Adept in Cinematography, writing lyrics, novels and scripts for Dramas, she also has a natural flair for creativity and social service. Though she faced innumerable odds and misfortunes in her personal life, she never felt bogged down, but rather played all her roles valiantly and extremely well---- as a mother, a cancer survivor, an educationist, a creative artist and above all, as a great fighter. It is explicitly because of her sheer sense of creativity that she has successfully created various books, novels, musical albums and two regional short films that won her worldwide critical acclaim. She even dabbled into the political world to achieve her noble aims and purposes. It is really hard to study the complex political situation, especially, the one prevailing in India. Harder still, it is to delve into its infinite Contemporary Literary Review India | pISSN 2250-3366 / eISSN 2394- 6075 | Vol. 7, No. 2: CLRI May 2020 | Page 194 Dr Dilip Khetarpal Reviews Phidalia Toi’s The Dusk and weird aspects and bring out the truth from them honestly and fearlessly and put them before the whole nation to ponder, introspect and thereafter bring about drastic changes.

This community has many luminaries, the “firsts” in diverse professions, and it is not possible to elaborate on their achievements. We list a few instantly recognisable luminaries, who by their contributions have left an indelible stamp of excellence on their chosen professions. By Perin Ilavia The grand old man of India, Dadabhai Naoroji, born in 1783, was a great political thinker and ranks among the greatest Indian patriots.

  • Changing Forms and Platforms of Misogyny: Sexual Harassment of Women Journalists on Twitter
    © Media Watch 9 (3) 437-446, 2018 ISSN 0976-0911 | e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2018/v9i3/49480 Changing Forms and Platforms of Misogyny: Sexual Harassment of Women Journalists on Twitter RICHARD REGO St Joseph's College (Autonomous), India Across time, in a variety of forms and spaces -from homes and workplaces to digital domains of social media- women have become victims of male dominance. So also are the other vulnerable sections that suffer multi-layered abuse, and endure sexual harassment in social media. Yet, this phenomenon is insufficiently explored. Therefore, this article argues that social media spaces have become domains for sexual harassment and subjugation of women. This article examines gender-trolling on Twitter as a form of sexual violence against women. Employing qualitative analyses of the Twitter conversations on Indian journalists, namely Barkha Dutt, Sagarika Ghose, and Rana Ayyub, it exposes the nature and form of sexual violence against women on the micro-blogging space, and argues that social media platforms constitute convenient havens of harassment against assertive women Keywords: Twitter, social media, women journalists, sexual harassment, misogyny In last two decades, the Internet has evolved as a platform for people to express themselves freely. Since the advent of Web 2.0, the Internet has given birth to many a social media platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and blogs. These social media networks help create, curate, and explore content, generating discourses in the public domain. The Internet has not only opened avenues for inter-user communication but also given rise to deviant behaviour in equal measure.
