Abstract:

In this article, I share my experience in teaching the novel Kanthapura to undergraduate students at an Indian university over the past two decades. I discuss the evolving interpretations of the novel in the context of changing pedagogical culture and intellectual undercurrents, namely postcolonial and post-truth discourses. I reflect on the teaching strategies and techniques that I have used to engage students against the backdrop of culturally responsive pedagogy. The article comprises an empirical study of students’ responses to the novel collected by me over the last ten years.

Abstract:

The present paper seeks to outline Social and Political background in Kanthapura. It aims a better understanding of how social and political acts in Raja Rao’s Kanthapura. This article begins by offering general introduction to Raja Rao and Kanthapura. Subsequently, it is a classic of the Gandhian movement, a work in which the Gandhian struggle for independence and its impact on the Indian masses finds, its best and fullest expression. This pre-eminence is surprising when we remember that the bulk of his published work is small. His famous works are The Cow of the Barricades and Other Stories

Abstract:

In Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson describes how sacred script languages (Arabic, Chinese, Latin) were usurped in political primacy by languages based on the spoken vernacular (French, English, German). In this article I examine one instance of these complications through Raja Rao’s classic novel of Indian independence, Kanthapura, a novel written in Indian English that works both with and against Anderson’s concept of nationalism’s linguistic underpinnings. Kanthapura not only proposes a model for Indian English speakers and writers, but performs a rhetorical argument about the necess
