"Stories of Gajendrakumar Mitra Based on the Mahabharata in the Light of Reconstruction 'Yajnaseni' and 'Jara o Vasudev': A Brief Reading" Subrata Roy, Research Scholar, Department of Bengali, Gauhati University, Assam, India Dr. Jahnabi Das, Associate Professor, Department of Bengali, Lumding College, Assam, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
Bengali literature with its vastness
has enriched the literary minds of all times.Writers of various eras were
mesmerized by the epis Ramayana, Mahabharata , Puranas and myths. Even
today characters, events from those
influence the writers .They accept mythological events, characters or subject
matter and attempt to give them a new form through various literary genres.
This is recognized and considered as an innovative and curiosity-arousing
literary thought. Whatever terminology it may be used in literature—deconstruction,
recreation, reconstruction, re-reconstruction, etc.—the main proposition is
that within such a collection of creative works lies the technique of giving
the old a newly formed shape through new ways and new experimentation. The
writer Gajendrakumar Mitra is also such an artist who has broken the
Mahabharata from a modern scientific perspective, of which some of his novels
and short stories are the excellent examples. Although he has written several
myth- and Purana-centered short stories, if a few gem-like stories are selected
from among them, it will be seen that their subject matter (Theme), character
(Character), background (Background), etc. are from the Mahabharata, but the
plot of the story is the writer's own. In thought and feeling, they are
extremely modern and this deconstruction has occurred for the needs of the
narrative itself. As examples, the names of a few stories are given --
'Yajnaseni', 'Jara o Vasudev', 'Chhati Praner Mulya', 'Agnir Agnimandya',
'Gurur Prapya', 'Bhim-er Shiksha', 'Gangaputra', 'Homagni Sambhaba', etc. Among
these, taking only two as the basis, the main subject of the complete
discussion paper will be to bring out, in the light of Gajendrakumar Mitra's
new interpretation, the literary skill of collecting epic sources and
consciously applying them.
