Saraswativijayam
by Potheri Kunhambu (a dalit writer of the 19th century). Translated
from the Malayalam by Dilip Menon, pp. 128,
An arrogant Brahmin landlord causes the "death" of his
slave for the crime of singing a song in his presence. However,
in the time of colonial law, traditional society cannot cover up
its excesses. What is remarkable about Saraswativijayam is that
though the novel is written by a lower caste, the protagonist is
a Brahmin who undergoes a change of heart. Moreover, Kunhambu conceives
of the Brahmin and untouchable as a dyad, neither can find salvation
without moving out of the master-slave relation that traps them
in an unequal and unending combat. This is a profound vision of
the human condition.
Kanyasulkam
by Gurajada Venkata Appa Rao, a 19th century play. Translated from
the Telugu by C. Vijayasree and T. Vijay Kumar, pp. 288,
Gurajada Appa Rao's Telugu play Kanyasulkam was first staged in Vizianagaram
on August 13, 1892, and even now, after more than a century, it continues
to be performed occasionally in different towns and cities of Andhra
Pradesh.
Kanyasulkam deals not only with the evil practice of bride-price,
but also with several other, and perhaps inter-related, social issues
of the time child marriage, widow marriage, and the 'nautch question'.
The playwright's intent is serious, but his essential dramatic mode
is comedy. In creating both situational and verbal humour, the writer
traverses the whole gamut - farce, slapstick, burlesque, parody and
employs a range of comic devices-disguises, mimicry, charade. Through
humour and levity Gurajada foregrounds an encounter between tradition
and modernity that has not lost its relevance.
On
The Threshold: Songs of Chokhamela,
a collection of 54 songs of the 14th century dalit poet. Translated
from the Marathi by Rohini Mokashi-Punekar, pp. 96,
Chokhamela was a fourteenth century untouchable saint poet who belonged
to the varkari tradition of Maharashtra. This tradition was one of
the many sects that questioned orthodox Hinduism in the grat wave
of bhakti that swept over medieval India. The varkaris worship the
god Vitthal, another form of Krishna who himself is an avatar of Vishnu
in Hindu mythology. The temple for Vitthal is built on the banks of
the river Chandrabhaga in Pandharpur. The varkari tradition is a tradition
of belief and worship that is still a living part of the Marathi speaking
culture. Chokhamela's importance lies not only in the fact that he
is one of the first, if not the very first, dalit writers of India.
It is because his poetry records a peculiar dichotomy: his poignant
awareness and questioning of his outcaste marginality, simultaneously
coupled with a realization of vitthal's need and love for him, an
untouchable, that it assumes significance.
Is set around the 1604-1605, when the Mughal state
was still subduing the newly acquired province of Bengal, and it
weaves together events that take place across two cultural worlds.
The first is the caste Hindu worlds of the pilgrims, of Nabakumar,
Kapalakundala, the kapalika and the adhikari, and it turns on questions
on questions of love, marriage, womanly virtue, priestly and tantric
ritual, on the codes and conventions of Hindu marriage, and the
contrast between the householder's life and that of ascetic. Alongside
the insular provincial world there is the world of Agra and the
imperial court, which are the space of political expediency and
sexual license, of wealth, power, cunning and worldly sophistication.
