Cultural Politics in Modern India
Cultural Politics in Modern India
India’s global proximities derive in good measure from its struggle against British imperialism. In its efforts to become a nation, India turned modern in its own unusual way. At the heart of this metamorphosis was a "colourful cosmopolitanism," the unique manner in which India made the world its neighbourhood. The most creative thinkers and leaders of that period reimagined diverse horizons. They collaborated not only in widespread anti-colonial…
Faith outside the Lab
The four hundred and fifty strong academic community in the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, one of the premier institutions of science and technology in the country, include some of India's leading scientists and technologists, who have won reputed national and international awards for excellence in their respective fields of specialization. In an institution that prides itself on its 'pursuit of excellence', and where almost every fac…
Beyond the subaltern syndrome
Using some of Amitav Ghosh’s influential non-fictional writings to understand his own novels, this paper problematizes Ghosh’s works in terms of the crisis of the bhadrasamaj or the middle class makers of the nation and civil society in India. Indeed, we may detect a direct line of literary and cultural descent from the two iconic figures of recent Bangla culture, Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray, to Ghosh’s complex career. But instead of a c…
‘East Indian’ Cosmopolitanism
In this essay I reassess the legacy of Henry Vivian Louis Derozio (1809–31) through the first extended interpretation of The Fakeer of Jungheera (1828), his 2,050-line poem, published when he was barely nineteen. What makes this poem notable, even unique, is that it is the first long poem written by any Indian in the English language. More remarkably, it is also an intriguing conjuncture of a complex set of relations at the very beginnings of mod…
Mutations of the Calcutta Chromosome? Amitav Ghosh and the Mapping of a “Minor” Literature
Tagore's Idea of World Literature
Though it seems to have re-surfaced in a dramatic way, Rabindranath Tagore's essay remained untranslated till 2001. Though Tagore only comes to world literature in the end, the essay is an important statement of Tagore's view of the purpose of human life and the role art in its fruition; indeed, we might consider the essay to be a concise formulation of Tagore's aesthetic philosophy itself. What Tagore meant by world literature was the essential …

Is the Third World Novel in general and more specifically the Indian English novel different from the Western novel? If so, how do we account for and understand this difference? Moreover, what is the ideological relationship between the Western novel and the Third World novel? My paper tries to discuss such questions. Though my discussion centres on the novel, I shall be interested in broader issues of cultural interaction. I hope, then, to use t…
