In recent years Violence has become a common phenomenon in India. It has engulfed the entire political, social, economic, cultural and even our personal lives. Violence of social justice and caste discriminations of complex characters have added additional burden to our society whereas we Indians have been specially advised to practice "non-violence".

It often intermingles with the most political, social, cultural, and class atrocity. So caste discriminations and atrocities against the socially weaker sections with age-old traditional and unconventional norms deserve a careful historical investigation.

One noteworthy aspect of this enduring battle is the commendable efforts made by numerous countries across Europe and Asia to enshrine principles of liberty and equality within their constitutions, particularly in regard to the rights of women. Over time, these nations have adapted and refined their laws and societal norms to better reflect the evolving needs and aspirations of their female citizens. However, amidst the progress and evolution seen in various parts of the world, Afghanistan stands as a poignant reminder of a nation where the journey towards gender equality and empowerment is still fraught with challenges. Attaining equal rights between the sexes-man and woman, has become a global phenomenon. Women across the world are chained under the patriarchal society and are still treated as the "weaker sex". They struggle to accomplish their target of achieving women's rights, respect, and proper recognition. This is because women's identity has been exploited and abused, which made them initiate and involved in a movement calling for women's liberation. The lives of women around the world are incredibly diverse, with significant variations in right and opportunities from one country to another. While all women inhabit the same planet, they face vastly different challenges and experiences. The concern of the study is to compare the lives of Afghan women to those in other Muslim majority countries and highlights their dire circumstances in the era of globalization, where there is no hope for betterment. The life of women in Afghanistan is filled with

today's increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, there is a pressing need to critically evaluate
the cultural dimensions and diversities of a new literary canon. As global literary landscapes continue to
evolve, the role of translation emerges as a pivotal factor in mediating cross-cultural literary experiences
and expanding the boundaries of literary canons. Translation plays a vital role in bridging the gap
between languages, ensuring that the originally felt emotions and perspectives are effectively
communicated. In the context of Indian literature, particularly Indian English literature, translation has
been integral, providing opportunities for audiences to understand diverse viewpoints. In the era of
globalization, translators are widely recognized as artists on par with authors in any genre. Henry
Wordsworth Longfellowhas excellentlydescribed the role of the translator: “A Translator, like a witness
on the stand, should hold up his right hand and swear to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. ”A remarkable translation goes beyond mere literal interpretation; it involves skillfully
rewriting the original text to resonate with and captivate its audience. This research paper explores the
integral part played by translation in forming and evolving literary canons, emphasizing the cultural
dimensions that underpin this dynamic process. Drawing upon case studies and theoretical frameworks, it
investigates how translations facilitate the exchange of ideas, narratives, and cultural perspectives across
linguistic borders. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role
played by translation in reshaping literary canons within a multicultural context. By emphasizing its
influence on cultural representation, diversity, and inclusivity, this study explores the transformative
potential of translated texts in shaping the global literary landscape, fostering intercultural dialogue, and
embracing diverse cultural perspectives.

and South Asian literature. The text is primarily written in Dari and Pashto, the official languages
of Afghanistan. Afghanistan, a muslim country, has always been counted as the most barbaric
country for humanity worldwide. Jim Fowler remarks: “There is no country in the world that’s
more devastated from natural resources than Afghanistan”. (web). Since its emergence to power
in the mid-eighteenth century, Afghanistan had come under the monarchial reign of several
monarchs, whose consolidation of power was constantly undermined by civil war and foreign
invasions. “The upheavals in Afghanistan are not an Afghan thing. It had its roots outside the
country, which eventually led the country to be the hub of terrorism,…..who had a different
agenda.” (web). After the upheavals societal displacement, political exploitation, gender
discrimination, cultural chaos, mental, physical, and emotional turmoil, and many other atrocities
have become a common phenomenon in the life of Afghans. These circumstances have shoved
Afghanistan into such a dell of hell that human life cannot even be imagined. Some seeds, which
surmount similar cataclysmic circumstances, blossomed and gave birth to such a literary medium,
which not only voiced out their nostalgic anguish but also unveiled the blemish of contemporary
Afghan society. Khaled Hosseini, who emerged from the sludge of the same morass, exposed the
dark side of the norms, culture, customs, and traditions of his motherland. Khaled Hosseini's novels
articulate the enduring agony of Afghans, who carry the burden of remorse throughout their existence. The paper interprets the socio-political scenario, traumatic and poignant experiences of
human relationships, hollowness of customs, and untold grief of Afghans portrayed in Hosseini’s
novel ‘The Kite Runner’ (2003). Hosseini as a writer has offered his infancy world of Afghanistan
as a background of his fiction. The novel deals with the theme of societal discrimination, emotional
conflict, racism, superego, guilt, atonement, and redemption. It sheds light on human nature by
showing the inherent evil that can be evoked, and how it leads to the impairment of childhood
innocence and the hardships of entire life. The purpose of this paper ruminate on the social and
cultural turmoil of war and foreign invasions and their impact on the lives of ordinary citizens of
Afghanistan, especially the societal conflict of Hazaras, the sexual exploitation of Sanubar, the
physical and mental trauma of Hassan and his son Shorab, and nostalgia of Amir.

