Question

1. Comment on Assamese Literature and its contributions towards English​

Answer 1

Explanation:

amese literature, body of writings in the Assamese language spoken chiefly in Assam state, India.

Probably the earliest text in a language that is incontestably Assamese is the Prahlada Charitra of the late 13th-century poet Hema Saraswati. Written in a heavily Sanskritized style, it tells the story, from the Vishnu-Purana, of how the mythical prince Prahlada’s faith in Vishnu saved him from destruction and restored the moral order. The first great Assamese poet was Madhava Kandali (14th century), who made the earliest translation of the Sanskrit Ramayana and wrote Devajit, a narrative on Krishna. The bhakti movement brought a great literary upsurge. The most famous Assamese poet of that period was Shankaradeva (1449–1568), whose many works of poetry and devotion are still read today and who inspired such poets as Madhavadeva (1489–1596) to write lyrics of great beauty. Peculiar to Assamese literature are the buranjis, chronicles written in a prose tradition taken to Assam by the Ahom people originally from what is now Yunnan, China. Assamese buranjis date from the 16th century, though the genre appears much earlier in the original Tai language of the Ahom.

One of the first plays to be written in the Assamese language was playwright and lexicographer Hemchandra Barua’s Kaniyar Kirtan (1861; “The Revels of an Opium Eater”), about opium addiction. His plays chiefly addressed social issues. Barua also wrote Bahire Rongsong Bhitare Kowabhaturi (1861; Fair Outside and Foul Within). Probably the most outstanding among the early modern writers was Lakshminath Bezbarua (1868–1938), who founded a literary monthly, Jonaki (“Moonlight”), in 1889 and was responsible for infusing Assamese letters with 19th-century Romanticism, which had by then begun to fade from Western literature. Later 20th-century writers tried to remain faithful to the ideals expressed in Jonaki. The short story genre flourished in Assamese with notable practitioners such as Mahichandra Bora (1894–1965) and Holiram Deka (1901–63). The year 1940 marked a shift toward psychological narrative, but World War II effectively put an end to literary development in Assam.
