A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF R.K.NARAYAN’S ‘SWAMI AND FRIENDS’ FROM DHWANI POINT OF VIEW
Abstract
Indian Poetics contains theories like Rasa, Alamkara, Riti, Dhwani, Vakrokti and Aucitya. These theories can be applied on the works of literature. Up till now Indian theories were merely talked about and discussed. Their application on literature can give altogether a new perception to the reader. The work of literature appears with many implied meanings in it. These implied meanings can only be gained with the application of certain theory on the work of literature. The present paper aims to study R.K.Narayan’s novel ‘Swami and Friends’ through the application of Dhwani theory.
