Book Description

About The Book

TWO DECADES OF DOGRI LITERATURE is a sequel to the History of Dogri Literature by the same author published by the Sahitya Akademi in 1976. It carries forward the story of the development in different genres of Dogri literature in the eighth and ninth decades of this century. It also dwells at length on some of the geo-historical and political contexts of Dogri language and literature and the constraints faced by it in its greater development. The period covered in this volume is important in this evolution when this literature shows signs of maturing in some genres and a certain widening of the spectrum of literary expression.

Introduction

Between 1944 (the year of the founding of Dogri Sanstha, Jammu and commencement of Dogri literary movement) and 1969 (the year when Dogri was recognized as an independent modern Indian language by the Sahitya Akademi), Dogri literature was built up, brick by brick as it were, with the dedication of a group of literary and cultural activists of the Dogri Sanstha, Jammu, and some likeminded members of organisations like Dogra Mandal, Jammu and Dogra Mandal, Delhi on the foundations of the common folk literature heritage of Dogras.
