Girish Karnad, one of the best living Indian playwrights, is a flexible virtuoso. His ascent as an unmistakable dramatist in the 1960s denoted the happening time of Modern Indian Playwriting in Kannada. Throughout the previous four decades, Girish Karnad has been creating plays, frequently utilizing history and folklore to handle contemporary issues. In this book, I have tried to justify my title, “Girish Karnad: A Chronicler” As I am especially keen on the plays of Girish Karnad, I endeavored to gather all the basic translations of his plays to comprehend him insightfully. I have picked major works of him translated into English incorporating his plays in which he almost goes to an elusive land of history and legend. This book presented in six parts. My endeavour is to examine the utilization of legend in the plays of Girish Karnad. Girish Karnad has appropriately seen that our fantasies oversee the awareness of Indians, and even their fundamental demeanours towards regular daily existence are affected by the considerable stories; The Ramayana, The Mahabharatha, The Bhagavata, the Puranas, and story cycles like the Jataka Tales, Panchatantra, Kathasaritsagara, Vikramadityacharita, and others, which are loaded with the legends of our nation. In this way, Karnad found that utilizing fantasies to manage contemporary issues was a certain method to catch the creative energy of the groups of onlookers and attract their thoughtfulness regarding crucial issues of present-day times.

Research on Indian culture and society has been conducted from a dizzying range of perspectives. However, in recent decades it has been particularly characterized by a change in focus from the past to the present; from the worldview of the élites to that of the subalterns; from philosophy to everyday life; and from hierarchy to the critiques of hierarchy and the sources of equality in Indian culture. More dramatic than the changes in the focus of research are the changes in Indian society itself. Urbanization, the liberalization and globalization of the economy, the IT revolution, the success of the global Indian diaspora, the affirmation of religious identities and reaffirmation of ancient world views, reinterpretations of history, new medias and transnational megagurus, and new political landscapes denote some of these processes. This new title from Routledge makes sense of these changes by bringing together the very best scholarly work on India's contemporary transformation. As the world's largest democracy emerges as an economic and cultural superpower, there is a pressing need for a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of Indian culture and society. This four-volume collection answers that need and will be welcomed as a vital one-stop research resource

What would it mean to conceive of the sacred as a source of knowledge that is as vital as the secular? What insights does a contemplative approach yield in analysing neoliberal globalisation or Hindu fundamentalism? Is a dew drop sacred, or is it secular? In today’s charged atmosphere many believe that the sacred is best kept firmly apart from the realm of the secular. SacredSecular: Contemplative Cultural Critique offers a contrasting view. It argues that the two are indivisible and can productively interweave in illuminating key contemporary issues. Essays investigate the quotidian (trash, cut flowers), the philosophical (advaita, karma), the economic (work, globalisation) and the political (war, violence). Mani invites us to rethink the prevailing view that secularism is the only progressive response to religious authoritarianism. SacredSecular proposes a conceptual approach in which body, mind, heart, nature, matter and spirit are not merely equals, but equally crucial to crafting an inclusive vision and practice. This book addresses several audiences: scholars of contemporary Indian society and culture, spiritual practitioners striving to integrate their practice with their politics, and all those interested in contemplating the present and what it portends for our collective future.

This book is a detailed study of the Indian graphic novel as a significant category of South Asian literature. It focuses on the genre’s engagement with history, memory and cultural identity and its critique of the nation in the form of dissident histories and satire. Deploying a nuanced theoretical framework, the volume closely examines major texts such as The Harappa Files, Delhi Calm, Kari, Bhimayana, Gardener in the Wasteland, Pao Anthology, and authors and illustrators including Sarnath Banerjee, Vishwajyoti Ghosh, Durgabai Vyam, Amrutha Patil, Srividya Natarajan and others. It also explores — using key illustrations from the texts — critical themes like contested and alternate histories, urban realities, social exclusion, contemporary politics, and identity politics. A major intervention in Indian writing in English, this volume will be of great importance to scholars and researchers of South Asian literature, cultural studies, art and visual culture, and sociology.

During the last decades research on India has gone through a number of changes in focus and perspectives. To name but a few examples, there has been a change in focus from the past to the present, from the world view of the elites to that of the subalterns, from philosophy to everyday life, from hierarchy to the critiques of hierarchy and the sources of equality in Indian culture. However, more dramatic than the changes in the focus of research are the changes in Indian society itself. Urbanization, the liberalization and globalization of the economy, the IT revolution, the success of the global Indian diaspora, the affirmation of religious identities and reaffirmation of ancient world views, reinterpretations of history, new medias and transnational mega gurus, and new political landscapes denote some of these processes. This collection focuses on this shift by presenting recently published articles and book extracts on India and the contemporary transformation of the Indian society. As the world's largest democracy is emerging as an economic and cultural superpower, there is an increased need for knowledge about it.
