About the Book:
In the early years of the millennium, the question of the literary character of the last decades of the 20th century becomes highly significant. If we look closely, Hindi literature began to open its eyes during the transformative moments of 1857. One of the biggest features of Hindi literature is its clarity of purpose. Its emotional and artistic aspects resonate with its form and nature, in tune with its importance. During the national movement, literature fulfilled its duty in fulfilling its social responsibility.
This book explores Hindi literature from three significant perspectives: pre-independence, during the independence struggle, and post-independence. The primary goal of pre-independence Hindi literature was not only to gain freedom but also to address vital social issues, impacted by global wars, British repression, and rampant illiteracy. Western philosophies such as liberalism, Marxism, and existentialism began to seep into the Hindi literary landscape.
With the achievement of independence, disillusionment soon crept into Hindi literature, especially after events such as the partition of India, the 1962 Sino-Indian War, and subsequent conflicts with Pakistan. These historical events left an indelible mark on literature.
This book explores these critical unanswered questions in an attempt to understand the trajectory of Hindi literature in the final decades of the 20th century. It asks what the future of Hindi literature holds and how it can preserve its autonomy amid external ideological influences. With pressures such as postmodernist ideologies, Hindi literature finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with its identity. This text seeks to address the challenges of preserving the core identity and autonomy of Hindi literature, even as external forces continue to shape it.
