The current issue focuses on some of the learnings from the conference. We thought, we fought and then we caught the face of something that we really wanted to look at. Coming up with the theme Role of Literature: Changing Attitudes towards Gender was both easy and difcult. Our ideas emerged and faded in various shades- we saw the eyes, felt the shadow, perceived the wagging tail, experienced footprints against silhouette- we saw our THOUGHT FOX. The body remained as it is but mind was agitated with thoughts, bruised with responses and uttered for peace. A sip of morning tea and the newspaper revealed lives, different and similar. It unfolded the stories of umpteen souls trapped in the violence called 'body'. Gender, to me, appeared lack of spiritual consciousness and anxiety of the physical self, to somebody else it was an existential phenomenon and to a few others it meant the world. Souls cry and laugh and respond through body…their needs, perception and performance all different. Travelling deeper only revealed that positivity was the result of deeper understanding of human nature and negative responses to the variety in gender a consequence of attitude and lack of proper thought. Mind thus plays an important role. So, there we were as our response to the fast changing society, a theme that could bring in literature and changing attitudes towards 'human beings'. Somewhere among men, women and others, we need to look for humans. Gender is as old as humanity and so is Literature. For various reasons, we lost what we had but for various reasons we are born as what we are. Whatever we are, we have to live life in its fullest form. It is not the rise of feminism that establishes the fall of masculinity or vice-versa; it is the attitude of the genders towards each other. The position of exclusion or inclusion has been depicted in various literary texts, however, it does not dene the existence of what exists. Having said this, literature has the capacity to absorb the nuances of consciousness. Wonder what would have been our reaction towards Hamlet had he been a woman; Tess a man, Heathcliff a woman, Padmini (of Hayavadana) a man? !! Mind does not have gender and gender somewhere seems to fail in understanding mind. But then, is there a man somewhere in every woman and is there a woman hidden in every man? Where mind is trained to behave stereotypically and lose its originality, body reciprocates in a different way and so does the society. At times when mind speaks what is original, conict at all levels becomes inevitable. Mind is already trained, Attitudes have already been formed- what if someone wants to be the original self and shed the mask? Schedule VII of The Companies Bill passed by both the houses of parliament recently listed a few activities which may be included by companies in their Corporate Social Responsibility Policies. One of the activities is promoting Gender Equality and Empowering Women. Our conference aimed at touching upon all the relevant aspects of gender through Literature, that shape minds, lives and societies. And when we meant Gender, we did not mean only men and women. Shikhandi played a very important role in The Mahabharata, Arjuna disguised as Bruhannalla became a dance teacher…so, references from history and literature do acknowledge and acknowledge very strongly the presence of different personalities. It also raised questions on our concepts of modernity. The National Conference thus witnessed some major outcomes in problematic areas of gender, biases, equality and responses, also establishing future directions for research in different sections of the theme. We are extremely happy to receive responses from various parts of the country. The papers are as diverse in content as the various sub themes. The current issue includes the rst set of papers chosen to be published. The next set will be published in one of the upcoming issues of AJR. I thank the management of AIMS from the bottom of my heart for extending uninching support for conducting this conference. It gives me immense pleasure to see the idea come to fruition in the form of these proceedings in two parts in AJR. Trust you will enjoy the ideas presented in this issue. Truly, Editor 3 AJR, Vol. 8, Issue 2, September 2013 ISSN: 2321-8487 Gender in Relation to Race and Class in Toni Morrison's Sula Dr. Megha Singh¹ “Man can think of himself without woman. She cannot think of herself without man....She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is the incidental.....He is the subject, he is the Absolute ---she is the 'other'. Simon de Beauvoir, The Second Sex It is argued over and over again that men and women are born equal but the social reality is not the same. The status of women has always been marginalised. They suffered from embarrassment and wanted to defend themselves but were not empowered to do so. Though the condition of women is almost the same in the world over but when we speak of African-American women in white America, the condition is pathetic. To be black and female is to suffer from twin disadvantages of racial discrimination and pronounced gender bias. They were the victims of sexual atrocities at the hands of the white patriarchs as well as the blacks. In short, the black women in America were made victims of triple jeopardy—racism, sexism and classism. Toni Morrison, an African-American women has deeply explored this world of racism, gendered, class and national specificity. The present paper deals with the study of Morrison's novel “Sula” where primary focus is on gender, specially the individualism of the American women. The concept of gender and its relation to race and class is very much the part of the novel. The concerns of class, whether of the capitalists or the masses, rank third after gender and race.

