It goes without saying that Rabindranath Tagore is perhaps the most outstanding and the most widely-known among Indian poets. Tagore, we must remember, was not only apoet, he was also a novelist, a short story writer, a dramatist, a painter, a musician and a critic of distinction. He wrote a large majority of his poems originally in Bengali, and translated some of them into English, but it is also on record that he wrote a few poems originally in English. Tagore’s novels and short stories are rightly looked upon as social or sociological documents because what he seeks to give us through them is a picture of the contemporary human society. In spite of the element of romanticism that we get there we may describe them realistic in their own right.

The dominant idiom of Indian writing today is firmly entrenched in pain, anxiety of displacement, nostalgia, yearning to belong to roots, and so on. Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things and Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss are two such novels that explore the tragedy of man on several levels using different perspectives. Both the novels are about averted culture-clash tragedies, homogeneity vs. heterogeneity, and about Indian sensibilities.

The literature around the world has different types of authors and each one of them with his own writing style. The period where they live affects their style because the writers are exposed to different circumstances and factors. The arrival of the Islamic religion influenced the Indian poetry. This changed the way how they thought and expressed through poetry, and according to K. S. Ram “The two important factors in the world of Kabir [post Islamic poet] (XV century) were: one, the change of the Vedantic religion dry, abstract intellectualism; and two, the fights between Hindus and Muslims had become a sad fact of everyday life.”. This essay will be focused on a comparison and contrast about the Indian poetry before and after the Islam.

Karnad , the writer as a creative genius and a cinematographic artist. He does not simply make us see, but makes us through camera. The difference between a cinema and a literary form, is seen obviously through medium viz. verbal and visual. The approach in Karnad’s play is essentially a visual where his inclination towards visualization of the scenes and settings create a cinematic interest. The regular adaptations from Indian literature in several languages for Indian cinema , no doubt , brings curiosity of interlinking of some of the past and traditional Indian implications of the Indian past and her glory. The preconceptions and belongingness to the theory of the principles of Indian origin or heritage certainly creates among audience the proud feeling of cherishing, respecting and reviving the ancient past of the primitive identity. As Flaubert says, “derive(s) almost voluptuous sensations from the mere act of seeing”. Karnad seems creating memorable situations through the convincing setting. He also applies full visual imagination and powers of description. He tried to direct the events with a keen determination to record fully and accurately a specific moment of perception. Arun Sajnani, the Director and the Screenplay writer Anil Mehta, have equally tried to judge Karnad’s determined principles of creating persons, scenes, setting and the motif as well.

The ‘Vande Mataram’ now nearly 145 years old resides in each Indian’s heart as the spirit of love for their motherland.

It is essentially a “prayer in which the nation 'Bharat' was described as 'The Mother'”. (Suresh)

Indian nationalism refers to the many underlying forces that molded the Indian independence movement, and strongly continue to influence the politics of India, as well as being the heart of many contrasting ideologies that have caused ethnic and religious conflict in Indian society.
