Rajalakshmi, Editor: Reading the Nation – The Global Perspective Greetings from Rev. Sr. Dr. Kulandai Therese. A Principal St. Joseph’s College for Women, Tirupur 641 604, Tamilnadu, India I congratulate and appreciate the faculty, staff and students of English Department, St. Joseph’s College for Women, Kangeyam Road, Tirupur for organizing a two-day International Conference Reading the Nation – The Global Perspective on August 3rd and 4th, 2018. This book is a compilation of select papers presented in the conference. The basic purpose of any conference is to bring out the findings of the researchers in the form of papers on a theme to provide a platform for further discussions and to extend the knowledge among the participants. In keeping with our mission to nurture intellectual curiosity and to develop a holistic personality, our college is devoted to equip the students and staff with knowledge and attitude that continuously improve and help them to face the challenges. I am sure the participants of the International Conference have gained extensive knowledge. On behalf of the college, I wish the organizing committee and participants Best wishes and God’s Blessings. i Editor’s Note Department of English, St. Joseph’s College for Women, Tirupur conducted a two-day International Conference focusing on the theme Reading the Nation – The Global Perspective on August 3rd and 4th, 2018. This special issue of the International journal Language in India www.languageinindia.com includes select papers presented by faculty members, research scholars and students from various colleges and universities. Education without innovative research and development is meaningless for the community. We are intertwined globally, and contribution to global knowledge is the call of the day. The papers presented in the conference focused on a variety of topics including Caste and Nation in Indian Society, Expatriate Immigrants quandary, Men and Women relationship, Nationalism and Post-colonial Literature, Racism, Parent-adolescent Interconnection in Modern India, and so on. Thus, the papers presented the confluence of divergent ideas on the construction of nation. We believe that such discussion carried on by the Faculty, Research Scholars and Students would help us in the process of nation building. In addition, this would also help the researchers to fine tune their research skills and expand their intellectual horizons. The Department of English in St. Joseph’s College for Women, Tirupur is focused on regional, national and international literatures communicated through the medium of English language. We are committed to the effective teaching and learning of English
