Ramnita Saini Sharda — 2019-11-29

Ice Candy Man is a book by a woman about the women who have suffered displacement and the trauma of the Partition of 1947. The paper looks into the manner in which the women characters in the novel are portrayed, how their silence and suffering becomes a voice of about one lakh women who suffered the physical abuse and violation; rejection and dislocation; the split between the conscious and the dissociated self, as the consequence of the partition because Sidhwa believes that 'victory is celebrated on a woman's body, vengeance is taken on a woman's body. That's very much the way things are…’ While India awakened to its freedom, many women had lost theirs. Rape, violence, censure, abuse, atrocities, lynching, prostitution, brutality, are some of the epithets that only partially express the layered suffering written in the common fate of the women of different generations, different religions, different classes, different ethnicities. Bapsi Sidhwa allows a peep into the psyche of women right from a seven years old child to the old God Mother. Also, as Bapsi tells the story of partition we hear the narrative from the child, Bapsi had herself witnessed the partition as a child and the trauma became an integral part of her memory which she shared in the form of the novel.

A Study On The Effects Of Power And Politics On Employee Loyalty In It Companies In Chennai

Mr.R.Sivarajan — 2019-11-10

This study explores the effects of power and politics in an organisation on employee loyalty. There is very less research on the study of the relationship between employee loyalty and power expression and politics on subordinates. Hence, the researcher feels that this study would fill the gap in the available literature.There are two specific reasons for the choice of the study in IT and ITES companies. This sector has greater number of employees on roll due to technological advancements and the overwhelming interest shown by the employees to work in IT and ITES companies. Superiors are always accountable for the actions and proceedings of the superiors. It may be the thought on the part of superiors to get work done effectively from their subordinates. At times it may also be the attitude of the superiors in expressing their power to overrule the subordinates. This study included 200 employees and data was collected across various IT and ITES companies in Chennai. The finding of this study indicates that as the superior exhibits more power on the subordinates there is a decrease in the loyalty of the employee holding upon the organisation.

Groundnut is called as the king of oil seeds. Groundnut seeds contain high quality of edible oil, digestible protein and carbohydrates, calcium, iron and vitamins. India is the second largest producer of groundnut in the world. Adoption of improved groundnut technology by groundnut cultivators mainly depends on effective utilization of sources of agricultural information. It is observed that improved groundnut technologies are available but that technologies are not reaching to the groundnut cultivators in adoptable form for better crop yield. This gap may partially to be filled by use of various sources of information viz., personal localite, cosmopolitans, mass media exposure, commercial agencies and non-government organizations. The study was taken-up in Sankari and Magudanchavadi block of Salem district. A sample size of 120 groundnut cultivating farmers was selected and thirteen socio-economic and psychological variables were selected to study the Information management behavior of the respondent in groundnut cultivation.

Evaluation Of Properties And Its Enhancement For High Performance Steel

Dr. S. Chakradhara Goud — 2019-11-10

Structural steel has been used in construction in the United States for more than 100 years. The material and its many products have undergone significant changes since the initial applications. Some of these were prompted by demands for higher strength and improved economies of construction, and many were caused by developments in joining techniques and fabrication. Increasingly complicated and demanding service and other environmental conditions have also been important. A brief review of some early steel developments is presented, but the major focus of the paper is today’s requirements for high performance steels, including the properties of tensile strength and stiffness, ductility, toughness, weldability and corrosion resistance. High-strength steels for tailor welded blanks (HSS-TWBs) refer to the stamping blanks or hydroforming tubular blanks that are made from parent blanks of dissimilar materials containing at least one HSS, or from the same HSS but with different thicknesses. HSS-TWBs have received great interest from manufacturing automotive bodies and other structural components where light weight is of primary consideration. The motivation to tailor a blank with dissimilar materials or thicknesses is to better distribute mass/weight and strength in a component, so that required structural functionalities (e.g. strength and safety, crashworthiness) can be better achieved at a reduced cost (by reducing the number of stamping parts and saving trimmed materials)

“An Indian Woman Piled Up To Her Silences”: A Reading Of Jayanta Mahapatra's Select Poems

Dr. V. Kavitha Elzie — 2019-11-10

Every age throws up new problems or issues which provide the artist with his or her themes for treatment in their favorite art form. Art is termed today as an "autobiography of society" as it gives expression to the hopes and aspirations, fears and frustrations of the people. W.H. Hudson rightly observes, "that literature is a social product and inevitably reflects the life of the era out of which it springs" (94). So art has a social function as it recreates human life in its moments of pain and pleasure. Jayanta Mahapatra, one of our times finest idiom makers, is rather a late bloomer of the twentieth-century Indian English poetry. He is perhaps one of the least studied of the major Indian English poets though he has to his credit seventeen volumes of poetry. Most of Mahapatra's poems issue out of the pangs he experiences at the tragic plight of the poor and the vulnerability of women and children. He is deeply disturbed by the distress of destitute, deceived and deserted women. Longsuffering wives, jilted beloveds, harassed harlots, rustic lasses, urban ladies and victims of rape and dowry figure prominent in many of his poems. The paper to be presented shows that patriarchy prevails preventing women from full enjoyment of the fruits of the freedom conferred by democracy. Peace and security still elude women back at home and in society at large.

Marxian Conception of Human Nature: A Rival Theory of Christianity

K Nirupama Singha — 2019-11-20

Marxism and Christianity are often labeled as rival ideologies in the history of western philosophy. Both theories have given different interpretations of the goal of human life. The aim of this paper is to do a comparative study of Marxian and Christian views of human nature. Karl Marx has presented a materialistic account of human nature quite distinct from the traditional account as preached by the Christianity. He was more concerned about the scientific way of interpreting the nature of man. Marx should be regarded not merely as an economic and social theorist, he must be considered as a philosopher for advocating the idea of estranging men from a dominating society. But the method he employed to do so is economical in nature. We cannot deny the fact that economic conditions are extremely required while studying the human history and social situations. And before Marx people are not much aware of this fact. Marx can be given a great deal of appraisal in view of the certitude that we are now at least aware of this without much difficulty. Although Marxian ideologies are extremely influential, his ideas are also open to some serious criticisms which will be addressed in the later sections of the paper.

