Modernity in Girish Karnad’s The Dreams of Tipu Sultan

Shivaji Shankar Kamble

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Modernity is one of the most invaluable values and important insignias of society and literature. Infact, it is a process of change, evolution and development. But it should be based on rationality, a progressive thought and should aim at achieving a decent standard of living of all the people. It means that modernity means a way of life and a mode of thinking. However, each society as a small replica of vast universe, wants change and transformation, which, can not be achieved by emphasizing the traditional way of life, nor it can be acquired merely by blind beliefs, adaptation or borrowing things from the west or elsewhere. Therefore, it requires change in action, opinions, beliefs, conventions, modes of thinking, social behaviour, social structure and other values. Thus ‘change-continuity’ lies at the core of any modern society.
