Volume : I, Issue : VI, July - 2011 Modernity in Girish Karnad’s The Dreams of Tipu Sultan Shivaji Shankar Kamble DOI : 10.9780/22307850, 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. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Shivaji Shankar Kamble, (2011). Modernity in Girish Karnad’s The Dreams of Tipu Sultan.
