Talk with Gujarati author Mahendra shin Parma

              On  the   Friday, 15 th September  2017,  Department  of  English  M.K. bhavnager  university  has  arranged  a  session with Gujarati  short story  writer Prof. Mahendra shin Parmar .his  short stories  is  a  very  popular  in  a now days.  His  famous  two short stories is :
1: ' polytechnic '
2: ' Udanchakardi '

                       We got to  here both of these stories from  their  mouth. And  this was a  very  special moment for us because  it is  rare  to see  that  an  author  presents  his own story  with  his opinion.

                His  polytechnic story  seemed  to be  very  difficult  to  published  and  present to  us because the  subject matter  of  the story  itself is mild, but  in  other  words this  topic  is  a  serious  issue  of  present time.  Polytechnic stories  main  theme  is  'Sulabh  sauchalay ' and the  sauchalay  (toilet) is  also attached  to  the  cleanliness.  This story  polytechnic  with  connection  of the  Hindi  movie ' toilet - ek  pream katha '.

                        This story  introduced the  difficulties of the woman's for  the  toilet  and this  shortstory  has been  told  about  the polytechnic ground of  bhavnager city. This  is a very  useful ground  for  woman.

                 Last  year  ,we  have  talk on  'intellectual Indubhai ' short story  written  by  him . Well  this story  and  film  between in I  found that  the  film  is  failed  against  this story.  Because  story  in uses to pure  languages and story given to  massage.  I  very liked this  story .

Thinking activity of t. S .Eliot 's poem the wasteland

 

1. Yes , Nietzsche and Eliot between in many differences . They both are German philosopher, but Nietzsche 's thinking is properly change again Eliot 's thinking. Nietzsche not believe in to God and he says that 'God is died'. He was believe in to human's ability. And his point of view about then the progressive of human life and their formality.his think of a logical ways. Well Nietzsche with the concept of 'Ubermensch' means ' superhuman ',so he seems to be progressive and forward looking in giving solution to the problems of contemporary crisis. Nietzsche opposite Eliot was purely believe in to the God and myths. When Eliot looking about to the God, myths and religious way and it's past.in this poem of 'the wasteland ' in Eliot viewing about the 'Buddhism''Buddhism','christ','Hinduism, various rituals words are uses ,so Eliot was getting to past and history of myths. 

2. The second point in discussed to the ' primitive instincts ' repressive to satisfied life. When Eliot believe in the human law and rituals. ,his opposite fraud belives in the individualism, so fraud 's point of view that primitive instincts and happy satisfied life depanded to the individuality, on the other side Eliot mentioned to salvation lies in the preservation of cultural tradition .

3. In this poem 'the wasteland' in Eliot mentioned to various myths, cultures and mostly uses to mythical words about sharing to universal thought and rituals languages. Eliot express to Buddhism, Christianity, Indian myths and most of explaining to sexual perversion and spiritual degradation in found to European civilization. 

Then this poem 's last part in Eliot refers to 'Upnishads''Upnishads' of Indian culture and rituals. 

At the last stanza in he uses 'shantih, shantih, shantih ', in this last line expressed to peace of the mind .

Pehredaar Piya Ki. Is it progressive or regressive? Ban Pehredaar Piya ki. Why?

Respected  sir ,

            ' Pehredaar  piya ki ' is now  days  in  a very  controversial serial.  The  serial  'Pehredaar  piya ki ' on  Sony  tv  shows  a  10 year  boy  married  to  19  year  young  girl.

                Well  this  show's  title 'Pehredaar piya ki ' is  suggested to  that 'Pehredaar' means  protector and  'piya ' means  husband.  So  protector of  husband.  Generally  we  all  knows that  the society  and  culture in  woman 's  are  mentally and physically  depending  to  the  man and  man's are  always  protecting  the  woman's  .but  at  that time in this thinking  are  suddenly changed.  This show through  reflected this  ideas.

                 First  of  all  this show  is released to  two themes
1: child marriage
2: feminism
  
          In  the  First  theme  of  the  child  marriage is  a correctly  showing  to  This  show.  The  society does  not  accepted  This  child marriage  but  media  shows  This kind of  things.  So  negative people'people's  are  request  to  ban  this  serial  because this  serial is  presenting  to  this  theme of  the child marriage.  So  it's  regressive point. Many  serial 's are  came  with  this theme.
   