Aman Jyoti — 2019-11-12

In the process of poverty eradication and reducing gender discrimination, the government has been implementing various policies and schemes providing means towards women's development and empowerment. The improvement in means of communication, the spread of education and a host of government policies favouring the deprived classes effect greatly while weakening the caste system which contributed to altering the nature of social relationships.[1] This viewpoint was made in a concrete sense with the concept of planning at the national level in 1950. In the first two Five Year Plans, an effort was made to give relief to the people living Below Poverty Line (BPL) in a perpetual state of neglect for centuries out of which majority were the Dalit, and surprisingly more than their proportion into the total population.[2] The women face discrimination in access to a dignified life, for legal redressal, for equal wages, for her right in the decision-making process, and also to get benefits from the schemes initiated by the government for their welfare.

Ravi Khangai — 2019-11-16

The social reforms that started in India in the 19^th century, threw up many interesting debates. The Indian intelligentsia reacted differently to the rapidly changing time under colonial subjection. The debate between Tilak (1856-1920) and Agarkar (1856-1895) gives us a fairly good understanding of the social and intellectual churning that went on in western Maharashtra, especially among the elites of society. This article explores the finer points of the debate in the context of colonial political atmosphere that also produced the anti-colonial nationalist movement in the late 19th century. But how relevant was this debate for the vast majority of women in India?

BRITISH ECONOMIC IMPACT IN INDIA

Dr.Manjit Kaur Bajwa — 2019-11-16

The battle of Plassey stands as an important landmark in the economic history of India. The foreign conquest of the country started the process which culminated in the transformation of India’s economy into a colonial economy. In its first phase, the impact of foreign rule on India’s trade and industry was both violent and destructive. The trade and industry of the country, more particularly that of Bengal, received a severe jolt as a result of the policies of the East India Company and corrupt practices of its officials. This was, of course, short lived phase. By the end of the 18th century, British rule had been established in large parts of the country and had come to stay. Britain therefore, came to look upon India as her colony which had to be developed in the imperial interest.

Ravi Khangai — 2019-11-18

‘Ahiṃsā Parmo Dharma’ (Non-violence is the greatest duty), resounds through the Indian epic Mahābhārata number of times and yet it is full of wars. This dichotomy seems to be a reflection of the conflicting tendencies in human life.

The epic does not project any stereotypical ideal way of life, but looks at it from different perspectives. Not having a war is probably the best situation, but the evil may grow if not resisted.

Reality Through The Lens Of Print Media In Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go

V. Priyadharsini — 2019-11-23

The paper entitled “Reality through the lens of print media in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go” aims to explore the literary perspective and mainly engages with the themes of the novel. It also examines various kinds of medical issues related to cloning and organ transplants, in which human clones are forced to donate their organs in an alternate reality, set in 1990s England. The storyline does not evolve around any legal proceedings, nor is there any direct reference to the law. Instead, Ishiguro actually confronts the reader with a state of lawlessness. He depicts a world characterized by an uncertain distance separating the characters and the law. By reading Ishiguro from law and literature perspective, a new understanding of the various nuances is formed. Those nuances interconnect to form the complex socio-legal configuration. This paper focuses on the concept of existential anguish in the context of the novel’s story. It also encourages the readers to study the real meaning and purpose of human life.

Envisioning The Realm Of Refugee History: An Analysis Of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees

Anjali Vijay — 2019-11-24

History recon iterates and deciphers the bygone ages and events. The ethnicities, values and beliefs held by preceding generations mark an indelible impact. It also records despair, wretched experiences and traumas of underprivileged, colonized and marginalized sections. Present culture can obviously no longer be described as closed spheres or in terms of inner homogeneity. Ethnography moves from its conventional single site location, contextualized by macro constructions of a large social order. Migration signifies a sudden and alien incursion in to the ecology of arts in Europe. Refugee history can be outlined from pre-modern times onwards. Refugees are persecuted and retained in remote areas, have to lead a miserable life. Cultural history synchronizes the cultural imbrications of past and groups of individuals together across other provinces. It has been considered as a methodology which deliberates on the realm of representation and the struggle over meaning for discovering the pursuit of historical understandings. The paper seeks to analyze the paradigm of refugee studies in the two stories Black- Eyed Woman and War Years from the Short story collection The Refugees.

Prevarication And Cognizance In The Post-Truth Epoch

Akhila. J. S — 2019-11-24

In the post-modern society the social media culture has deeply rooted in our day-to-day life. It has infiltrated our lives. The cultural sphere can be perceived in the contemporary scenario which promote variant prototype of knowledge and power. Today we have a transubstantiated perception of our own existence. Everything is decided by the so-called social networking systems. We are actually being trained and moulded as per the needs and protocols of the social media. The norms of the social medias like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., has subverted the existing notions of the human mind and thus they create a new dimension for our life. In the present contemporary society everything works under a false deception. It looks so perfect in its outer cover but it is not. We are more likely to imitate others in their mannerisms and attitude. Thus we are repudiating our own selves. We want to be like others and we strive hard to be like them. If we cannot satisfy it then depression arises. We would like to post pictures like others on social media and want to be accepted by others. If we do not get the desired response, we get easily hurt by being ‘rejected’. We are always under the false consciousness which is being created by the social hub. The paper entitled “Prevarication and Cognizance in the Post- Truth Epoch” is an attempt to analyse the ways in which the human psyche has been tangled by the post-truth deceits and beguilement.

