  • Traditional Clothes of the Country(Joint
    Message froM PRESIDENT Dear Rotaractors, Warm Rotaract Greetings from Rotaract Club of Thane North (RID 3142- India) We are glad sharing an editorial space with you and find great pleasure introducing the Traditional attire of our country. As you know India is a diverse country and has 29 states and 7 union territories. Every state has their own diverse language and traditional attire. We even have diversity in religion maximum people following Hinduism and the rest being Islam, Christianity and Sikhism; leave aside the other tribes which have their own traditional attire. Living in such a diversified country it is difficult to write about the entire traditional clothing, but here I will just try giving you a glimpse of the same. For men, traditional clothes are the Achkan/Sherwani, Bandhgala, Lungi, Kurta, Angarkha, Jama and Dhoti or Pajama. Additionally, recently pants and shirts have been accepted as traditional Indian dress by the Government of India. In India, women's clothing varies widely and is closely associated with the local culture, religion and climate. Traditional Indian clothing for women in the north and east are saris worn with choli tops; a long skirt called a lehenga or pavada worn with choli and a dupatta scarf to create an ensemble called a gagra choli; or salwar kameez suits, while many south Indian women traditionally wear sari and children wear pattu langa. Saris made out of silk are considered the most elegant. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's fashion capitals. In many rural parts of India, traditional clothes is worn.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 3.019(IIJIF) Oh! Dear, how should I translate you…..? Bismita Manjari Biswal Research Scholar , Utkal University, Vani Vihar Bhubaneswar,Odisha Abstract This paper is based on my personal experience of translating a novel, Andha Diganta (Darkness before Dawn) of Surendra Mahanty, a central Sahitya Academy award winning writer, a versatile genius in Odisha and Odia literature. The aim of the paper is to show the problems and possibilities of translation from a regional language which was influenced by culture and tradition of people to English language. Key words: culture, „Heiti Sunucha‟, Pakhala, gamucha, Kadamba Translation is basically an unnatural act. The whole premise of translation seems problematic. However unnatural, it is a necessary transgression. Our complex globalization demands it. In a way, a translator shares Hamlet‟s dilemma. But luckily, it is not the world, but only its mirror, language; the translator has to put it right for his/her audience. Unnaturalness and necessity, loss and gain, destruction and harmony, integration and difference are all properties of translation. The most important literal issue that a translator of literal work has to struggle with is “culture”. Every word in a given language has a cultural history behind it. It gathers rich associative and connotative meanings with the passage of time. An Indian translator faces a peculiar problem when he or she translates from Bhasa literature to English. A regional text is imbued with the regional culture and some words which have cultural nuances of the regional language.

  • Casteing the Net: the Making of a Lagoon and The
    CASTEING THE NET: THE MAKING OF A LAGOON AND THE EMERGENCE OF CASTE AS SOCIAL NETWORK by EIAL DUJOVNY (Under the Direction of J. Peter Brosius) ABSTRACT Melding historical and social network approaches, this dissertation explores the formation of caste identities and social relations between fishers and non-fishers in the Chilika Lake basin. For over a quarter of a century, the lake has been at the epicenter of the “Blue Revolution” in India and is a major source of exported prawns. Unfortunately, the introduction of prawn aquaculture has resulted in rising tensions between the lake’s fisher and non-fisher communities as the latter have abandoned agriculture and longstanding caste prohibitions to enter the fishery. This research investigates how the imposition of capitalist property rights under the colonial system of land revenue administration resulted in a strict division between rights to land and water that polarized the communities and solidified caste identities. At the same time, it reveals the historical undercurrents that spurred the non-fisher communities to embrace aquaculture as a means of reengaging with the lake’s “wastelands” – territories that, prior to the mposition of the Salt Monopoly, supported the local communities in the agricultural slack season. Using Social Network Analysis to explore friendship networks, this study questions whether the increasing similarity between fishers and non-fishers has resulted in a breakdown in social taboos and increased interaction at the individual level. These findings suggest that although caste is socially and historically constructed on the one hand, and subject to political, economic and modernizing pressures on the other hand, it primarily functions as a social network that continues to structure people’s social relations and access to resources.
