| Abstract: | When the writer Chandra Prasad Saikia’s life is taken into consideration we come across some significant aspects which may speak a lot more about the theme of his novel Uttarkaal. He was born in the year 1927 at Aamguri, Sivsagar district in Assam. He was born to Durlav Chandra Saikia and Durgeswari Saikia. He was sent to prison twice during the Quit India movement in 1942. He was a teenager then. He had to serve prison terms twice –one for four months and the other for nine months. He cleared the Matriculation examination in 1945. In 1950 he completed the Bachelors’ Degree examination from Cotton College. In 1954 he completed M.A. in English from Calcutta University. Returning back to Assam he took to journalism. He was an ace journalist who brought about novelty to this profession. He was the founding editor of Asom Batori and Natun Dainik. He was also the founding editor of the literary journal Gariyoshi and editor of the two literary journals Axamiya and Prakash. He was also the pioneer behind organizing Annual Book Fair in Assam. His sojourn to Germany and experience at the Frankfurt World Book Fair was the inspiration behind his novel idea of a Book Fair in Assam. He was the recipient of the Sahitya Academy Award for his novel Maharathi(1995) and recipient of the Assam Valley Literary Award (2003). Until he breathed his last in 2006, this untiring litterateur and editor enriched Assamese literature and the field of journalism. In creative endeavor it is not always easy to reproduce the times that one has lived giving it a distinct colour. The autobiographical aspect often comes in the way of such creations. It depends on the writer’s choice which aspect to project in full and which to minimize. It is also a fact that at times there exists a thin line between the persona and the person(individual). Considering all these the Assamese novel Uttarkaal may be an interesting reading as far as the post-independence era is concerned. The writer of this novel Chandra Prasad Saikia has encapsulated the social reality of the fifth and sixth decade of the twentieth century Assamese society in this particular novel. Within limited sphere Saikia tries to portray the society of those turbulent times. By then colonialism had left our country, but the socio-economic disparity remained. The nascent nation has still a long way to go. All the stagnancy, the hesitance, dissatisfaction, dormant fury is being projected in this novel in parts. The title Uttarkaal itself, which literal meaning is Future Time, describes a situation that is incomprehensible. In this Paper an attempt is being made to explore a past whose relevance can be felt even today. The farsighted novelist Chandra Prasad Saikia was far ahead of his times. This is the life force of the novel Uttarkaal. |
