Abstract:

The article is to trace the heritage of Tamil and Assamese drama earliest times to present. The sub-genre of different periods is also discussed herewith. Earliest record of Tamil drama is available during Sangam period. In Assamese it is mentioned in the Sankaradev period. Sankardeva the father of Assamese literature and society maker had a great contribution to Assamese drama. ‘Chihno Jatra’ was the first drama of Assamese literature. To speed up his ‘Ek Saran’ religion he wrote many dramas as an instrument of it and his followers also followed him. In the end of the nineteenth century Tamil and Assamese drama underwent a change after its contact with western literature. Hence the Tamil drama can be divided into four periods. (1) Tolkappiyam to 16th century, (2) drama in the 17th,18th century, (3) 19th century, and (4) 20th century. Assamese drama can be classified as (1) Vaisavate period, (2) Ahom period, (3) modern period. Many authors wrote ancient, historical and modern dramas in both languages. All those dramas are taken as the very great wealth of Tamil and Assamese literature.

Abstract:

In Assam, Lakshminath Bezbaruah is referred to as Sahityarathi. He was a well-known Assamese literary author. His literary works include novels, short stories, poems, articles, romantic belles letters, plays, editing of Jonaki magazine, and more. The author of Jonaki, who starts the volume of current Assamese literature, is Laxminath Bezbaruah. At this time, Chandra Kumar Agarwala led the introduction of the well-known Assamese monthly Jonaki. For at least fifty years, his works dominated the Assamese literary scene. Throughout his life, Bezbarua dedicated himself to bringing Assamese literature's once-lost brilliance back to life in all genres. Back then, Assamese was not included in the state's curriculum or upper education courses. His goal was to popularize Assamese literature across India, not only in the state of Assam. Bezbarua wrote and created art with the intention of advancing Assamese society overall.

Abstract:

Folk literature has come to be identified as one of the priceless resources of an indigenous community. Folk literature is an important carrier of culture, heritage and tradition of a particular cultural or linguistic community. In this context, Assamese „Biyanaam‟ are one type of Folk literature which falls into this mentioned description. The biyanam presented during such ceremonies reflect the socio-cultural life of the Assamese community. This trend showcases the myths, outfits, jewellery, food habits, the cultural ethos etc. This folk songs are called ‘Biyanaam’ (Marriage songs) as they are sung or played only on occasions of marriage ceremony. Rather it is the reflection of collective emotions as well as collective consciousness of Assamese people surfacing as or in the form of oral literature. It transforms and travels along with the changing currents of time. The „biyanaam‟ or “wedding songs” sung in a traditional Assamese wedding ceremony is an integral part of Assamese culture. An Assamese wedding household is practically incomplete without these wedding songs that are sung throughout various ceremonies by the ladies present there.

Abstract:

The essay attempts to explore some possibilities of Comparative Literary History with respect to Assamese literature. Writing a literary history is a complex business, and the tenets underlying its conceptualisation and execution have often been determined by factors other than purely ‘literary’ ones. In the essay, the conceptual dimensions of literary historiography are examined in relation to its recently developed nexus with comparative literature and cultural studies. Within this theoretical framework, the essay briefly touches upon the development of literary historiography within the Indian context in the precolonial, colonial and postcolonial periods, and subsequently moves on to discuss its position vis-a-vis Assamese literature, particularly in the latter’s institutionalisation as a subject for graduate and postgraduate study under Gauhati University, Assam, in the post-Independence period. The essay deals specifically with the efforts of Professor Satyendranath Sarma, prominent academician and literary historian of Assam, towards the academic study of Assamese literary history. It explores the possibilities of comparative literary history in Assamese—one that is not based on a linear narrative of succeeding generations of poets and writers recorded and documented under a progressive model of impact and response, but rather a history of literary reception with many complex and multidimensional narratives often at loggerheads with each other.Key words: Literary Historiography, Comparative Literature, Comparative Cultural Studies, Indian Literature, Assamese Literature, Satyendranath Sarma

Abstract:

The Bhakti movement popularly known in Assam is called Neo-Vaiṣṇavite movement, commenced by Śaṅkaradeva the great Vaiṣṇava saint and social reformer of Assam. The ideas, cultural contribution and philosophy of Srimanta Sankardeva became an integral part of the Assamese people. Sankaradeva was a multifaceted genius who gave a direction to the chaotic Assamese society by initiating a fresh approach to the existing Vaishnava religion that gave rise to a set of new values and aided in social synthesis. Vaishnavism has been constantly playing a significant role in the process of assimilating diverse elements- indigenous and non-indigenous into the Assamese culture. The Satra institution was the product of Neo-Vaishnavite movement which has played a vital role in Assamese society to spread communal harmony and brotherhood. Thus, Sri Sankardeva brought about a revolutionary change in Assamese society. Neo-Vaishnavism of Srimanta Sankaradeva became a powerful mechanism, and a cementing force in the process of acculturation of the different social groups. This paper is an attempt to study about the Neo-Vaishnavite movement as a great socio-cultural revolution in Assam and its impacts on the social life of the people of Assam.

