Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Nature not only nurtures and grips us to her breast but helps us to grow up according to her own wish. In order to save our lives, we come to her influence again and again. This instance has been reflected nicely in the novels of Bimal Shinha’s ‘Longtorai’ and Sudhanna Debbarma’s ‘Hachuk Khurio’ where the novelists have shown us how the tribes are badly affected on the arrival of the Bengali refugees and how their peaceful lives are being disturbed. They have dealt with the social, political and economical sides of the tribes of Tripura. Sudhanna Debbarma is the actual narrator of the lives and livelihood of the clans. His Novel Hachuk Khurio has depicted how the calm lives of the clans are being disgraced but by the same time it has portrayed how the renaissance was hasten in the lives of the tribes on the arrival of the Bengali refugees. The novel Longtari has described the main source of crisis in the lives of the tribes as their rejection of the jhum cultivation and the adaptation of the plain land cultivation in the scientific way. The novel has shown us two different pictures: one is the crisis in the livelihood and another is how to get rid of this crisis. In order to save their lives, they discarded the jhum cultivation and without having any scope of work anywhere they adopted the road repairing and brick-breaking work and became the daily labourer. Ultimately, the novelist has shown us how the clans using the benefits of science and technology were enabled to develop themselves and started to go ahead with the changing of time. The main motif of the present speaker is to highlight on the two mentioned novels by the two novelists.
