"Literature is the comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of the nation."
- schiller
Literature has a deep and direct link with life and its relatives. It is a vague concept that literature is something which has only an abstract significance and that literature is a dweller of the land of fancy and imagination. A Creative literature grows out of the relatives and constructive literature has no significance.
Man's entire life including joy & the sorrows, miseries and comforts, tragedies and comedies are reflected through literature. A Motion that has no literature of it's own, as a matter of fact has no foundation. It may have a long history of our ancient literature, civilization, ancient vedic civilization with it's culture, has been mirrored in our ancient literature.
The words of Kalidas convey to us the greatness and glamour of nacient civilization.
An Ideal literature i.e. literature in the real sense of the term incorporates the highest value of man's creative life. This kind of literature throw a search light of logic on the basis of basic as well as ultimate realities of life. There is not a single zone of man's activities which is not affected creaively by import of a healthy literature.
In the social and political field, the great writers have been those who have reflected the spirit of their times. French and Russian revolution were brought by the french and russian writers, whose writings awoke the people and prepared them to fight against unrighteous things. It is a poet like shelley who can predict to a man his ultimate bright future and assure him of a radiant future.
