  • Visualisation of Women in Media, Literature and Science -Dr
    1 BARTERED BODIES VISUALISATION OF WOMEN IN MEDIA, LITERATURE AND SCIENCE -DR. KAMAYANI KUMAR Women’s bodies have since time immemorial served as a ‘site’ on which (metaphorically) war is fought and albeit conquest is sought. In this paper I seek to discuss the visualization of women in war literature. I will be looking at Rajwinder Singh Bedi’s story, Lajwanti and Guy de Maupassant’s Boile De Saufe. Prof. Rachel Bari Although Bedi’s short story does not respond to the generic classification of war literature yet it deals with a shared fate of women across borders and boundaries of time/ space that is stigmatization of Rape. Ironically, in war crimes which are an emanation of conflict pertaining to boundaries, rape emerges as the inevitable PRASARANGA insult thrust upon women irrespective of temporal, spatial, ethnic, nationalistic demarcations hence conforming that borders are mere “shadow lines” and that borders which serve to demarcate nations also serve to embroil and entwine nations. Violence done KUVEMPU UNIVERSITY against women’s bodies is as old as human civilizations, as Brownmiller states, “Violence, specifically rape against women, has been part of every documented war in history from the battles of Babylonia to the subjugation of Jewish women in World 2 War II”1 In fact, Biblical references depict women as “spoils of that inscribe the victories, defeats, and heroic battles that war” and there are various accounts of the rape of Sabine women primarily reflect men’s experiences of war. in Roman mythology. “The act of rape as a mechanism for “rewarding the troops” with “booty” has been a common feature Temporally/ spatially/ culturally the trajectory of this paper ranges from literary responses to the Franco Prussian war, in the representation of war.”2 Because soldiers of antiquity were frequently not paid regular wages, sanctioning the raping and Partition of Indian subcontinent in 1947against the theoretical pillaging of the enemy served as a way to motivate them to fight.

  • The Relations of the Mughal Empire with the Ahmadnagar Kingdom (1526-1636)
    THE RELATIONS OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE WITH THE AHMADNAGAR KINGDOM (1526-1636) Thesis Submited foe tke *Degcee of Doctor (X Philosophy IN fflSTQRY BY MOHO. SIRAJ ANWAR SUPERVISOR Professor Iqtidar Alam Khan CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 / f ; : ^ iO.i/1 - 1 3;rf;p ifl«(^ ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the sixteenth century the relations between the power ruling over North India, namely, the Lodi Empire and the Deccan kingdoms were generally at a very low key. But it is, of course, true that the Deccani kingdoms were not indifferent to the situation in the North. The sending of congratulatory letters to Babur by trte rulers of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur and Berar, on his success in 1526, goes to testify their eagerness to win favour with any ruler who appeared to gaining an upper hand in North India. Among them Ahmadnagar seemed to be particularly responsive to the developing political scenario in the North. The short term consideration of the Ahmadnagar Kingdom in cultivating friendly ties with the Mughals from the very beginning of their rule down to the end of Humayun's reign, and also with the Surs during their short lived rule over North India, was possibly that their military pressure on Malwa and Gujarat would render the latter two states less belligerent towards Ahmadnagar. But at the same time it should not be overlooked that from 1535 onwards Humayun appeared to be interested in extending his influence, if not actual rule, over Khandesh and Ahmadnagar which is borne out by his correspondence with Burhan Nizam Shah I as well as his making, while returning to Mandu from Ahmadabad, a detour across Khandesh.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi: Their Thoughts on Education from a Postcolonial Perspective
    RABINDRANATH TAGORE AND MAHATMA GANDHI: THEIR THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION FROM A POSTCOLONIAL PERSPECTIVE Asoke Bhattacharya Jadavpur University, Calcutta ABSTRACT Post–colonialism, in its present theoretical formulation , is fraught with many contradictions. Thoughts of Tagore and Gandhi had many inherent contradictions regarding colonialism in general and British colonial rule in particular. Tagore grew up in the ambience of Brahmo religion, a reformed offshoot of Hinduism. He became, in his early teens, a member of a secret society that had the grandiose aim of bringing about independence of India. Being a natural poet, his poetic outpourings in Bengali began to rejuvenate and recreate Bengali literature. In his late twenties he was entrusted with the responsibility of looking after the family estates in North Bengal. There he came into contact with the daily life of the village folk. He started his village re- construction program there. In 1901 he established at Santiniketan, a cluster of villages away from Calcutta, his school called Brahmacharyashram. There he started his experiment in education. What he had learnt from North Bengal was applied here. Gandhi grew up in a traditional Hindu family. He was sent to England to become a Barrister. There was nothing extraordinary in his upbringing. He went to South Africa to work for an Indian businessman settled there. There he came face to face with an atrociously racist regime. His lifelong crusade against injustice began there. He organized two communes—Phoenix Settlement and Tolstoy Farm. There he began to teach the children of the inmates. Thus developed his idea of education. Coming back to India in 1915, he further concentrated on the subject of education in independent India.
