Literature and Society: A Reflection

Dr. Vishwas Valvi

Abstract: In whatever situation a man living in a society, there is some kind of thought flowing over him. Although man is at the center of the social entity, he receives ideological lessons from childhood. After becoming wise, this sociable human follows some particular ideological system or goes ahead to represent it on the stage. Food, clothing and shelter are the means of material survival in any society, while different schools of thought form the ideological meeting of people. While thinking about literature and society, a bridge is created between literature and society. On this bridge, a social man is sometimes seen as zealous towards the nation through nationalist literature, sometimes as a Marxist who fights for his economic rights, and sometimes as a historian who proves historical principles through historical facts! Ultimately, man appears to be a social animal who gains scientific vision through the conflict between science and religion.
