Abstract

The Oxford Reference Dictionary defines "violence" in the following terms: i) exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house) ii) injury by distortion, infringement, or profanation iii) intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force (of the storm) iv) vehement feeling or expression. The term "pessimism" is defined in the following terms: i) a gloomy view or disposition: a tendency to expect an unfavourable outcome; ii) the belief that actual world is the worst possible; or iii) that all things tend to be evil. It is in the light of the first two definitions that the novel "The Inheritance of Loss" is analysed. The world Kiran Desai presents is the world bereft of beauty, finer feelings, love, dignity, decency, and order. Sophie Kalkreuth says, "---- the  fanatical insistence on place, belonging is one way in which Desai's characters handle their frustrating and humiliating encounters with the world that constantly assault their notions of order and dignity". The novel also addresses the issues of Nepalese rights with the riots of GNLF (Gorkha National Liberation Front). Here in the novel we could find the traces of violence. The GNLF agitates for rights and justice for the majority of Nepalese. The violence in form of intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force is found in one of the major characters Jhemubhai Patel and in his relationship with his wife, Nimi.

Vernacular Abstract

गोंड भारत की प्रमुख जनजातियों में से एक है। मध्‍य प्रदेश और छतीसगढ के पठारी तथा जंगली भागोंकी में अनेक जनजातियों के लोग रहते है जिसमें सर्वाधिक संख्‍या गोंड जनजाति की है।मध्‍य प्रदेश में गोंड जनजातियों का विस्‍तार सतपुडा रेंज के छिंदवाडा बैतूल, हरदा, होषंगाबाद, सिवनी, नरसिंहपुर तथा मंडला जिलो में प्रमुख रुप से फैला हुआ है । इस जनजाति में धार्मिक अनुष्‍ठान अन्‍य जातियों और जनजातियों की तरह ही होता है। आधुनिकता और शासकीय योजनाओं के बावजूद भी ये अपनी धार्मिक परम्‍परायें आज भी बनाये हुई है। जबकि संतोषी एवं जीने खाने की मानसिकता परिश्रम और रुढिया इनके जीवन से आज भी प्रथक नहीं हो रही है।
