ABSTRACT

The production of the gendered spaces is a hierarchical and oppositional system in the realms of public space of male domination over the private space of female subordination. The male gender is always considered as a superior than the female gender. Women always fight to get the proper place in society but male gender always dominates them to show their supremacy. Space and gender are interrelated to each other as both the phenomenon has connected with the power relations. The relation between masculine space and feminine space create the contradiction in both public and private realms that touches the gender concerns. It is considered that gender is the synonym for sex, as it identifies the different contradictory sexes i.e. man and woman. But according to the varied perspectives of the gender, it is quite different and dissimilar to the concept of the sex because sex refers to the biological realities of the two opposite genders-male and female and gender refers to the socially constructed phenomenon. The biological reality and socio-cultural perspective of the masculinity and femininity create the ambivalence in two opposite sexes. The present paper attempts to analyze the construction of space and gender issues in Anita Nair’s The Lessons in Forgetting.

ABSTRACT

The death and the dying process was a topic that was not discussed openly in public. However, with the debates about the act of allowing a patient to die legally, has widened the scope of many disciplines like legal, medical, psychological and philosophical bracing the ethical values to a wider population of society. Patients that suffer with a terminal disease are left to deal with their emotional, psychological and clinical struggles on their own. As a terminally ill patient faces death every moment the fear of not knowing the time and place of their death is so profound that some of them would request to be assisted to die rather than going through the dying process each day.

ABSTRACT

What will tomorrow’s business scenario and what needs to be successful? This is a critical question, all the organization face today. To answer this question, an organization needs efficient leaders. Development of good leaders is a continuous process and includes mentoring, training, education and experiences. To survive in the 21st century, we are going to need a new generation of leaders—leaders, not managers. Research on leadership indicates that 50-75% of organizations are currently managed by people sorely lacking in leadership competence. They are hired or promoted based on technical competence, business knowledge and politics not on leadership skill. Before explaining in detail about leadership, it is worthwhile to know whether it is a skill or a talent. If it is a talent, then leadership is an inborn quality as talents are innate. If it is a skill, then it can acquired by voracious reading, learning, continuous practice, training and experience. If it is a talent, then the leaders and if it is a skill then the leaders are made. Leadership is more action rather than preaching. It is the ability to lead from the front with a passion and with a conviction of a great vision, despite many successive setbacks. It is also taking a sense of responsibility, setting as a role model with qualities like courage, commitment and conviction. Leadership is also a way of calling ‘we’ not ‘I’ because no leader is successful as an individual. Whenever there is a success story, the leader ascribes it to his team and in case of failure, he owns the sole responsibility. Good leaders always talk of positive things and make positive statements like ‘you can do it’, ‘it is possible’, ‘you will achieve big’ and so on. And they never make negative remarks like ‘it is impossible’, ‘it is doubtful’, ‘you can never improve’, etc. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. - John Quincy Adam

ABSTRACT

Multi-stored buildings constructed for the purpose of residential, commercial, industrial etc., with an open ground stored is becoming a common feature. For the purpose of parking, usually the ground stored is kept free without any constructions, except the columns which transfer the building weight to the ground.  For a hotel or commercial building, where the lower floors contain banquet halls, conference rooms, lobbies, show rooms or parking areas, large interrupted space is required for the movement of people or vehicles. Closely spaced columns based on the layout of upper floors are not desirable in the lower floors of such buildings. For this purpose, floating column concept has come into existence. The floating column is a vertical member which rest on a beam and doesn't have a foundation. The floating column act as a point load on the beam and this beam transfers the load to the columns below it. But such column cannot be implemented easily to construct practically since the true columns below the termination level are not constructed with care and hence finally cause to failure.

ABSTRACT

South and west were home to Christian traditions early on: the Syrian Christians of Kerala trace their origin to 1 A.D. and historians agree that there was a Christian community in Kerala at this time. Though these Christians maintained links with Chaldea or Persia, the community remained relatively isolated from Western Christianity at least until the sixteenth century - Keralam Christianity was linked to west Asia, not Western Europe. Next came Catholic influence, with Catholicism in Goa being four hundred years old. It was only at the end of the eighteenth century, however, that the north witnessed a significant growth in Christian missionary activities, although a few efforts predated that period and there were small groups of converts here and there. The mid-eighteenth century conversions to Catholicism in Bettiah, where the local ruler patronised the mission, is an interesting case (Sahay, 1986). In the northeast, where Protestantism dominates, Christianity is largely the product of nineteenth and twentieth century conversions. Thus while Christianity is often associated with British rule and the process of westernisation, it is clear from the discussion above that its appearance in India preceded the British by several hundred years. Indeed, one might say that Christianity in India is as old as the faith itself. Clearly Christianity has come to India from different parts of the world, at different historical moments and out of different impulses. It is crucial to 5 Christian Communities of India: A Social and Historical Overview Rowena Robinson differentiate between the British and pre-British periods and within both of these there are further distinctions – these are outlined above and will be discussed in slightly more detail below. As noted, the earliest known Christian community is that of the Syrian Christians.

ABSTRACT

The name "Dalit Christian" is more recent; However, the identity of Dalits as Christians is as old as Christianity in India. Although Christianity originated abroad, it has it roots in India. It is believed that St. Thomas came to Kerala in the 6th century and some Brahmin families in South India converted to Christianity. These converts were known as Syrian Christians. In 400 AD, Christian missionaries succeeded in converting many Hindus to Christianity. For the untouchables, deprived of every social right and human dignity in Hindu society, Christianity allowed them to emerge from the mire of untouchability and achieve a caste-free society. In the following years, many Dalit communities like Chahura of Punjab, Chamar of Uttar Pradesh, Wankar of Gujarat, Mahar of Maharashtra, Parairs of Tamil Nadu and Pulye of Kerala became Christians. Sobin George says in his article that the Christian population in Punjab increased after conversion 3912 in 1881 up to 3,95,629 in 1931. (George,7)

ABSTRACT

This research paper centers on the works of Toni Morrison (also known as Chloe Antony Wofford) in general and Gender Study in particular. Toni Morison’s writing include:  Sula, Song of Solomon, Bluest Eye, Beloved and Tar Baby.  Her writing deals with the themes of feminism, gender identity, racism, violence, oppression, lust, desire, sacrifice and sexism.  Gender identity and slavery were the peak and dominant issues of the past and still haunts the present like a shadow. The big issue of suppression in that culture is being black human being. Whites or any man could not relinquish the racist opportunity or the gender rights. The conflict between the black and the white societies, the violence and bloodshed between the black societies have been presented   nowhere   so   effectively   in   the entire American fiction.  Morrison having been born and brought up in the North, a free state where neither slavery nor racism flourished in its full form was left untouched with the truth of racial segregation. When Morrison came to the South for higher education was a surprise to see separate water fountains for blacks and whites; separation of seats in buses and trains by using bars. Though   all   her   works   are suffered with violence, Morrison has portrayed the violence through  her novels in a very unique way.

Keywords: gender, race, sexism, lust, violence, oppression, community, culture, feminism etc.
