Poetics and Politics in Naming Ceremony ( Nwaran) in Hindu Culture

Abstract

The thesis entitled "Poetics and Politics in Naming Ceremony (Nwaran) in Hindu Culture ", deals with the ideology of power that is discursively hidden under the name of pious ritual "Naming Ceremony" which is done in Hindu society differently adding the middle names with the virtue of different castes according to the written importance, value and respect in Hindu creed. No history is true one that is why what is written in Vedas, Puranas etc. about the glory of naming ceremony is totally partial. It is merely the subjective and fictional one.
