While the modern literary novel in Hindi has traditionally grappled with contemporary issues impacting society in north India, Bhīṣma Sāhnī’s famous novel Tamas (“Darkness”) may be considered a unique endavour to revisit the horrific events that marked the transfer of power and partition of British India in 1947. This article represents a preliminary attempt to consider the emergence of a work of literary fiction in Hindi approximately 25 years after the events on which it is based.
虽然印度语的现代文学小说传统上一直在努力解决影响印度北部社会的当代问题,Bhīṣma Sāhnī的著名小说Tamas(“黑暗”)可能被认为是一次独特的努力,重新审视了1947年英属印度的权力转移和分裂的可怕事件。这篇文章代表了一个初步的尝试,以考虑大约25年后的事件,它是基于印度文学小说作品的出现。

WE are Dalit History 我们是达利特历史

Life writings had time and again been used as source material for historical research both in the West and the various literary cultures of South Asia. Considering the absence and a deliberate, socially conditioned erasure of Dalit history from the mainstream narratives of Indian historiography, some scholars have introduced the notion of viewing Dalit life writings as exercises in history writing. This article explores several Dalit autobiographies as instances of engagement with the process of constructing history of Dalit communities in India. Starting from this premise, it undertakes a preliminary analysis of various narrative strategies employed in Hindi autobiographies by Dalit authors in the hope of revealing the nature of their engagements with India’s past and present. The study presented in this paper is based on four relevant examples of prose in Hindi—by Kausalya Baisantri, Sushila Takbhaure, Omprakash Valmiki, and Sheoraj Singh Bechain.
在西方和南亚的各种文学文化中,生平著作一次又一次地被用作历史研究的素材。考虑到达利特历史在印度史学主流叙事中的缺失和故意的、有社会条件的抹去,一些学者引入了将达利特生活写作视为历史写作练习的概念。本文探讨了几本达利特自传,作为参与印度达利特社区历史建构过程的实例。从这一前提出发,本文对达利特作家在印地语自传中采用的各种叙事策略进行了初步分析,以期揭示他们与印度过去和现在交往的本质。本文的研究基于Kausalya Baisantri、Sushila Takbhaure、Omprakash Valmiki和Sheoraj Singh Bechain的四个印地语散文的相关例子。

The rāg that Burned down Delhi: Music and Memory between 1857 and 1947 烧毁德里的rāg:1857年至1947年间的音乐与记忆

The Urdu litterateur Shahid Ahmad Dehlvi (1906–1967) recorded a series of reflections and reminiscences about Delhi, its culture, and how that culture was brought to an end by the violence of Partition in 1947. In his essays on music, he documented the performances and personal histories of a range of singers, dancers, and instrumentalists based in Delhi in the first half of the 20th century and considered their plight after Independence. In this article, I examine three of these essays—two in Urdu and one in English—and ask two questions. Firstly, how does this author develop a sense of historical depth to the social and cultural rupture he experienced in 1947? I suggest that his Urdu essays draw upon a longer history of literary nostalgia and connect a Delhicentric understanding of Partition to the earlier crisis of 1857. Secondly, how did attending to music allow Shahid Dehlvi to explore the nuances of cultural rupture and personal loss?
乌尔都语文学家沙希德·艾哈迈德·德赫维(1906-1967)记录了一系列关于德里及其文化的反思和回忆,以及1947年分治暴力如何结束了这种文化。在他的音乐散文中,他记录了20世纪上半叶德里一系列歌手、舞者和乐器演奏家的表演和个人历史,并考虑了他们在独立后的困境。在这篇文章中,我研究了其中三篇文章——两篇是乌尔都语,一篇是英语——并提出了两个问题。首先,作者是如何对他在1947年经历的社会和文化断裂产生历史深度感的?我认为,他的乌尔都语散文借鉴了更长的文学怀旧历史,并将对分治的德里中心主义理解与1857年早期的危机联系起来。其次,关注音乐是如何让沙希德·德尔维探索文化断裂和个人损失的细微差别的?

