The Romantic Nationalist
The early decades of the twentieth century signified a dual engagement within many Indian poets with the romantic-modernist influence acquired from the West on the one hand, and the patriotic and nationalist sentiments of the anti-colonial freedom struggle on the other. This paper will look into the poetry of Ambikagiri Raichoudhury, published in various collections like Tumi (1915), Beena (1916), Anubhuti (1954) and Bedonar Ulka (1964), in which…
Xenophobia, necrospace and genocide in Bangladesh
The partition of undivided India through the two-nation theory created India and Pakistan, but it also laid the groundwork for deepening xenophobia within Pakistan's political structure, sharpening divisions between West and East Pakistan. In East Pakistan, Creole nationalism rooted in Bangla language, culture, and identity – combined with economic disparities and political marginalisation – intensified these fractures. The region gradually trans…
Vernacular Historiography and North-East Literature
This paper proposes to undertake an analysis of the Kachari Buranji (1936), a chronicle, collated from old Assamese manuscripts, documenting the Ahom–Kachari relations from the end of the fourteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century. This buranji comes under the sub-genre called kataki buranjis (the others being Jayantia Buranji and Tripura Buranji), which have dealt with the political and other correspondences between the Ahoms and the …
Marginality in Literary Discourses
Rabisankar Bal’s Bengali novel Dozakhnama: Conversations in Hell (translated into English and published in 2012) is an imaginative biography of Mirza Ghalib (1797-1869), and Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) recreated through their conversations from their respective graves. The narrative is enmeshed with the respective historical periods inhabited by the two writers, the first war of Indian independence in 1857 and the Partition in 1947 respectivel…
Comparative Literary History in Assamese
The essay attempts to explore some possibilities of Comparative Literary History with respect to Assamese literature. Writing a literary history is a complex business, and the tenets underlying its conceptualisation and execution have often been determined by factors other than purely ‘literary’ ones. In the essay, the conceptual dimensions of literary historiography are examined in relation to its recently developed nexus with comparative litera…
Reading Syed Abdul Malik’s Dhanya Nara Tanu Bhaland Rudrani Sarma’s Lauhitya Tirar Amrit Gathain the light of Assamese Vaishnavite Hagiography
As part of the pan-Indian Bhakti movement, the Neo-Vaishnavite movement sought to reform the decadent modes of worship practiced in medieval Assam and, in the process, moved beyond the religious confines of the sectarian domain to influence the socio-cultural life of the milieu to which it addressed itself. An important document which enables a reading pertaining to the stated framework is the hagiography. In a hagiographic tradition, the biograp…

Reinterpreting the‘Bard’
This essay attempts to undertake a comparative study of the Shakespearean appropriations in late 19th century India under colonial rule on one hand, and in mid-20th century (East) Germany on the other. While 19th century Indian responses to Shakespeare carried a covert nationalist agenda against the British rulers who had made him complicit in the colonial project, the mid-20th century German adaptations found in him, a potent site for voicing th…
