Mythologizing the Mahatma
Discusses the relationship between mythic form and political content in Raja Rao's "Kanthapura".
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages) | 1 source | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper will argue that the tension between these two often contradictory levels of writing - the mythic/poetic and the political/prosaic - is the defining characteristic of the novel. As will be seen, this tension is both a strength and a weakness to the narrative; on the one hand enhancing its sheer readability as a story and on the other hand blurring readers' understanding of the realities of the Indian Independence struggle.
