Abstract

The article aims to explore the issues of power relations and power struggle in Sarat Chandra Chatterjee’s novel, Palli Samaj from a Marxist perspective. The characters, Rama, Ramesh depicted in the novel represent the proletariat living in the Bengal region of India. Although these characters do not mention that they are driven by cultural hegemony, it is noticed that their psychology is embedded with cultural hegemony and class superiority. They are fighting for power. The study applies qualitative approach to research. The paper takes the ideology of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as the research tool to analyze the power relations in the novel and thereby in the Indian society. It can be noticed that almost all the characters in the novel are fighting for power. Palli Samaj attempts to demonstrate how social power functions to create and continue social domination and how it further creates social prejudices, cultural hierarchy and hegemony. The chief finding is that Indian rural life is dominated by the cruel, corrupt upper-class Zamindari order, landlords to dominate the innocent lower- class peasants. The paper is expected to stand as a reference to all the scholars interested in researching Chatterjee further.

Abstract

The present paper seeks to analyze resentment against racism and ethnic consciousness in Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala’s novel, Sumnima, from the theoretical perspectives of race and ethnicity advocated by mainly by Thomas Hylland Eriksen. This paper explores how the novel primarily delineates the conflict between the Aryans, the so-called hegemonic group, and non-Aryans, particularly Kirats and Bhillas, the subjugated marginal community, in the Nepalese society. The obvious reason for conflict is cultural or religious differences. The dominant Aryansin the novel think themselves superior to Kirats and Bhillas. They think that they are the civilized ones as they obtain divinity through hard penance and spiritual transformation, while non-Aryans are wild, uncivilized, and devoid of good culture. It is expected that the research will be a useful reference for the researchers intending to probe into the Nepalese literature from the perspective of cultural studies.
