Irreverent Reading: Humor, Erudition and Subalternity in the fiction of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Fakir Mohan Senapati
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 March 2019
Abstract
This essay examines scenes from prose fiction in which two Indian novelists (Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Fakir Mohan Senapati) interrogated subalternity in colonial India by talking about books. It first examines narrators’ frustration with books as acts of “irreverent reading” in colonial India, where the presence and scarcity of readable print produced anxieties about language and community. It then examines “reading” in the novels and compares how different kinds of irreverence allows narrators to introduce women characters as agents of very different kinds of violence in colonial India. Following insights of Gayatri Spivak, Elleke Boehmer, and Leah Price, and others, this article argues that Fakir Mohan Senapati’s sensitivity to his readers’ inability to access books enabled his novel to empower readers without books and emphasize how community in colonial India was constituted by the collective forgetting of women.

Throughout this article I have used the new name “Odia” to refer to the language of the Indian state of Odisha. On September 6, 2011, the Indian parliament amended the national constitution to replace the colonial era names “Oriya” (language) and “Orissa” (land) to “Odia” and “Odisha.” This makes for some confusion. Most publications I cite were prior to this change, and thus this article contains both “Odia” and “Oriya.”
4 Throughout this article, I follow Chandra Mohanty and Gayatri Spivak’s critiques of Western academia’s reification of the “third world woman.” I am interested in examining novelists’ imagination of the same figure only to understand how print culture enabled such imaginations by constraining and liberating the ways that novelists could talk about women by talking about books.

7 Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, “Literature,” in A Critique of Postcolonial Reason (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2003), 113–97, esp. 191. Spivak refers to the last section of Coetzee’s Foe as a reading lesson, but the entire book interrogates the anti-colonial and philosophical and cultural implications of “reading” as a strategy in literature, history and philosophy. In her theorization of postcolonial reading publics, Ankhi Mukherjee follows Spivak in self-consciously worrying about the role of the “literary critic” who seeks to contextualize “singular acts of collective reading” and suggests that the postcolonial native informant who poses as a reader, too, must “die a little, too.” See Mukherjee, Ankhi, “Introduction: Postcolonial Reading Publics,” Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry 4.1 (2017): 8, 10 Google Scholar . I follow both Spivak and Mukherjee and remain mindful of the limits of an Anglophone critic reading vernacular Indian novels in English translation, and examining women characters who are clearly more spoken about than speaking.

Bankim’s widespread reputation as the “Scott of Bengal” is one such myth. Beginning with one of Bankim’s nineteenth-century reviewers, this monicker has proved remarkably long-lived. Bankim wrote historical romances as did Walter Scott, and Scott was one of the many writers whose words appear as epigraphs in Bankim’s novels. Instead of fixing the correct line of influence from Scott to Bankim, I consider it more productive to compare the different ways in which Scott, among other writers, found themselves used in novels by writers from cultures different from Bankim’s.
9 Tanika Sarkar, “Nationalist Iconography: The Image of Women in Nineteenth-Century Bengali Literature,” in Hindu Wife, Hindu Nation (Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2001), 265. Sarkar demonstrates how what Partha Chatterjee defined as the creation of women’s spaces as private, sovereign, and “already free” manifested in fiction. The evocation of women as goddesses and warrior-queens in fiction strengthened the confinement of women to the inner realm. As Sarkar puts it, “Kali reverts back to Durga, Durga becomes a household drudge (255).”
10 Rajeswari Sundar Rajan, “Death and the Subaltern,” in Can the Subaltern Speak: Reflections on the History of an Idea (New York: Columbia University Press, 2010) 121–22. Rajan illustrates this point through the difference between Friday (from Foe), whose tongue has been cut off, and Bhuvaneshwari Kumari, the subject of “Can the Subaltern Speak?” and suggested that despite his disenfranchised status as a slave, Friday is at best a “literal subaltern,” one who “cannot—but also will not speak,” whereas Bhuvaneshwari Kumari, the upper-caste Hindu woman, is the “figural subaltern,” one who “cannot—but in fact does speak.”
11 Such a claim could be made, given that Tilottama Misra has shown how similar were Senapati’s descriptions of Mangaraj and Dildar Mian to corresponding characters in Barua’s novella.

16 Sudipta Kaviraj “Laughter and Subjectivity,” 385–86. Kaviraj defines alankara as “literary or stylistic embellishment” and a “combination of rhetoric and poetics” (385). Being a babu himself, Bankim’s parody of education emerged from a “darkly ironic sense of history achieved through reflection upon the benefits and impositions of modernity (384).”

Baidik Bhattacharya demonstrates the difference between parody’s European literary origins and its postcolonial implications in “Jokes Apart,” Interventions 8.2 (2006): 282. Bhattacharya’s deep commitment to a Saidian-Orientalist framework, however, forecloses a comparative examination of humor. Anindita Ghosh’s work, as cited later, opens that possibility, allowing us to compare Bengali with Odia.
18 Sarkar discusses how this community of “unsuccessful bhadralok” revered Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a Brahmin priest who claimed to not have read books. Ghosh examines how books aimed at this group described the ill-effects of reading. Middle-class housewives, upon reading novels, ill-treated their mothers-in-law and drove their husbands to economic slavery to earn money for their luxurious ways.

