    REFLECTION OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY IN VIJAY TENDULKAR’S PLAY “KAMALA” FADL MOHAMMED AIED ALGALHADI DR. SHAILAJA B. WADIKAR Ph D.

University, Nanded (MS) INDIA (MS) INDIA A drama as part of literature is admittedly a convenient way for showing social problems of society in which story is told to the audience through the performance on the stage by the actors. The present paper aims to study Vijay Tendulkar’s ideas about marriage family in his play Kamala. The play is based on a real life incident. Kamala is a play that elucidates the predicament of women. The play explores how women have been treated by male counterparts. Women are oppressed, misused, exploited, and enslaved. Kamala shows how women are used as a means for fulfillment of men's lust, ambition, fame, and money. The paper presents the horrible exploitation of women in the rural area of India where women can be bought from a flesh market .It aims to show the reality of life of women in modern India especially the concept of marriage and family. This paper will focus on the theme of exploitation which is found in the marital relationship in this play. Key Words: Vijay Tendulkar, Marriage, Family, Exploitation, Kamala, Drama, Women.

  • THE LANGUAGE CONFLICTS: the POLITICS and HOSTILITIES BETWEEN ENGLISH and the REGIONAL LANGUAGES in INDIA Brief Aside. I Belong T
    Kultura — Historia — Globalizacja Nr 7 — Kultura — Globalizacja Historia KIRAN NAGARKAR THE LANGUAGE CONFLICTS : THE POLITICS AND HOSTILITIES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND THE REGIONAL LANGUAGES IN INDIA brief aside. I belong to that dubious and endangered species called the bilingual Awriter. We are regarded as the half breeds and the hybrids, the ones who are caught between two civilizations and cultures and fall in the abyss between. Neither this nor that, neither here nor there, the minority who don’t belong anywhere. I am considered a turncoat by Maharashtrians since they think that I betrayed my mother tongue when I switched to writing in English. And by the bhadralok or the sophisticates of Oxbridge and their cousins in Stanford and Harvard as something akin to the nouveau riche, the nouveau English, the ones who can’t get their v’s and w’s straight. As you are about to discover, I take my role as outsider and traitor to both the languages seriously. Very seriously. I will start by raking up some hoary history. The year is 1997, the year when The Vintage Book of Indian Writing 1947-1997 was published and for which Salman Rushdie wrote an introduction. Here’s a quote from it: “The prose writing — both fiction and non-fiction — created in this period (that’s in the last fifty years since Independence) by Indian writers working in English is proving to be a stronger and more important body of work than most of what has been produced in the eighteen recognised languages of India, the so-called “vernacular languages” during the same time, and indeed this new, and still burgeoning Indo-Anglian literature represents perhaps the most comprehensive contribution India has yet made to the world of books” (Rushdie, West, 1997, 50).

  • Volume 1 on Stage/ Off Stage
    lives of the women Volume 1 On Stage/ Off Stage Edited by Jerry Pinto Sophia Institute of Social Communications Media Supported by the Laura and Luigi Dallapiccola Foundation Published by the Sophia Institute of Social Communications Media, Sophia Shree B K Somani Memorial Polytechnic, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai 400 026 All rights reserved Designed by Rohan Gupta be.net/rohangupta Printed by Aniruddh Arts, Mumbai Contents Preface i Acknowledgments iii Shanta Gokhale 1 Nadira Babbar 39 Jhelum Paranjape 67 Dolly Thakore 91 Preface We’ve heard it said that a woman’s work is never done. What they do not say is that women’s lives are also largely unrecorded. Women, and the work they do, slip through memory’s net leaving large gaps in our collective consciousness about challenges faced and mastered, discoveries made and celebrated, collaborations forged and valued. Combating this pervasive amnesia is not an easy task. This book is a beginning in another direction, an attempt to try and construct the professional lives of four of Mumbai’s women (where the discussion has ventured into the personal lives of these women, it has only been in relation to the professional or to their public images). And who better to attempt this construction than young people on the verge of building their own professional lives? In learning about the lives of inspiring professionals, we hoped our students would learn about navigating a world they were about to enter and also perhaps have an opportunity to reflect a little and learn about themselves. So four groups of students of the post-graduate diploma in Social Communications Media, SCMSophia’s class of 2014 set out to choose the women whose lives they wanted to follow and then went out to create stereoscopic views of them.

