​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The recent release of the English translation of the first ‘independent’ Kannada social-realist novel Indira Bai, fills a much-felt lacuna in Indian literature as well as in Kannada literature. This much-awaited and admirable English translation (Oxford University Press 2019) of Indira Bai by Prof. Vanamala Viswanatha and Prof. Shivarama Padikkal brings to life in English the culture, traditions, and dilemmas of a community in coastal Karnataka, as it hurtles towards a kind of modernity fuelled and accelerated by colonialism.

Answer 2

Answer:

The mother of Indira is Ambabai.

Widow remarriage and education as the "instrument for emancipation" are the main themes of Indira Bai's writing.

Explanation:

Gulavadi Venkata Rao is an Indian author of the Kannada book Indira Bai (1844–1913). It is regarded as the first Kannada novel of the contemporary era and was published in 1899.  It covered the taboo practice of widow remarriage up until that point.  A social fiction supposedly based on actual events and situated in contemporary coastal Karnataka depicts a society in transition. Supporting widow remarriage, it takes a critical stance toward modern society while denouncing societal ills, including bureaucratic corruption and the regressive mindset of established religious institutions.
