Namaskar, Major Hindi Stories and Indian
Society, in this ongoing lecture series under the reader,
today I will talk to
you about the wife of the famous storyteller Rajendra's story.
You all know that Jainendra,
along with being a contemporary of Premchandra, was also a
Hindi writer. Known as a great storyteller in the world,
he has
written beautiful and meaningful stories like Apna Bhagya Pajeb Khel or
in novels like Sunita and Tyagpatra
and he is
also known as Sharatchandra of Hindi.
Jainendra
's Premchand's social stories
In the world of Hindi stories,
Jainendra was
considered a painter of psychological situations
because in contrast to him, General has
tried to understand the psychological world of man instead of social reality
and for this reason
he has tried to understand
Premchand. In an attempt to complete what was left out,
we can say that the parallel writing of Premchand in the early Hindi stories by Jainendra can also be called a complement to Premchand. When
they include the characters in their characters,
then they do not forget that the
inner world of man is created by social pressure,
whatever is within him, whatever is
seen and heard within a character,
what is beautiful and ugly.
Social conditions are completely responsible for the creation of something,
this story is a story of a slightly different color from this incident
that in all the previous lectures you have heard till now, there
was a discussion between society and culture and the relationship between the two and they were
mixed in a way. The social reality
of Jainendra in this story wife story, through
his characters, he enters into the mind of his female
character Sunanda. If
you see from this episode,
then this is the mind of the woman, the
mind of the Indian woman. It can happen anywhere, it can happen to
any woman, but
one more thing is that through
this story, Jainendra
enters into a family.
What does it mean within the family through his shroud
that the making and breaking of husband and wife?
In relationships, keep in mind what are the circumstances of what destiny a woman gets as a wife.
This story
focuses its attention with great interest
and this is the reason why the
famous Hindi critic, respected Dr. Namvar at one time. Singh had
also started the debate on breadth versus depth and had
said that if Premchand ji
is the creator of breadth then Jainendra is the creator of depth
and there was a debate on it there, there was
a lot of debate on this in the fifties, I will discuss that
here. I may not be in a position to enumerate the rock,
but I definitely want to say
that breadth and depth exist together, there is
no separate division between them, because the depth of the inner self with which we
move ahead
has more social breadth in it. Singularity is
present in the sense that due to the pressure of that sociality,
a character and part of Heb is formed as
Jitendra has tried to show that
now as I said that in today's
lecture I will talk about the objectivity of the wife's story.
In which I will talk about the plot, I will discuss the
environment of this story and
along with this story, it is a kind of
literature that I can tell you, on
what basis these characters are developed, I
will also discuss
what is the meaning of this story. The story is very interesting
and when you listen, you will feel that
Jainendra has written in this story everything
that you see around you in your homes, in
your villages, in your towns,
which are families and are being situated in She is a
little less educated, what is her situation
and the husband is constantly in the role of dominance, she has
no voice to deal with, the
wife wants to rebel, she
wants to say something in her own way but the husband was
there, he has no time to listen.
That the department runs out of the house and
says that I have big social concerns,
I have big issues of the country
which have to be resolved, there are
big issues of the society which have to be dealt with,
you are inside the house, right? If you do
it then it is your responsibility to do it, support me and support me.
You can see that this is the
Indian
social reality that all the
men who have been revolutionaries have made
big mistakes in the society and
in their own homes in the future.
That the whole revolution goes out the window
when the wife expects something from them. The wife is
not a part of that social structure. Does the
wife have any feelings? There is no
room for love and compassion in her mental world.
