However, for India, to acquire the status of a "developed" nation, it needs to create 100 million jobs, statistics point out! Experts confirm, in an endeavour to achieve this mark, tapping the potential of the unemployed and exploring opportunities in the employment market, so that each and every person plays a crucial role in contributing towards the growth of the Indian economy is necessary. However, how can one create 100 million jobs? And the million- dollar question is which industry will absorb people and bridge the employment gap? While experts are busy contemplating the possibilities of the army, the railways, the government and the private sector to recruit, speculations about the difficulty in employing in such huge numbers continue to persist.

He has the long, lean elegance of a classic Thoroughbred, reminiscent of his sire Colonel John and second damsire, Canadian Champion With Approval, yet Airoforce received precocious speed from his damsire Cuvee.

His immediate pedigree has dirt and turf attributes.

AMOUSSOU (Corresponding author) Department of English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities (F.L.A.S.H), University of Abomey-Calavi (UAC), Benin E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.5p.208 Received: 23/06/2016 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.5p.208 Accepted: 30/08/2016 Abstract This paper explores the different uses of symbols to express power and interpersonal relationship in Ngũgĩ’s bulkiest novel Wizard of the Crow (2006), with a few illustrations from Matigari (1987). It draws on the semiotic approach and identifies about a hundred discourse strings in which signs are used to express tenor between characters. In the main, supernatural, faunal and floral symbols are found to be main vehicles of power, though many other such avenues as ‘vocations’, ‘social and gender-related symbols’ and ‘biblical characterisation and numerology’, etc are unexplored here for space constraints. Before the analysis, it is deemed necessary to overview the theoretical background to the study in which relevant concepts have been clarified. It has been concluded that there is no other work in which power is so much expressed through the explored devices as in Wizard of the Crow. Keywords: tenor, symbol, index, proverb, modality metaphor, modaliser/ weakener, modulator/strengthener 1. Introduction It is a known fact that the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o uses animal symbols in character naming in his novels.
