This article delves into the multiple layers of oppression and discrimination faced by the female protagonists and situates the play within the broader context of postcolonial Indian society. Tendulkar, through his audacious characters and narratives, throws light on the deep-rooted patriarchal norms that dictate female subjugation. The central figure, Sakharam Binder, is both a product and propagator of these entrenched societal beliefs. As a man who provides shelter to destitute women in exchange for domestic and sexual services, Sakharam becomes the embodiment of male entitlement and dominance. The women in his life, including Laxmi and Champa, become representative of the countless women whose identities are stifled by a male-centric worldview. Laxmi, the submissive, and Champa, the defiant, are instrumental in demonstrating the spectrum of female experiences under the weight of patriarchal constructs. While Laxmi's meek surrender highlights the internalization of patriarchal values, Champa’s rebellion underscores the dire consequences women face when challenging the status quo. Tendulkar masterfully juxtaposes these characters to critique the ways in which society polices and punishes deviance from gendered expectations. The spatial dynamics within Sakharam's house serve as a potent metaphor for the wider societal space where women are confined, controlled, and commodified. The narrative underscores how economic dependency and cultural conditioning become tools of subjugation, forcing women into cycles of exploitation. Tendulkar’s sharp, unflinching portrayal of the social and sexual exploitation of women demands introspection and reform, making the play a significant contribution to postcolonial Indian literature and feminist discourse. The play provides the various themes and concerns related the middle-class psyche.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139307167","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}

In Bernard Malamud’s novel The Fixer the central character, Yakov Bok, undergoes a compelling journey. This journey takes us through the turbulent world of Tsarist Russia where a Jewish individual is fraught with hardships. In fact, Bok’s odyssey reveals the profound challenges inherent in the existence of a Jewish man within the societal context. This paper aims at dissecting the profound transformation of Yakov Bok against the backdrop of a society rife with prejudice and injustice. It also broods over how Bok’s journey, marked by unjust imprisonment and enduring suffering, catalyzes his evolution from an ordinary Jew to an extraordinary human being. Yakov Bok emerges as a heroic figure, staunchly confronting the systemic victimization of innocent individuals within the complexities of his society. Further this research article explores how the immediate context of the novel is resonating with universal themes of human struggle and resilience. Yakov Bok’s narrative serves as a powerful allegory for the broader human experience, emphasizing the enduring relevance of these themes in contemporary society. The article elucidates the painful existence of a Jewish protagonist by portraying his life’s trajectory as a metaphor for poignant dilemmas confronting humanity in the current era. Within this intricate narrative, His tough journey is marked by the endurance of profound adversities notwithstanding his impeccable innocence in a criminal charge. At the same time, it traces his metamorphosis from an unremarkable Jew into a formidable luminary. What it finally affirms is that the freedom to live is not merely the freedom to experience, but also ironically the freedom to struggle and even to suffer.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139309315","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}

Chughtai’s courage to deal with taboo subjects such as homosexuality and lesbianism at one level offended the conservative society, and at another voiced the actual prevalence of sexual practices that are still denounced and undermined. Several other issues about Butler’s and Wittig’s theorization will be examined through rigorous textual analysis of this story which is narrated from the perspective of a teenage girl who can be considered a symbol of the homophobic social and cultural milieu. The story brings to light the subject of female sexuality and the presence of repressed sexual desires of females in a heteronormative marriage which paves the way to homosexuality and breaks the patriarchal barriers of a claustrophobic society. Through the characters of Nawab Saheb and Begum Jaan, Chughtai foregrounds “the distinction between the “naturally given, normative ‘self’ of heterosexuality and the rejected ‘other’ of homosexuality” as well as dismantles the conventional notion of marriage.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139309358","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}

Being a manifestation of divinity himself, Shri Krishna served as a central figure within the Mahabharata narrative— guiding the Pandavas and imparting timeless wisdom through his discourse, the Bhagavad Gita. This exposition immerses itself in exploring the many dimensions that compose the character portrayal of Shri Krishna. Through a thorough examination of his inherent traits, varied involvements, and extraordinary divine playings, this work seeks to shed light on what makes him a captivating figure. It particularly emphasizes his strategic acumen, which enabled him to navigate complexities threading throughout Mahabharata’s storyline, ensuring righteous support offered towards Pandava’s camp and thereby fostering Dharma’s preservation. Lessons surrounding responsibilities, ethics, and virtuousness sent forth from verses contained within the Bhagavad Gita continue inspiring generations. Shri Krishna’s relationships, mainly his bond with Arjuna and the devotion of Radha, exemplify the intense connections he forms with individuals. The paper also explores the legacy and impact of Shri Krishna, emphasizing his influence on Indian philosophy and spirituality. His teachings continue to inspire millions, promoting universal love, harmony, and selfless service. The enduring worship of Shri Krishna reflects the timeless appeal and significance of his character in contemporary times.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139308849","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}

