The Politics of Postcolonialism: Empire, Nation and Resistance
The Freight of Culture: The Mythicization of History in Indian Literary Tradition
This article addresses the issue of the intersection of Indian and Western traditions in Raja Rao’s short stories. In death, as in life, Rao’s ideological underpinnings remain the centre of controversial attention. His unstinted leanings towards an upper‐caste Indian ethos deeply split his readership into admirers and adversaries. It is imperative to revaluate Rao’s work from the position of Indian aesthetics and a social reality specific to Indi…

The process involved cultural revivalism, yet retained strong ties with the inheritance of two centuries of foreign domination. The spur to the writing of cultural tracts was sharp and the attempt …
Contesting Identities: Involvement and resistance of women in the Indian National Movement
In this paper, I have examined the construction of forms of historical consciousness in narratives or schools of narrative by treating historical fiction as the literary dimension of nationalist ideology. By focusing particularly on the politics of representation of women in the 1930s national movement in India, I have tried to show that the idea of nationalism and its manifestation in historical fiction, which underwrites the freedom struggle, a…
