  • A Comparative Study of O. Henry and Pannalal Patel's Selected Love Stories
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF O. HENRY AND PANNALAL PATEL’S SELECTED LOVE STORIES Dr. Shaurya Brahmbhatt Ms. Jayana Jayendrabhai Gajjar Abstract: ‘Love’ has always been a topic of interest for people around the world. Poets, novelists, painters, dancers have multiple works dedicated to ‘love’ and it seems they can’t get enough of it. Friendship, anger, cares, jealousies are emotions attached to love and have been dealt with by authors of the world. The ancient and the modern, the teens and the adults, males and female are in awe of ‘love’. This makes it a very interesting subject for study. William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry has written almost 300 short stories on various themes. He never failed to surprise the readers with a twist at the end of his stories. Pannalal Patel is a celebrated Gujarati author who, like Henry, has almost 20 short story collection under his name. He too has dealt with various themes including love, crime, sacrifice and more. The current paper focuses on comparing the love stories by these authors. The selected stories are The Gift of Magi and Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry and Sukh Dukh na Sathi and Nirupay by Pannalal Patel. As both, the writers belonged to two entirely different places and were active during a different time, the comparison of their stories will help to learn the idea of ‘love’ as the authors see it and the treatment of ‘love’ in their stories. Key Words: jealousy, ancient, celebrated, entirely, treatment “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” Says professor Dumbledore reminding Harry of the importance of love in one’s life.

  • Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel
    248 Chapter: 5 Region in the Novels of R. K. Narayan and Pannalal Patel: A Comparative Analysis The fifth chapter incorporating the title of thesis offers the comparative analysis of resemblances and differences in Narayan and Pannalal’s literary career. To study these novelists in comparative approach, the factors like their birth and family, sources of inspiration, educational career, domestic life and economic struggle, evaluation as a writer, publisher, sense of regionalism, and thematic study of their works along with critical reception and Gandhian perspectives are examined. Comparing biographical details and their location, we observe that Pannalal Patel was born on 7th of May, 1912 and died in 1989 on 6th of April while R.K. Narayan was born on 10th of October, 1906 and died in 2001 on 14th of May. Narayan’s life span in comparison to Pannalal is almost two decades longer. Both were the product of the first half of the twentieth century. The first two decades of the twentieth century gave India its luminous stars and enriched its literary world. This period in Indian literature has been assigned the title like Pre- independence period or Colonial phase. Pannalal Patel belonged to Anjana Patel caste known as Chaudhari community. The majority of this community resides in Mahesana, Sabarkantha, Patan and Banaskantha district of North Gujarat state. The Chaudhari community has also been spread in some other states like Rajasthan and Haryana in India. Now-a-days this community is prescribed in the list of SEBC (Socially and Economically Backward Class) category in a state like Gujarat.

  • Curriculum Vitae
    Curriculum Vitae Name : Dr. Raghuvir Chaudhari Date of Birth : 1938 Address (Residential): A-6, Purneshwar Flats, Gulbai Tekra, Ahmedabad-380 015 Tel. No. : 9327726371 Website : http://iet.ahduni.edu.in/people-details/faculty- list/sanjay_chaudhary He did his M.A. in ‘Hindi language and literature’ from Gujarat University in 1962 and later obtained his Ph.D. from the same University in 1979. He retired on 15th June, 1998, as a Professor and Head of the Department of Hindi, Post-graduate School of Languages, Gujarat University. Eight students have obtained PhD degree under his guidance. Raghuveer Chaudhari had worked for adult-education in his village and also constructed a small library and a theatre for his school. During vacations, he used to work with social workers. He was very active in 'Navanirrnan Andolan' - an anti-corruption movement - against the State Government of Gujarat. With the same concern he had opposed ‘The Emergency’ which suppressed the freedom of expression in 1975. He was born and brought up in a religious family of farmers. His acquaintance with leading and devoted Gandhian friends as well as his farming background nourished the deep sense of social responsibility in him. This is the reason why his concept of modernism is different from those of his contemporaries. Raghuveer's talent was nurtured by the prose writings of Govardhanram Tripathi, Kaka Kalelkar, Suresh Joshi, Niranjan Bhagat and Priyakant Maniyar. He owes his early training to his teacher and friend Bholabhai Patel, a well-known scholar and man-of- letters in Gujarati. Later Raghuveer developed an interest in Hindi and Sanskrit studies.

  • Volunteering in India
    VOLUNTEERING IN INDIA Contexts, Perspectives and Discourses 1 Foreword Volunteerism has long been an integral part of the Indian society shaped by traditions and value systems rooted in the religion and cultural interactions. The volunteers from diverse backgrounds have gone about celebrating the spirit of volunteerism in the best manner they know – rendering selfless service to their fellow beings and the community at large. The observance of International Year of Volunteers (IYV) in 2001 underscores the importance of people-to-people relations as core values of volunteerism. The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly to mark the Tenth Anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers (IYV+10) in 2011 rekindled the spirit of volunteerism and provided the opportunity to reflect on the status and growth of volunteerism worldwide. The role of volunteers in creation and development of social capital, civic engagement and social cohesion is now well documented. Against the backdrop of challenges, exciting new avenues for people to volunteer have opened up. It is also significant to note the role of technological revolution and its contribution to new forms of volunteering like micro-volunteering and online volunteering. These are going to be the key in future forms of volunteering discourses. It is notable that eighty-seven per cent of people aged 15 to 24 live in developing countries. They can play an important role to achieve the Millennium Development Goals adopting various ways to engage. Tenth International year of volunteers (IYV+10) offered the opportunity to the youth world over to further the volunteering agenda through their creativity, energy and commitment.
