Zero boundary concept in literature
Zero boundary concept is a new philosophy introduced by poet Dr. Afzal Ali of West Bengal. The concept says that beyond an unit existence, there are no boundaries in the universe. The boundaries which we see may be overcome or may be neglected by means of intelligence and experience experience, use of science and tools and will-force of human being. So breaking of boundaries is a process which acts in a range Zero to infinite.According to those concept, one can achieve anything what one wishes. For this achievement, one should apply Zero boundary thoughts in personal life to be motivated and work. In this concept, it is depicted that there is not any absolute fittest set-up for an individual. The zero boundary concept also says that the theory of 'survival of the fittest 'is required to be reconsidered as in an alternate region, man can accommodate himself and can achieve one's highest capability in selective or alternative fields.In the name of survival of the fittest,  one can not be neglected or be finished from the field of one's activities. So survival in alternative region is the criteria, not survival of the fittest.

This thoughts can be applied in social system, in individual life and in art and literature. A book is published, namely, ' ZERO BOUNDARY CONCEPT ' in 2018 from terminus. The poet Dr. Afzal Ali now is working with his concept in poetry field with a lot of young bengali poets in West Bengal and also of Bangladesh. He with his associates are trying to create new horizon and direction of bengali poetry and have made it to some extent. Many poets are working and writing motivated by Zero boundary concept. A print literary magazine is being published monthly, named, 'Zero boundary kabita' simultaneously from Kolkata and Hooghly from West Bengal. A new publication opened, 'Zero boundary publication ' by name.

Zero boundary concept in literature

Zero boundary concept is a new philosophy, discovered and introduced by the Poet Afzal Ali of West Bengal in the year 2017 and was firstly published in that year from ' Chhoto Kabita', an online magazine of Bangladesh. Many people read and commented and gave their reactions on it. The matter spread then very rapidly throughout West Bengal and Bangladesh and other states. After some span of time, an online magazine was launched by the associate member, Ruma Dhyang Adhikary. The first online issue reached to about 12000 readers in India and abroad. The matter gain impetus from that time.

Main theme of this concept:

The concept says that beyond an unit existence, there are no boundaries in the universe. The boundaries which we see may be overcome or may be neglected by means of intelligence and experience, use of science and tools and will-force of human being. So breaking of boundaries is a process which acts in a range from Zero to infinite. According to this concept, one can achieve anything what one wishes. For this achievement, one should apply Zero boundary thoughts in personal life as motivational exercise and can work accordingly. In this concept, it is depicted that there is not any absolute fittest set-up for an individual. The zero boundary concept also says that the theory of 'survival of the fittest 'is required to be reconsidered as in an alternate region or process, man can accommodate himself and can achieve one's highest capability in selective or alternative fields. In the name of survival of the fittest, one can not be neglected or be finished from the field of one's activities. So auto survival in alternative region is the criteria, not survival of the fittest.

Here Zero is the optimum position of minimization where the boundaries could be minimized towards zero level because zero is not the state of complete empty or void. So zero boundary not says the state of void or nothingness. Zero boundary accept the boundaries and then challenge the boundaries to have it in minimized level so that our functional destination is to be achieved or reached. Man or unit can move through breaking or avoiding the so called systemic boundaries or countercurrents. To break the boundaries and to move towards achievement is called functional upliftment or upgradation. This upgradation process continues throughout one's life and ends in death.

In this concept, as boundarilessness is the criteria, so it is assumed that every man or unit is beautiful as well as good in qualitative scale in inner content , there by the concept of superior and inferior is considered to be rejected where the justification field is human being. One man can not be superior over another because in zero boundary it is thought that the total human being is supreme in nature.

Zero boundary concept believes in individual quality improvement policy. It says in every quality exertion or diligence, there exists art. That art may be unauthorized or unexposed. The intelligence and perseverance, which a man contributes in the process of journey towards upliftment himself, in that stepping, there exists configuration of art. So the artistic attitude which comes up through work of a man and for that goodness, every man deserves honor. Poetry, painting and writing are not the only ways or wings to express and establish art.

