Abstract:
Against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle, Raja Rao’s Kanthapura touches on the psycho-spiritual idea of India in a rural setting through motifs and expressions such as “Gandhi,” “Congress,” “Mother,” “Vande Mataram,” and “a thousand pillared temple.” The Kanthapurians are psychologically conditioned to collectively participate in the freedom struggle through a nationalist discourse. However, their peculiar understanding of and attitude to the national movement are unique and do not represent the essence of the multifaceted Indian independence movement. The novel has a limited scope,

Abstract:
Abstract Raja Rao’s Kanthapura (1938) stands as a seminal text in Indian English literature, offering a unique synthesis of Gandhian nationalism, indigenous cultural idioms, and the oral narrative tradition. Through the microcosm of a South Indian village, Rao explores the political awakening of rural India during the Indian freedom struggle. Narrated by an elderly Brahmin widow, Achakka, the novel unfolds as a tapestry of myth, history, and resistance, where the arrival of a young Gandhian, Moorthy, catalyzes profound social change. This paper examines how Kanthapura functions both as a polit

Rao is a great accomplishing man who has written The Serpent and the Rope and Kanthapura, the elevating and redefining works which show man’s relationship to the supernatural absolute in terms consistent with the depiction of Indianness. Evidences are sought to analyse Indianness as marks of values and philosophy behind the character analysis and physical features. Rao imbues his English with a Dravidian tinge in whole and the taste of the Kannada village dialect in specifically. The themes of self-awareness, self-transcendence, and self-fulfillment are deliberately emphasized. The Serpent and

Indian writers have significantly impacted literature worldwide by offering new perspectives and compelling stories to people globally. Authors such as Rushdie, R.K.

Raja Rao significantly contributed to the development of the English novel in India. He skillfully fictionalises the diverse socio-cultural, economic, and interpersonal interactions of different people. These elements of Indian ethos include religiosity and

The paper tries to analyse the role of Gandhi in the nationalist movement which can be witnessed in the novel Kanthapura. The figure of Gandhi is not present in the text as one of the characters (apart from the interaction which Moorthy tells about that he had with Mahatma) but the whole narrative revolves around him. It is through media and Moorthy that women in the text get to know Gandhi and they are all united in spirit though they have never met Gandhi in person. This paper also tries to explore that how Gandhi challenges, contests, and redefines masculinity and femininity, thus blurring

Abstract:
The most celebrated ancient heroic text of India is the &lsquo;Ramayana&rsquo;. It provided themes for important later literary works in Indian languages. The poet Valmiki, who lived around the 3rd century BC, put the Ramayana into form. This epic tells the story of the hero Rama, the prince of Ayodhya and incarnation of the god Vishnu. Rama willingly accepts exile in the forest to redeem a promise made by his father. Rama&rsquo;s wife Sita is then kidnapped and Rama rescues her by slaying her abductor, the demon king Ravana. There was great impact of Ramayana on the work of the Indian English
