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Canadian Literature Journal, and Shodhganga for identifying the research gap. Both offline and online studies have been made using internet resources. The interviews and social posts of the author also give much insight into the different aspects of the research question. The literary compositions of the author are the major source of research. The study is conducted using an exploratory textual analytical approach and archival method as a research technique. Finding/Result: After reading and analyzing the available materials on the study's chosen topic, it was discovered that Anita Rau Badami's novels frequently address the themes of dispersion, space, agency, and loss of identity for all the characters. This author has addressed these topics overtly or as an underlying theme in her writings. Since the planned study focuses mostly on the dispersion of men who are minor characters in the novel, it will be unique. In the process of forming identity, it also emphasizes space and agency. Communities and individuals are both included and excluded by space. Aspects of identity development in the postcolonial context are clarified by

A man is fundamentally a thinker, a philosopher and probably a scholar in whatever status of life his is. The feelings and ideas offer an opportunity to delve deep into those areas of intellectual province that hitherto appear mysterious or more appropriately called unknown to avoid the casing of mystery that philosophy carries sans negative perspectives regarding life and existence.

The article critically examines poet R.K.Singh's two books, Against the Waves: Selected Poems (2021) and Knocking Vistas And Other Poems (2024), highlighting the  characteristic form and technique and unconventional cache of metaphors and symbols that celebrate the enduring vitality of human tenacity.
