Abstract:
This paper focuses on how world literature played a crucial role in shaping a sub-national Gujarati identity. Narsinhrao Divatia (1859-1937) – the well-known Gujarati poet, critic and linguist presented partial or complete translations of British Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley and Byron from the fourth part of F.T. Palgrave’s Golden Treasury (1861) in his seminal poetry anthology Kusummala (1887). This translation played a significant role in redefining Gujarati poetics and Gujarati identity. It also elevated the cultural status of Gujarati literature by introducing Sanskrit poetics in the Gujarati translations. However, in the Gujarati literary tradition, Divatia’s translations of the British Romantic poets are treated as ‘nakal’ (copy) and derivative of Western poetry. This paper argues that the Gujarati translations of the British Romantic poets in Kusummala (1887) cannot be dismissed as cheap copies, but have to be read as refractions, a kind of rewriting elaborated by André Lefevre. Kusummala is an example of an interliterary text where Gujarati translations of the British Romantic poets are mediated with the help of Sanskrit poetics. This paper also argues that the sub-national Gujarati identity goes beyond the dichotomy of Vishwa and Rashtra, as proposed by Vinay Dharwadker.

Abstract:
Optical character recognition (OCR) technologies have made significant progress in the field of language recognition. Gujarati is a more difficult language to recognize compared to other languages because of curves, close loops, the inclusion of modifiers, and the presence of joint characters. So great effort has been laid into the literature for Gujarati OCR. Recently deep learning-based CNN models are applied to develop OCR for different languages but Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models are not yet giving a satisfactory performance to recognize Gujarati characters. So, this paper proposes a revolutionary Gujarati printed characters and numerals recognition CNN models. CNN-PGC (CNN for - Printed Gujarati Character) and CNN-HGC (CNN for - Handwritten Gujarati Character) are two optimally configured Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) presented in this research for printed Gujarati base characters and handwritten numbers, respectively. Concerning particular performance indicators, the suggested work's performance is evaluated and proven against that of other traditional models and with the latest baseline methods. Experimental analysis has been carried out on well-segmented newly generated Gujarati base characters and numerals dataset which includes 36 consonants, 13 vowels, and 10 handwritten numerals. Variation in the database is also taken into consideration during experiments like size, skew, noise blue, etc. Even in the presence of printing irregularities, writing irregularities, and degradations the proposed method achieves a 98.08% recognition rate for print characters and a 95.24 % recognition rate for handwritten numerals which is better than other existing models.

Abstract:
This paper examines the validity of perceived associations of ‘parochialism’ and social conservatism with regional language literature (RLL) and ‘modernity’ and ‘progressiveness’ with Indian writing in English (IWE), through a comparative examination of gender in Indian children's literature in English (ICLE) and children's literature in Gujarati (CLG). For this purpose, it adopts an intersectional framework which studies how gender functions in conjunction with other identity markers, rather than operating in isolation. The conclusions emerging from this feminist analysis of intersections of gender with other systems of oppression such as caste, class and community in Indian children's novels in English and Gujarati challenge the associations of ‘parochialism’ with RLL and ‘modernity’ with IWE. They reveal that while both ICLE and CLG are similar in silencing dalit girls/women, and in enforcing minority community stereotypes as far as Muslim masculinity is concerned, CLG shows progressive trends by undertaking to re-gender dalit masculinity and by sensitively exploring gender and class intersection in the construction of poor women.

Abstract:
Kesharashivam, the author of Gujarati 'Purnsatya' autobiography, was born on 28-9-1940 in Kalol, Mehsana district of North Gujarat. His native place is 'Adewad' village. His real name is Bhikhabhai Shivabhai Jadav. Mother's name is Kesharben. Taking the name of his mother and father together with the nickname 'B. Kesharashivam', he has been active in the field of literature. By creating stories, essays and novels in Gujarati Dalit literature, B. Kesharasivam has gained much fame as a Dalit writer. If we study his stories, essays or novels, we will definitely hear the sound of his personal experiences or empathy. He wrote only Dalit literature. He has also received many awards for his literary works. Looking at the two parts of 'Purna Satya', we find the first part more interesting and creative. The language is simple and easy in style. In the first part of this work, the creator has depicted the condition and direction of his life by covering the events of childhood and curriculum. So, in the second part, the situation in which they perform their duties during their job is depicted. In which the creator seems to give a chart of the social reform works he does after becoming a government official. In the first part, the author appears as a creator, while in the second part, he appears more as a reformer.

Kale, Durga. "Speaking Stones: Oral Tradition as Provenance for the Memorial Stelae in Gujarat." Heritage 2, no. 2 (2019): 1085–96. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/heritage2020071.

