Criticism

                                            Criticism 

     Man is not perfect. So his actions. According to a saying in Sanskrit, the lines of thinking are different and not the same in all. Likewise knowledge and education varies from person to person. Criticism is nothing but a technique of judging the positive and negative aspects of his action or work by the knowledgeable persons or experts towards the possibility of improvement of the same.

Criticism and dissent are positive elements in the lives of individuals and societies. Criticism is nothing but a part of intellectual exchange. “ Criticism may not be agreeable  but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. “ It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things and hence scope for improvement.

Just for the sake of criticism, one shouldn’t criticize. The critique should be intelligent and knower of the subject on which he is basing his comments.

Don’t criticize what you can’t understand. In the words of Alfred Tennyson,

“ Once in a golden hour, 

   I cast to Earth a seed,

   Up there came a flower,

  The purple said, a weed.”

Criticism is the backbone of appreciation in literature. The poet writes , but it’s the readers who enjoy it. The famous Sanskrit poet Kalidasa while writing his immortal epic Raghuvamsham ( Great line of Raghu , the great king) requests wise men to go through his poem to assess it. In his words,

“ Then be it heard by the wise, who can well discern between good and bad; The purity of gold as well as its impurity is tested in the ( refining ) fire.”

Thus Literary criticism is a must and a welcome feature as it helps the readers to understand and appreciate deeper meanings and its impact on society and culture.
