PERSONALITY OF THE CHARACTER OF THE NATIONAL HERO IN INDIAN AND KAZAKH LITERATURE
The topic of our article is about the heroism of Mountain in the novel «Mountain» by the philosopher, writer, poet Rabindranath Tagore and the heroism of Turar Ryskulov in the novel «Red Arrow» by Sherkhan Murtaza, a famous writer, journalist, translator, public figure of the Kazakh people. Although the life expectancy of these two writers is about sixty years, the main theme of their novel was radical changes in society. That is, the work and spiritual quest of the hero of the novel during the period of colonial policy are combined with self-knowledge and discoveries. The colonial policy of the English imperialists in India and the Russian colonial policy on Kazakh soil are based on many works and form a rich literary heritage in these countries. Some of the most important and unique of them are the novel «Mountain» in Indian literature and the novel «Red Arrow» in Kazakh literature. A heroic character in the literary heritage of each nation is a person who risked his life for the sake of the people during a crisis period of this society, striving for the interests of the majority, and not for his own personal interests. Hard times in society shape people, and people serve society, and not themselves. This article describes the character of the heroes of Mountain and Turar in Tagore's novels «Mountain» and «Red Arrow» by Sherkhan, their thoughts on the situation of the people and their heroic work along this path. The purpose of the article is to compare the influence of the work of the novel heroes of Kazakh and Indian literature on society, their activities that contribute to the awakening of the national spirit. The article uses such methods of scientific research as comparative analysis, differentiation, critical methods. As a result of the comparative analysis of the two novels, the similarity of the characters of the novels of two peoples who lived in two historical periods is described. The relative similarity of these two characters-heroes suggests that the risk of a new direction served to awaken the national spirit of society.