And for these countries the incident proved to be the most atrocious and catastrophic incident in human history due to the occurrence of incessant robbery, kidnapping, rape and murder. Since then, Partition of India has been the most gruesome and ugly past of Indian history which puts the nation to shame whenever remembered or discussed. The partition and the associated bloody riots compelled many creative minds to create literary pieces capturing the inhuman acts of murder and brutal slaughter on both sides. The trauma of partition and agony experienced by the people of Indian Sub-continent found its voice in the literature of Partition written by various writers of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in different languages. While some creations depicted the massacres during the refugee migration, others concentrated on the aftermath of the partition in terms of difficulties faced by the refugees on both sides of the border. Even now, after more than 75 years of partition, works of fiction and films are made that relate to the events of partition. A few literatures describing the human cost of independence and partition are 'Train to Pakistan' by Khushwant Singh, 'Toba Tek Singh' by Saadat Hassan Manto, 'Tamas' by Bhisham Sahni, and 'Midnight's Children' by Salman Rushdi. The present paper deals with the sensitive story picked from a Punjabi novel 'Pinjar' written by Amrita Pritam. Amrita is a prominent writer from Punjab who has provided an avid expression of the lives and experiences of women during Partition in many of her poems and novels. Pinjar is an appalling and petrifying story of a Hindu Girl who is kidnapped by a Muslim young man who marries her. In the course of events the girl again gets a chance to meet her family and reunite which she is compelled to refuse as her parents denied accepting her saying that she has been defiled by a non-Hindu. The novel, in its flow of narration, unfolds the harrowing journey of innocent females whose whole life is rendered shattered due to a single episode called 'partition'.

T... more It has been observed since ages that human civilization has been patriarchal or male dominated. The world we live in is an ingrained social system that in all aspects of life be it professional, educational, moral, cultural, social or personal is male dominated. A male dominated society is bound to be following a patriarchal societal system where women suffocate physically and mentally. This social system has tied women's existence, their development and their future like such shackles that women have to struggle throughout their life to get rid of these shackles. The social status of women in patriarchal society has been a subject of grave discussion since ages. It encompasses various burning issues of girls and women education, maternal health, economic empowerment of females and the role of women in family, community, politics and more. Throughout the world various social norms in some form or other deny women their right to education, health services, economic opportunities and political participation. The purpose of this paper is to throw light on the plight of women in the patriarchal community, where women have become mere puppets in the hands of intolerable traditions and the prestigious sycophants of the society. The condition of women has been pitiable since ages ,be it Sita in Treta Yuga or Draupadi in Dwapar Yuga or various heroines of modern era portrayed by Namita Gokhale, Chitra Banerjee, Arundhati Roy and more.Our social, cultural, economical and traditional factors of society have become the reason for subjugation women. That is why women have remained subjugated, silenced, oppressed and tortured under patriarchal pressure. In Indian society women are traditionally discriminated against excluded from political and family decisions. They are considered as a property and a means to pleasure. It seems that women always have to fight for their equality with men in societal set up .

A well known literary personality of 20 th century , T.S Eliot published "The Waste Land " in 1922 after The Great War. The postwar disillusionment of 1920s led many literary figures to voice out the predicament and moral dilemma that modern life faces. T.S Eliot was one of the eminent figures who was able to depict the crisis time and connect then existing panorama with the modern age.

Exposing a picture of mundane waste land that symbolically suggest the spiritual death of modern men ,and is expedition of "human failure and of perennial quest for salvation ".

As I peered through the window, something caught my attention - a small bird perched on a bare tree branch. Its feathers ruffled against the cold, yet there was a look of determination in its eyes. That warm winter day taught me an important lesson about resilience and finding warmth in unexpected places.