Bengali Dalit literature has become a powerful tool for social and political action. It provides counter-narratives that talk about their experiences and realities. Bangla Dalit literature depicts the lives of refugees with sensitivity and empathy, emphasizing the struggles and resilience of those displaced from their homes and communities due to political, social and economic factors. The term “refugee” refers to a person who has been forced to flee their country of origin. A large part of the population had to leave their homes and migrate from East Bengal to West Bengal as part of the Partition of Bengal, mainly due to the communal tension. However, most of the refugees who migrated to West Bengal during the Bangladesh Liberation Movement in 1971 were mainly Dalits or other marginalized communities who faced discrimination and oppression in their homeland. Jatin Bala, one of the eminent Dalit writers and one of the refugees, himself reflected the pain and suffering of these Bengali Dalit refugees, on the other hand, Allen Ginsberg, the famous American writer Ginsburg, who visited Bangladesh amid the conflict, he also paints a sad picture of the loss of these Bengali refuges in his long poem “September On Jossor Road”. This study aims to carry out a comparative study of the representations of the two authors about these refugees.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139309289","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}

Revathi’s autobiography transcends the boundaries of a mere autobiographical narrative, as it assumes the role of a seminal work that enriches our comprehension of the intricate dynamics pertaining to gender, caste, and social marginalization within the context of India. It serves as a poignant testament to the resilience and defiance of an Indian transwoman amidst socio-cultural adversities. Through the utilization of a narrative approach characterized by a combination of intimacy and directness, Revathi effectively elicits emotional and intellectual engagement from the reader, thereby transforming her story into a compelling and evocative plea for action. The author’s emphasis on topics such as intersectionality and social stigma renders this piece essential for individuals with an inclination towards gender studies, social justice, and Indian culture. The present article critically examines Revathi's voice as an instrument of both resistance and revelation. On one hand, her story confronts and critiques the entrenched societal norms that perpetuate discrimination against the hijra community. On the other, it illuminates the internal struggles and moments of epiphany that define her personal journey of self-realization. The article sheds light on the sociocultural dynamics that intertwine with Revathi's identity as a hijra, her caste background, and her positioning within the broader Indian sociopolitical milieu. This research article accentuates the autobiography's significance in amplifying marginalized voices, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on gender, identity, and human rights in the contemporary Indian context.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139309376","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}

Collective sorrow, displacement, and trauma are preserved in the texts of exile testimonio. They recall the past and use that information to imagine or describe their ideal house. De-territorialization provides communities of exile Testimonio with a wellspring of fresh ideas. Historically, people have associated the idea of home with a certain country or region. The emergence of exile testimonio is a strong indication that the notion of home has expanded beyond its traditional one-dimensional and geographical confines. Members feel they have a duty to work together to protect and improve the places they call home. People in any society will always need to rely on one another to fulfill their various requirements. The issue of land alienation has been made worse by incomplete and unreliable land records in a complete state. Since the tribal people tend to be quite trustworthy in both their informal and formal interactions and since they are often deeply in debt, they are often the ones who alienate their land. Tribes have always been marginalized due to the economic interests of more powerful groups. It is important to keep in mind that tribes are embedded inside Indian society, making the issues of purposefully altering or modernizing Indian society broadly relevant to them as well.

Indian academics and literary sphere owe a rich tradition of such all-round competence of certain eminent personalities who having a commanding deft in their professional discipline flaunts an equal skill in a discipline of a different language. Many a shining name like Firaq Gorakpuri, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Ram Villas Sharma, Madhav Kaushik, Anamika, Ashok Vajpayee and lastly, but not the least, to mention the name of Gitanjali Shree is a strong testimony that Indian intelligentsia is multidisciplinary. In the current monograph the author intends to analyze certain features in the dialectics of South Asian literature in Gitanjali Shree’s Booker Award winning work of Ret Samadhi, Tomb of Sand. One sole purpose of this investigation is to ascertain accuracy in her portrayal of Indian society in 21st century. If this portrayal conforms to the tradition of early Booker winner writers like Rushdi, Naipaul, Adiga, Desai and Roy or it has modulated the depiction of South Asian society with a distinguished prying into it. One of the arch constituents of South Asian dialectics is a vivid sketch of society with all its chores and an imitative representation of the entire zeitgeist. From this perspective how well, the authoress has succeeded in foregrounding the apparent and subterranean reality has to be weighed in this paper. There is an easily perceptible thread of commonality in almost all Indian Booker winner writers that is to expose even the hidden vulnerabilities of Indian society and to ignore even the most conspicuous beauties of it. Is Gitanjali also treading on the same path or she has her own trajectory with some distinction is another intent of this research paper.","PeriodicalId":370788,"journal":{"name":"The Creative Launcher","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139307604","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}