Tales and Tradition against Silence: Narration as Power in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts

Anjitha S Kurup — 2019-11-24

The suppression of the women's voice is a conspicuous strategy formulated by patriarchal culture to keep a tight rein on the presence of women both in social and traditional realms. Much-eulogized movement of western feminism has largely disregarded the experiences and sufferings of women, which invited counter feminist movements such as Black feminism, Indian feminism, and many diverse cultural oriented feminist movements. Consequently, this plurality has definitely increased the scope of feminism in a plausible manner. Tradition, myth and culture are the grappling forces against which the discourse of feminism has to flourish. The patriarchal exclusion of women from the cultural scenario has rendered them voiceless, conspicuously in countries like China which cherishes profuse cultural heritage. The Chinese practiced polygamy and considered having concubines as an insignia of their aristocracy. Furthermore, the inferior status of the Mongolian race has further problematised the troubled consciousness as far as the Chinese women diaspora is concerned. There are only a handful of works by the Chinese American women writers which genuinely be able to capture the subtlest nuances of their divided existence. Maxine Hong Kingston’s autobiographical work, The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts occupies a prominent place in the literary oeuvre of feminism as it effectively confronts the injustices meted out to women. This article is an attempt to analyse Kingston's superlative skill in juxtaposing tradition, tales and reality and how far she succeeds in asserting her true self with the power of her narrative proficiency.

Third World Women: Gender Issues in Tamil Nadu Agricultural Sector

Dr. P. Vinayagamurthy — 2019-11-24

India is developing country. The main occupation is agriculture, because 70 per cent of the population is involved in this occupation. Many women in developing countries are occupied in agriculture. Women occupation in agriculture in low income countries in Asia is between 60-80 per cent. In almost, Asian countries, the number of women employed in agriculture as a percentage of the economically active population is higher. Long standing obstacles faced by rural women in terms of limited access to productive resources (Land, Credit, Inputs, Transport, Extension Services, Storage and Technical Assistance) prevent them from adopting new technologies or encoring them economies of scale. This paper examines the ways in which greater integration through agriculture impact women and men differently and ensures implications for growth. This paper finds that agriculture creates many jobs for women in agriculture sector. Jobs that bring many household resources under women control leads to greater earnings in the family. Although, women are more than ever finally employed, differences in wages earned by women and men persist in all countries. Women also have less access to productive resources especially in developing countries. Due to these reasons and women’s lower education level compel the women have a greater tendency to remain in subsistence agriculture. Professional women continue to discrimination in hiring and promotion. The impact of liberalization and globalization on women is important not only because they represent almost half of the total population, but also because they face constraints, which make them less beneficial from the liberalization. Once different impacts are ascertained well designed policy responses may aid women in taking advantage of greater openness to agriculture.Now the women’s are more working than men & most of the Farming activities (80%) is done by Females so this era is called as Feminization of Agriculture & Female face of Farming.This implies the women based empowerment by Agriculture.

‘Kalapani’; Historical Fiction Reconstructing the Nationalistic Tendencies of the 1990s in India

Gayathri S.S — 2019-11-24

The visual representations of creative work have the greatest ability to influence people and to propagate political agendas.Being the largest democratic country in the world, the major agenda of India’s nationalist principles is associated with the concept of ‘unity in diversity’. Unfortunately the over influence of religious polarizations in the society stand as a threat to this policy of the democratic government. The need for a peace-making mediator to regulate the balance between different religions existing in the Indian society arises out of this kind of a situation.As a result, film has been chosen as the most powerful instrument to spread this propaganda of inclusive nationalism in the minds of people. It is also notable that the cultural stereotypes produced by these films influence a larger audience.The encapsulation of historical events polished with the fictional coat in a film recalls the romantic tendencies of the past to evoke pleasure in the minds of the audience just as the historical fictions. Kalapani is one such film which reminds the purgation of emotions by depicting the harsh realities of life from the past. The present study focuses upon how the film represents the propaganda of inclusive nationalism. The paper also tries to portray the film as narrating fictional story in the historical context.

Creating Spaces: The Wounded Women Psyche in the Selected Novels of Jaishree Misra and Githa Hariharan

Molly.M.A — 2019-11-24

Any surface layer of literature cannot ignore the undercurrents that shape its existence. Writers, women writers in particular, knowingly or unknowingly, are absorbed into the myriad forces which shape the experience of women in society. Being conscious of women’s marginalization in a society where male formulate the rules of living, they cannot deny or ignore the forces working towards women’s subjugation. The identity of woman has been harmed and twisted and her very position as human being is subjugated under the overpowering male-domination. Jaishree Misra and Githa Hariharan, by and large, centre their novels on the marriages of their women protagonists, revealing in the process, the power relations, gender discriminations and the travails of a woman in the family, which gives as picture of the position of the Indian women in society. Marriage is generally viewed as the objective and fate of women and therefore it plays an important role in their lives. But unfortunately, it leads them to their confinement within the parameters men mark out for them. Woman’s position in the family appears to be paradoxical as she is subjugated and suppressed and yet she is indispensable for running the family. The spouse has taken a wife to be a quiet helper and partner in his life. They have never regarded her to be an individualof flesh and blood with sentiments like themselves. The present paper is focused on the sufferings of being a woman and how they resolve their oppression and emerge as strong and authentic individuals.

