Literature is
fundamentally an expression of life through the medium of language. Art and literature do not rise full – blown
like Venus from the sea. Their creation
is slow and cumulative process. It is
the criticism of life. It reflects the
social surroundings of the writer’s time.
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. Manju Kapur has intuitively perceived the
gender issues perturbing women and presented women as an individual who fights
against suppression and oppression of the patriarchy. Manju Kapur is one among the group of Indian
writers in English who live and write in India itself concerning the problems
of the indigenous people here. She gives
importance to familial characters especially women.

The plight of refugees that Jean has
described two decades earlier is sadly being viewed in recent days in most part
of the globe on account of intolerance toward ethnic, religious and minority
‘other’. Jean Arasanayagam has been a spokesperson of the Tamil refugees who
had been unwitting victim of the three decade long ethnic war in Srilanka. Her
stories recount the horror of alienation and displacement and untold
humiliation meted out to them apart from the tales of hunger, poverty and
miserable living conditions. Looking at the enormity of crisis the world is
facing today, this paper aims to analyze the ordeals of refugees in the stories
of Jean Arasanayagam...

Bhabani Bhattacharya is well-known among
Indian writers in English for his use of art as a medium for achieving social
reforms. Being the writer of transitional period in the Indian Socio-Political
history, Bhattacharya, through his writings proves himself to be the product of
his age. He has depicted the socio-political and economic changes in India on
the background of the contemporary historical events and social conditions.

for Mohini (1952), He Who Rides a Tiger (1954), A Goddess Named Gold (1960), Shadow

oddities present in the Indian society without commenting on their Merits or
demerits. Bhattacharya’s education, travels and experiences as a journalist
shaped his vision of life. It helped him to write exhaustively on social
problems. He was acutely aware of the social , political and cultural problems
of the then society , so that he could emphatically voice the voiceless of the

Sir V.S.Naipaul, the recipient of Trinanidian Nobel Prize, is highly appreciated in the field of English literature for his works. He delineates the Indian immigrant’s dilemma, their problems and plights in a fast changing world. He provides a new dimensions and new approaches to the reader to study the expatriate literature. The novelist highlights the social injustice and indifferences through this novel. Naipaul has a subjective approach towards the jarring of identity and rootlessness. His writing is solely centered on the theme of the quest of self identity and self belongingness. He reflects his individual experience of chaotic and thwarted world of Trinidad in his works. He skillfully projects the confluence of two cultures-South African and Indian. The bitter experiences of his own life became the source of his writings. The present paper studies Naipaul’s A House for Biswas with the view to delineate the struggle of modern man for identity formation. The paper highlights the issues like agony of an exile and the pangs of a man in search of meaning and identity. The present paper investigates the modern dilemma of rootlessness, alienation, the quest for identity.
Keywords: Modern dilemma, self identity, self belongingness, rootlessness, alienation, struggle for existence, obscurity etc.

'The Queen of Kittur' can be read as a postmodern historical novel that seamlessly blends the boundaries between fact and fiction, even while asserting the claim to objectivity of historical narratives. This study categorizes the novel as a representative of historiographic meta-fictions which enable different voices - the voice of history and the voice of fiction - to be heard by opening the dominant discourse of history to multiple perceptions. The postmodern text is analyzed with respect to the writer's emphasis on how history is essentially a human construct.
Key words: Historiography, Postmodern novel, heroic women, facts and fiction, Queen of Kittur, Basavaraj Naikar.

Almost three hundred years ago, British
author and Politician Joseph Addison had this to say about it: “If the minds of
men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the
wise man and that of the fool. The difference is that the first knows how to
pick and cull his thoughts for conversation … whereas the other lets they all
indifferently fly out in words.†And this is still true today...

A House for
Mr. Biswas is one of the few novels of Naipaul in which the essential human
condition and the leading themes are expressed through a central pattern of
imagery and symbolism. It draws upon images and symbols largely to express the
alienation and mental turmoil of the hero in search for form and meaning of
experience. The deliberate, autobiographical structure of the novel in its
chosen details and the recurring images of darkness, decay and death are
remnants of Biswas's struggle. Naipaul's fictional technique is a mixture of
several diverse qualities. He is a satirist with an insatiable appetite for
commentary and observation; a comic writer who presents the

