Resistance is bi-dimensional, carried out both through reading and writing of texts and may be applied to a gamut of discourses such as: colonial discourse, imperial culture, gender issues, caste and class differences, imbalances due to cultural clashes and so on. Resistance has existed as long as human history and culture that it attempts to counter and will continue to exist as long as civilisation does. Narratives of resistance are the voice of the oppressed that holds a mirror to existing systems and thereby helps us introspect and evolve as a society. It is thus forever relevant and worth looking into. Through the conference, the organisers hoped to break the stereotypical notions of the prevailing order and sensitise people, ultimately bringing about a change for the better in society. This was achieved successfully as can be seen in the varied perspectives of resistance expressed in the papers. 2 International Journal of Research in Social Sciences http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] ISSN: 2249-2496Impact Factor: 7.081 ABOUT THE ORGANISERS Seshadripuram Educational Trust (SET) Seshadripuram Educational Trust, the pioneering educational trust of Karnataka, was founded in 1930.

PREFACE This subject was chosen with a view to recording the work done by women in various phases of the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947. In the course of my study I found that women of India, when given an opportunity, did not lag behind in any field, whether political, administrative or educational. The book covers a period of ninety years. It begins with 1857 when the first attempt for freedom was made, and ends with 1947 when India attained independence. While selecting this topic I could not foresee the difficulties which subsequently had to be encountered in the way of collecting material.

  • 403 Little Magazines in India and Emergence of Dalit
    Volume: II, Issue: III ISSN: 2581-5628 An International Peer-Reviewed Open GAP INTERDISCIPLINARITIES - Access Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies LITTLE MAGAZINES IN INDIA AND EMERGENCE OF DALIT LITERATURE Dr. Preeti Oza St. Andrew‘s College Mumbai University [email protected] INTRODUCTION As encyclopaedia Britannica defines: ―Little Magazine is any of various small, usually avant-garde periodicals devoted to serious literary writings.‖ The name signifies most of all a usually non-commercial manner of editing, managing, and financing. They were published from 1880 through much of the 20th century and flourished in the U.S. and England, though French and German writers also benefited from them. HISTORY Literary magazines or ‗small magazines‘ are traced back in the UK since the 1800s. Americas had North American Review (founded in 1803) and the Yale Review(1819). In the 20th century: Poetry Magazine, published in Chicago from 1912, has grown to be one of the world‘s most well-regarded journals. The number of small magazines rapidly increased when the th independent Printing Press originated in the mid 20 century. Small magazines also encouraged substantial literary influence. It provided a very good space for the marginalised, the new and the uncommon. And that finally became the agenda of all small magazines, no matter where in the world they are published: To promote literature — in a broad, all- encompassing sense of the word — through poetry, short fiction, essays, book reviews, literary criticism and biographical profiles and interviews of authors. Little magazines heralded a change in literary sensibility and in the politics of literary taste. They also promoted alternative perspectives to politics, culture, and society.

  • Biodiversity of Butterflies in Endosulfan-Affected Areas of Kerala, India
    Raghavendra et al. The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology (2020) 81:58 The Journal of Basic https://doi.org/10.1186/s41936-020-00192-w and Applied Zoology RESEARCH Open Access Biodiversity of butterflies in endosulfan- affected areas of Kerala, India K. N. Raghavendra, Kumar Arvind, G. K. Anushree and Tony Grace* Abstract Background: Butterflies are considered as bio-indicators of a healthy and diversified ecosystem. Endosulfan was sprayed indiscriminately in large plantations of Kasaragod district, Kerala which had caused serious threats to the ecosystem. In this study, we surveyed the butterflies for their abundance and diversity in three differentially endosulfan-affected areas viz., Enmakaje—highly affected area, Periye—moderately affected area, Padanakkad— unaffected area, carried out between the end of the monsoon season and the start of the winter season, lasting approximately 100 days. Seven variables viz., butterfly abundance (N), species richness (S), Simpson’s reciprocal index (D), the Shannon–Wiener index (H′), the exponential of the Shannon–Wiener index (expH′), Pielou’s evenness (J) and species evenness (D/S), related to species diversity were estimated, followed by the one-way ANOVA (F = 25.01, p < 0.001) and the Kruskal-Wallis test (H = 22.59, p < 0.001). Results: A population of three different butterfly assemblages comprised of 2300 butterflies which represented 61 species were encountered. Our results showed that Enmakaje displayed significantly lower butterfly diversity and abundance, compared to the other two communities. Conclusion: So far, this is the first study concerning the effect of endosulfan on the biodiversity of butterfly in the affected areas of Kasaragod, Kerala, India.

  • A Postcolonial Reading of O.V. Vijayan's Khasakinteithihasam (The Legends of Khasak)
    Literary Endeavour (ISSN 0976-299X) : Vol. X : Issue: 1 (January, 2019) www.literaryendeavour.org 375 70 A POSTCOLONIAL READING OF O.V. VIJAYAN'S KHASAKINTEITHIHASAM (THE LEGENDS OF KHASAK) Akhil V P, Ph.D Scholar, R&D Centre, Bharathiar University Dr. Geetha Senthilkumar, Associate Professor & Chairperson, Department of English, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Abstarct: Literature of an era reflects the cultural contours of a nation and moreover it responds to the very pulse of the respective time period. This process can be understood as cultural representation in literature. Interpretation and depiction of cultural aspects in literature is undoubtedly a part of this principle.The post-independenceMalayalam literature witnessed a remarkable shift to modernism with the contribution of writers like M.T Vasudevan Nair, O.V Vijayan, Kakkanadan, M. Mukundan, Anand, VaikomMuhammedBasheer, Sethu and PunathilKunhabdullah among many other eminent authors. The researcherhas selected the magnum opus fiction KhasakinteIthihasam (self-translated as The Legends of Khasak) written by O.V Vijayan to analyze the aspect of cultural representation in the post-independence Malayalam literature. Key Words: Colonialism, Post-colonial literature, Cultural representation, Modernism. Post-independence Malayalam literature became more realistic with the advent of modernism. But since Kerala culture is built through the legends of 'vadakkanpattukal' (ballads of the north), 'thekkanpattukal' (ballads of the south), 'pulluvarpattukal' (traditional songs of pulluvar community), 'Mappilapattukal' (traditional songs by the Islamic community) and such other 'pattu' school of poetry and the vast array of myths and legends that form the crux of Dravidian and Aryan ancestry, there could never be a total deviation. Colonialism left its deep imprint upon almost all wakes of Kerala history and literature was no exception.