  • Refugee Women in Calcutta (1947-1958) – a Journey in Search for New Identity
    Journal(of(Internal(Displacement(Volume(4(Number(1(©(JID(January(2014;(all(rights(reserved REFUGEE WOMEN IN CALCUTTA (1947-1958) – A JOURNEY IN SEARCH FOR NEW IDENTITY 1 Nandini Ganguli Abstract This paper deals specifically with the issues of the Bengali refugee women within the contours of their families and outside the families in Post-Partition Calcutta and its surrounding areas. Apart from various gender specific violence in Pre-Partition times, the changed and altered conditions in Calcutta and the adjoining areas had various repercussions for these women. To understand their position better an attempt has been made to compare the position of refugee and non – refugee women in Calcutta. Also the contemporary attitudes of the general members of the society have been dealt with for a clearer picture of the complexities of the period and different negotiations of these women and the impact of this on their lives and society. A general allegation regarding the Partition in Bengal remains the silence of the literary forms. To counter this argument this paper also includes some novels and films of contemporary or near contemporary period to understand the human dimensions of the Partition and refugee women in Bengal. Keywords: Bengal refugee women, identity, partition Calcutta, gender violence The Journal of Internal Displacement (JID), established July 2009, is the only scholarly journal committed to all displacement concerns worldwide. Thanks to the generous voluntary contribution from the advisory board and editorial team - manuscript submission, peer-review and publication of the JID is FREE OF CHARGE.

[email protected] Abstract - On 1947, Our country has divided on the basis of Jinnah’s ‘Two-nation theory’- Hindu majority India and Muslim majority Pakisthan. The line that Sir Cyril Radcliffe drew to separate East Pakisthan from India was a deeply dispute one. This is perhaps the pinnacle of disaster in the Indian Sub-continent against the triumph of Independence. Certain incidents carry their aftermath in their own right. A collection of Bengali short stories which reflect the sentiments of the time have been discussed with an attempt to underline the personal and social struggle inflicted on a generation. Keywords - Partition, sub-continent, border, uprooted, refugee, migration. I. INTRODUCTION creative process; thus giving rise to a new kind of literature: the writings and expressions of separation and Whatever may be the reasons or motivations and homelessness. Annada Shankar Ray, in an immensely justifications for accepting the partition of the country by quotable Bengali rhyme voiced his protest against the the national leaders, for millions of people the absurdity of country’s bifurcation: Independence of the country brought terrible suffering and humiliation, fear of loss of human dignity and a morbid You scold the little lass sense of isolation of being uprooted. ‘Although the proposal When she drops the glass for Pakistan was placed before the country in the 1930s and But what about you, pressure for the bifurcation of India mounted up in the adult brats 1940s, the very reality of the division of the country in 1947 came as a rude shock.’1 What we must notice is that there When you shatter India have been partitions on either side of the Indian border – into little parts.

While the University strives for academic excellence, it remains alive to its social obligations to make India a better place to live in, recalling what Aurobindo Ghosh, one of the founding fathers of the National Council of Education Bengal, which was the precursor of our University, had envisioned our institution to be : “The nucleus of a nation of the new India which is to begin its career after this might and sorrow and trouble, on that day of glory and greatness when India will work for the world.” On my own behalf & on behalf of the University, I sincerely thank the University Press for publishing the Annual Report within the stipulated time.

Sutanuka Ghosh 3 Abstract History seldom tells the story of ordinary men far less ordinary women. This thesis explores the tales of ordinary middle class Hindu Bengali women and their different experiences of the period 1930-1955 through fiction written by women. To undermine the logic of colonialism the Indian nationalist movement had sought to project an image of a modern, progressive, egalitarian society while also holding on to its distinctive cultural identity. The fulfilment of these twin objectives hinged on Indian women. Consequently Bengali women found themselves negotiating different objectives that required them to be ‘modern’ as well as patient, self-sacrificing, pure and faithful like Sita.
