[Neelima Chauhan]

Following is translation intent of my proposal of a study of Hindi Identity
Construction on Hindi Blogs.  under Independent Research Fellowship.

This research proposes to do an online study of Hindi hyper text on Hindi
blogs.   It will be an attempt to make a critical appreciation of Language
and style of hypertextual prose as it flows through the terminals of Hindi
Bloggers. It will be an online study which will take in account the existing
blogs, Hindi Networks, Blog Archives, Comments etc. Narratives from Hindi
Online community will be collected. Objective is to identify the
construction of Grand narrative of 'Hindi Jati' (Hindi nationality) as
described in Hindi Literary Criticism especially that by Ram Vilas Sharma.
This construction of Hindi Jati with geographical space becoming meaningless
(or less important atleast) will be explored.
            As research will be an online study therefore its progress will
be available to all interested in real time. Findings of the work will be
shared through a Weblog Publication and same will be presented at final
workshop.