This thought can be applied in social system, in individual life and in art and literature. A book was published, namely, ' ZERO BOUNDARY CONCEPT ' in bengali version in 2018 from 'Terminus publishers ', West Bengal. A number of bengali poets now are working with this concept in poetry field in West Bengal. The associates are trying to create new horizon and direction of poetry and have made it to some extent. Many poets are working and writing motivated by Zero boundary concept. A print literary magazine is being published monthly, named, 'Zero boundary kabita' simultaneously from Kolkata and Hooghly of West Bengal. A new publication set up has been initiated, 'Zero boundary publication ' by name.

Zero boundary concept, when applied in poetry, it is seen that different directions to change the internal nature of a poem surfaces. As it is zero boundary, one is free from within, simultaneously one can change his writings in different ways. Then one may find variety types of poems such as Hybridity in poetry, Slice poetry, Elastic poetry, political poetry etc. According to this concept, it is said to break the inertia of words. Words by nature usually trend to stay in inactive mood. The inertia could be broken by applying force to the words. Here force means the capability and techniques of a poet to use words and sentences in a profound manner so that poems look deep from within and the words in a flying mood. The words in a flying mood as such these seems to be separated from the poem as such the words are likely to fly to tell a lot of meaningful talks and versions. This can be optimized by sense and sight of a reader or a poet. For example, in a poem if the word ' torch ' is used only, then it can not make profound and flying mood. But when it is used with the word ' Clive ' that means as ' Clive's torch', then it turns multitude and as such in flying mood. Here Clive's torch means ' of Robert Clive '. the historic figure in British India.

Some characteristics and features of Zero boundary concept  :

The philosophical theme has been discussed previously. In the aspect of poetry some features are in point of view.

As of Bengali post modernism, the concept not in a an attitude to revoke the old rhyms and rhythms, but to restructure in new form so that more interest can grow in this field. The zero boundary concept says to search new domain of thoughts and writings.

In this concept, liberal line of thinking is important rather than vertical and horizontal thinking and lookings as found in modern and post-modern characteristics.

Zero boundary concept not only says to update poetry, but points out the procedures how to update poetry also. Many aspects discussed regarding updating of poetry in the original book, ' Zero Boundary Concept '

Some says this concept is the next step of post modernism. Obviously this view is not totally rejectable because the characteristics of Zero boundary concept and poetry are different to some extent from post modernism and seems to be the next freeness position of post modernism. But some sharp differences obviously. A poem where more than one country's name are used, that not come under perview of this concept. Such as, one poem that utters the name of five to six countries and places become a Zero boundary category poem. This is not. Zero boundary rather says the genetic changes inside and within a poem. Without inner characteristics changes, Zero boundary poems will not be formed.

Zero boundary may be of two categories.

1: External Zero boundary : Where the poet is the authority to adopt in which category, the poem will be writen i.e. whether in rhythmic form or in prose form. Though this matter is not so important.

2: Internal Zero boundary : This says to change poetry in update manner and not only update form, it says total change within a poem from the conventional manner and to search new domain and directions of poetry. Practically it is not so easy however. It needs practice and search. The internal zero boundary could be achieved by means of use of words in new dimension, in new order, in new parameters, so that voice of one poem is changed. To search way from conventional to unconventional, journey from one word to another word will be such it seems more weightage, profound and meaningful. Imagery, satire , comparison, allegory, metaphor etc. not to be rejected totally , but motive will be to avoid those ornaments in a Zero category poetry. The discourse should be straight-say or straight-version where excess fat of emotional use of words to be avoided. This straight-version type of discourse usually make a poem update and of zero boundary category. Two or more words when arranged, they reflect meaningful and different voices. But when they turn separated, seems normal word without powered, as such behavior of one copper wire with or without electricity. Zero boundary says to use such configuration of words and components.