Abstract:
Anthropological fieldwork in rural settlements on the west coast of India has unraveled the close connection between lived experiences, spaces and objects. These “inalienable possessions”, in the words of Annette Weiner, help reconstruct the past through the supplementation of oral traditions. Following this vein, the paper attempts to mesh together the material culture and oral histories to establish the provenance for the plethora of memorials in the state of Gujarat. A series of oral narratives collected in Western India since 2014 has highlighted the role of medieval memorial stelae that commemorate the deceased heroes of war and their wives and companions. This paper creates a niche for the Gujarati oral tradition as provenance for the continued veneration of these memorials. Field observations from 2014–2016 and notes from research in Gujarat from 1985 onwards enabled the study of patterns in the oral preservation of literature. A systematic documentation of the existing stelae and associated oral traditions has informed the views in this paper. The paper speaks to all levels of interaction and the making of an identity for the memorial stones that are unique to the state of Gujarat. A case for the inclusion of such rich material in museum displays is made in connection with this case study of the memorial stelae in Gujarat.

Dwyer, Rachel Madeline Jackson. "The Gujarati lyrics of Kavi Dayarambhai." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1995. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28906/.

Full text
Abstract:
Kavi Dayarambhai or Dayaram (1777-1852), considered to be one of the three greatest poets of Gujarati, brought to an end not only the age of the great bhakta-poets, but also the age of Gujarati medieval literature. After Dayaram, a new age of Gujarati literature and language began, influenced by Western education and thinking. The three chapters of Part I of the thesis look at the ways of approaching North Indian devotional literature which have informed all subsequent readings of Dayaram in the hundred and fifty years since his death. Chapter 1 is concerned with the treatment by Indologists of the Krsnaite literature in Braj Bhasa, which forms a significant part of Dayaram's literary antecedents. Chapter 2 then considers studies of Dayaram by Gujarati scholars which tend to focus on him as a devotee of Krsna and a member of the Pustimarga. It also looks at literary criticism of his writings in the context of the Gujarati literary world. Chapter 3 discusses Dayaram's lyrics from an Indological perspective, concentrating on form and language. Part II puts forward a new approach to a study of Dayaram's lyrics. Chapter 4 argues that these texts deserve treatment as literary texts in their own right and suggests a reading informed by the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin (1895- 1975). Chapter 5 discusses Dayaram's lyrics in the light of Bakhtin's concept of the camivalesque, Chapter 6 looks at the functions of chronotopic features in the lyrics. Part III is a selection of Dayaram's lyrics. The Gujarati texts are given in Roman transliteration, followed by literal translations into English. A full bibliography of primary and secondary sources consulted is included. The thesis introduces a poet scarcely known to western scholars and makes a selection of his work available to those who do not know Gujarati. It examines a number of approaches which have conventionally been brought to bear on literature of this kind. It finds much which is valuable in them but highlights some of their limitations for a study of this poet; a new critical approach from literary theory, using the ideas of Bakhtin (in particular those of the carnivalesque and the chronotope) allows the thesis to re-examine the position of Dayaram in the history of Gujarati literature.

Sheffield, Daniel. "In the Path of the Prophet: Medieval and Early Modern Narratives of the Life of Zarathustra in Islamic Iran and Western India." Thesis, Harvard University, 2012. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10409.

Full text
Abstract:
In the Path of the Prophet: Medieval and Early Modern Narratives of the Life of Zarathustra in Islamic Iran and Western India is a historical study of the discursive practices by which Zoroastrians struggled to define their communal identity through constructions of the central figure of their religion. I argue that Zoroastrians adopted cosmopolitan religious vocabularies from the Islamicate and Sanskritic literary traditions for a world in which they were no longer a dominant political force. Contrary to much scholarship, which characterizes medieval Zoroastrian thought as stagnant, I contend that literary production in this period reveals extraordinary intellectual engagement among Zoroastrians endeavoring to make meaning of their ancient religious traditions in a rapidly changing world. The essays of my dissertation focus on four moments in Zoroastrian intellectual history. I begin with an analysis of the thirteenth century Persian Zarātushtnāma (The Book of Zarathustra), examining interactions between Zoroastrian theology and prophetology and contemporary Islamic thought, focusing on the role that miracles played in medieval Zoroastrian conceptions of prophethood. In my next essay, I explore questions of identity, orthodoxy and heterodoxy by investigating a group of Zoroastrian mystics who migrated from Safavid Persia to Mughal India around the seventeenth century. Influenced by the Illuminationist school of Islamic philosophy, they left behind a body of texts which blur religious boundaries. In my third essay, I examine the earliest literary compositions in the Gujarati language about the life of Zarathustra, employing theoretical discussions of literary cosmopolitanism and vernacularization to trace how Zoroastrian stories were reimagined by Indian Zoroastrians (Parsis) to fit Indo-Persian and Sanskritic discursive conventions. Finally, I look at the ways in which Zoroastrian prophetology was transformed through the experience of colonial modernity, focusing especially on the role of the printing press and the creation of a literate public sphere. I argue that the formation of a Parsi colonial consciousness was an experience of loss and recovery, in which traditional Persianate forms of knowledge were replaced by newly introduced sciences of philology, ethnology, and archaeology, fundamentally reshaping the Parsi conception of their religion and religious boundaries.