19 The literature on this subject emerges from a sustained engagement with Benedict Anderson’s causal link between “print capitalism” and “imagined communities,” and is too rich to be summarized in a footnote. Two recent publications that summarize that vastness and spell out its implications for “world literature” and “comparative literature” respectively are Aamir Mufti’s “Orientalism and the Making of Indian Literature,” in Forget English (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2016), and Sumanyu Satpathy’s “Wall of Words: Fakir Mohan Senapati, Premchand and Language Controversies in Colonial India,” Comparative Literature Studies 53.2 (2016): 246–71. Mufti traces the genealogy of the Hindi-Urdu conflict, with its association of language (Hindi or Urdu) with communities (Hindu or Muslim) to the philosophical and philological work of Friedrich Schiller and William Jones, to conclude that Orientalism set the terms for what was later termed Indian literature. Satpathy surveys controversies from a wider geographical range, and while admitting that the “discourse of linguistic discord” was derivative, calls for scholars to examine how the connections between these controversies found their way into the fiction of individual writers. I follow Satpathy directly by comparing how prose fiction by Bankim and Senapati accommodated attitudes to books and reading, and Mufti implicitly by suggesting that “reading” illuminates richer worlds in non-Anglophone texts.

21 Pala was a folk tradition of performance, involving satirical sketches, and Tilottoma Misra has examined Six Acres and a Third in relation to an 1866 Assamese prose sketch by Hemachandra Barua. Misra, Tilottoma, “The Emergence of the Modern Subject in Oriya and Assamese Literatures: Fakir Mohan Senapati and Hemachandra Barua,” in Colonialism, Literature and Modernity: A View from India, ed. Satya Mohanty (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) 135–152 Google Scholar . The scholarship on the satirical voice of the narrator is vast. In their essay “Writing Peasant Life in Colonial India,” in Fakir Mohan Senapati: Perspectives on His Fiction, ed. Jatin Nayak (Jagatsinghpur, India: Prafulla Pathagar Publications, 2002) Jatin Nayak and Himanshu Mohapatra describe Six Acres and a Third as an “irreverent” re-creation of Lal Behari Day’s English novel Bengal Peasant Life. In his “Introduction” to the English translation of the novel, Satya Mohanty observed that the narrator can be likened to a “touter,” a “disreputable wit in Oriya culture” (6) and called Senapati’s “analytical realism” a contribution to “anti-colonial and demystificatory social thought.” In this same essay, Ulka Anjaria finds in Six Acres and a Third a kind of originary text of political satire, arguing that “Fakir Mohan set the stage for a further elaboration of the relationship between satire and politics by mobilizing the rich cultural history of humor” (4799). Following scholars who have examined Six Acres and a Third in relation to literary texts from Indian (Hindi, Assamese, Telugu) and global literary traditions (Spanish, English) I examine one aspect of the narrator’s “irreverence” by comparing it with book-talk in a contemporaneous, Bengali novelist.

Mishra finds in Saantani, the silent suffering wife of the landlord, Senapati’s nostalgia for a pre-colonial time when landlords cared for their tenants, against which the fictional landlord, Mangaraj, represents how colonial rule commodified relations among villagers. Anjaria argues that Six Acres and a Third is “a feminist text” because it interrogates silence on social and narratological levels, by representing the social silence of women like Saria and Saantani and the problem of describing such silence in fiction (154).
24 The reason for this, according to Priolkar, is “the volume and variety” of the books printed at the Serampore mission. See Kakba Priolkar, Anant, The Printing Press in India: Its Beginning and Early Development (Bombay, India: Marathi Shamshodhana Mandala, 1958), 70 Google Scholar .

28 Several historians have described the lack of Odia printing, and many attribute it to the fear of caste corruption by upper-caste Hindus. J. K. Samal writes that even as late as 1860, there were only seven teachers in the Orissa division of the Bengal presidency. See Samal, J.

29 Rangalal Mitra argued that there were not enough Odia readers to justify the expense of printing books in Odia, and Kanticharan Bhattacharya argued that Odia was in fact a dialect of Bengali, and thus it was in their own best interest for Odia readers to learn Bengali language and literature.

30 Utkal Dipika translates as “The Lamp of Utkal.” Utkal is an archaic name for the geographical area today known as Orissa. It comes from “Uttar Kalinga,” or “the northern part of Kalinga,” referring to the king Ashoka’s Kalinga Kingdom from the third century BC.

35 Sudipta Kaviraj in “Imaginary History” identifies the “seventeen horsemen” as the Muslim rulers who took over Bengal and lost it to the East India Company. The expression reflected a common perception of Bengali cowardice, as compared with, say, Rajput or Maratha resistance to colonial rule. Bankim’s novels revise this perception by describing the Bengali Hindu as an agent, not a victim.

Here, the narrator compares Jesus Christ feeding “twelve hundred of his flock with only two loaves of bread” (37). The second reference to the material book occurs in a later chapter of the same novel, titled “Cuttack Sessions Court,” where an English doctor swears by “the Holy Bible” before testifying in court (176).

44 The Odia Bhagabata was a vernacular re-creation of the Sanskrit Bhagavat Purana. This is one of the eighteen Puranas (histories) of Hinduism. Bhagavat Purana literally means “History of the followers of the Lord.” The poet Jagannath Das translated this into Odia in the fifteenth century, and in the centuries following, a vibrant culture of reading and writing developed around this text. Inscribing a personal palm-leaf manuscript with the text of the Bhagabata was considered an act of pious labor and inspired literacy because unlettered Odia-speakers learn the script simply to copy the Bhagabata for themselves.

51 Senapati, Six Acres and a Third, 58. Upendra Bhanja was a seventeenth-century Odia poet known for his verbal sophistry and eroticism. In the 1870s, at the height of the Odia linguistic nationalism, a bitter debate erupted between Odia nationalists, over the appropriateness of Bhanja’s erotic verses. Some argued that Bhanja should be studied as part of the Odia literary tradition, while others felt that the erotic content of his verses was inappropriate for nationalist and community-building purposes.
