ABSTRACT

Girish Karnad is one of the most important contributors to Indian Drama literature. A multilingual actor, producer, writer and translator, who puts his soul into his plays. Drawing from Indian mythology, Karnad’s plays are not the type that happen at one place and are written about in another. He writes his characters with such care and passion that the audience feels like they’ve known them for years. His dialogues are not just attentively chosen words but descriptive non-verbal gestures too. Karnad makes immense use of literary devices in the most beautiful ways and this makes his plays even more interesting.

ABSTRACT

After independence, a new period in Indo-English literature began. This period is characterised by what is known as contemporary Indian poetry in English or Modern Indo-Anglican poetry. Nissim Ezekiel is one of the renowned Indo-Anglican poets who stands next to Sir Aurobindo in the post-independence era and has a notable place in Indian English writings. He is a well-known poet, playwright, actor, editor, critic, journalist, and teacher all rolled into one. He was awarded a Sahitya Academy Award in 1983 and Padma Shri Award five years later in 1988 for his spectacular contribution in the field of Indian English poetry. Despite being from a Jewish background, Nissim Ezekiel is an Indian poet who writes in English. He has committed himself to Indian values, culture, people and language and Indianness has always been in his blood and writings. The usage of Indian idioms is a significant component of Indianness in Indian poetry. Indianness is a challenging task to define due to the diversity of Indian culture and languages. The Indian contemporary scene, modern urban life, Indian sensibility, human relationship, love and sex and search for identity are the major themes of his poetry. According to Adil Jussawalla, “Nissim Ezekiel is the first Indian poet consistently to show Indian readers that craftsmanship is an as important to a poem as its subject matter.” Nissim Ezekiel has experimented endlessly with form and content of his poetry. He has expertise in flawless craftsmanship which makes his poetry unique. The present paper concentrates on the selected poems of Nissim Ezekiel such as Background, Casually, Very Indian Poem in Indian English, Goodbye Party For Miss Pushpa T. S. and Night of the Scorpion to explore an aroma of Indianness and ordinary events in his poems.

Key Words: Indianness, Indian sensibility, ordinary, culture, human relationship.

ABSTRACT

Online education before the pandemic was considered to be a farce and something non serious in India. Of course there were many online courses that were available for higher education professionals but the pandemic encouraged everyone to explore those tools. Google meet and Zoom became household names. This paper analyses the challenges and opportunities that are seen in online education in India.  It also explores some of the lesser-known tools that are available nowadays that can help in complementing both online and regular classes in the off-line mode both to provide content based knowledge as well as exercises and tools for the enhancement of all the four aspects of communication in the students: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. While technology cannot be a substitute for a teacher; but it can serve as a powerful tool in the teaching-learning process.

ABSTRACT

Reading disabilities are commonplace in the general education classroom. Studies show that inexperienced teachers are generally lacking in knowledge of basic language constructs, a key component to effective reading disability intervention. Substantial research shows that certain intervention strategies are effective in mitigating the negative effects of reading disabilities. An attempt has been made to find out the solution for improving reading comprehension skills among dyslexic children. the objectives of the study are concerned to identify the difference between boys and girls children in their reading abilities. The study followed a single-group experimental design. The findings of the study show that there is no significant difference between boys and girls children in their reading comprehension skills after undergoing a remedial programme.

ABSTRACT

The term both gender and biological sex play a significant role in determining human behaviour. The foundation for offering the underlying strength structures that have aggressively preserved the gender binary used to be laid through a large shift in theoretical view point. Similarly, postmodern feminist and queer theorists' lenses questioned gender as a social development instead than a natural manifestation of biological sex. Gender nonconformity transgresses the traditionally constructed gender binary through giving ordinary masculinity the primary reputation and enabling the strength and privilege related to gender enactment. The definition of gender transgression, however, varies considerably across cultures and historical Periods. The perpetuation of the gender binary and the hierarchal power system is deeply rooted in Western cultures. These power structures are embedded in reified social norms and governmental policy. This paper focuses on identifying forms of gender transgression and its ideological impingement. Combining insights from queer and post-colonial scholarship, it emphasizes the essential importance of a two-pronged theoretical approach.

Key Words- Masculinities, Gender, Biological sex, Manifestation.

ABSTRACT

Advertising can be found everywhere around us. We come across advertisements in newspapers, magazines, on billboards, television, radio, social sites, mobiles, computers, and the means of public transport and at any place the sponsor pays to distribute their message. It is performed using various media types, with different methods and techniques most suited. Newspaper consumer Advertisement is a kind of structured arrangement of communication in a limited, provided, and available space. Communication basically involves sharing and understanding messages and meanings. Successful communication takes place only when there is an understanding between the sender and receiver of their backgrounds. The words and pictures used in advertisements will have varieties of meanings. The most common are denotative, connotative, and contextual. The newspapers are cheap, easily available, and more reachable than glossy magazines. The process of communication in reading newspapers exists at the mass level rather than an individual level or elite group. It also includes non-verbal codes such as graphics, settings, colours, postures, attire, denotation of the products and services, and other visuals which may add meaning to the advertisement text as a whole. The present paper attempts at dealing with how newspaper consumer advertisements function as a tool of communication to reach and influence potential consumers.
