COMPARATIVE LITERATURE IN INDIA- Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta.pdfDhruvita1
The concept of comparative literature in India received an impetus from Rabindranath Tagore's lecture delivered on the subject when he was invited by National Council of Education in 1907.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

0.5. Conclusions
4. ● Translation being looked something shaped Indian modernity. In the language
of Bengali, Malayalam and Marathi how modernity comes through the
Translation.
● This article examines the role played by translation in shaping a modernist
poetic sensibility in some of the major literary traditions of India in the
twentieth century, between 1950 and 1970.
● The chapter will study examples from Bengali, Malayalam and Marathi, to
understand how such translation of modern Western poets were used to
breach the hegemony of prevailing literary sensibilities and poetics modes.
● Many Indian poets such as Buddhadeb Bose, Agyeya,Gopalakrishna Adiga,
Dilip Chitre and Ayyappa Paniker were also translators.
● Translation from Africa and Latin America poetry played a significant role in
this phase of modernism. Neruda and Parra were widely translated into India
languages during this phase.
5. ● In this context, translation enacted a critical act of evaluation, a creative act of
intervention, and performative act of legitimation,in evolving a new poetic
during the modernist phase of Indian poetry.
● The term ‘translation ‘ to suggest a range of cultural practices, from critical
commentary to creation of intertextual text.
● Andre Lefevere’s concept of translation as reflections/ rewriting , the chapter
argues that ‘rewritings’ and ‘reflections’ found in the ‘less obvious form of
criticism…,commentary, historiography , teaching, the collection of works in
anthologies, the production of playshare also instance of translation.
● An essay on T.S. Eliot in Bengali by Sudhindranayh Dutt, or scathing critique in
Malayalam on the poetic practices of Vallathol Narayana Menon by Ayyappa
Paniker, can also described as ‘ translational’ writing as they have elements of
translation embedded in them.
6. Key Points
● Translation.
● ‘rewritings’ or ‘refractions’.
● Modernity and Modernism.
● Project of Modernity in India.
● Literary/ artistic movement.
● The postcolonial phase.
● The reception of Western
modernist discourses in
India.
● The Metaphor of mice
● The human and the mechanical/
artificial intermingle in the
subsequent lines suggesting a
loss of the human in the urban
landscape.
● Context points between est and
west and modernity.
● Translation enacted a critical
act.
● Mythical characters.
● Figure of Gandhi.
● Indigenous roots/ routes.
● The public world conflicts.
● The surreal Image.
7. Key Arguments
● How are we to evaluate the modernisms that emerged in the
postcolonial phase in India? Critics such as Simon Gikandi,Susan
Friedman, Laura Doyle and Laura Winkiel, and Aparna Dharwadker
have argued that Non-Western modernism are not mere derivate
versions of European hegemonic practice.
● R. Sasidhar writes,
● If European modernism was drawn between the euphoric and the
reactive, in Kannada the precipitate modernism was drawn between.
the Brahminical and the non-Brahminical. Just as the euphoric and
the reactive modernisms were part of the internal dynamics of
modernism itself, so also the Brahmanical and the non-Brahmanical
modernisms in Kannada were part and parcel of a modernism that
came as a reaction to the Nehruvian environment. (in Satchidanandan
2001, 34).
8. Continue…..
● One of the recurring themes in Sudhindranath Dutta's
critical essays is the primacy of the word. In 'The
Necessity of Poetry', he argues that the persistence of
poetry through the ages in all societies, particularly
among the unsophisticated and the primitive, attest to its
necessity (Chaudhuri 2008, 3).
● Mardhekar urged Malayalam poets to reject prosody in
favour of rhythmic free verse. In a scathing attack on
Vallathol Narayana Menon, a canonical figure of
Malayalam Romantic poetry, Paniker brought out
Vallathol's lack of intellectual rigour, his dubious political
attitudes and adherence to wornout idioms and stale
diction.

10. About Book
● Indigenous Imaginaries argues for a redefinition of humanities
from a comparative perspective anchored in the regional literary
traditions of India. These indigenous traditions have negotiated
hegemonic structures of power over centuries through creative
engagements with differences and dogmas.
● The central argument here concerns the need to reconfigure
epistemologies that do not accommodate the compulsions of
creativity and critical reflection in a multilingual society.
Translation functions throughout this volume as the telos of a
dialogic, interdisciplinary mode of cognition that questions the
exclusivist claims of Euro-centric formulations of the literary.
11. Continue…..
● It argues that the act of reading becomes an act of
recovery when prescriptive protocols and absolutist
dictums are subverted through an intimate
involvement with the subliminal, the unwritten and
the inarticulate embedded in literary texts. The book
analyses the moral imaginaries that animate the
works of Rabindranath Tagore, Vaikom Muhammad
Basheer, Mahasweta Devi, Amitav Ghosh,
Bhalchandra Nemade, Anand, M. Mukundan, N. S.
Madhavan, Agha Shahid Ali and Jean Arasanayagam
as evidences of revisionist ways of radical rethinking
that can propel us in the direction of an
interdisciplinary domain of comparative humanities.
12. Conclusion
● Thus, language became, for the modernists, the
only reality that they could relate to. Their moment
of recognition. enabled by the discourses of
'Western' modernism, was postcolonial in its
essence. The self-reflexive mo(ve)ment was also
made possible by the carrying across of not
content or form, but an interior mode of being that
questioned the prevailing limits of freedom.