Short Fiction by Dilkesh K . Gangwar
today's increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, there is a pressing need to critically evaluate
the cultural dimensions and diversities of a new literary canon. As global literary landscapes continue to
evolve, the role of translation emerges as a pivotal factor in mediating cross-cultural literary experiences
and expanding the boundaries of literary canons. Translation plays a vital role in bridging the gap
between languages, ensuring that the originally felt emotions and perspectives are effectively
communicated. In the context of Indian literature, particularly Indian English literature, translation has
been integral, providing opportunities for audiences to understand diverse viewpoints. In the era of
globalization, translators are widely recognized as artists on par with authors in any genre. Henry
Wordsworth Longfellowhas excellentlydescribed the role of the translator: “A Translator, like a witness
on the stand, should hold up his right hand and swear to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. ”A remarkable translation goes beyond mere literal interpretation; it involves skillfully
rewriting the original text to resonate with and captivate its audience. This research paper explores the
integral part played by translation in forming and evolving literary canons, emphasizing the cultural
dimensions that underpin this dynamic process. Drawing upon case studies and theoretical frameworks, it
investigates how translations facilitate the exchange of ideas, narratives, and cultural perspectives across
linguistic borders. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role
played by translation in reshaping literary canons within a multicultural context. By emphasizing its
influence on cultural representation, diversity, and inclusivity, this study explores the transformative
potential of translated texts in shaping the global literary landscape, fostering intercultural dialogue, and
embracing diverse cultural perspectives.
and post-modern Indian English poetry. He is known for his unique blend of imaginative realism
and profound philosophical insights in his poetry. This research paper presents a comprehensive
exploration of the visionary poet Jayant Mahapatra's literary works, focusing on the intertwining
themes of realism and philosophy within the rich tapestry of Indian literature. His profound
poetical works serve as a cornerstone in any discourse on Indian English Poetry, vividly portraying
themes of social discrimination and the erosion of moral values. Internationally acclaimed,
Mahapatra's masterpieces such as "Hunger," "Myth," and "A Summer" are hailed as flawless
examples of majestic poetry that compel readers to grapple with profound societal truths. Delving
deeper into his repertoire, his philosophical musings in poems like "The Moon Moments" and
"Total Solar Eclipse" resonate with a stark realism that captivates and mesmerizes audiences
worldwide.
and South Asian literature. The text is primarily written in Dari and Pashto, the official languages
of Afghanistan. Afghanistan, a muslim country, has always been counted as the most barbaric
country for humanity worldwide. Jim Fowler remarks: “There is no country in the world that’s
more devastated from natural resources than Afghanistan”. (web). Since its emergence to power
in the mid-eighteenth century, Afghanistan had come under the monarchial reign of several
monarchs, whose consolidation of power was constantly undermined by civil war and foreign
invasions. “The upheavals in Afghanistan are not an Afghan thing. It had its roots outside the
country, which eventually led the country to be the hub of terrorism,…..who had a different
agenda.” (web). After the upheavals societal displacement, political exploitation, gender
discrimination, cultural chaos, mental, physical, and emotional turmoil, and many other atrocities
have become a common phenomenon in the life of Afghans. These circumstances have shoved
Afghanistan into such a dell of hell that human life cannot even be imagined. Some seeds, which
surmount similar cataclysmic circumstances, blossomed and gave birth to such a literary medium,
which not only voiced out their nostalgic anguish but also unveiled the blemish of contemporary
Afghan society. Khaled Hosseini, who emerged from the sludge of the same morass, exposed the
dark side of the norms, culture, customs, and traditions of his motherland. Khaled Hosseini's novels
articulate the enduring agony of Afghans, who carry the burden of remorse throughout their existence. The paper interprets the socio-political scenario, traumatic and poignant experiences of
human relationships, hollowness of customs, and untold grief of Afghans portrayed in Hosseini’s
novel ‘The Kite Runner’ (2003). Hosseini as a writer has offered his infancy world of Afghanistan
as a background of his fiction. The novel deals with the theme of societal discrimination, emotional
conflict, racism, superego, guilt, atonement, and redemption. It sheds light on human nature by
showing the inherent evil that can be evoked, and how it leads to the impairment of childhood
innocence and the hardships of entire life. The purpose of this paper ruminate on the social and
cultural turmoil of war and foreign invasions and their impact on the lives of ordinary citizens of
Afghanistan, especially the societal conflict of Hazaras, the sexual exploitation of Sanubar, the
physical and mental trauma of Hassan and his son Shorab, and nostalgia of Amir.
