Even in a somewhat remote region like ours, the scope for studies is expanding, leading to the quest for new dimensions of knowledge. The uniqueness of our ethnic and cultural antecedents guarantee that there is enough space for anyone interested in a scholastic ramble. That being said, the actual task of producing works worthy of publication require a certain resoluteness because this is a serious business that cannot be accomplished with cursory ease. It is befitting for a Journal that has its base in the melting pot of Dimapur to cater to a diverse outlook through its inter-disciplinary nature. The Dimapur Government College Journal provides a common platform for scholars to record findings from their respective areas of expertise. For this fifth issue, the response from academics has been more than satisfactory. After the papers received were reviewed by the editorial team, they were forwarded to the expert team of referees. Only papers that have received positive reviews from our referees have been included for publication, in keeping with the quality initiatives of the institution. The eleven papers in this issue of the Journal include a wide spectrum of work based on theoretical, quantitative, qualitative, empirical, ontological and analytic studies. Pertinent topics like environmental awareness among local youth; women’s status amidst patriarchal Naga Sumi society and within the limited space of politics; the Indian agriculture system that largely depends on the capricious Indian monsoon season; (un)employabality of educated youth and the need for skill-based learning; rental housing viability in the increasingly urbanising centre of Dimapur; and the dilemmas and crises of postmodern ‘reality’ have been covered. Also included is a historical record of the Battle of Satakha bearing first-hand insider perspectives; a paper on philosophy that dwells on nishkama karma as an ethical standard for human conduct; a study vi on pieces of the history of Pakistan presented through the inimitable literary craftsmanship of Salman Rushdie; and, a paper based on Malayali cinema which raises difficult questions about truth, laws and morality. Imbued with this heterogeneous blend of scholastic trends, the DGC Journal appeals to a wider readership and opens its doors to new contributions from the academic community. Our heartfelt gratitude is due to the panel of external reviewers, Prof. Nigamananda Das, Prof. B. Kilangla Jamir, Prof. Buno Liegise, Dr. R. K. Behera, Dr. Moamenla Amer, Dr. Venusa Tinyi and Dr. Lichumo Enie for their timely review of the papers. A special note of gratitude is due to the Principal and the Internal Quality Assessment Cell (IQAC), DGC, for playing pivotal roles in supporting every endeavour of the Editorial Board (Research Committee). Last, but not the least, we thank all the contributors without whom the DGC Journal would not be a reality. May the academic endeavours of the DGC family remain fruitful! Editorial Board vii Government of Nagaland Office of the Principal Dimapur Government College Dimapur - 797112: Nagaland Foreword esearch, it is said, is the scientific and systematic searching Rout of knowledge. It may not necessarily be original or unique knowledge. In fact, more often, it contradicts, questions or affirms an already existing body of work. Sometimes it brings into the searchlight of academic scrutiny hitherto unknown or ignored aspects of that knowledge, thus altering forever the way certain things were perceived. At the very least, it throws up a host of questions that further require more queries. Thus, we call it re-search. It is rare, however, to be able to produce a work that is original or unique; the reason being, not the lack of talent, but the lack of any field of study that does not already enjoy a sizeable quantity of established work. In this context, we, in the North East of India, are fortunate, in that much of our socio-political, economic, cultural and historical uniqueness is only now being academically explored in a systematic manner. Another aspect, to my mind, is that the era of “outsiders”, no matter how benevolent, writing about this region, is at an end. The people of this region have firmly taken up the challenge and the opportunities for serious searchers of knowledge are endless. It is a matter of pride that the fifth issue of the DGC Journal has contributors who are all academics working and teaching in Nagaland, many of them being members of the faculty of Dimapur Government College. They have thrown up a plethora of papers that should prove to be both interesting and inspiring. They have focused on both issues unique to the region as well as issues currently relevant in academia. I urge them to continue in their endeavours without ceasing, as the search for knowledge should end only when life ends. I also encourage those who read this journal to be viii future contributors, thus adding your bit to the universe of human knowledge. Finally, I congratulate the editorial team on the hard work that has certainly gone into the publication of this issue. I am confident that their efforts will be rewarded as the DGC Journal continues to climb greater heights with each issue.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: March 23, 2016 Chalena Cadenas 310.360.1981 [email protected] Mauli Singh [email protected] Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Drishyam | Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in Udaipur, India April 4­8 Lab Recognizes and Supports Six Emerging Independent Filmmakers from India Los Angeles, CA — Sundance Institute and Drishyam Films today announced the artists and creative advisors ​ selected for the second Drishyam | Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in Udaipur, India April 4­8. The Lab ​ ​ supports emerging filmmakers in India, as part of the Institute’s sustained commitment to international artists, which in the last 25 years has included programs in Brazil, Mexico, Jordan, Turkey, Japan, Cuba, Israel and Central Europe. Now in its second year, the four­day Lab is a creative and strategic partnership between Drishyam Films and Sundance Institute, and gives independent screenwriters the opportunity to work intensively on their feature film scripts in an environment that encourages innovation and creative risk­taking. The Lab is centered around one­on­one story sessions with creative advisors. Screenwriting fellows engage in an artistically rigorous process that offers lessons in craft, a fresh perspective on their work and a platform to fully realize their material. Leading the Lab in India is Drishyam founder, Manish Mundra. He said, “A beautiful heritage city in my hometown ​ ​ of Rajasthan, Udaipur forms an ideal writers retreat, and is the perfect environment for a diverse group of emerging writers and renowned mentors to have a refreshing and productive exchange. Our goal is that the six selected Indian projects, after undergoing a comprehensive mentoring process, will quickly move from script to screen and make their mark globally.

  • Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14
    Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14 Shloka # 14. 9: 14.9 O scion of the Bharata dynasty, sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action, while tamas, covering up knowledge, leads to inadvertence als Continuing his teachings Swamiji said today, in the last few classes, we saw that our higher nature known as the sakshi svarupam is ever nirgunam and therefore is free from the influence of the three gunas; but our vyavaharika nature, our lower nature, which is called ahamkara is a mixture of the body-mind complex, as well as the reflected consciousness. And till the ahamkara consists of the body-mind complex and till the body-mind complex is born out of prakrti, the ahamkara can never escape from the three gunas. And therefore, our body-mind complex is made up of three gunas and the ahamkara which consists of this body-mind complex is the necessarily made up of these three gunas, and therefore, we can never escape from them. We have to live with this saguna ahamkara. And once we are forced to live with this ahamkara, it is better that we understand the ahamkara well, so that we know how to handle it properly. Science is able to handle the nature more and more only because science has been able to know nature more and more. Knowledge gives the capacity for better handling. And therefore Sri Krishna says: you have to understand your own ahamkara very well. For that, you must know what type of ahamkara you have; which guna is dominant, which guna is in middle; the second place, and which guna is the lowest; better you understand and you also know how these gunas influence your vyavaharika life; both material life, as well as the spiritual life.
