These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.

  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.

  • Why India Doesn't Make Enough 3D Films
    Publication: Mint Date: 08/07/2017 Why India doesn’t make enough 3D films Rajinikanth’s ‘2.0’ and director Vikram Bhatt’s 2015 vigilante thriller ‘Mr. X’ are among few films in India that have actually been shot in 3D 3D viewing is increasing day by day in India. Photo: Reuters New Delhi: In the run-up to the January release of its science fiction film 2.0, starring Rajinikanth, Lyca Productions organized a “meet-and-greet” with exhibitors across Tamil Nadu earlier this week to make sure more screens become 3D enabled by the time the film arrives in theatres to maximize its box office prospects. 2.0, a sequel to Rajinikanth’s 2010 hit Enthiran that has been made at a budget of Rs400 crore, has been directed by S. Shankar and also features Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. Perhaps one reason the film is so particular about getting the right showcasing is that it has actually been shot in 3D. Most Indian films, however, convert to 3D from 2D during post-production to save costs which is one major reason, say industry experts, for 3D not really having caught on in the country. Online Link - http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/RP43NNUCL7ifbcUEkWxCuJ/Why- India-doesnt-make-enough-3D-films.html Publication: Mint Date: 08/07/2017 “Even in the early phase of the 3D movie spurt, one of the difficulties in India was that people tried to ride the wave by taking a shortcut and converting films shot in 2D into 3D,” said Rajesh Mishra, chief executive officer of Indian Operations, at cinema distribution network UFO Moviez.

Woman Becomes Goddess in Bollywood: Justice, Violence, and the Feminine in Popular Hindi Film Abstract What happens “when a woman becomes Chandika?” This essay contributes to an on-going discussion of the theme of “avenging women” in popular Indian cinema, with particular focus on the transformation of a woman into a fierce Goddess who avenges oppression and re-establishes justice. Analysis of the story line and selected song sequences from the Hindi language film Anjaam (“Outcome,” 1994) in light of themes from the Hindu Sanskrit text, the Devi-Mahatmya (“Greatness of the Goddess,” 5thc. C.E.) shows how traditional religious images and values are adapted and transformed in a modern context. Keywords Goddess, Bollywood, Indian cinema, Devi-Mahatmya, Hinduism, Madhuri Dixit, Shahrukh Khan Author Notes Kathleen M.

INTRODUCTION Destiny of a nation is shaped in its classrooms and teacher is the architect who shapes the destiny. Enlightened, emancipated and empowered teachers lead communities and nations towards better and higher quality of life. Teachers are expected to create soul cohesion, national integration and learning society. They disseminate knowledge and generate new knowledge. It is therefore, essential for nation to have a sound and effective programme of teacher preparation. The teacher education programme needs to be upgraded and updated periodically. A perusal of the reports of various commissions and committees indicate the preference for longer duration of B.Sc.B.Ed.course. It was also endorsed by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India in its judgement on 15 June 1993. “The Teachers Training Institutes are meant to teach children of impressionable age and we cannot let loose on the innocent and unwary children the teachers who have not received proper and adequate training. True, they will be required to pass the examination but that may not be enough.