“Helpless Indian”: The Sacred Cow as the Symbol of Hindu-Muslim Unity in a Late Nineteenth-Century Hindi Novel “无助的印度人”:19世纪晚期印度小说中象征印度教和穆斯林团结的圣牛
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-09-30 DOI: 10.12797/cis.23.2021.01.08
Justyna Wiśniewska-Singh
In the colonial North India of the late 19th century, the cow emerged as a powerful symbol of imagining the nation. The present paper explores how the image of the sacred cow was reinterpreted in the new sociopolitical context and subsequently employed in the Hindi novel, the development of which coincided with massive campaigns for cow protection. To this end, I study one of the earliest Hindi novels, Nissahāy hindū, written by Rādhākr̥ṣṇadās in 1881 and published in 1890. The novel can be read as a documentary evidence of polemics surrounding the process of identity formation and circumstances attending it, as articulated in the Hindi vernacular during the last decades of the 19th century. The agitation for cow protection is the novel’s leitmotif revolving around the theme of Hindu-Muslim unity, framed in an original and unconventional way. It introduces the bold idea of a Muslim agitating for cow protection and sacrificing himself for the movement. The analysis of the novel, alongside Bhāratendu Hariścandra’s seminal speech of 1884, reveals growing concerns regarding the Hindu-Muslim-British relations at the time of momentous religious, social and economic changes.
在19世纪末的殖民地北印度,牛成为了想象这个国家的有力象征。本文探讨了圣牛的形象如何在新的社会政治背景下被重新解释,并随后在印度小说中被采用,其发展恰逢大规模的牛保护运动。为此,我研究了最早的印地语小说之一Nissahāy hindji,它由Rādhākr ā ṣṇadās于1881年创作,于1890年出版。这部小说可以作为围绕身份形成过程和相关环境的争论的文献证据来阅读,正如19世纪最后几十年印度方言所表达的那样。鼓动保护奶牛是小说的主题,围绕着印度教徒和穆斯林团结的主题,以一种新颖而非传统的方式构成。它介绍了一个大胆的想法,一个穆斯林鼓动奶牛保护和牺牲自己的运动。对这部小说的分析,加上Bhāratendu Hariścandra 1884年的开创性演讲,揭示了在重大的宗教、社会和经济变革时期,人们对印度-穆斯林-英国关系的日益关注。

The Indian State has a long history of military interventions at numerous, mostly peripheral locations. Most of the interventions are protracted and may be viewed as virtual civil wars, each side producing and legitimizing its own version of events. This paper will focus on the fallout of the Punjab insurgency (1970–1995), and its decisive point, the Indian army intervention codenamed Operation Bluestar (June 1984), as narrated by a former militant, Sandip Kaur. Her Punjabi book, Bikhṛā Pai͂dā (“Difficult Journey”) (2008), written by somebody who is not a writer, represents a sub-category which “inhabits (…) margins of literary and autobiographical writing” (Butalia 2017: 20). Hence, it offers a unique glimpse into the process of identity construction, both at the personal and the communal level, enacted against the larger backdrop of national games played out on the regional scene and informed by Sikh ‘metacommentary’ (Oberoi 1987: 27).
印度政府在许多主要是周边地区进行军事干预的历史悠久。大多数干预都是旷日持久的,可能被视为实际上的内战,每一方都在制造和合法化自己对事件的看法。本文将集中讨论旁遮普叛乱(1970-1995)的后果,以及它的决定性点,即印度军队干预代号为蓝星行动(1984年6月),由前激进分子桑迪普·考尔叙述。她的旁遮普语书Bikhṛā Pai dā(“艰难的旅程”)(2008)由一个不是作家的人写的,代表了“居住在文学和自传写作的边缘”的子类别(Butalia 2017: 20)。因此,它提供了一个独特的视角来观察身份建构的过程,无论是在个人层面还是在公共层面,在更大的背景下,在区域场景中进行的民族游戏,并由锡克教徒的“元评论”提供信息(Oberoi 1987: 27)。

