ABSTRACT

Bhattacharya’s women are not just individuals but symbols. The innocent beings in the beginning mature into experienced beings along with the progression of the theme. They finally emerge as people possessing a will of their own facing the future with confidence and renewed vigour. Kajoli, Monju, Chandralekha, Mohini, Suruchi, Sumita, Devjani, Stella and Jennifer do not fall prey to despair for long. Though bruised and battered in the patriarchal set-up, in the end they emerge victorious. What makes the characters unforgettable is the fact that they are concretely, fully, and realistically portrayed and they are a part of the fictional settings in which they live and breathe. They share many qualities in common – compassion, ability to love, ability to mature both through love and suffering, courage, independence of will along with gracefulness, charm and a sense of playfulness. They have great desire to be fulfilled not only as women but also as human beings living in a community. In spite of all the difficulties they face in their headlong confrontation with reality, their vigour and vitality remain undimmed. This paper focuses on how Bhattacharya presented the strength of Indian women who showed their power without breaking from the familial circle.

Key Words: suppression, male domination, individuality, power and space, self reliant.

ABSTRACT

Indian women novelists have been portraying women in various manifestations. But recently, the remarkable range of India’s most accomplished women writers of post-colonial strand has brought a tremendous change in the trend of depicting women characters. Women writers as Kamala Markendaya, Nayantara Sahgal, Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande, Bharathi Mukherjee, Manju Kapur, Gita Hariharan and the others have intuitively perceived the gender issues upsetting women and presented women as an individual who fight against suppression and oppression of the patriarchy. Women have to be obedient, quiet, submissive, and passive not claiming any of their rights neither as women nor as human beings. The present paper analyses the patriarchal norms confronted by the women characters in Manju Kapur’s novels. Kapur has presented the women of the1940s, when women had no voice to assert their rights, most importantly the voice of the protagonist. She raises the voice against male chauvinism to claim the rights of economic independence. Kapur makes the woman a cult figure that fights against taboos, social and joint family restrictions and constraints laid by patriarchy in the tradition.

ABSTRACT

A foreign language teacher necessarily has to invent innovative, practicable and the most feasible techniques to achieve a desired goal. The techniques can be adopted or invented at the individual level of the teacher who deals with the target group of students. In the present time, developing oral communication is a vital component in the teaching of English as a foreign language. The general goal of the teacher is to motivate the learners to speak in the language they are learning. The inclusion of innovative methodologies like direct method, virtual classroom conditions, tools and models and the individual potential related theories may best suit the common conditions for the second language learners. The paper focuses on the utility and necessity of the inclusion of ice-breakers and warmers in the language curriculum prepared for the second language learners. The activities like - draw a picture, guess the feelings, language games, group and pair works etc. are to be practiced by taking much caution of the physical, mental and social conditions of the ESL learners.

Key words :  Innovative, target group, interactive, fun-oriented, psychological, participatory approach, curriculum, ESL, experimentation etc.

ABSTRACT

Ayn Rand was a woman who established herself as a secular cult, a judge of Objectivism and philosophy. Her place in American literature and philosophy is yet to be determined. She awaits her destiny and no one can predict it with certainty. However, she is remembered as whatever, value future generations place on her work; the Russian immigrant girl who rose to national and international fame as a defender of what she considered American values. Rand lived her life as only her unique sensibilities dictated. Ayn Rand is also considered as a novelist who was not satisfied to let her fiction to speak for itself and who spent a quarter century explaining it. She is the systematic philosopher, who flaunted her lack of formal credentials, purposely avoided the mainstream to challenge rather than make the team. We the Living is Ayn Rand’s first novel published in 1936. It is an autobiographical novel. Ayn Rand points out to the vagaries of Socialism in this novel. The novel also defines quite simply, a well-crafted, good-read romantic existence in the post-revolutionary Petrograd.

Key words :  Philosophy, Objectivism, Rational cognition