                             In  the  second  point  is  feminism.  Well  see  the  serial  in  feminism  perspective of   view  . In  this show 's  heroin  Diya  is a  protecter of  her  husband.  She is  suffer  against to the rule  of  culture .her  always  saving to ratan .so  Diya  as  a   protecter and very  brave girl.  She is growing and rising in  the cultural  moment.  She is raise her  voice  against to evils things and people's.  So  it's progressive  point.

            In  this show 's two  sides : good & BAD . WE can  see  in  the  good side so  we can like and  accepted this things  but  we  can see in  the  bad  side  so we  can't like about this show.  But  we  can correctly choosing to depended.

thinking activity for the play of ' waiting for godot '

Here , i am given  my  interpretation  about  the play  of  ' waiting  for  Godot'  


RESPECTED  SIR ,



Q.1 . What  Connection  do  you  see  in the  setting  (''A  country road  A  tree evening '') of  the play and  these  paintings ?

ans.  yes, that the  connection  between  this  painting  and  the  setting  of this  play . this  painting's  look  is closely  related  to this  setting  of the play . well in the  setting ''A country  road '' means  way of  god , and ''A tree evening '' means as a tree is looking  like  a cross.even  sun also rising , so it means rising to hope.again  that this  painting's  name is ' Longing' but Beckett  uses 'Waiting'. and Longing  means  waiting  .so Beckett says  that ''waiting for  Godot '', so in this  painting and in the setting of this play  describes to they two persons are waiting for the  god.


Q.2 . IN both  acts , evening  falls in to night and Moon rises ,How  would  you like  to  interpret  this ' coming  of night  and  moon' when actually they  are  waiting  for  Godot?

ans. In this both acts , Evening  falls in to  night and moon rises then the  night is signified  to  'end' so the  nature continuously  passes of the  time ,that  the nature never  wait  for the  time and  everything  and  natural necessary non-stop ,working in own way .but at  that situation  in the  human hope is not died .they  are  continuously  waiting for Godot.

Q.3.The  tree  is the  only  important  'thing' in  the  setting .What  is  the  importance of  tree in both  acts ? Why  does  Beckett  grow  a  few  leaves  in act 2 on the  barren tree - The  tree  has  four or  five  leaves.

ans. yes , the tree is  important  symbol  in the  both  acts ,in the  first act  the barren  tree  is  growing  a  few leaves ,that it means 'hope '  and  the tree  suggested  to the  second world war  and  in the act -2  on the barren tree  has four or five leaves  grow , so its  means they are  continuously hope about the waiting for the GOD.

Q.4. The  Director  feels  the  setting  with  some  debris .can you read  any meaning in the contours of  debris  in the  setting  of  the  play ?

ans. yes, i can read  in the  setting  of  the play on some  debris .first of all Debris means ,'Destroyed', 'Brokenness', 'Emptiness' so something  is brooked it and destroyed, its  symbol of  second world war and the Director was shown the setting of this play  in destroyed place , not seen in to this play  the beautiful nature ,but we can see in this plays atmosphere and stoned-place. so its symbol of  debris.

Q.5. The  play  begins  with the  dialogue ''Nothing  to be  done ''. How does  the theme of  'Nothingness'  recurse in the play ?

ans. The  play  begins  with the  dialogue ''Nothing  to be done '' in this plays main theme is  'Nothingness' .we can see this play in all characters are doing meaningless and unreasonable activities.

Q.6 How  are the  props like Hat and Boots used in the  play ? what is the symbolic significance  of these  props ?

ans. this two props is very  related  to this  play .in this two props with  compare two characters .well Hat  represented to intellectual thinking .so Vladimir plays with Hat and he think logically .and other way in Boots  represented  thinking without logic , unnecessary thinking ,so Estragon  plays with  Boot ,and his thinking  unlogical.