The Politics Behind the Representation of British ‘Raj’ in the Novel APassage to India’ by E.M. Forster

Neethu Anna Tharakan — 2019-11-24

E.M Forster set on a voyage to discover the goodness in human life. He valued mutual trust, understanding and sympathy – the qualities hidden inside the human heart. He dedicated himself to the improvement of the essential human spirit. He was always busy finding the ‘human norm’. He always felt that life needs a proportion and no doubt his novels are excellent examples for this. A Passage to India is regarded as Forster’s greatest novel. In this work he criticizes the British rule in India. It is a profound statement about the conflicts faced by the colonizers and the colonized. Usingsymbolism, rhythm etc Forster evokes in us a real world. The novel sensitively traces the ups and downs of the relationship between the British and the Indians. My paper titled The Politics behind the Representation of British ‘Raj’ in the novel A Passage to India’ critically analyses the politics behind the use of the word ‘Raj’ along with the British. Is this possible? It’s all left to the readers to decide…

Retail Choice Behaviour: Malls vs. Unorganized Markets

Nithya Raguprasadh — 2019-11-24

The idea of shopping has dramatically changed over the years. It is no longer a mere necessity involving need-based purchases. The gradual emergence of organized retail sector has transformed the consumers’ view of shopping who now demand experiential features such as dining, movies, recreation and lifestyle activities. The organized formats such as malls, hypermarkets and chain stores have taken over the traditional markets and kirana stores. Thus, consumers choosing their shopping site has become a complex decision making process. This study aims to qualitatively explore the various factors which influence the consumers while choosing between malls and unorganized markets for shopping. For this, semi-structured interviews with frequent shoppers were conducted to collect data. The analysis yielded various determinants of consumers’ retail choice behaviour which were classified into three broad categories i.e. consumer characteristics, characteristics of the shopping trip and consumer perception of retail characteristics. The determinants have been discussed along with concluding remarks, study limitations and future research directions.

Igbo Identity: Chinua Achebe’s Readings on British Colonial Literature

Sonia Varghese — 2019-11-24

The continent of Africa had been synonymous with abstractions as darkness, fear and fright; such an estranged identity had in fact been stitched and constructed by the invading west, whose innovative and strategic dissemination of thoughts had pulled Africa into unimaginable marginal depths. Decades of exploitation had denigrated the African colour, race, language, literature and culture to a position occupying below the mediocre rungs. The independence movements in the early 1950’s and subsequent induction of liberal education had infact created a sturdy platform for African writers to voice themselves. Nigerian literature had carved a unique enclave amidst the vast panorama of African literature, for it abounds not merely in exhibitionism of its once vibrant culture, but also the challenges it facedin the post colonial era. Chinua Achebe, though belonging to an earlier generation of Nigerian writers, still content a position for ethical research, for he helped construct not merely an African identity (which was shredded and disseminated by colonialism) but also helped reinterpret the African past from an African point of view, which had indeed proved a marker for the later and contemporary writers. This paper attempts to re read through the lines of the seminal essay by Achebe- An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. One of the prime objectives of the paper will be to highlight the marginalizing, tarnishing and most aptly the racist tendencies, as mentioned in the essay. The paper would also intend to discuss and remind the readers of the significance of Achebe in establishing the colossal African literature.

Subjugated Women and the Politics of Power in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale

Soumya Prakash A — 2019-11-24

While there is plenty of traditional feminist critique of male power structures in Atwood's works, and particularly in The Handmaid's Tale. This study is especially significant because it is the first to adopt Foucauldian-feminist reading of the novel. Placing the novel in the contexts of Atwood's career, feminism, and dystopian literature, provides a fuller understanding of how the novel functions as an expression of the disunity of women. Thus, present paper focuses of The Handmaid's Tale from the consequences of patriarchal control and "traditional" misogyny, to the matriarchal network, and a new form of misogyny: women's hatred of women. The paper concludes that subjecting women in the novel is a systematic process, which produces them as always, the inferiors.

Questioning Brahmanical Hegemony Towards Women: A Focus on Contemporary Indian Drama Films

Soumy Syamchand — 2019-11-24

Many regional writers have highlighted the Brahmin way of life, particularly the orthodoxies and patriarchal oppression practiced on women among the upper caste Brahmins in India. The present article focuses on contemporary Indian cinemas that present patriarchal Hindu attitudes to women and sexuality as in need of reform. Selected films have met with hostility from Hindu conservatives and have also been accused of Orientalist misrepresentations. While these objections highlight the contested nature of “authentic” Hindu identity remain powerful indictments of patriarchal hegemony in Hinduism. This paper seeks to explore how power is operated in Brahmanical patriarchy. Generally, Brahmanical patriarchy uses power to subjugate women as passive victims of patriarchal oppression and in the case of men they use power for male domination. For this study, I have selected two – Mohan Sharma’s 1912 Malayalam drama film Gramam, Deepa Mehta’s 2005 Hindi/ English movie Water which explores the plight of a young woman in a patriarchal Hindu family in the nineteenth century. This paper analyzes the hypocrisy and two-facedness of Brahmins in executing their power. These films question the Brahmanical roots and the customs and rituals associated with it. He also hits at the caste and religious codes, traditional and cultural values.

The Reclusive Exclusive Life of Women: Unwinding Why Woman Becomes a Sex Object and How Patriarchy Cause Crime Against Woman in Mahesh Dattani’s Tara.

Varsha Ajith — 2019-11-24

The aim of this paper is to examine the varied aspects, the suffering embedded in the lives of Indian women and their experience portrayed in Mahesh Dattani’s play “Tara”. Dattani in this work shows his concern in the issues of bias against a girl child over a boy child. This study focuses on the life of an Urban-middle class Indian family that showers favouritism towards a boy child ignoring the life of his Siamese twin sister Tara. Dattani’s “Tara” explores gender and patriarchal norms function in Indian society to marginalise, exploit and ill-treat the other. The present study tries to ideate and reconstruct the prevailing unequal order. If literature is a reflection of society, Dattani’s works provides a powerful view of it, shedding light on numerous issues that are relevant to Indian society. The play deals with the tragic death of Tara and explores the main reason for her death as gender prejudice her society and family holds. She was segregated from the mainstream society on account of being a girl. This paper looks at how women are treated in a male chauvinistic society and also at how they suffer under patriarchy. “Tara” is critically analysed using the theory of feminism and how the effects like discrimination and loss of identity are viewed in this play.

