    Comparative study of Class Struggle in Urban and Rural societies from the novels The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and Kankan da Katlam by Ram Sarup Ankhi
    (Central University of Punjab, 2018) Singh, Harpreet; Saini Alpna
    The present study deals with the issues of the social division of different classes in society as upper and lower class on the economic bases. The division further leads to the dependency of lower classes on upper classes for basic needs which accounts for the subjugation of lower classes. The scenario of class struggle is different in the metro cities as depicted by Adiga in The White Tiger as compared to the agrarian society depicted in Ram Sarup Ankhi's Kankan da Katlaam. The comparative study deals with the similarities and differences in the portrayal of both the writers.

    Historico-mythical analysis of girish karnad's tugh laqhlaq and swarajbir's krishna
    (Central University of Punjab, 2013) Disha; Saini, Alpana
    The present study proposes to do the comparative analysis of two plays- Tughlaq by Girish Karnad and Krishna by Swarajbir. Both the playwrights go back to ancient sources to conceive their plays. Karnad exploits the history of intelligent, sharp but unsuccessful Muslim ruler Tughlaq who is popularly known as "mad Muhammad". Swarajbir has used the mythical and historical character of Krishna to construct his play. The thread that unites both the plays is the negotiation of mythical and historical personages used in the plays with the contemporary reality. Both the plays transcend the periods they belong to and emerge as examples of metaphoric depiction of modern times. This study explores how these plays are charged with a contemporary flavour and to analyse these texts from a poststructuralist perspective comprising of various streams of thought such as archetypal criticism, Marxism, Historicity, Discourse analysis, Culture Studies and Gender Studies that further allow the texts to unravel and allow for a multifaceted research.
