Analysis Of The Poem ' Hayavdana ' The Horse Man '

The Caste system has aroused much controversy than any other feature of India’s society. Every day, Dalits are butchered, assaulted, abused, raped, lynched, shot or openly mutilated without considering any consequences of the offenders. The deaths of pregnant women who are not able to pay the bribes at government hospitals, some boys with eyes raised completely out for falling in love with a girl of a superior caste, and horrid stories of employees boiled to death because of spewing out arguments with the boss are continuously reported in mainstream newspapers. After years of democracy, the social structure stands to practice the caste system disregarding abolishment laws. Every international or national effort to abolish caste differentiation and segregation has been proven ineffective. The caste system of India is a deeply inculcated social problem requiring immense commitment domestically and internationally in understanding what has stopped the measures to get rid of this ancient system and what measures are needed to complete elimination of the system.

     There is also a message about the relationship with, and abuse of, nature. This new chance for a more peaceful existence works on the assumption that the horses are there voluntarily.

There is also therein a warning that the world cannot work where one force is overpowering, such as technology or the reign of man.

In Zora Neale Hurtson’s ethnography, Tell My Horse (1938), she uses her research and field notes from her year in the Caribbean islands to study how the political atmosphere and culture tie into the religion of Vodoun. Being one of the first in her field to study this religion, Hurston hoped to expand research upon the subtle nuances within the African diaspora and increase the people of Caribbean’s acceptance of their African identity. In doing so, Hurtson found her research discouraged the idea of Pancaribbeanism and diminished stereotypes of Vodoun being a religion based upon only evil possession and pagan sacrifice.

Mahasweta Devi’s short story, “Giribala,” is about the life of Giribala, a girl of Talsana village located in India. Born into a caste in a time when it was still customary to pay a bride-price, Giri is sold to Aulchand by her father. From this point on, we see a series of unfortunate, tragic events that take place in Giri’s life as a result of the circumstances surrounding Giri’s life. There are many issues in Giri’s life in India that Devi highlights to readers. First, the economic instability of the village leads to an extremely poor quality of life for the lower, working classes. Next, the cruel role of women determined by men in society is to either satisfy the sexual desires of men or to reproduce offspring who can work or be sold off to marriages. There are also other social norms and beliefs which discriminate against women that will be discussed.

In his essay, “Horse and Gentlemen,” T.H. Breen describes the cultural significance of gambling, specifically in relation to the quarter-horse races, in late 17th century Virginia. Breen primarily argues that the three main aspects of gambling – competitiveness, materialism, and individualism – reflected and reinforced the socio-economic structure of Virginia in this period. The high stakes wagers of the affluent planters reinforced their dominant status in the social structure and the gentry’s right to rule over this colony. Breen’s argument to this effect is supported by letters, court transcripts, documentation of wagers, and other written first-hand accounts. Breen’s case for the cultural significance of gambling has persuasive arguments for its representation of competitiveness and materialism. However, his argument for individualism has contrary elements and his essay would have been improved with the inclusion of women’s role in the gambling culture.

The caste system, which was evolved throughout 1612-1947 due to British colonisation, supresses the majority of India’s citizens through a rigid, hereditary social hierarchy; this is especially evident to the 180 000 000 citizens trapped as Dalits, commonly known as Untouchablesheyya. Balram uses simple allegories to describe to Western Readers how the oppressed castes are “the flesh and organs of a recently chopped up chicken”heyya. Therefore it is evident how Balram uses the image if a rooster coop to represent how Indians are trapped and exploited through their castes. There is a lack of freedom for citizens, as any movement to step out of their caste leads not only to the punishment of the individual, but also to the punishment of their relations. This strict rule of government has created fear within India, “They do not rebel. They do not try to get out of the coop”heyya. Up to this point, it is possible for readers to neglect the correlation between the roosters and the citizens of India. Adiga works to display the oppression of the chickens, as “the same thing is done with human beings”heyya. The imagined allegory, which before was nothing more than a concise metaphor, is now directly used to represent the reality of India’s caste oppression. However, it is important to note that Balram does not fully criticize this theory, as he believes the lower classes

In the story “The Horse and His Boy” by C.S. Lewis, there is a clear theme that is shown many times throughout the story through examples and author’s craft in this fantasy world.

The theme is laid out as sometimes having to work with different, challenging people is required to reaching a goal.

The nation of India operates on a caste system which is a form of “social class” structure from birth. For example, if you were born “poor” you will always be “poor” and vice versa. “The caste system in India is quite rigorous, boasting 3,000 castes and 25,000 subcastes; memberships range between the hundreds and the millions. India’s caste system originated in Hinduism, but other religious groups in India subscribe to similar systems (Gale 2001). Word Count: 90
