- Title
Symbolism in Ramesh K. Srivastava’s Cooperative Colony: Stories and Masks and Men: Stories.
- Authors
SHARMA, BARINDER K.
- Abstract
The paper points out Ramesh K. Srivastava’s use of symbols in selected short stories of his two works. In “Savagery,” Kanna and Bhola Singh symbolize primitivism and civilization. In “Century,” Mohan and Jasbir Singh become symbols of the East and the West. In “Ganga Ma,” Chhutakee and Kanika represent respectively superstitions and scientific, rational thinking. In “Rescuers,” the three young men Harcharan Singh, Majid Khan and Ram Bharose are three young men who represent respectively Sikh, Muslim and Hindu religions whereas Father Sault represent Christianity. All of them attempt to exploit an innocent girl which points out the universal prevalence of sexual exploitation. In “Masks and Men,” Sudama and Madhurima find most people having hypocrisy and duplicity. All these stories are well discussed.