Editorship and History Making: On Historicizing Modern Editions of Tiruniḻalmāla 编辑与历史建构:论《Tiruniḻalmāla》现代版本的历史化

In the following essay I am going to comment briefly on the intersection between literary and performative genres that originated in early modern Kerala and to some extent continue till date. More specifically, on their relationship with the rich tradition of representing the past through producing works that follow recognizable patterns of composition and conventions of presentation. This more general consideration shall appear here as a backdrop to a study on contemporary editions of an early Malayalam work named Tiruniḻalmāla. The editions follow the relatively recent discovery of the work in question and its subsequent reinstatement in the history of Malayalam literature. I shall argue that the specific ways this reinstatement was presented by the editors, including a particular place they claimed for this work within the formation processes of Malayalam literature, constitute competing acts of general history writing concerned with the ongoing debate on how should the cultural identity and regional history of Kerala be best represented.
在下一篇文章中,我将简要地评论文学和表演流派之间的交集,这些流派起源于早期现代喀拉拉邦,并在某种程度上持续到今天。更具体地说,他们与通过生产遵循可识别的构图模式和呈现惯例的作品来表现过去的丰富传统的关系。这种更普遍的考虑将在这里出现,作为研究早期马拉雅拉姆作品Tiruniḻalmāla的当代版本的背景。这些版本是根据最近发现的有问题的作品以及随后在马拉雅拉姆文学史上的恢复而出版的。我认为,编辑们呈现这种恢复的具体方式,包括他们在马拉雅拉姆文学形成过程中声称的这个作品的特定位置,构成了与正在进行的关于如何最好地代表喀拉拉邦的文化身份和地区历史的辩论有关的一般历史写作的竞争行为。

How Real Is Hunger? 饥饿有多真实?
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-09-30 DOI: 10.12797/cis.23.2021.01.03
Justyna Kurowska
The present paper looks at a fictional account of the Bengal famine of 1943 in order to locate relevant historical information regarding a specific period of time (Chatterjee 2014) and identify elements that would allow it to be read as an example of the ‘prose of the world’ in Ranajit Guha’s understanding of the term (Guha 2002). The narrative of Amr̥tlāl Nāgar’s Bhūkh is framed through author’s recourse to his own experience, artistic and historical research, lived emotions and personal feeling of urgency to record the event. By repeatedly raising the claim of authenticity of his testimonial, Nāgar unwittingly draws us into an investigation of his relationship with the main narrator and the protagonist of his work. This, in turn, reveals the absence of clarity on the part of the author—he seems in two minds when discussing the role of the elites in making of the famine and is unable to either criticise or justify their failure to act. Further, the paper investigates social reality presented in the novel; the naturalistic, progressive aesthetics used in the description of the embodied violence of hunger; and the portrayal of the protagonist whose vantage point makes the story significantly detached from the ‘masses’ depicted variously as insects or savages, driven by hunger and hunger only. Principal focaliser’s upper-caste perspective allows him to feel superior to the less fortunate ‘skeletons’ and ultimately justify his survival by saving a seemingly upper cast infant, the action understood by him as equal to saving the entire human race. However, to my mind, the reality of hunger presented by the protagonist is conventional, self-centred, and lacks in-depth social criticism.
本文着眼于1943年孟加拉饥荒的虚构故事,以便找到特定时期的相关历史信息(Chatterjee 2014),并确定可以将其作为Ranajit Guha对该术语的理解(Guha 2002)中“世界散文”的例子的元素。Amr ā tlāl Nāgar 's Bhūkh的叙述是通过作者对自己的经历,艺术和历史研究,生活情感和个人迫切需要记录事件的感觉来构建的。通过反复提出他的证言的真实性,Nāgar不知不觉地把我们带入了他与主要叙述者和他的作品的主角的关系的调查。这反过来又揭示了作者的不清晰——他在讨论精英在造成饥荒中的作用时似乎犹豫不决,既无法批评他们的失败,也无法为他们的失败辩护。接着,对小说所呈现的社会现实进行了考察;用自然主义的、进步的美学来描述饥饿所体现的暴力;对主角的刻画,他的优势使故事明显地脱离了“大众”,被描绘成昆虫或野蛮人,被饥饿驱使,只有饥饿。主要聚焦者的高种姓视角让他觉得自己比那些不幸的“骷髅”更优越,并最终通过拯救一个看似高种姓的婴儿来证明自己的生存,他认为这一行动等于拯救了整个人类。然而,在我看来,主人公所呈现的饥饿现实是常规的,以自我为中心的,缺乏深入的社会批判。