Difference between Post Modernism and Zero Boundary Concept : Some parameters and discussions. --

1: Zero boundary is a force, but post modernism is some characteristics and frames.

2: Zero speaks to break towards good and achievements.

Post modernism not speak to break but evoke to follow some rules and motives to refrain from modernism or modernistic pattern.

3: Zero boundary not specifically indicate any particularity but to strengthen from within to move forward.

Post Modernism inclines towards a system of some indications which involves rhyzomatic structures.

4: Post Modernism is next to modernism, where utmost freedom not achieved

Zero boundary is next to Post Modernism, but cherished for utmost freedom,  no particular structure of poetry, no stop.

5: Post Modernism says the sequence of dimension change, specifically from one para to another para keeping in mind the vision of horizontal thinkings.

Zero boundary inspires the unradicalisation of dimension change, instead of paragraph to paragraph,  but from line to line , word to word.

6: In Post Modernism,  open endedness means starting and finishing of a poem not as per normalcy. It may  add or deduct something extra words of a poem as readers choice

In Zero boundary,  open-endedness is not an important matter. It says boundarilessness in thoughts and in discourse and in selection of words.

7: Post Modernism may be stopped or may have been weakened in course of time or after certain duration because it was a situation based adoptions to cope up Modernism or to go away frommodernism. Practically the present time is not in favor of post modernism thoughts and materialisticly it exists no longer. Some likes to extend it in notion.

But Zero boundary is a system of continuous process in the thrill  of never ending. It reacts itself by changing its functioning proportionate to time, because Zero boundary is not pre-situation based to cope up any particular ism. It's an application of a thought or concept, which promotes regeneration of existence towards new one.

8: Zero boundary inspires diversity in external and internal nature of art, in poetry also. Diversity takes its impetus in hybridization system,  in new archives,  new zones giving emphasis to individuals capacity.

Post Modernism urges to maintain a classified nature where some specific indications is important. It is rather a mass motive than individual.

9:  Post Modernism visualize horizontal line of thinking, where differences,  accumulations, participations are criteria.

Zero boundary magnify liberal line of thinking. It may be vertical,  horizontal or anything where non-static is main criteria. Zero boundary give importance to individual upliftment. If individual is uplifted, the whole upliftment will automatically will be.

10: Post Modernism is a system of thoughts which was adopted by not a single fellow but participation of Larned fellows.

Zero boundary is a thought of particular nature which has one effective man behind.

11: Post Modernism trends mainly towards structural reforms of a poem specifically in verse form.

But Zero boundary emphasizes genetic changes in poems i.e. very internal and within.

12:  Zero boundary says the context of breaking inertia of words and make it in flying mood.

But in Post Modernism,  no such thinking used.

13:  Behind Zero boundary some particular narratives sets. There are some synthesis from the narratives.

In Post Modernism,  no particular narrative sets behind. It is a focus to oppose the margin, thoughts and process of Modernism.

14: In post modernism,  thinkers advised to go to terminals and " the other " was in important role. But doing this peripheral emphasizement,  another power center being created and another point of ego between editors and poets or between town and village being surfaced. Though abolition of any kinds of power-center was the fundamental criteria of it.

In Zero boundary  no such center is categorized as such no scope of further centralization of power as such no ego problem between editors and poets.

Span and activities of Zero boundary : Actually the span and activities of this concept is so broad and tends toward endless or infinite. A man can apply Zero boundary force in every field throughout his life unless he or she wants to stay in ' comfort set-up position '. This comfort set-up position depends upon one's own choice whether he or she will expand initiations further more or not.

1 : From zero boundary concept and group, one monthly print magazine is being published. About 400 poets are involved with the magazine by contributing their writings. The name of print magazine, ' Zero boundary kabita ' in bengali.
