Dr R.K. Srivastava – Key Points of the Lecture

"Agricultural Life and Livelihood in Kamala Markandya'sNectar

in a Sieve"

Kamala Markandaya'sNectar in a Sieve (1954) is the story of a

miserable landless farmer Nathan and his wife Rukmani who work very
hard on the rented agricultural land but due to the vagaries of weather—
excess of rain or total absence of it—all their labour ends up in vain.
Their hard labour can be taken as precious nectar which, if put in a sieve,
seeps completely down to the ground through numerous holes, leaving
nothing of the precious commodity.
In Indian mythology, during the churning of the ocean
(samudramanthan) many items had come out of it but the most precious
of them was the nectar which the gods had taken. Nathan and Rukmani
are not so fortunate. The nectar of their labour goes waste because of two
things: rent of the land which is paid to the landlord irrespective of the
 21

success or failure of their harvest and the vagaries of weather—rain or

drought.
These calamities make their labors inconsequential like those of
Sisyphus of Greek mythology who was cursed to roll a heavy boulder up
the hill, letting it roll down from there and then repeat the exercise all his
life in utter futility. Nathan and Rukmani worked on their rented land for
thirty years and then are evicted from it without having anything for
shelter or sustenance.
The lives of other members of the family are also adversely affected
by the frequent failures of harvest. Their youngest son Kuti dies of
malnutrition. Raja had to work in a tannery where he is killed. Their son
Murugan leaves for the city from where he goes to some unknown place.
Some sons go to Ceylon. Their daughter Ira is sent back by her husband
because of her barrenness and she resorts to prostitution to feed the
family. After being evicted from the rented land, Nathan and Rukmani
go to the city in search of Murugan but in vain. Subsequently, they work
on a stone quarry to earn money for their return journey but Nathan dies
on the way. Rukmani, now a widow, comes back with an adopted child
Puli to their son Selvam.
Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in a Sieve beautifully portrays the
miserable life of a landless farmer Nathan and numerous difficulties
which the entire family confront courageously without losing hope.
Besides depicting their agricultural activities, the novel also highlights
their economic and social pursuits as also their faith in moral values.

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer
and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death
into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper
care for it we can have no life.”
― Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture

Dr Alka Jain- Paper Presentation Topic

"Understanding Sustainability in Agriculture through the Literary

Output of Kabir"

The aim behind presenting this paper by Dr Jain was to

establish that works of literature across the world have
contributed tremendously in creating awareness about the
environment. Her paper aimed to establish that the dohas
of Kabir are a treasure trove of ideological and achievable
solutions to agricultural and environmental sustainability, the
world's major concern today.

She illustrated how literature depicts the unfailing bonding

between human beings and the environment, by talking
about forging a relationship with it. They look at the
 28

environment ethically and ideologically. And believe that we

cannot exist without nature. One such poet and thinker was
Kabir, whose wisdom stemmed from the rural hearth where
he spent his entire life.

She further stated that on the one hand, literature gently

points towards the interdependence of man and nature, while
on the other hand, it consciously nudges humanity to deliver
positive and soulful responses while reciprocating with the
environment.

The paper looks at the culmination of literary wisdom and

science and examines Kabir's dohas intending to answer the
modern human quest for sustainable development. A study
of Kabir's doha's can establish the positive role of his ancient
literary texts and literature as the guiding light in the world's
journey towards sustainability. The wealth of agricultural and
environmental wisdom in his works can enrich human
consciousness and tingle his sensitivities, like nothing else.

She recited a doha in which Kabir das Ji says that,

nkrk rjoj n;k Qy] midkjh thoUrA iaNh pys fnlkojka foj[kk lqQy QyUrA
In this couplet, Kabir shows the benevolence of trees that
provide fruits to the birds without expectation. Even when
 29

the bird flies away to its destination, the tree continues to

give fruits to all. Trees are the real givers, yet they are
always prosperous.

This couplet of Kabir sings for the abundance and kindness

of nature. Having originated as God's creation, everything in
Nature is selfless. Except for human beings, who, because
of their wrong ways of living, have become self-centered.
Consequently, they are facing difficulties, sorrow, and
suffering.

The resources of nature have sustained humanity for

centuries, but in our ambitious flights to prosperity, we have
forgotten that we owe our sustenance to the earth. Whatever
we do in gratitude for the earth's bounty and generosity is
a drop in the ocean। Today, when the time has come for
us to combat environmental degradation, climate change,
and exhaustion of resources, we need to remember the
generosity of nature and act in a befitting manner.

The doha implies that what we are gifted spontaneously,
without asking for, is like milk, the pure elixir of life. What
we receive by begging or demanding is nothing more than
 30

water, but what we extract through violence, force, or injuring

someone is like sucking blood.

This quote is highly relevant in the contemporary

environmental and agricultural scenario. The produce that
the soil gives effortlessly is nurture and blessing for all. But
in the senseless rush for more, humans use unique
strategies to snatch everything from the soil. The reckless
and extensive use of chemicals and harmful agricultural
practices have given deep wounds to the earth and made it
bleed and die.

Dr Jain reinstated that agricultural wisdom is abundant in

Kabir's dohas. What requires a deep inquiry is that while
we have applied Kabir's simplistic agricultural wisdom in
almost all life phases, we have avoided applying it to the
field that inspired Kabir- sustainable development.

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with
flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance
at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for
thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently
inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human
inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant
epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are
capable of working magic."
[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

साहहत्य का िाद ू चल रहा है!- डॉ अलका िैन, आयोिन सचचव

ककतनी अद्िुत िै एक ककताब!

कागज के छपे पुशलंदों पर पड़ा- आड़ी-टे ढ़ी िजारों लकीरों का शलिाफ।
पन्नों का सफर, और पलक झपकते एक हृदय दज
ू े के पास,
संवाद उनसे जो िुए ववदा - पथ्
ृ वी तज दी, बदले आवास।
शताजददयों पार से कलम के पदिये जुटा,
कोई आज हृदय में उतरता िै -
जाद!ू वास्तव में चलता िै ।
लेखनी की िवाएं युगों तक मचलती िै ,
हृदय- दृजष्ट का धूशमल नजररया बदलती िै ।
जो िम से किी न शमला, जो िमे किीं ना ददखेगा,
सपाट कागज से शलपट, वतामान से किे गा-
“किता था ना- स्यािी का जाद ू चलेगा।”
यि भ्रमजाल निीं, जाद ू िर ओर चल रिा िै ,
ककताबों की सरु ािी से पीदढ़यों का सत्य वातास में उछल रिा िै।
ओर, आज का ददन,
गुजरे जमाने की कलम के जोर पर- तेजी से बदल रिा िै!
सादित्य का जाद ू चल रिा िै !
