खास तौर पर मूर्तिशिल्पों की वजह से। भारतीय इतिहास की सबसे प्रसिद्ध&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;मूर्तियाँ यहाँ संगृहीत &lt;span class=""&gt;हैं। &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5376330718724448934-1133224182922603264?l=kala-prayojan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/feeds/1133224182922603264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post_23.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5376330718724448934/posts/default/1133224182922603264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5376330718724448934/posts/default/1133224182922603264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post_23.html' title='मथुरा म्यूज़ियम :  एक ऐतिहासिक शिल्प-धरोहर :'/><author><name>hemant shesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14694725282954331603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SYgWQIulhEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_ZQ9WKRZFTM/S220/Hemantshesh.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SfAN-ACFzoI/AAAAAAAAAYI/VoZYurZEJFU/s72-c/DSC00222.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376330718724448934.post-6837961998512323279</id><published>2009-04-15T18:06:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-05-04T20:47:33.526+05:30</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SeXVF5m1HwI/AAAAAAAAAYA/YcDSJvdtn30/s1600-h/Vishnu+Prabhakar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324896431775227650" style="WIDTH: 260px;

Most obviously, the Hindi-Hindu connection is very much in the thick of contemporary political debates, sparked by the rising tide of Hindutva, which spill over into the literary world. The endorsement of the slogan Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan by the influential contemporary &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Marxist critic Namvar Singh (in the October-December 1997 issue of the journal "Kala Prayojan," published from Udaypur) provoked a polemic reaction in "Hamsa", as a selling out of Marxism to Hindutva forces. (24)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;In such a context, Nirala's political ideas take on a new dimension. For example, Nirala's poem "Ram ki Sakti Puja" (1936) has been criticized for being reactionary and for reinforcing orthodox Hindu feudal forces, in an article in which the author deplores the lack of solidarity of Marxist literary critics with the Dalit cause.

Both in Europe and in India there was an older tradition of dissent.  Indeed, both Marx and Freud emerge as two powerful examples of modernity’s internal critique.  However, it is from an older, spiritual centre that I wish to draw my strength.  In the West, this tradition included various figures like Blake, Goethe, Carlyle, Dickens, Emerson, Thoreau, Ruskin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Weil, and so on.  These figures are varied in their response, but have one common thread running through their work.  They use religion, mysticism, spirituality, or literature to critique modernity.  That is, they do not attack modernity on its own terms as Marx or Freud does, but invoke from within Europe, alternative traditions of epistemology and metaphysics.  This “other mind of Europe,” can, as Gandhi realised, serve as a useful ally in our own quest for selfhood.  In India, we find a critique of modernity from its very inception.  Gandhi’s Hind Swaraj (1909) is perhaps the most powerful and far-reaching of these critiques.  Now, can we argue that Hind Swaraji is postmodern?  I would prefer to think of it as anti-modern, neo-traditional.  Yet it does share and anticipate some of the criticisms mounted by postmodernism later.&lt;br /&gt;              In other words, I argue that we do not need postmodernism to critique modernity; we can use critical traditionalism better.  Indeed, historically speaking, we in India have never fully accepted or internalised modernity.  That is why we need not debunk it as urgently as the postmodernists have to.&lt;br /&gt;              In the second part of my paper, I offer a serious critique of postmodernist relativity or anomie from the point of view of Indian critical thinkers like Gandhi and Aurobindo.  The latter spoke of an “antinomian tendency” that constantly recurs in the life of Europe.  But instead of going above the normative and authoritarian regime of rationality, it instead plunges into anarchy and nihilism, denying all ethical obligations in its search of vital freedom.  I argue, therefore, that the various expressions of the postmodern condition “in their very poignant cry for total emancipation, actually result in legitimating various kinds of irresponsibility.”  That is why such free play is available only in the most secure and materially advanced nations of the world, where like spoilt children of late capitalism, these philosophers can make a mess which others must clean up.  Postmodernity, in other words, rides piggy back on the most oppressive features of modernity, just as globalisation needs missiles and racist visa regimes for its survival.  The free flow of capital is promoted, but the movement of labour is strictly curtailed.  This is the paradox of the postmodern condition.  It’s anit-foundationalism itself becomes a pseudo-foundation which only entraps us in the prison house of language.  This is a chakravyuva into which we may well know how to enter, but not how to get out. --Makarand Paranjape, is a Professor of English at Jawaharlal Nehru University's Centre for English at the School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies. ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5376330718724448934-740356095233166149?l=kala-prayojan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/feeds/740356095233166149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/2009/02/makarand-parajape-writes-in-his-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5376330718724448934/posts/default/740356095233166149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5376330718724448934/posts/default/740356095233166149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kala-prayojan.blogspot.com/2009/02/makarand-parajape-writes-in-his-blog.html' title='Makarand Parajape writes in his blog :'/><author><name>hemant shesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14694725282954331603</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SYgWQIulhEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_ZQ9WKRZFTM/S220/Hemantshesh.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376330718724448934.post-5409674294599602382</id><published>2009-02-04T14:49:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-10-03T08:55:05.973+05:30</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SYleL1YoERI/AAAAAAAAAHw/PfWDO9vdzow/s1600-h/Desire.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298869993980039442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0cpXSK-LfE/SYleL1YoERI/AAAAAAAAAHw/PfWDO9vdzow/s400/Desire.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;e have just published the GOLDEN JUBILEE special number of West Zone Cultural Center, Udaipur's quarterly bilingual-magazine &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"KALA-PRAYOJAN" &lt;/span&gt;consisting of worth preserving articles on Literture, Modern Art, Indian Classical Music, Impact of globalization on futre Art, Contemporary and traditional Theatre, Cyber Art, and film। Our contributors of this number are Dr. Kamal Kishore Goyanka, Dr. Kumar Vimal, Dr. Rammurty Tripathi, Kalanath Shastry, Vijay Verma, Girish Rastogi, Alex Colvin,, Jahangir Sabawala, Manmohan Saral, Nihar Ranjan Rajah, Dr. Kavita Chakravarty, Sandhya Sen, Praytaksha, (Late) Dinesh Chandra Sharma, H.
