    Where Worlds Collide 'And The Hunger Of Memory'

    The author’s persona in “An Indian Father’s Plea”, written by Robert Lake, is an angry Indian father who is upset with the treatment of his child in school. He claims the teacher has, “already labeled him a “slow learner”’ because his son is Indian (Lake 109). This plays on the major controversial topic of racial or cultural profiling. The narrator speaks in a very intelligent tone, which only proves to his argument that you can be culturally diverse and intellectual. “An Indian Father’s Plea” is a prime example of why you cannot judge a book by its…

    I Just Want to Read an Essay

    “The Namesake,” written by Jhumpa Lahiri , was published in September 2003, . It depicts the hard life of Ashoke and Ashima, two first-generation immigrants from India to the U.S, and the cultural conflicts between their American-born children and them. As a spectator, I do believe that both cultures are privileged in different parts of the books, and the influences on both generation of acculturation and assimilation in this book also need dialectic discussion. But the author ,as I think, cares more about Hindu culture and tends to foreground it.…

    Jhumpa Lahiri

    Many children in the world are born and raised into cross cultural lives. Jhumpa Lahiri is an example of one of those people. Lahiris life experiences influence her symbolism, themes and styles of her writing. Growing up in America, she was greatly influenced by the Indian and American culture making her an Indian American. Jhumpa Lahiris personal experience as an Indian American is conveyed through Lilia’s cross cultural struggles in “Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine,” Mr. Kipasis perspective on Mrs. Das and the American culture in “The Interpreter of Maladies,” and Miranda’s personal struggles and interest in the Indian culture in the story “Sexy.”…

    The God Of Small Things Analysis

    The discussion has been formulated against issues like identity, hybridity, cultural differences and conflict. Roy’s novel, even though complex, incoherent and fragmented, conveys a deeper meaning that runs into notions regarding human perspectives, values and attitudes of a post colonial nation. The relation between India and English has been a long and troublesome one. In India, the cultural impact of imperialism dominated the urban class and westernized upper and lower middle classes. The women writers of post colonial India are influenced from backgrounds and their writings reflected their experiences.. When Sophie Mol, Rahel and Estha’s cousin comes down from London, Mammachi (their grandmother) is extremely apprehensive about her grandchildren’s ability to speak English fluently. She surreptitiously listens to the twins speaking and punished them if they spoke in Malayalam or if they made mistakes while speaking in English. Their cousin was presented to them as their ideal. She is constantly compared to Rahel and Estha, leaving them depressed and embittered. Their English cousin is loved from the beginning even before she arrives and when she died the loss of her became more important than her memory. Hybridity occurs in colonial societies both…

    Nativism in Girish Karnad's Naga Mandal

    Bhalchandra Nemade observed that modern Indian literature has been basking in the glory of western modernism. It always locates the centre of creativity outside the desi (native) tradition. In his book Nativism Nemade poses a question, ‘Do we need native standards to interpret and evaluate native tradition or the so-called “universal” standards for this purpose?’ Nemade’s question becomes very important in Indian context, because throughout the world cultural similarities do exist, but differences which are more fecund and important, also exist. There can be universal standards in science because in science there is nothing Occidental or Oriental, Western or Indian, but each culture has distinct native styles of living. Nemade takes into consideration the Whorfian thesis of how language decides the speakers’ world-view. As the so-called ‘universal standards’ take into its ken only European knowledge and ignores conveniently others, the basis of these standards is ‘hollow’. Nemade is right when he says, the British, having ruled over most peoples of the world for generations, have imposed upon the subject-cultures the rules based on their understanding of universe. Now accepting such irrational standards as ‘universal’ would mean we ourselves lack the power of investigating truth. Literature is a kind of knowledge about human existence with reference to the cosmos, nature, society and the inner mental process of human beings. Then how can this knowledge be assessed with reference to the cosmos, nature, society which is alien and has no reference and relation to the land and culture which the work of art represents. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to discuss how the concept of Nativism is reflected in Girish Karnad’s Naga-Mandala. Naga-Mandala, based on two Kannada folk-tales which Girish Karnad heard from A. K. Ramanujan, is full of mythical wonder and is enshrouded in a realm of magic and…