  • Syllabus of Arts Education
    SYLLABUS OF ARTS EDUCATION 2008 National Council of Educational Research and Training Sri Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi - 110016 Contents Introduction Primary • Objectives • Content and Methods • Assessment Visual arts • Upper Primary • Secondary • Higher Secondary Theatre • Upper Primary • Secondary • Higher Secondary Music • Upper Primary • Secondary • Higher Secondary Dance • Upper Primary • Secondary • Higher Secondary Heritage Crafts • Higher Secondary Graphic Design • Higher Secondary Introduction The need to integrate art s education in the formal schooling of our students now requires urgent attention if we are to retain our unique cultural identity in all its diversity and richness. For decades now, the need to integrate arts in the education system has been repeatedly debated, discussed and recommended and yet, today we stand at a point in time when we face the danger of lo osing our unique cultural identity. One of the reasons for this is the growing distance between the arts and the people at large. Far from encouraging the pursuit of arts, our education system has steadily discouraged young students and creative minds from taking to the arts or at best, permits them to consider the arts to be ‘useful hobbies’ and ‘leisure activities’. Arts are therefore, tools for enhancing the prestige of the school on occasions like Independence Day, Founder’s Day, Annual Day or during an inspection of the school’s progress and working etc. Before or after that, the arts are abandoned for the better part of a child’s school life and the student is herded towards subjects that are perceived as being more worthy of attention. General awareness of the arts is also ebbing steadily among not just students, but their guardians, teachers and even among policy makers and educationalists.

  • Model Curriculum for Undergraduate Degree Courses in Engineering Technology
    MODEL CURRICULUM FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES IN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY January 7, 2018 (Volume II) ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATIONelson Mandela Marg, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi— 110 070 www.aicte-india.org Prakash Javadekar Minister of Human Resource Development Government of India Message India is a diverse economy and students of today will be the young leaders of tomorrow. India is renowned in producing students of high calibre and it is necessary that our aspiring students are able to pursue the right education. As we are all aware that engineering education is gaining new heights and contributes a substantial share in the overall education system, the youngsters pursuing engineering studies need to be well equipped and updated with the latest technological trends and industrial requirements. This is possible only when the students undergo studies with an updated and evolving curriculum to match global scenario. I congratulate AICTE for developing a model curriculum with the help of academic and industry experts for various disciplines of Undergraduate Degree courses in Engineering & Technology which will be available for Universities and Institutions. This adoption will be advantageous for the students to enhance their skills and employability.

  • Political News Election
    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

These themes are not only relevant to India, but all countries. By focusing on the specific case of India, this course seeks to address some of the major debates surrounding the design and functioning of representative democracy and the controversies surrounding issues related to development. In this connection the student is introduced to the work of some of the most accomplished and influential scholars writing on the Indian polity, economy and society. We begin the course by framing the central issues relevant to the study of India and then move on to view these issues from a historical perspective. By the third week students are introduced to the political institutions underpinning Indian democracy and by week four and five confront some of the dilemmas of Indian democracy like the perceived institutional “decay”, participation, representation, inequality, and the question of Indian identity. Weeks six and seven is devoted to the political economy of autonomy and secession focusing especially on Kashmir and Punjab, and state society relations. During the last three weeks the focus is on India’s efforts to further economic development and improve the economic condition of its people. Here we focus on the making and implementation of India’s economic policy addressing such issues as equity vs.

  • S Play: Bury the Dead
    Irwin Shaw’s Play: Bury the Dead Playwright: Irwin Shaw Adapter & Director: Surya Mohan Kulshreshtha Group: NIPA Rangmandali, Lucknow Language: Hindi Duration: 1 hr 30 mins The Play This is a story of an unknown place and time where a war is being fought for the past two years. On the aforesaid day six soldiers who were killed two days ago are being buried in the battlefield. Suddenly, these soldiers rise and refuse to be buried. These dead soldiers have their own logic i.e. that wars are fought and the common man dies to feed the ambitions, business and greed of a handful of power-hungry people. The corpses say that they wish to live… the life of a farmer, of a son, with friends, with their beloved… enjoying nature, relationships and beauty that this life is endowed with. The women from their homes are called to convince them but that too doesn’t work. In the end the general tries to blow them with a machine gun but the corpses come out of their graves and stand amidst the people, thus underlining the importance of life, and drawing the attention towards the horrors of war generated by sheer greed. Director’s Note Written in 1936 after the First World War, Irwin Shaw’s play Bury the Dead is an anti-war story. The play boldly opposes the use of the common man as fodder for war and violence, to fulfil the personal gains of a few people. The play also conveys the unlived dreams of dead soldiers, and those whom they leave behind to pay the price of war.
