Book Description
This eponymous novel is centred on Kamale, who is an embodiment of wifely virtue. For fifteen long years Kamale lives the life of a widow to the outside world, nurturing the hopes of reuniting with the husband one day. Alone in the room, each night she wears her marks of a married woman with the dagger gifted by Umesha next to her. It could be seen as an exposition on the then existing indigenous discourse in India in the 19th century and early 20th century. Kamale, in her rigorous commitment and in retrieving her husband from “death”, is fashioned after Savithri in an intertextual reference to Mahabharata’s episode of “Satyavan and Savithri”. The novel might look conservative for the present-day reader, but it is a representative literary work of the time when Paniyadi, among many others, wanted to regain the independent status of the Tulu language which had somehow slipped out of its pedestal. Sati Kamale is a novel which seeks to pit a self-conscious nation against colonial attacks in the form of modern education and several reformist projects that educated Indians had taken a fancy for. S U Paniyady, a strong nationalist himself, makes no secret as to where his sympathies lie. The chief protagonist of the novel is a woman, who fiercely upholds wifely virtues even when she lives in a limbo of doubt that her husband could have been martyred. She spurns the demand for remarriage and insists on remaining steadfastly devoted to the memory of her husband, which finally helps her to recover him in the rarefied realm of the Himalayas, much in the same way the legendary Sati Savitri won back the life of Satyavan. Creation of this modern mythology serves a nationalist purpose of upholding the moral that our inner strength can alone protect us from infections from outside.

Mothering India
Author: Susmita Roye
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190991631
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Indian writing in English (IWE) is now a widely recognized and awarded genre, boasting of world renowned authors in its ranks. The ‘fathers’ of IWE, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, and Raja Rao, have now been canonized and their works widely studied. Yet, very little scholarly attention has been paid to the pioneering literary contributions of Indian women to analyse their effect on the cultural history of their times. Mothering India addresses this lack and concentrates on early Indian women’s fiction written between 1890 and 1947. It not only evaluates the influence of women authors on the rise of IWE, but also explores how they reassessed and challenged stereotypes about womanhood in India, adding their voice to the larger debate about social reform legislations on women’s rights. Moreover, in choosing to write in the colonizer’s language, they seized the attention of a much wider international readership. In wielding their pens, these trendsetting women stepped into the literary landscape as ‘speaking subjects’, refusing the passivity of being ‘spoken-of objects’, and thereby ‘mothering’ India by redefining her image.

Feminist and Anticaste Pedagogies
Author: V. Geetha
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040032648
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This book comprises the collected essays of Sharmila Rege (1964 – 2013), which span a range of themes, including critical perspectives on women’s movements, Dalit standpoint feminism, and the relationship between Women’s Studies and other disciplines. Written over two decades and more (from the 1990s to 2010), these pioneering essays draw from the struggles and writings of Dalit women, the long history of anticaste thought in Maharashtra and global feminist debates. Equally, they address enduring concerns to do with caste and gender, and call attention to the inseparability of struggles against caste and patriarchy. Framed and annotated by an introduction that places Sharmila's work in the intellectual and historical contexts that shaped it, the volume also features short prefatory notes by her colleagues on the various themes taken up for discussion. Addressing, as it does, the researcher, the activist and the teacher, the book is indispensable for students and researchers of women’s studies, feminism, gender studies, Dalit studies, minority studies, Sociology, as well as studies in language and rhetoric.

The Dialogue With The Dead
Author: Prakash P.Joshi
Publisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This novel unfolds the mysterious story of Mr. Harisingh, the young journalist whose spirit is held up in purgatory after his accidental death. The Spirit establishes a communication link with the narrator who visits the cemetery for his personal peace. The Spirit reveals the whole of his life-story to the Narrator and asks him to do his ‘Shradha’ (after-death religious rites) to release him from the limbo. The Narrator, moved by the Spirit’s traumatic experiences, agree to perform the religious rituals the Sprits longs for. After the ‘Shradha Vidhi’, the Spirit returns to his body and his life is revived like the story of a phoenix which rises from its ashes. The novel is a curious and mysterious mixture of science and 20th century surrealism. The theme of the novel is spun around the excesses and extremities of the Emergency period in India. It fictionally describes how the whole opposition, the rightists and the leftists, were made to suffer for the ambitions and wrongful governance of the country.

The Girl from Kathmandu
Author: Cam Simpson
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062449737
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice The shocking story of the massacre of a group of Nepalese men working as Defense contractors for the United States Government during the Iraq War, and the widow who dedicated her life to finding justice for her husband and the other victims—a riveting tale of courageous heroes, corporate war profiteers, international business, exploitation, trafficking, and human rights in the age of global capitalism that reveals how modern power truly works. In August of 2004, twelve men left their village in Nepal for jobs at a five-star luxury hotel in Amman, Jordan. They had no idea that they had actually been hired for sub-contract work on an American military base in Iraq. But fate took an even darker turn when the dozen men were kidnapped and murdered by Islamic extremists. Their gruesome deaths were captured in one of the first graphic execution videos disseminated on the web—the largest massacre of contractors during the war. Compounding the tragedy, their deaths received little notice. Why were these men, from a remote country far removed from the war, in Iraq? How had they gotten there? Who were they working for? Consumed by these questions, award-winning investigative journalist Cam Simpson embarked on a journey to find answers, a decade-long odyssey that would uncover a web of evil spanning the globe—and trigger a chain of events involving one brave young widow, three indefatigable human rights lawyers, and a formidable multinational corporation with deep governmental ties. A heart-rending, page-turning narrative that moves from the Himalayas to the Middle East to Houston and culminates in an epic court battle, The Girl from Kathmandu is a story of death and life—of the war in Iraq, the killings of the twelve Nepalese, a journalist determined to uncover the truth, and a trio of human rights lawyers dedicated to finding justice. At its heart is one unforgettable young woman, Kamala Magar, who found the courage to face the influential men who sent her husband to his death—a model of strength hope, bravery, and an unbreakable spirit who reminds us of the power we all have to make a difference.