Changing Scenarios Of Socio-Economic Life Of Desua Bhumij Tribal Community, Odisha-An Analysis During The Period 1961-2011

Anwesha Chakraborty — 2019-11-25

In Odisha sixty two indigenous communities have been registered in recent decades and DesuaBhumij is considered as one of them. This typical human race lives in the remote areas of Balasore, Keonjhar, Koraput, Malkangiri districts of Odisha. The DesuaBhumij constitutes nearly 0.005% of Orissa’s total tribal population. They live with others in a village but prefer to build their own wards where houses are connected with narrow lanes. They have typical house structure with bamboo and other saplings thatched with straw. The walls are plastered and decorated with designs in various colours. This tribe is divided into a number of exogamous totemic groups called clan or killi. In the clan system, marriage by capture, service and intrusion are also prevalent. Sanga Baha or widow remarriage and cross-cousin marriage are in vogue. They are mainly agriculturists but they also work in diversified occupations like mining, servicing, quarrying etc. They grow some rabi crops like oilseeds, pulses in their uplands and vegetables in kitchen garden. Going through their demography pattern, it is observed that population of DesuaBhumij has increased from 260 to 404 during the period 1961 to 2011, where 201 are males and 204 are females. Literacy rate increased to 11.70% to 56.98% and total workers increased to 143 to 174 during that period. Main workers are more in numbers than marginal workers. About their marital status, it is noticed that a total number of 239 unmarried, 143 married, 20 widows and 2 divorce cases are reported in 2011. But the total number of child had decreased during that period, 107 in 1961 to 48556 in 53.TheDesuaBhumij no longer remains untouched in their remote forested abode. To bringing out their all-round developments, differential micro plans are running in their neighbouring districts. In term of road links, housing, livelihood pattern, healthcare and hygiene, certain developmental projects have been undertaken in those areas with major priorities to the spread of education and residential schools for boys and girls.

Post-Modernism in History

Mr. Narayan A. Shinde — 2019-11-25

Postmodernism broadly refers to a socio-cultural and literary theory, a shift in perspective that has manifested in a variety of disciplines including the social sciences, art, architecture, literature, fashion, communications, and technology. Postmodernism can be associated with the power shifts and dehumanization of the post –Second World War era and the onslaught of consumer capitalism. Modernism was an earlier aesthetic movement which was in vogue in the early decades of the 20 the Century. Postmodernism shares many of the features of Modernism. Both schools reject the rigid boundaries between high and low art. Postmodernism’s use of lighthearted parody, which was also used by Modernism. Postmodernism refers to a cultural, intellectual or artistic state lacking a clear central hierarchy or organizing principle and embodying extreme complexity, contradiction, ambiguity, diversity, interconnectedness or inter preferentiality. Postmodernism questions the specific notions of monolithic universals and encourages fractured, fluid and multiple perspectives. Challenging the social basis of assertions, postmodernist philosophers attack unities seen as being rooted in the Enlightenment philosophy. Postmodernism was originally a reaction to modernism. Modernism made the Enlightenment the pivot of its critical enquiry. So this attack on modernism amounts to an indirect attack on the establishment of modernism itself as a movement that subverts fragmentation and celebrates unity and coherence.

Causes And Consequences Of Indian Rupee Depreciation Against Us Dollar In Indian Economy

Dr. G. KAVITHA — 2019-11-25

Currency depreciation is a fall in the value of a currency in a floating exchange rate system. As the country adopted such system, the rate of Indian rupee with another currency is determined by market forces such as supply and demand. Currently Indian rupee depreciation is become the main topic in Indian economy. The value of Indian rupee declined more than 60 percent, during the past ten years. Since 2010, the rupee value declined rapidly, i.e. one US dollar equals Rs. 45.71 in 2010. But now (in 2019) one USD equals 71.80 INR, which is an all time low on 09 October 2018 (Rs.74.39/US dollar). The declining rupee make negative impacts on various sectors which may decide the GDP of India. The dependency on imports, current account deficit (CAD) and fiscal deficit affected the economy adversely. In this paper, I try to explore the various factors of rupee depreciation, the consequences that makes in country’s economy and discussed what can we do to beat such bad economic enemy.

Historical Sensitivity In Colonial Bengal

Dinesh Chandra Ray — 2019-11-25

There was absence of an authentically documented history of Bengal cum Bengalees even during the 80s of the nineteenth century. Bengalees did not have a history—this misconstruction had turned into a maxim.¹ The lack of interest among the Bengalees regarding historical practices had augmented the frustration of the Bengali intellectuals like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Rabindranath Tagore. For these reasons we can find that Bankim Chandra chattopadhyay had not only pleaded for historical studies but also emphasized upon the importance of writing of history through his various essays like ‘Bangaleer Bahubal’ (Muscle power of the Bengalees), ‘Bharatkalanka’(The Disgrace of India), ‘Banglar Itihash Sammondhe koekti Katha’ (A Few Words Regarding the History of Bengal and many others). Out of his frustration from the unavailability of any written history of Bengal, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay had lamented that the history of Greenland has been written; even that of Mawri people is on page; however, the land that was constituted of the places like Gour –Tamralipta -Saptagram etc, that land has no documented history in writing.

Human Capital Formation and Economic Development: A Case Study in Palakkad District of Kerala

SABITHA. R — 2019-11-26

For any country to achieve economic growth and prosperity human capital formation plays a crucial role. A country with a large quantity of natural resources is in a position to develop more quickly than a country which is scarce of such resources. However, the presence of large quantity of resources is not a sufficient enough condition to explain all aspects of economic growth. Economics are created and managed by people. The people must be skilled and energetic enough for performing the duties required to build an economy which is self-sufficient . Economic prosperity and economic decline depend on population. This is called human capital. Human capital formation extend competency in terms of knowledge, skills, efficiency, technology adoption, time management, labour mobility of workforce. The study on human capital for economic development is particularly important in a Indian economy with highest population of skilled and unskilled laborers.. Therefore this study is taken to fill the gap to some extent and to focus the importance of human Capital in economic development.

