WRANGLE AND DISSENT- REFLECTIONS IN REGIONAL LITERATURE: A STUDY ON ALLAM RAJAIAH’S SHORT STORIES
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The recent trends in literature traversing human rights are treated as an intellectual approach but the two are interdependent over a long period of time. The regional literature in India in general Telugu short fiction in particular, demonstrates the emergence of recent human rights ideals and sentiments catching the attention of National and International levels. The vibrant entanglement of the relation between literature and human rights challenges the existing situations in the rural and tribal areas of Telugu regions which reflected in the short stories of the contemporary writers. The present paper examines a few short stories of Allam Rajaiah which remain open questions to the state violence, blood thrust of power mongers, neglected voices of voiceless and raising the collected hands of poor and exploited against landlords. The intellectual and emotional attention of the characters, situations and the feelings closely reflect the multiple styles of suppression of the authorities over the common man through sentiments and by Indian Penal Code (IPC). The Human rights campaigns during 1970’s and 1980’s influenced the writer to put on words steering the narrative in the context of the human struggle to protect their rights and the rights of innocent tribal and rural uneducated people who are adapted to be browbeaten.