She has no voice of her own. He is
only forced to hear that Fatimah will give
him orders and his
entire life will be spent in compliance with her,
that he will raise children and cook food
and his whole life will be spent in this. Is this all,
this is not the truth
but Jainendra There are 25
male characters in the story and female characters Sunanda,
so the reason is that the
husband-wife relationship between Nichod and Sunanda is so tense, that
is, this is the story of how stressful it is
because the husband who is Kalindi
is very busy, he has big work. They have to talk about
patriotism, they have to
liberate Mother India, they have to
struggle for independence and overall they
are with the revolutionary party who debate and talk about the bigger issues of the society rather than the issue of the nation
and
Shubhendu. The picture was the need of that time that you
all know that General Saheb, the
creator himself, is a Gandhian influence, then the Gandhian
who is under the influence, his concern for freedom
is from there and in this,
when now the extremist and moderate groups come from there. So
black turmeric powder, Vikrant belongs to the moderate party, he does
not want it, he
considers God of Terror as bad, he considers terror as bad for the sake of freedom,
friends of one side
say that terror is necessary, without which
freedom is not possible, but continuous They
do this a lot through politicization and say that the
country should be free and for that we should
make the same efforts. Those who talk about terrorism
say that terror is a sign of rationality. Those who do not have conscience, do not
think, do not have good sense, they are like this.
And this is the situation,
one day while being outside, suddenly he
comes home and he has two children in the afternoon.
Sunanda is waiting for her husband at home, as if she
clicks on it every day. Have to do it and after that when
the one who is left doesn't come, then at the
very beginning of this story you have
that the fire of the stove is turning to ashes, this
time she is waiting for them to go, I will
make hot rotis for them. And the ring
is still fresh but she writes that while
waiting for him the stove
turned to ashes, she tried her best to save the fire, till then he
appears with 14 friends,
okay and after that he comes and makes requests
and does so. They sit down and while sitting in the kitchen they are thinking,
she is going on, we have to
free the country from terror, we have to
free Mother India, we have to struggle like this, we have to
struggle like this,
she thinks that this choice of leaves is very
poignant. If you listen to it, you will enjoy it a lot, it is very
touching, he is doing all this today in the
spirit of half independence and patriotism,
I am not able to understand anything and I
also ask you to explain to me
considering that I am a little less educated than
you. Are not ready to explain and
sentences are written on it like Jinendra,
in full expectation of your wife's knowledge, the magazine's goal is
lost, it becomes impatient, even if the wife
makes any reasonable demand, the
husband loses his patience very quickly. If yes, then we
can do it. There has been a story of such a man
opening his mouth and suddenly in the meantime,
without even noticing, he meets the wife who has been
waiting for him the whole day. Just imagine the pain of a
wife who is alone at home
and suddenly goes to the kitchen. And they say,
hey, listen, if you want to eat or not, then give it to
four people and whether you want to
eat or not to eat, give food to Abu, this is what you
use together,
now Sunanda is worried, if you do, then you will be
coming late. He is showing himself with four friends,
he has not even met me, he is
trying to know whether there is
food in the house, there is no hunger, and he is
also saying in the tone of a request to the command,
hey, if you want food, please give it, hey brother, eat.
If yes, then judge, you should do it with authority,
cook food, our friends will keep it and you can
talk to her, but if you do it now and I am just
suggesting it and then when Sunanda
doesn't say anything, then you will silently confront her,
Surendra Khan, I didn't want it
and She gently serves pure milk, she
likes it even among her friends and
after that they go and do it as if the
man is in pain and who told you to
cook the food which we will
not eat etc. You can understand, listen and
think. What is this flag for, what is it for
and the interesting thing is that it is not the storyteller but the
originality of the wound that has been printed here
that while debating in the meeting just now,
Kalindi Sharan was continuously saying that
terror is not required, violence is not required. They do not want to return to
Kalindi Sharan
immediately for the sake of freedom. Listen,
your friends understand that terror is necessary, murder is
necessary, it is necessary for revolution.
Sunanda thinks that till now the end has been reached because of
terror and revolutionaries.
About that, there was a little generous
superintendent, how has he become, whatever he sends, he has
not raised his voice even a bit in his wife,
he has also said that he has
tried to find out, he has a habit of only narrating, if he
does not have a habit of listening, then
Many poignant things have been
written in it to know the wisdom that comes into Sunanda's mind after entering her mind, highlighting it, such as giving the reward for patience,
her becoming impatient, all these
are the needs of a man. Now it is
difficult for a woman to ask anything and answer it,
and the situation is such that people
keep talking and while they are
eating there, they also
eat silently. If there were
pickles then we would have enjoyed that at that time the
pickles are in favor of birds and strength,
Sunanda is worried that nothing will happen, is this the
freedom that was gone, is it Mother India, I
don't know anything, this is the question but immediately she says
where am I to sit and enjoy. I am
going on in this regard, brother, feeding and
serving my husband is my religion. Now see
how two types
of thoughts are arising simultaneously in his mind
that one side is that he is not, now I can tolerate it. I will
not tolerate this,
I will not tolerate the hang-ups of these people, I am a little like this, I am a little like that,
but if I immediately rebel against whatever
encroachment is ingrained in the Indian values,
then all this is useless. Why are you thinking that your
husband is yours and if you feed your
friends, then what is the point in feeding them? What
difference does it make if there is no food left for you? Then she revolts and
says that after all, you did not even ask that.