Revival of Buddhist Modernism at Vaiśālī

Ajit Kumar — 2019-11-28

The identity of Vaiśālī is changing through the constructions of Buddhist Shanti Stupas, temples and monasteries of Eastern and South- East Asian countries. These modern developments raise several questions about their history, local and international identity, reclaim and conflicts. I would like to discuss Vaiśālī in relation to their archaeological past and historical importance in the Buddhist world, and how they became important in the modern world. This paper proposes to examine the revival of Buddhist Modernism[1] through art & architectures of Buddhist temples and monasteries of Eastern and South- East Asian countries in Vaiśālī.[2]

[1] The German Buddhologist heinz Bechert coined the term ‘ Buddhist Modernism’ and defined it as follows: “Buddhist modernism is characterized by the emphasis laid on rationalist elements in Buddhist teachings, by the belief that the teachings of Buddhism and those of modern science are not only in conformity but identical, by the tacit elimination of the traditional cosmology, and by a reinterpretation of the objective of the Buddhist religion in terms of social reform and the building of a better world.” Bechert noted that Buddhist modernism is also characterized in part by the creation of lay religious organizations that did not previously exist. For him, the primary ethos animating this modern interpretation of Buddhism is the attempt to bridge the traditional gap between otherworldly and this-worldly practices and aims, transforming a religion of world-renunciation into one stressing societal reform and human development. (David L. McMahan, Buddhism in the Modern World. Routledge, 2012.)

[2] Vaiśālī has more than ten temples and monasteries built by Buddhist countries such as China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka.

Dr. Navdeep Singh Raji — 2019-11-26

“Career beliefs are conglomerate of attitudes, opinions, convictions that seem to cohere together to create mind-sets that underlie people’s orientation to the idea of a career” (Arulmani& Nag-Arulmani, 2004). “Socioeconomic status is an economic and sociological combined total measure of a person's work experience and of an individual's or family’s economic and social position relative to others, based on income and education, and occupation” (Okioga, 2103). The Career Preparation Process Model (Arulmani& Nag-Arulmani, 2004) suggested that process of career decision making occurs within a specific socio-cognitive environment and within this, career beliefs and socio-economic status interacts and influence the career choice of the individual. Keeping this in view the current study will investigate socio-economic status as a predictor of career beliefs among secondary school students. The study included 720 secondary school students (360 boys and 360 girls). Career beliefs was measured using Career Beliefs Pattern Scale Version 3 by Arulmani (2012) and for measuring socio-economic status of secondary school status, the Socio Economic Status Scale by Raji (2016) was employed. The result reveals that there is a significant but negative correlation between socio-economic status and career beliefs.

Dalits, who were essentially undetectable from socio-political field, are making their essence all over the place. They are giving their commitment to society.

Rajah, the Justice leaders like Pangal Raja and Self - Respect leaders like E.V.Ramasamy appealed to the masses to extend all co-operation to the Simon Commission. Owing to the support received from the quarters of the Dravidans, the Simon Commission easily garnered oral and written evidences in Tamilnadu for a new constitutional experiment to the whole nation. The Indian Central Committee, which was constituted to co-operate with Simon Commission, entered into a general agreement and wanted to test the principle of communal electorate to the depressed classes in the Madras Presidency for a period of ten years. The British Government convened the Indian Round Table Conferences. The Justice Party urged the British Government to convene it at the earliest possible. B.R. Ambedkar claimed that as the British Government has not done anything to remove untouchability it should consider the views of the public. Ramsay Mac Donald, the Prime Minister announced, on the discussion over the Simon Commission's recommendations the Communal Award on August 17th, 1932 which favoured separate electorate. According to the Government of Act of 1935 reserved a number of seats to various communities and interests. In 1940s, E. V.Ramasamy Naicker struggled for exclusive reservation for Backward Classes (BCs). The Congress Government issued a G.O. in 1947.

Impact Of Conversion Among The Parathavars Of The Pearl Fishery Coast: A General Survey Of Select Socio-Cultural Changes

Dr. Vinod Vincent Rajesh — 2019-12-31

The Parathavars adopted Christianity in the first half of the sixteenth century. Christianity being a religion that was reintroduced into India by the West European powers was in general though to have grossly changed the lifestyle of the converts. But in fact, the process of conversion helped the Parathavars to rediscover and realize the strength of the local self-government against which even powerful missionaries were not able to establish new systems. Gradually priests like Henri Henriquez remodeled their approach with the converts and understood the value and meaning of native institutions. Hence they organized the converts into sodalities patterned in line with the local self-government. The cultural core of the people that stood on the premise of kinship pattern and marriage relationship based on that did not undergo substantial change. In fact, the missionaries requested the ‘Holy See’ to make changes in the rules of the Church to accommodate local practices. The present article deals with issues related to these.

Madras Slums-A Study

Dr. I. Princes — 2019-12-15

Slums are neglected parts of cities where housing and living conditions are appallingly lacking. Slums range from high density, squalid central city tenements to spontaneous squatter settlements without legal recognition or rights, sprawling at the edge of cities. Slums do not have basic Municipal services like water, sanitation, waste collection, storm drainage, street lighting, paved foot paths or roads for emergency access. The National Slum policy aims to support the planned growth of urban areas in a manner that will help to upgrade all existing slums and informal settlements with due regard for the protection of the wider public interest. Chennai, one of the major metropolitan cities in India, facing the problems of mushrooming of slums and squatter settlements. Recognising the plight of the slum dwellers, the Government of Tamilnadu setup a separate organisation, namely Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board in 1970. In the resettlement areas, the private sector or non-governmental organisations should be involved for additional inputs.