Q.7Do you  agree: ''The  play ( waiting for Godot ) we agreed ,was a positive play ,not negative ,not pessimistic ,as i saw it with my blood  and skin and eyes ,the philosophy is ; ''no matter what - atom bombs , anything - life goes on you can kill yourself ,but you can't kill life ,'' (E.G. Marshal  who played  Vladimir in original Broadway  production 1950's )?

ans.yes , i agree , this  play ' waiting for GODOT' was  a positive play , because this play in showing  that , what is reality  of life  and every movements , all characters are doing  nothing  activities  in our way . this plays theme is purely proved .then Vladimir and estrogen 's  logic was not clear and their thinking  mirror of nothingness , but also that their  hope for  the  waiting of god is not died .so its very significant.

Q.8 . Which  of  the  following  sequence  you liked  the most ....

ans. i like  the most sequence  of  Lucky's speech and  the  conversation of Vladimir  with  the boy .


thank you .....        

Postcolonialism

Postcolonialism

By definition, postcolonialism is a period of time after colonialism, and postcolonial literature is typically characterized by its opposition to the colonial. However, some critics have argued that any literature that expresses an opposition to colonialism, even if it is produced during a colonial period, may be defined as postcolonial, primarily due to its oppositional nature. Postcolonial literature often focuses on race relations and the effects of racism and usually indicts white and/or colonial societies. Despite a basic consensus on the general themes of postcolonial writing, however, there is ongoing debate regarding the meaning of postcolonialism. Many critics now propose that the term should be expanded to include the literatures of Canada, the United States, and Australia. In his essay discussing the nature and boundaries of postcolonialism, Simon During argues for a more inclusive definition, calling it “the need, in nations, or groups which have been victims of imperialism to achieve an identity uncontaminated by universalist or Eurocentric concepts or images.” The scale and scope of modern European imperialism, as well as its extraordinarily organized character, including the cultural licensing of racial domination, has sometimes led to the perception of colonization as a modern phenomenon. In fact, many critics propose that modern colonialism was not a discrete occurrence and that an examination of premodern colonial activities will allow for a greater and more complex understanding of modern structures of power and domination, serving to illuminate the operation of older histories in the context of both modern colonialism and contemporary race and global political relations.

Works of literature that are defined as postcolonial often record racism or a history of genocide, including slavery, apartheid, and the mass extinction of peoples, such as the Aborigines in Australia. Critical response to these texts is often seen as an important way to articulate and negotiate communication between writers who define themselves as postcolonial and critics who are not part of that experience. In her introduction to Post-Colonial and African American Women's Writing, published in 2000, Gina Wisker notes that the indictment present in many postcolonial texts tends to produce guilt or feelings of inherited complicity in many readers. Also, although writing about these texts may raise the level of awareness of both the texts and their writers, some postcolonial writers see reflected in this activity an arrogant assumption about the need for noncolonial cultures to recognize postcolonial writers. Similarly, other critics have noted that critical response that focuses entirely on the essential nature of black or Asian writers may also serve to marginalize their writing by supposing their experiences as largely a product of being “other” than European.

Postcolonialism includes a vast array of writers and subjects. In fact, the very different geographical, historical, social, religious, and economic concerns of the different ex-colonies dictate a wide variety in the nature and subject of most postcolonial writing. Wisker has noted in her book that it is even simplistic to theorize that all postcolonial writing is resistance writing. In fact, many postcolonial writers themselves will argue that their countries are still very much colonial countries, both in terms of their values and behaviors, and that these issues are reflected in their work. In her essay on postcolonialism, Deepika Bahri agrees, noting that while the definition of postcolonialism may be fairly boundaried, the actual use of the term is very subjective, allowing for a yoking together of a very diverse range of experiences, cultures, and problems. This diversity of definitions exists, notes Bahri, because the term postcolonialism is used both as a literal description of formerly colonial societies and as a description of global conditions after a period of colonialism. In this regard, according to Bahri, the notion of the “postcolonial” as a literary genre and an academic construct may have meanings that are completely separate from a historical moment or time period.

Some women colonial writers draw a relationship between postcolonialism and feminism. For many of these writers, who live in strong patriarchal cultures, language and the ability to write and communicate represent power. Some of these writers, for example, have noted that since the language of British-ruled colonies is English, literature written in English has often been used to marginalize and constrain female points of view. In the postcolonial period, however, language, and the ability to speak, write, and publish, has become an enabling tool for postcolonial authors.