First of all, all the food is left after saving the food,
friends have fed me, let's
ask once, I am eating, I am eating,
then the second thing was said, see now and
at the end of the call, the narrator created in this story that the
people who were eating. If there is, then Sunanda
stands at the door like a dedicated pot, so that if her husband gives any advance, she will
immediately fulfill his plunder. If he
asks for anything, then he will search for her. Now see
how much movement there is inside Sunanda and the result of this story is that
undergarments are very big. What is poignant is that on the one hand there is
Vanda who has the
only guest to carry the Indian values of finding a husband which
she has inherited
and on the other hand she is in the pre-irrigation state of honey. The
position of the man is that he has
the freedom of his own present.
Freedom is present and the creator will wish for the benefits of the country's independence. He has
tried to tell that
in this way they are husband and wife, they are in the house,
hence they are doing a lot of work. If the iron had
rebelled. They get it in a glass of water,
this is the reality of Indian life,
all the men and all of you, we are as many as we are,
but we go out only now with the support of the house,
yes, only then we are able to do something, if we rebel against everyone else's
house. Let
us not eat, let us eat, now let us stop it, stop
going out, you also stop the
entry of children, after all, this is a free moment for
men, how does it happen, so should we
not do 140 to it, should we not recognize it, should
we recognize it? Therefore, we should
not be grateful to the women of our respective houses, to our respective wives,
that if they are women, then they
are women, should they not
be in charge of them? This is what this story tells
and it is obvious that
Indians There is not much scope for rebellion in the mind of a woman who is deeply rooted in the culture. This is
Curry's opinion, because she remains connected with her husband in
such a free spirit due to his gesture,
while on the other hand, the man keeps making high resolutions many
times like ironing.
Leave the free world, leave free thoughts,
after all, after coming out, he does not have the thought that
he will also ask from the past, this is me, this is this, this is
now the story of that Indian society, which
cannot
be the situation but all of you
people associated with the use of technology. All of us who were
dedicated to each other here have been
broken but this is
disgusting and we should tell those men
that psychiatry is wrong so
give them a break on this then this story
goes with this note of this story This story is
very meaningful in this way, with this story you
will see that the environment it has is
poignant for you and
now the environment is first of all
created in such a way that it further intensifies the darkness of the woman.
Now as We had said that
this kind of tension and
hatred in the life of the relationship between Sunanda and Kalindi is what gives impetus to this story and
tries to take it to its conclusion.
Now there is a very dense past and present environment
which is What gives momentum to these characters is that the
environment of this story extends from within the house to the
freedom struggle, but
in reality, precisely to express the soluble atmosphere of the house,
in this story, on the contrary, the storyteller has shown the
country through Tarika Hindi channel. The
atmosphere of freedom has been created because he
wants to show that the house in which Mother
India is not free will be a
lecture for the country. Now see
how poignant the atmosphere of the house has been created in the beginning of the story, there
is the court there which General is written, on
one side of the city, there is a despised house, on the second
floor there in the square, a woman is
sitting in front with a ring, the fire in the fireplace is turning to ashes,
she doesn't know what she is thinking, her
age must be around twenty-two, she is a bit thin in body
and Right up to the Constitution, the
whole environment is very picturesque
and the characters are also soulful.
This story begins with this tense environment in which the
atmosphere becomes more and more intense
because the fire of the ring is a
continuous night.
Sunanda's sentiments are also there,
so this story
is actually a story related to the family environment and in which the man
is educated but the wife is less educated. He
gave independence, nationalism and freedom from all this. It is less
familiar and in a way it is the basic one because there is no
direct possibility of its value, these
cats do not get the benefit of it, due
to this scandal there is a little failure to understand
and that is why its whole
environment is very stressful.
