In 1979 Mahasweta Devi had written and published a short story collection in Bengali language. Later, the short story collection had been translated into English by Ipsita Chanda and published in 1998 under the title of Bitter Soil. This paper studies two short stories from this collection of translation, which entitled as Little Ones and Salt respectively. Mahasweta Devi made tremendous contribution to literary, social and cultural studies in this country and she always believed that the real history is made by the ordinary people as she is also a political activist.

In academic discourse, the coming together of the birth of the novel, the concept of history and the idea of the nation-state under the sign of the modern has led to a collective blindness toward the forceful intervention of poetry and song in imagining the nation.

Abstract In India, where around 19,500 dialects are spoken, there is a great abundance of fiction quite rich in varied descriptions of old age and aging. While scholars like Pramod K. Nayar and Ira Raja have recently begun studying Indian literary texts written in English from the perspective of literary gerontology, those literary experiences of aging (which are originally in languages like Bengali, Tamil, Hindi, Oriya, etc.) are yet to be analyzed from a gerontological point of view. The present paper aims at studying the experiences of old age in two Indian short stories (one from Bengali L

Abstract:
Endogamy is an age- old compulsory condition for Brahminic India, as prescribed by Hindu scriptures, to maintain the purity of caste. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar thus advocates inter- caste marriage as the practical panacea to eradicate traditional caste stratification in Indian society. Though exogamy has been legitimised under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, still assimilation of caste through marriage remains a taboo in most part of India even in this twenty first century. Therefore, union outside caste are unlikely to get parental consent and turn to be revolutionary love stories. However, not all

The Dalit refugee accounts contribute a significant lot to the constructing cartographies of history. The article focuses on the representation of Dalit refugees in the anthology Stories of

Abstract:
This article considers traumatic representations of violence in the stories of the Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi that do not readily fit into trauma studies discourses which emphasise the aporia and unspeakability of trauma. Instead, the protagonists of these stories gesture towards defiance and agency in the face of trauma, thereby calling for justice and social change. Such portrayals offer us opportunities to decolonize cultural trauma theory by focusing on the unexpected arising of agency and empowerment from victims of gendered violence.

Narayan Gangopadhyay's literary works were profoundly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of the 1940s, particularly the Quit India Movement and the Bengal Famine of 1943. His stories depict the grim reality of famine-stricken Bengal, highlighting the exploitation and suffering of the common people. Gangopadhyay's storytelling, rich in descriptive skill and humanistic values, brings to life the struggles and resilience of his characters. His first story, "Pashapashi," contrasts the lives of a wealthy family and a poor family, reflecting societal disparities. His collection "Bitangsha"

Partition of India in 1947 has been one of the major events in the history of South Asia that has played a crucial role in shaping the three nations of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A number of narratives on the background of partition have given rise to the sub-genre of partition narratives in which the authors reflect and reconstruct the pain, suffering, loss and alternative histories of the events of partition. The authors, in their effort, give a voice to the victims and critique the political players. Partition in the Bengal and Assam border is represented in a number of writings. In th

This event led to the formation of two nation-states (India and East Pakistan) out of a single cultural geography and the drawing of boundaries (Radcliffe line) disrupted the emotional, cultural and spatial link of the people with the native countries.

Indeed, it was not until she began writing in Italian that she became a translator. At the same time, the new language revealed her former bilingualism (English–Bengali). I analyse how Lahiri positions herself as a multilingual poet/translator and how she is positioned through paratexts.&#x0D; Nihkuv mitmekeelsus: Jhumpa Lahiri kasv (mit

This article searches for Tagore’s political thought by an analysis of his songs. Existing literature has largely focussed on Tagore’s novels, letters, poems and short stories to understand his political vision. In this article, I argue that in tandem with his literary compositions, Tagore’s musical creations also have the potential to shed much light on his political thought. A keen observer of social upheavals, Tagore aimed to resolve the specific problems which were paralysing the Bengal of his times. So emerged his songs promoting Hindu–Muslim unity, India’s composite culture and spiritual
