Hindi literature; a garden of delight was often a tacit revolt against the literary exclusiveness of the Sanskrit scholars. Let Gaurav Goswami guides you through the different stages of Hindi literature….
A Name
The word, Hindi, is applied in a loose sense to the vernacular speech of the whole of North India between Punjab and Sindh in the west and Bengal in the east. There are chiefly four languages in this area, namely, Rajasthani, Western Hindi, Eastern Hindi and Bihari. Hindi has inbuilt patterns of stress and intonation. This is because it is derived ultimately from the principles which govern Sanskrit poetry. The intellect of a skilful poet can produce pieces of wonderful charm!
Hindi Literature’s Division
At King Harsha’s death in 646 A.D, his large Empire in North India fell which led to a period of confusion and disorder, which was only resolved under the Muhammadan conquest of Delhi in 1340 A.D., under Muhammad Bin Tughlak. In the intermediate, various Rajput clans came into prominence that filled the vacuum of power. This was the time when Hindi literature took its baby steps, which is generally classified intoAadi Kaal (VeergathaKaal) 10501375 A.D, Early Medieval Period (Bhakti Kaal) 1375-1700 A.D, Later Medieval Period (Reeti Kaal) 1700-1900 A.D and finally Adhunik Kaal 1900- present.
Aadi Kaal, 1050-1378
It was the region of Kannauj, Delhi, Ajmer stretching up to central India where the literature of AadiKaal; war and heroism theme, developed. The earliest vernacular literature of this period appeared in the form of the Bardic chronicles of Rajput’s. The most famous bard was Chand Bardai, whose, Prithviraj Raso, although full of eulogy and inflated with legends, and not to be taken as sober history. Nevertheless, the poem narrates the actual struggle between the Hindu King and his Muhammadan adversary.