The Living Tree: Kr̥ṣṇā Sobtī’s Pre-Partition Punjab and the “Other History” 活树:Kr æ ṣṇā sobt ' s分治前的旁遮普与“他者历史”
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-09-30 DOI: 10.12797/cis.23.2021.01.05

Historical fiction covers a wide range of texts and presents a large variety of views on the subject of history. It is often seen as a way of narrating history from a perspective ignored by academic historiography, thus offering an alternative narrative of the past. This other way of writing history, namely by way of literary texts, is not always conscious or openly acknowledged. In her essays on literature, the Hindi writer Kr̥ṣṇā Sobtī (1925–2019) clearly formulates her views on the role of the writer when she commits herself to represent the past, differentiating her role from that of a historian per se. Personally, as a writer, she is primarily interested in the perception of time of the people of a region and their understanding of their own past transmitted through tales, songs and other media; this constitutes what Sobtī calls the “other history”, a notion close to Jan Assmann’s “mnemohistory”. Through the example of Sobtī’s magnum opus, Zindagīnāmā, this paper explores what this specific way of narrating history reveals about the rural society of the pre-Partition Punjab.
历史小说涵盖了广泛的文本,呈现了对历史主题的各种各样的观点。它通常被视为一种从学术史学所忽视的角度叙述历史的方式,从而提供了对过去的另一种叙述。另一种书写历史的方式,即通过文学文本,并不总是被意识到或公开承认。在她的文学论文中,印度作家Kr ā ṣṇā sobt ā(1925-2019)明确阐述了她对作家在致力于代表过去时所扮演的角色的看法,将她的角色与历史学家本身区分开来。就个人而言,作为一名作家,她主要感兴趣的是一个地区人民对时间的感知,以及他们通过故事、歌曲和其他媒体传播的对自己过去的理解;这就构成了索伯特所说的“他者历史”,这个概念接近于扬·阿斯曼的“记忆历史”。本文以索毕的巨著《Zindagīnāmā》为例,探讨这种特殊的历史叙述方式所揭示的旁遮普分治前的乡村社会。

Through the example of Sobtī’s magnum opus, Zindagīnāmā, this paper explores what this specific way of narrating history reveals about the rural society of the pre-Partition Punjab.","PeriodicalId":36623,"journal":{"name":"Cracow Indological Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42818329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benoy Kumar Sarkar was both a serious scholar of history and society and a spokesman who wanted to promote ideas of equality between East and West and highlight the secular achievements of the Hindus. He has been hailed as a pioneer of Neo-Indology, a premature postcolonial sociologist, a conservative nationalist and an anti-colonial internationalist. Elements of several ideologies can be found in his writings. This article assesses his critique of orientalist constructions of East and West, the features of Hinduism and Buddhism and their influence overseas, the peculiarities of nationalism and Hindu-Muslim relations in India and the conservative, authoritarian and cosmopolitan elements in his writings on nationalism and international affairs.