And here, as I said,
Kalindi gets hurt by not getting a response from Sunanda and
starts speaking out in favor of revolution and terror,
while at the same time he again says that conscience is better than terror. Where it is
said that terror is very important,
now in this way you will see that the
environment of this story is
more of an environment confined within the house than the society,
in which there is
a lot of mutual interaction between husband and wife. There is tension and the tension between each other,
now the dialogues that take place between them,
now in reality they
further intensify the cursed conditions of that environment
because the tension which is the tension of that environment is
that it is small, first and
I This told you that one of the people of the house wants to organize this
infamous despised house of the city that the
environment created by this despised house is
not just an ordinary environment, the
women of the despised house were also despised
and this
is the reason. That when there is a situation of lack of communication between husband and wife
or she starts talking and listens to the conversation while talking to others,
then she tells the bank
that he can say so much that in a subdued
mood She remains silent even today. Look, these people are
constantly talking about Azad Vikrant, independence,
nationalism, patriotism, patriotism etc. Have
you ever thought that the woman inside the house
also participates in patriotism,
she also participates in the value of freedom.
She asks for the same message that is being
created from within that environment
and as Vijendra also tells
that unless the woman of the house is free, the
independence of the country will be incomplete
and this is what is actually happening amidst the thickening of the environment. There
is also a conclusion of the content
which is seen many times in this story. This story is very
small in its form but it becomes
very big in its communication capacity and to
make it bigger, if there are two characters then this
story becomes bigger like I said
Sunanda's story. The character and the second character of Kalindi Charan
is the character of Sunanda. She should
be the character of a dedicated woman who keeps thinking about him completely, not
only with her body, mind but also with the
feeling of his spiritual presence,
like a well,
how cardiac is her situation in that character.
You see, Vrindavan seems to wonder
why they don't eat their food on time or why they keep having unnecessary arguments, they keep
wandering here and there again and again, they
should not eat their food on time, they should take care of their health,
the quarter is there. In the story, due to
this carelessness, the child is gone, she remembers
every child who has died,
but when she is
alone, she misses the child's speed and
wants that the child's The
pain in the form of Kajol in this myth should be
tried to be filled with the presence of the husband
so that when the husband is there then neither is the husband
worried, he is constantly busy with the house
but the wife is worried about the husband and
in this fast her children bow down. Which is
no longer in this world, then this, whatever the
conditions are, on one side is the character of Sunanda
and on the other side is the idea of the corrupt,
this is very revolutionary, very dedicated,
very patriotic, it
is right in its place that that era There was a need for such people,
Meena, who was aspiring for social change,
should have struggled for this, but she was
suffering from the influence of men
and all her education, initiation, all her
studies were written in it, all this
was given to her in a judicious manner. I don't let myself think about this aspect
that after all she is my better half and
if she is constantly devoted to me then there must be some
responsibility too and she wants to hear what is
beautiful, she doesn't want anything and is
told face to face that once she comes to the house then once
she asks me to Also ask about me in this
space. Think about food. There are
some everyday friends. Friends come, I would
cook and give food and for a day I would
not eat, my chair would become weak, but at
least you would have asked that you would have. Whether you ate the food
or not or did not save the food for you,
then this is the situation. Premchand has put the wife's story within the scope of a poignant story by taking old age and
conflicting situations with two opposing characters
and
this is the strength of this story.
Now we will listen to this story,
read this story, study it,
think about it, then you
are the people of the new generation, who are now the future of the country,
those families will
definitely think about the future of their families that the reason is
terrible. We must remain free from that friend
because everything will be good,
but your responsibility towards home and towards your wife is
as big as
your responsibility towards society and nation
because the city is an integral part of you.
In fact, it is a
kind of neglect of the country too, because the freedom,
revolution, transformation of the society that we
talk about is its vocal voice,
so we all together have not suppressed that vocal voice by doing our part.
Tunnels
Give a happy place to your elders at home Listen to them, understand
their problems and do your best to satisfy their terror Thank you very
much that you have heard this story [
