(e) Published/accepted minimum of one research paper in a referred research journal, I recommend the submission of thesis. Date : Dr. Pratima Sharma Principal (Retd.) Department of College Education (Raj.) ABSTRACT Postmodernism, within the historical context, denotes a period post 1980s, which represents an era following modernism. Whether it is a heralder of modernism, it refutes or obscures or surpasses modernism has been a question of analysis since long. But by and large, a consensus has been reached that modernism itself is inevitably postmodern, in its ever transitional contemporaneity and its relevance to the immediate present. Postmodernism, philosophically, describes the renaissance of skeptical thinking and a constant questioning of the already existing values and ideologies. The movement symbolises an epistemological critique which shatters the prevalent unquestionable belief in morality and rationality.

  • 2019–20 Commencement Program
    Commencement UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER MAY 16, 2020 One Hundred Forty-Fourth Year of the University NORLIN CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES The frst commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the frst summer commencement was held. Since the frst commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded more than 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was frst read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.

Imagining Bharat: Romance, Heroism, And Hindu Nationalism In The Bengali Novel, 1880-1920 Abstract Although the Republic of India was founded as a secular democracy, the country has long been plagued by sectarian violence between its Hindu majority and Muslim minority. Scholars have examined how the 1940s Indian nationalist movement and the 1947 Partition of the subcontinent laid the foundation for communal tensions, but the long-standing conception of India as a fundamentally Hindu nation has received less attention.