Negotiating With Modernity: Mapping The Contributions Of Franciscan Missionaries Of Mary (FMM) To Tamil Society In Colonial South India

Dr. A. Arputha Selvi — 2019-12-18

Since the 16^th century, the constant entry of Christian missionaries, traders from various parts of Europe, to a great extent, altered the very basis of the social system in India. The highly complex, heterogeneous nature of Indian social system with an amalgam of customs and rituals along with the indispensable, omnipresent role of caste this had appeared heavily unfamiliar to Europeans. The pattern of colonial impact on the old order of the Indian society in the context of land relations was repeated and reaffirmed in other contexts too, such as the introduction of English education and the consequent expansion of and diversification of civil society into professions. The history of the progress of Christianity in India is an interesting study in itself. More fascinating is the history of the Christian missionaries’ activities towards the development of education and other welfare activities. The development of the Granciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM) in Tamil society was founded in 1876 in the Nilgiris. Initially schools, shelters, dispensaries and tailoring institutions for young girls were opened. Soon after FMM houses were established in Coimbatore, which had Tamil schools, orphanages, weaving centers, a crèche, home for the aged and home for the uncared mothers. Sisters of FMM are aware of the changing needs of today’s world. FMM has evolved a wholesome programme of social welfare activities. Programmes included rehabilitation measures and promoting humanness for the deprived and the marginalized.

Mrs. M. Usha — 2019-12-16

Education is the prime factor for women’s Development and Empowerment. Through education it is possible to improve women’s opportunities for participation in the various fields of life. For improving skills, the bare minimum is literacy. The relationship between educational attainments and awareness of hygiene, improvement in family health, child health, girl’s education and general family welfare is well established, formal education delays marriage, kindles a desire for a small family, increases the chances of survival of children and has thus a positive effect o fertility reduction. It increases a women’s earning capacity and the potential for empowerment. It is one of the most important tools of expanding social opportunity.

Impact Of Demonetization On The Economic Parameters That Affect The Growth Of Nonperforming Asset Of Indian Banks

Sanjoy Laha — 2019-12-18

The demonetization decision by the government of India affected almost all service sectors of Indian economy, out of which the banking sectors were affected the most. Due to demonetization bulk amount of old currency notes of INR 500 and INR 1000 were deposited to banks; that not only increased the capital base of banks, but those un-used cash boosted the liability of loan disbursement. Again the reducing interest rates, providing account opening facility and issuing loan to the depositors by banks without judging their repayment ability resulted a chance of increasing number of defaulters and the value of nonperforming assets. Considering the scenario the present research work tried to focus on the impact of demonetization towards the movement of nonperforming assets of Indian banks. A multivariate regression analysis was performed by considering income, expenditure and net profit ratio as internal and the percentage change of India’s GDP, inflation and foreign exchange rate as external independent variables towards the net nonperforming assets changes of Indian public and private sector banks as dependent variable from financial year 2016-17 to 2018-19. Though the outcome of the study revealed that demonetization helped to reduce the nonperforming asset values in short run but in long run it would stimulate the growth of nonperforming assets.

Status of woman at the time of Buddha- A study

Puja Kumari — 2020-01-17

The status of woman is always a discussion matter. In ancient time a few woman worship as Goddess and got the respected position like Aditi but the real status and condition of the woman is still a question mark in ancient time also In the ancient India, the condition of woman is not very good. They generally lived under the supervision of man. This is the direct evidence of men superiority over woman. Women were treated as sudras, one of lowest cast among all four cast. There freedom was also limited. Generally women were under the custody of parent during childhood, under the care of husband during their youth and under the control of their son during their old age. In other word they are always under the control of male.

State or Royal ownership of land in ancient India:A Historical Perspective

Rajeev Pratap — 2020-01-23

In the Rigveda, there is nothing to prove that the king was regarded as the owner of the land or the owner of the state. The Rigvedic hymns simply show that the kings received bal (generally translated as voluntary tribute) as guardian of the people and not as being the head of the state. In later period, we find the references that land was divided into four classes viz., pasture land, homestead land, the arable land and the forest.

An Enquiry on the reasons for the fatigue of Rubber Cultivation in Kerala

Dr. Stephen Mathew — 2019-12-26

The small rubber growers play a significant role in the total production of rubber in our country. These farmers are widely scattered in the Rubber producing areas of the country living in thousands of villages. The twin problems faced by these farmers are the low yield they are getting from their rubber plantations and very low market price they are getting from the sale of their produce. As the farmers do not have proper roots for selling their produce and as they do not have facilities for sharing proper agricultural practices self help groups called Rubber Producer’s Societies ( RPS) have been put in place.

Santhal Protest Movement of 1855: A Historical Analysis

UDAY SANKAR SARKAR — 2020-02-20

History of Santals is found from the assessments of various antiquarians. Fables mirror a few flavors about the root of Santals. Datta (1940) portrayed the Santal uprising of 1855-57. Sen (1984) composed 'The Santals of Jungle Mahals: an agrarian history, 1793 – 1861'. With the assistance of their thoughts, it very well may be realized that Santals needed to move various districts of India for their very own existence. The revolt of the Santhals began in India as a reaction to the abolition of the autocratic British revenue system, usury practices and the zamindari system; In the tribal belt known as the Bengal Presidency. It was a rebellion against the oppression of colonial rule propagated through a distorted revenue system, enforced by the local landlords, the police and the courts of the legal system established by the British. The Santhals lived and depended in forests. In 1832, the British demarcated the Damin-e-Koh region in present-day Jharkhand and invited the Santhals to settle in the region. Due to promises of land and economic facilities, a large number of Santhals settled in Cuttack, Dhalbhum, Manbhum, Hazaribagh, Midnapore etc. Soon, the British dominated the economy in the form of tax-collecting middlemen by nobles and zamindars. Many Santhals fell victim to corrupt lending practices. They were given money at exorbitant rates. When they were never repaid, their lands were forcibly stripped, forced into bonded labor. This provoked the Santhal Rebellion by Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu, two brothers who led the Santhals against the British, but were defeated. Fundamentally, no recorded history of sub-rank 'Garain' is found. Likewise, the existence of 'Garain' is found in the region identified with dwelling zone Santals. Taking all these wholes thought in to account, the inception of Santal might be depicted quickly as pursue.

