The Concerns of CriticismShambhunathPramila GargRam Vilas Sharma has said while talking about Ralph Fox, "ForFox human life, society and literature are inseparable. The enthusiasmwith which he worked to change human life, the same enthusiasmhe showed in writing about literature. He was not the type of criticwho dealt in unemotional analysis of facts and figures; rather whateverhe wrote about literature, it was from his heart and feelings."(Introduction to Novel and Society) Unquestionably this statementis true for Ramvilas Sharmaji himself. In Hindi literature there hadbeen a crowd of unemotional analysts who as critics had dealt withfacts and figures only. He was different from such critics. He raisedHindi criticism to a higher level as a Marxist critic. He had putHindi criticism to that height which was possible when a critichas got a lofty goal and he tries to raise himself above mechanicalanalysis and when he has a definite vision of changing the wholehuman life. Today the place of criticism has shrunk a lot. Thisis not criticism but blatant praise, image management. Now is theseason of brand ambassadors, either it is paid criticism or an issueof management. Sometimes it is intentional massacre of ideologiesor an effort to move ahead in competition by treading over others.Now there is dearth of thought in criticism that is why everywhere30 :: April-June 2013fgndi •
