- Authors
Saxena, Shalini
- Abstract
The interplay of aesthetics and ideology which usually supplies critical paradigms in the study of culture and literature is of immense importance. The status of Indian literary aesthetics has suffered an egregious diminution in the contemporary times. It is disparagingly argued that 'Indian aesthetics' has become obsolete and is not relevant to the modern times. However, 'Indian Aesthetics' is of great importance not only to the Indian scholars but also to the Western scholars. The present paper attempts to explore the affinities between the western literary theories and the Indian aesthetics .It also thrashes out ways and means of reconciling them to evolve a scientific approach for the evaluation of literary works.