Genesis Of Green Revolution And Its Impact

Dr. L.Ravisankar — 2019-12-19

The term Green Revolution has been used to mean two different things. The Green Revolution was introduced in the form of a package programme as it focused on irrigation, fertilizers, high yielding variety seeds and pesticides. The aim of Green Revolution is to promote both agriculture production and productivity. Modem scientific knowledge and technology were thus introduced to Indian agriculture through the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution among other factors has greatly increased the output of Indian agriculture. The Indian economy is primarily an agricultural economy. Agricultural sector formed the backbone of economy of the country as it covers nearly sixty percent of available land for agricultural activities. It provides employment for about 62 percent of working population of country. The very existence of economic activities of the entire people is bound with the state and health of this sector. Agriculture is the dominating sector of the state's economy and contributes in several ways to the state’s economic progress. Agriculture throughout the world has been revolutionized by the development of genetic science. Green Revolution refers to a major breakthrough in the application of genetic science to agricultural production during the 1960s, which first produced hybridized dwarf varieties of wheat and rice that were very responsive to high application of fertilizer and produced yields two to three times higher than the varieties they replaced. The high yielding varieties of wheat and rice introduced in the late 1960s certainly contributed to these gains. So did modem varieties of maize and other crops introduced before and after the Green Revolution. Indian agriculture started showing significant diversification with the spread of Green Revolution technology beginning late 1960s. The impact that Green Revolution technologies can have on farming and farmer's decision making is brought to life in the Green Revolution game, a sophisticated gaming simulation of the drama of rural development and technological change in agriculture based on original field work in India.

Invasions On South Travancore

Dr. S. Kalaiarasu — 2019-12-19

The South Travancore state was situated at the Southwestern extremity of India. The ancient history of South Travancore proves to be traditional. This ancient kingdom of South Travancore forms the Southern-most portion of the west coast of India. The inscriptions available for this period in South Travancore speak of the Pandyas who ruled this part. The earliest ruler who invaded South Travancore was Sendan. The main basis for this inference is that he assumed the title "Vanavan" which was a distinctive appellation of the Chera ruler. Arikesari Maravarman, popularly known as Koon Pandya next attacked South Travancore. By defeating Raja Simha, the Pandya ruler, Parantaka Chola (907-935 A.D.) was able to extend his conquest as far South as Travancore. He fortified Kottaru and demarcated the boundary of the southern Kingdom. The inscriptions found out in Suchindram and its neighbouring areas indicate that locality was under Chola authority. Raja Raja, (985-1014 A.D.) the great, started his aggressive policy towards the south during his fourth regnal year.

The counter-discursive young and their oscillation between culture inherited and culture acquired in Naipaul’s A House for Mr Biswas and Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines.

Dr Paramita Ghosh — 2020-06-18

S. Naipaul and Amitav Ghosh, two brilliant diasporic Indian writers belong to two extreme poles in regard to their views on the socio-cultural aspects and analysis of a nation/society through the postcolonial discourse. But, quite surprisingly, when it comes to the portrayals of the generations of characters in search of their home/nation, both these novelists offer a similar host of characters where the older generation represents an illusion of the stability of a culture/nationhood while the young appear to be counter-discursive and perpetually belonging to an oscillation between the culture they inherited and the culture that they adopted. Through a postcolonial survey of two representative novels by these two stalwarts, this article attempts to look into the elusive sense of belonging to a culture/community/nationhood that the characters across the generations, representatives of the modern and postmodern fragmented selves, face.

Socio- Cultural Implications of Folk Theatre: A Study of Saang of Haryana

Dr Smriti Bhardwaj — 2019-12-15

Folk theatre is community theatre and evolves with the way of common man’s life. There is not much of deliberation and conscious effort in it. It is spontaneous and is a part of the way of life of a community. It also gives expression to the achievements, satisfactions, pains, anxiety and concerns of the society. Inevitably, its popularity, sometimes even preservation becomes the apprehension of the society. Unsurprisingly, with changing dynamics of society, the folk theatre, alters in its content and form. But throughout the history, we find the communities in an endeavor to confine the spontaneous progression of expression withholding an idea of pure folk forms implying that it continues to be performed in same form, content and conventions without any effect of the societal changes on it.

Need for and Validity of Anti-Conversion law in India

Neeru Mittal — 2019-12-19

Religion is not a place or thing or any kind of material that can be changed in another form forcefully. Which religion a person is following does not matter because purpose is same, that is, salvation. When a person infringes into another person’s belief, faith and worship there arises a problem that is fight for the right of religion. To which there becomes a need of anti-conversion law which safeguards a person from conversion due to force, allurement, gratuity and other means. For instance State of Madhya Pradesh had come under the British force to convert their religion to Christians which is a breach of Article 25(1) of the Constitution of India which says “all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion”. Minorities in this area were influenced by the benefits and services given by Britishers to convert into Christian. Thereafter Madhya Pradesh State legislature passed a Madhya Pradesh Swantra Adhiniyam Act, 1968 which is valid by taking into consideration Article 25(2)(a). Thereafter Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh have also made anti conversion laws.