Shobha De’s all novels begin with the
titles beginning with ‘S’. For the critics, the letter ‘S’ stands for sex.
Shobha De does not allow her woman characters to treat sex as something tabooed
or inhibited. One of the critics has commented as, “It is not the sex that is
objected to, but the manipulation. The sex is included purely for titillation,
as a necessary ‘ingredient’ to sell the books, much in the way a certain number
of songs and dances are inserted into
Hindi films. Many of her sex scenes can be dropped without any damage to the
flow of the story.†[Times Magazine. 1998] Shobha De recommends a mature
attitude to sex. It is not like baby food: “I love sex, like I love food. It’s
same sort of hungerâ€, [Snapshots. 1995: 134] says the protagonist Rashmi in
Snapshots. What Shobha De detests is mechanical. It is loveless and routine
sex. Sex for Shobha De’s women is palpable. Their sex is pulsating and
compelling reality. They do not hesitate to accept it as an important part of
life. On the contrary, they think and talk about it boldly. They participate in
it actively, turning upside down the traditional image of woman. For them, sex
is shameful, hidden sin. Through her woman protagonists who talks openly about
sex, Shobha De seems to herald the arrival of a new woman. These women do not
lament for the existing sub-ordination and passivity of woman. They project
their own passions onto others as a female power play in order to deconstruct
the male ego. Shobha De attempts to challenge the conventional image of woman
as a sex object. She tries to dismantle every kind of taboo on sex for woman. Women
protagonists in her novels are more assertive as far as sex is concerned.

Michel
Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world,
someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines
ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. He was perhaps
one of the single most famous intellectuals in the 20th century. This
paper is focussed on the development of the concept of Power from Machiavelli,
Hobbs and Weber to Michel Foucault. This condensed survey describes in general
lines how the discussion of power burst through the boundaries of organization
and location and penetrated into all the domains of the social discourse.

Repression, Resistance, Productivity, Discipline

Women are always the suppressed class.
The study of women autobiographies is the study of the experiences and emotions
of the suppressed class. The status of women is always secondary in every
society. What the oppressed suffers, she suffers the same and yet without any
status. Thus she is doubly oppressed. It is interesting to understand the
realities women have to face in their lives. She undergoes the tortures,
perseverance toils, pains, sometimes unnecessarily. The best realization of the
facts of her life can only be understood through autobiographies. It is the first, second hand experience a
reader gets. It also gives the picture of her struggle to gain a status, to
have the identity, to have individual freedom, to participate in decision
making etc. This aim is achieved at different times for different women. It is
seen that women in South Asian countries have taken a long time for this type
of awakening. The picture is different in the Western countries. The present
study intends to undertake the task of highlighting the evolution of identity
in the writings of the women’s autobiographies. Women’s autobiography has now
achieved a significant place in literary writing and criticism. The publication
of anthologies on the subject has increased over the past few decades.

As Carol’s husky voice
mumbles the finale “If poetry could truly tell it backwards, it would†in the
video of her poem “Last Post†in sync with the British martial music it leaves
a draining effect in the listener on the scores of veterans lost and still
being lost in the Wars. The poem was a
tribute to the two war veterans of World War I
– Henry Allingham and Harry Patch
who lived long enough and relatively in obscurity to carry the tales in their
memory. Henry was in the seaplane aboard
the Royal HMT Kingfisher, a naval trawler patrolling the high seas to ward off
the German fleet during World War I.
Patch was injured in the groin during the battle in France in 1917 while
three other soldiers died in the shelling. Both died in the space of a week in
July 2009, earning the sobriquet of the 13th and 14th oldest war veterans in
Europe.

Creative writing does not inform rather reveals. So
it bears no reference. The present article is an outcome of creative writing
meant for lay readers. As such free style is the methodology adopted so that
pleasure of reading can be enjoyed by the common mass. As you know well that
Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the immortal essayist, wrote many essays namely Of
Love, Of Friendship, Of Ambition, Of Studies, etc. The myriad-minded genius
rightly pointed out that all the words of the dictionary can be the themes of
essays one can write. But little has been done, in this regard since his death,
in order to finish his unfinished monumental works. In fact Bacon's way of
presentation i.e., his unique individual style kindled the imagination already
in me and encouraged me as well to write essays, in the light of creative
writing, thus to get relief through Catharsis.

from the city to enjoy a few days by the sea-side. But he was not alone. His
girlfriend also accompanied him whose beautiful face could be traced in many of
the portraits and sculptures of the renowned artists.

While fossil fuels will be the main fuels for thermal power, there is fear that they get exhausted eventually in this century. Therefore many countries are trying other systems based on non-conventional and renewable sources. These are solar, wind, sea, geothermal and biomass, after making a detailed preliminary analysis of biomass energy, geothermal energy, ocean thermal energy, tidal energy and wind energy. In wind power, I have studied mechanical design of various types of wind turbines, their merits, demerits and applications, isolated and grid-connected wind energy systems with special attention to power quality.
