The term "Little Literatures" is used in this paper in lines with identical terms "Little Magazines," popularly in use and "Little Communities," coined by Robert Redfield. The term "reverse influences" denotes the influences of the little literatures as the "hypotext" (influencing text) and bhasha literatures as the "hyper-text" (the influenced text), to use Gerard Gennette"s terms. Contrarily, the paper focuses on the reverse influences by freeing bhasha literatures from the Sanskrit conceptions. An attempt is made in this paper to argue that it is illogical and incongruous to obtrude Sanskrit or European conceptions upon bhasha literatures, and the conceptions of bhasha literatures on the little literatures. The poetics of the privileged literature, though imaginary/constructed, is seemingly influential, but synchronically receptive from the non-privileged literatures because of the organic character, being drawn from life, living on account of practice by the people. Unlike linguists, who believe and practice the premise of linguistic equality, creative writers and critics privilege a particular literary tradition by denigrating the dormant traditions of the new genres of bhasha literatures.
The anti-provinciality in effect is against the literary diversity and the principle of literary equality. more The anti-provinciality of the Indian English Writing articulated by Rushdie and Naipaul, for example is a continuation of the Sanskrit tradition that pursued the anti-provinciality ever since the beginning of the bhasha tradition. The anti-provinciality of the Indian English Writing articulated by Rushdie and Naipaul, for exam. The symbolism is evocative– only excessive effort can help Kakka contend with his situation. He becomes larger than life by taking on the persona of Mahisasura, a character he has enacted in a play. At the same time, he has to fend off wolves who have come to the scene sniffing the placenta. Two symbolic events occur almost at once-Kakka sees a snake about to prey upon baby birds, and attempts to be their savior. The plot reaches another crescendo when Lasmakka delivers a baby in a cart on the way to town. Kalemma has played her role in shaping and strengthening Kakka, and the story moves on. In the first, Kakka’s mother Kalemma is ex-communicated based on false allegations and just when her plight is just about to break the reader’s heart, the story turns-she is remarried and never shows up again in the novel. I see two climactic scenes in the book-Kalemma’s trial, and Kakka fending off wolves. I see two climactic scenes in the book-Kalemma’s trial, and Kakka.
