Abstract

Shashi Deshpande, one of the prominent Indo-Anglian writers, captures the tension, trauma and turmoil of the post-colonial Indian women in her writings. Her novels deal with the struggles, daily battles of the middle- class female characters whose stories remain neglected, unheard and silent in the patriarchal society. Though Deshpande's protagonists remain in subjugated condition, but they attempt to show resistance by breaking silence and learning to speak. She uses consciousness of the protagonists as the site to challenge the repressive forces that subjugate, silence women in the Indian society. Her novels are her attempts to showcase the quest of self-identity. This paper aims to show Saru's, the protagonist of The Dark Holds No Terror, pursuit to attain selfhood and subjectivity showing resistance against gender stereotyping in a male-dominated a society.

Abstract

Literature has long expressed concern about ecology and the harm that ongoing environmental misuse poses. Even when addressing the beauty and majesty of nature, literature has always depicted the awareness of the writers about the threat that ongoing environmental abuse poses to humanity and the issue of ecology. This concern and how it is reflected in literature are what have given rise to Ecocriticism, a new subfield of literary study. Nature has been the focus of many artistic mediums and has been treated in poetry in particular. Indian poets who have celebrated diversity include Toru Dutt, Keki N. Daruwalla, Sarojini Naidu, A.K. Ramanujan, Dip Chitre, and many others. On the one hand, it assumes the form of a strength that serves as a mother goddess, a godly spirit, or a friend of humanity. Nature is a major component of both thematic and creative components in poetic expressions, regardless of the form it takes. Many natural elements, including skies, lakes, rivers, valleys, plants, animals, and creatures, frequently take on metaphorical meaning that gives poetry works depth and richness. Modern Indian English poetry is characterized by an eco-conscious outlook and mindset that speaks to our globalized society and even forewarns us of impending disasters brought on by environmental degradation. The purpose of the study is to examine a few Indian English poets who began to focus on an ecocritical perspective on humankind.

Abstract

This research paper examines the evolution and impact of four key labour laws in India: The Factories Act, 1948; the Employee Provident Fund Act, 1952; the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961; and the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Recognising the inherent right to both equality and liberty for workers/employees, the study analyzes how these laws, within the framework of the Indian Constitution, have sought to balance these principles.
