| Summary: | The modem period of Hindi Literature commences with the achievement of India's independence. Whilst Indian, and especially Hindi literature, has been inextricably bound to the ancient literary traditions and values, there have been distinct trends in different periods of Indian History. Kabir and Tulasidasa in the Bhakti period and Prasada and Premchand during the freedom struggle, made memorable contributions to Hindi literature as well as national life. Independence facilitated the focus of attention on hitherto marginalized and neglected sectors of society - the ""Little Man"", women's issues, questions of sexual morality, corruption in national life etc. All Hindi Literary modes imbibed new ideas and infused new life into Hindi literature. The first three decades of independence witnessed tremendous growth of Hindi literature. This paper will attempt to analyse the directions in which Hindi literature progressed over the past fifty years. The challenges of globalization, the social, political and economic implications of national and regional power conflicts and the role of writers therein are all crucial to this discourse. |