His work pertains to varied domains such as creative writing, literary criticism, literary history, translation, prosody, epistemology, and aesthetics among others. Pathak’s creative and critical orientation cause strategic deviation in his register, tenor, content and execution in sync with nature of his discourse (historical, formalistic study, philosophical, social, political, aesthetic etc.), form of discourse (critical essay, review, radio talk, key-note address to seminars, etc), audience (informed audience, general readers, students, academics, etc.), subject matter (study of poetic meters, Indian Darshana theories of knowledge, practical criticism of writers like Narmad, Tagore among others).

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In the contested terrain of colonial India, Mirabai would be drawn into debates about the status of women and nationalist constructions of a heroic Indian identity and a new patriarchy. This chapter argues that the allegedly historical biographies and nationalist tales of the saint that emerge during last decade of nineteenth century profoundly reflect this ongoing project and must be read as such, though they have been widely disseminated in scholarly and popular literature alike. The saint drew the attention of British officer scholars as a romantic model for beleaguered Indian womanhood, in line with gendered rhetorical justifications for colonial rule. Among elite Indian nationalists, she was lauded as a model for women’s education and strength and as the premiere premodern poetess in an emerging Hindi literary canon. Yet in many characterizations of the saint, she was far from the ideal of the new patriarchy. This chapter details how she was made over into a proper wife by Bengali and Gujarati nationalists and rajput historians relying selectively on the scant historical documentation available, hagiographic accounts, the tales of other legendary rajput and brahman heroines, and their own sense of how she would or should have behaved. By the end of the century a new line of narrative emerges with Mirabai transformed into a saintly cultural heroine, thoroughly Indian and rajput, both traditional and modern, and an inspirational model for women in the eyes of these elite male writers.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter is based on the premise that language is both expressive and constitutive of caste. It is in language that the most embedded and almost invisibly settled ideologies of caste can be seen—glimpses of which become evident if quotidian language is examined closely. Caste often lies in the ellipsis, the half-said, and the unspoken. Through attention to language, the chapter demonstrates that caste is illegible and does not demonstrate the kind of structure assumed in the English word “caste.” By drawing from examples in several Indian languages, particularly Gujarati, the chapter also shows how language works to hide and to reveal caste. The chapter draws particular attention to the language of the upper castes and the sophistry they use to find out about caste.

Abstract:
This research paper explores the awareness and perception of university students in Gujarat State towards startups. The objective is to understand the level of awareness among students about startups and their perception of this emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem in the state. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A structured questionnaire is distributed among a sample of university students from different disciplines and institutions across Gujarat State to assess their knowledge of startups, familiarity with existing startups in the state, and their perceptions regarding the benefits and challenges associated with startup ventures. In-depth interviews are conducted with a subset of the participants to gain a deeper understanding of their attitudes, motivations, and barriers towards engaging with startups. The findings of this research contribute to the existing literature on entrepreneurship and startup ecosystems by specifically focusing on the awareness and perception of university students. The study's results will aid policymakers, educational institutions, and startup support organizations in developing targeted strategies to enhance student awareness, engagement, and participation in the startup ecosystem of Gujarat State.

Imre Bangha locates the source of what would later become the literary idioms associated with the Hindi heartland—Brajbhasha, Avadhi, Khari Boli, and so on—in Maru-Gurjar, an idiom originating not in the Gangetic plain but in western India, particularly the lands of modern Gujarat and western Rajasthan. Bangha argues that it was this literary language, originally cultivated by Jains beginning in the late twelfth century, that eventually spread to the lands known as madhyadeś, where in the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries it developed into the forms that we now associate with Brajbhasha and Avadhi. Bangha also reveals that the linguistic and literary evidence for this connection has been apparent for some time, but modern Hindi literary historiography, taking nationalism as its organizing principle and embracing a strict sense of religion as one of the significant boundaries of literary culture, has been largely unable to see it.
