Volume : I, Issue : III, April - 2011 New-Morality in Girish Karnad's 'Tale-Danda' Shivaji Shankar Kamble DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Bhalchandra Nemade, a serious critic, advanced
the term New Morality as a modern literary value to set a
very high premium on the morality of the writer. Nemade
dichotomizes morality into two divisions viz. old morality
and new morality which is more akin to Mahatma Phule's
true morality and false morality, expressed in his book
entitled "Sarvajanik Satya Dharm" (The Universal Religion
of Truth). According to Phule, Morality, as expressed in
Ramayana and Bhagavata is unreal, untrue and
unbelievable; however, what annoys Phule here is false and
unreal morality of spurious, wicked and bogus scriptures.
For example, in an imaginative (romantic) Ramayana,
Ravana had ten noses, twenty eyes, twenty ears and twenty
hands but only one anus and two legs. It seems unnatural and
magical. Phule objects Seeta Swayamwara (system of
choosing bridegroom); Rama's being monogramous, on the
ground of false morality and prefers true morality in Aesop's
stories. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Shivaji Shankar Kamble, (2011). New-Morality in Girish Karnad's 'Tale-Danda'. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue.
