This book deals with the interface between identity, culture and
literature. It aims at studying questions of cultural identity and
gender in Hindi plays of the 19th- and 20th- centuries and the
interplay of poetics and politics, as revealed in the work of
several influential playwrights. The book explores questions
related to the ways in which seven representative playwrights
imagine India and its identity and the ways, in which this concept
is revealed in the "narratives of the nation", its postcolonial
contentions and the politics of identity, as revealed in the
production of various cultural discourses. The chapters explore
various aspects of the ongoing process of constructing and
narrating culture, gender, the nation and identity. There has been
no monograph on the questions of cultural identity in Hindi drama.
This is a pioneering project and a desideratum in the field of
Hindi literature, South Asian Studies, and broadly, in the study of
theatre of India and of South Asian cultures and literatures.
