The Prawah and the Prabhav: A Critical Study of the Inner and the Outer Travel Quests in Select Travelogues on the Ganga

Abstract

Hardeep Kaur’s “The Prawah and the Prabhav: A Critical Study of
the Inner and the Outer Travel Quests in Select Travelogues on the Ganga”
examines the quest of the travelers exploring the river Ganga. It reads the
traveler as an active agent, in the pursuit of unraveling the mysteries of the
spiritual and sacred Ganga. The impact of the river on the travelers is analysed at two levels, i.e. at the level of prawah and prabhav. They become two ways of interacting with the river which have their own problematics.
