1.What do you think about truth, fact, fiction, lies etc when it comes to make opinion about literature?
Respected sir,
Here by I am sharing my views about given topic.
When we talk about literature it seems like there were more fictions than truth or reality. As Plato said that "literature is twice removed from reality" it can not be considered for all types of literature but there are lies which are placed in literature. As currently the movie "padmavat" is talk of town but they are twice or perhaps thrice remove from reality bcoz there are layers of lies or you can say "Alternative facts" which considered as truth.
As Ursula K. Le Guin said that,“Alternative facts are not new. In fact, they are necessary when creating an alternative universe, a universe where the natural laws we know no longer apply or are inconvenient to the storyteller”. So we can say that lies are also good or useful when we wants to creat certain impact on others but when we talk about literature it seems different. Fiction doesn't mean that every time that lies but it also can be possible that it is useful or gave morals or ways to people to live life. Or you can say it can give happiness to people which they aren't able in real life to achieve.
So fiction can remove from reality but at the same time it shows many different things in one. Every time it is not harmful some times it heals also.
Thank you
2.How far can you dis|agree with the views expressed? Give your arguments in context of Cultural Studies and Postcolonialism to support your opinion.
When someone from another country came out and spoke about their problems and loopholes then we people think that this is the right thing to do but when same thing done by our own country's person then we make binaries there that, that person has no respect for country but this is not the right thing rather we should support them and help them to raise their voices than to band them.
People like Adiga when trys to give his views on dirty side of India then it can not be considered as good one and some people or political leaders have problems with them that they are putting bad image in front of new generation which is not true. Many examples like slumdog Millionaire then Malala yusufai and many more have the same problem that they are resisted because of their naked truths. As rightly said in article also that, "we find that these stories shame us, then we must do something about them. But for those of us still fixated on the ‘image’ issue, it’s quite simple really: you want better PR? Improve the product." instead of fixing the thing one should correct that, that is the right thing to be done.
Thank you.
3.Contemporary Debates and Mario Vargos Llosa
Respected sir,
Here by I am sharing my views about given topic.
Very deliberately moved your attention from truth to lies, which you can find in the given topic. I found quite interesting the topic or title of Llosa's article which is "Political correctness is the enemy of freedom". In the given article Llosa gave one question but perhaps there is answer also lies within the question and that is, "Are liberals condemned to walk alone?", he gave answer also here that some paths are meant to be alone or in other words meant to walk with yourself only.
Another interesting idea is, " An ideology is a secular religion." As India citizen we surely aware about many religions and disputes also but it can be far better that you give or respect any ideology or freedom than to bind yourself with any religion. This whole article is about idea of freedom or liberalism and in roof of that term he coined many terms and gave appropriate Defination also.
He gave another statement that, "Blindly, intellectuals have always seen democracy as a mediocre system that lacked the beauty, perfection and coherence of the big ideologies." which can be considered as right also, politics always mislead the freedom or liberalism.
This article or Llosa mainly focus on that things and not only Llosa but others like Heidegger, Nazi, Marx and many many more who wrote about that in one or other ways.
My personal views about this is that, it can be considered that or true that politics in one or other ways mislead or ruined the idea of thought of freedom or liberalism and if you see history till the date many writers being victim of this political correctness like ravish Kumar, gauri lankesh and many more like them who's names also not reveal to the world.
Thank you
4.Do you agree that this TV show is regressive as online petitioner Shobha Shrivastav thinks or is it progressive as actress Tejaswi Prakash believes?
respected sir,
This serial according to me is victimised by some people it doesn't mean that I am in favour but not in against also because in many serials before also there was a man who is bigger than girl in age and married with her and protect her for example balikavadhu in that series there one tauji who married with girl who is half of his age and that is quite accepted but here because girl is protecter then there is problem.
There is in that serial many rubbish thing also showing and that is quite not acceptable like that girl married with boy because of respect kind of thing or protect him but that can be also done without marriage.
this is my views..
thank you.
5.Oneness of literature
Respected sir,
Literary canon always concerned with three major themes "Life, Love and Death". World literature from ancient to present time has the same pattern and theme to express Human emotions and feelings, which is known as "Archetypal of Literature" according to Northrop Frye. In this short story 'A Joke', speaker tells to Girl 'Nadia' that 'I Love you'. But it was just a joke for him, which converts into lust at the end of the story. "Love" is the pure feeling of human heart that is always concerned as 'joke' by many people. Therefore it is not seen as 'Aesthetic' by orthodox society. Thus, automatically it converts into lust or seen as lust.
The famous poem "Waste Land" by T.S.Eliot is often criticized for the set of fragmentary pictures, a piece of literary carpentry, a sort of scholarly nonsense. All Europe is burning with lust and sexuality. A Game of chess suggests that sex has become a matter of intrigue, a source of momentary pleasure and benefit. Sex has became vulgarized and commercialized in The waste land. Sex-relation of the typist and the clerk is mere mechanical relationship that brings no satisfaction to them. there is also other kinds of relations such as homosexuality. It was Eve and Adam's obedience to the flesh that led to disobedience of God,fall of man or it results into sorrows and suffering of human world and spiritual death and decay. 'Spiritual Drought' is at the base of the poem. And lust is the responsible aspect for spiritual degeneration.
Thus, We find the 'Oneness' in all the literature because basic instinct is the same of human nature.
6.Atheism and Morality
Atheism is about not believeing in existence of God and oftenly we find that morality is associated with that where you find word God you find word Morality. but that is not necessary morality we can consider with truth where we find truth there morality exist. Atheism is something different that is mere a disbelief in God and that is individually personal one have faith in God and one have not. but morality is universal where there is truth there morality related. It also can be individual for all one thing might be morally right for one and that is morally wrong for another.
7.Can you add one or two more advantage/s of reading literature from your experience of studying literature for last 4/5 years.
Respected sir,
i agree with all four advantages of literature
It saves you time
It makes you nicer
It's cure for loneliness
It prepares you for failure
Literature prepares us for failure it is right that that gives us strength to fight from failure but apart from that,
It gives us strength to get reed of our problems
also give us senses that what is truth or what should be there and what not.
Literature helps us in many ways.
8.Post truth
As per my understanding Post truth is nothing but beyond the truth. Beyond the truth which we can see easily or which put in front of us in such a manner by we can convinced easily. there are many truths in society. truth is as per my view relative term everyone has their own truths. but the theory of post-truth is to look beyond the truth deconstruct truth and try to see what actually is there. there are many such things as politics in society which plays vital role in representing truths. post truth is about what is actually happening and what is shown to us. example for in politics things pun in different way than what really is.