Abstract:

In the history of literature, Poetry has made its appearance before any other literary genres. Since its inception, the genre of poetry has undergone several changes in different ages due to the literary movements, social, cultural and political changes that had taken place worldwide. Modernism, an international literary and cultural movement which flourished in the first decade of the 20th century have brought a new era in the history of Poetry. This literary movement has influenced not only Western poetry but also Indian regional poetry like Assamese poetry to a great extent. Thus, a new trend in Assamese poetry heralded during the fourth decade of the 20th century which draws upon the emptiness, hypocrisies, alienation, insignificance and hopelessness that lies concealed in the modern civilization. A group of new poets of Assam with their wide range of studies of the East and the West, of the ancient and the modern contribute to the foundation of Modern Assamese Poetry. Of them, one important name in the upsurge of Modern Assamese Poetry was Navakanta Barua (1926-2002) who is regarded to be the pioneer of Modern Assamese Poetry. His immense popularity as an author led to the translation of many of his poems into different Indian languages and English. The present paper discusses the modern perspectives of some of his select poems that have been translated into English. Thus, a study of these select poems will help us to understand the perspectives of Navakanta Barua as a modern Assamese poet.

Abstract:

The state of Assam in India is the home to the people who speak Assamese, an Indo-Aryan language. Assamese is the native tongue of the people of Assam and the official language of the state of Assam. Based on linguistic standards and conventions, Assamese is a vital language for writing. However, when we attempt to see the language from the viewpoint of native speakers' attitudes towards the language, we find that the language is steadily deteriorating among the linguistic community. This deterioration is caused by Linguistic Imperialism. Linguistic Imperialism is a phenomenon in which a dominant language attempts to weaken other languages both socially and politically and in a theoretically founded way. The impact of the dominance is increasing day by day due to which a negative attitude has increased significantly among the native speakers of Assamese who considers English as superior to their mother tongue. Negative attitude is one of the reasons of language endangerment and we cannot deny the possibility of endangerment of the Assamese language in the far future if the dominance of English goes on increasing. History is evident that languages with a huge literature and population got extinct because of the reasons like negative attitude, dominance of other languages, decreasing rate of fluent native speakers, examples of such languages are Sanskrit, Hebrew, etc. This paper tries to analyse the negative attitude which is gradually increasing in the Assamese language and ways to strengthen it by reverting the dominance of Linguistic Imperialism by languages like English and Hindi.

Abstract:

Women characters playing a very important role from the very beginning of origin and development of oral literature to present day modern literature background in Bengali literature. Many authors give specific importance to women in their works. This paper is going to discuss about immemorable and of utmost talent, author Sharatchandra Chattopadhay of Bengali literature in one hand and famous author, Saiyad Abdul Mallik of Assamese literature on the other hand. a) “Paripurna Manusatta Satityer Chaye Baro” (Fulfilled humanity is greater than virginity) b) “Satitya ke Ami Tuchcho Boline,Kintu Akai Tar Nari-Jiboner Charam o Param Prayo Gyan Korakeo Kusanskar Mone Kori” (I don’t ask virginity as a minor thing, but think it as a superstition to accept that virginity as the extreme quality of woman life) Thus, two features of Sharatchandra’s female characters are well expressed throughout his novels-one is their insulted,harrassed and humiliated picture and another one is created out of their own self-their own personality, expression of their womanhood. Thus the universal female character of both Saiyad Abdul Mallik and sharad Chandra Chttapadhay are not only the expression of their dream but they seem original characters of real life society. They are the creation and inhabitants of this society only.

Abstract:

Abstract Assamese fiction written by janajatiya writers (writers from indigenous, “tribal” communities) can be read productively via a deployment of various standpoints from the “nonhuman turn.” This chapter reads the triangulation of three nonhuman entities—bamboo, rats, and fire—in Arunachali author Yeshe Dorje Thongchi’s short story “Baah Phulor Gundho” (“The Smell of Bamboo Blossoms”). While stories by janajatiya writers such as Thongchi are usually read via “tradition” versus “modernity” and social reform perspectives, this chapter argues that nonhuman entities play a vitalist and agential role in their fictional universes. Thongchi’s short story demonstrates this through a unique event that occurs in Northeast India—the periodic flowering of bamboo that leads to an exponential increase in rat populations—which becomes the fulcrum for an exploration of social change and the passage of time in the lifeworlds of the Nyishi tribespeople in Arunachal Pradesh.
