The social woes that Gulati's novel presents

Woman is the lifeline of the human race. Women have lost their dignity and equality by being treated as the second gender, both at home and outside. The plight of a female race that continues to this day has been recorded. The life history of the Gulati community is recorded here. The irresponsibility and innocence of the man who makes a living by keeping a woman in the Gulati community can be seen here. Leaving the dance profession and living as a second wife, there is no self-respect and only the puppet of the bedroom has been described. There has been a change in today's youth. The narrator can tell us that he has decided to quit the dance profession and take up another job

Presenting the novel 'Yasodarai', the existence of woman behind man

There are many changes in the modern world, but there is no equal right to see something that remains unchanged even after the emergence of various literary forms from the Sangam period to today. yasodha emphasized that the seeker woman can transform the ordinary man into an ideal before the world, without reaching into the small circle of the house where the Creator takes the way of yasodha to speak out for her own recognition and the welfare of the innate yasodha

Female Language in ‘Udaipadum Mounakkal’ - Short Story Collection

Literature does not encourage gender inequalities. Inequalities among the poets generally decide the language of the literature. Generally, women are considered to be different types of the concept of men. These types of irrational thoughts still exist. Still men feel that it is inappropriate to talk about women’s issues. If a woman declares her thoughts and feelings by herself, it’s called as feminine. Men cannot withstand some of the pains which can be endured only by women. These pains should be revealed by woman in the writing form. Feminism can be classified into three types namely, 1) write against men, 2) woman should reveal her pain through the writing skills of men, and 3) to establish an own writing method with heart. Of all the three types, only third type can be effectively used by woman to ascertain her needs. There are only four literatures have taken for this article. The main objective of this article is to reveal the men’s ideology about portraying women only on the basis of colour, shape and not to think beyond these two

In Vitro Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging activities of Various Solvent Extracts of Marsdenia Brunoniana

The various solvent extracts of Marsdenia brunoniana was prepared and evaluated for its in vitro antioxidant, free radical scavenging and in vitro alpha glucosidaseand alpha amylase inhibitory activities. Amongst the various solvent extracts of M.brunoniana, ethanol extract shows more pronounced activity while comparing with remaining solvent extracts. Hence, the ethanolic extract of Marsdenia brunoniana has been studied for the toxicological, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic and nephroprotective activities in STZ-NAA induced diabetic animals. And the acute toxicity results revealed that the extract did not produce any motility to toxic effects even at maximum dose administered. Subacute toxicity study also explored the non-toxic nature of the extract. Further, the extract was subjected to various studies like glucose uptake assay, DNA protection assay and in vitro cytotoxic assay. The results obtained in these studies revealed that the extract is significantly increases the glucose uptake and it protects the DNA and it also did not produce any cytotoxic activity at the tested dose levels. The Preliminary phytochemical analysis, HPLC, HPTLC and GC-MS analysis of EEMB also revealed the presence of many phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, phenols, methyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside, 4-C-methyl-Myo-Inositol, n-hexadecanoic acid, phytol, rutin, quercetin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid and which are having pronounced biological effects. The EEMB significantly reduces the elevated level of glucose in blood and level of lipid profile in diabetic persuaded animals. At the same time it is able to increase the insulin secretion, restore the antioxidant enzyme system and prevent the weight loss in diabetic animals. It also has the incredible effect on reducing the glycosylated hemoglobin level in diabetic induced animals

Media Strategies in Modern Short Stories

Modern writers are trying to bring change in the world of literature. From time to time the creators try to create various new strategies in the form of short stories. When man began to become civilized, he first invented language for his needs. Language has been used as a tool for communication till date. In the early days, people used the media in the name of 'Thoothu' to exchange their views in the fields of war and love. Literary writers adopt certain methods to impress their ideas clearly and emphatically on the minds of the readers. Media is the medium used to convey one's ideas to others. The purpose of this article is to find out the media strategy used for the story, which is one of the strategies of some selected short stories

Position of Woman in Way of Nayanmar Bhakti

When we think of Bhakti literature, what comes to mind is the Periyapuranam which glorifies the Saivas. The Saiva service of 63 Nayanmars is well documented in the Periya Puranam. The devotional spirit of the devotees who have offered their body, material and spirit to Lord Shiva is expressed. In the Periya Puranam of the medieval period, the Puranam records the elevation of various devotees as Shiva devotees irrespective of their caste and place. However, it is noteworthy that the Periyapuranam also records the condition of women who constitute half of the society in medieval times. In this way, women have been doing their work from different levels as the wife and daughter of the devotees and not as solitary worshippers and worshiping their Lord Shiva voluntarily. It is noteworthy that Periyapuranam also records the situation in which people like Karaikkal Ammaiyar had to separate from their spouse when they came forward to do it alone

Technical Efficiency and its Determinants in Tomato Production in Karnataka, India: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Approach

Low productivity in agriculture is mainly due to the inability of the farmers to exploit the available technologies fully, resulting in lower efficiencies of production. The present study has estimated the technical and scale efficiencies of tomato-producing farms in Karnataka, considering different production levels and has identified the determining factors of their technical efficiency. The study is based on the data collected from the major tomato-producing regions of Karnataka, viz. Kolar and Bangalore rural districts of Karnataka, under three-production situations, viz. small, medium and large farms. Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) and log linear regression models have been used for estimating the technical efficiency and its determining factors, respectively. The study has indicated that most of the farms irrespective of size of holding have shown technical inefficiency problems. The medium farmers have been observed with best measures of technical efficiency, which has been explained by factors such as the land and labour productivity and education. Though medium farmers have been found efficient, with higher yields, it is the small farmers who have emerged as price-efficient producers in terms of lower cost on production (Rs 1.72/kg compared to Rs 2.01 in medium farms and Rs 1.85 in large farms) and higher unit profit. Most of the farms have been observed to have potential to expand production and productivity, increasing technical efficiency as majority have been performing with increasing returns to scale.Agricultural and Food Policy,

Marketing Losses and Their Impact on Marketing Margins: A Case Study of Banana in Karnataka

The explicit evaluation of the post-harvest losses at different stages of marketing and their impact on farmers’ net price, marketing costs, margins and efficiency have been presented. It has been found that the existing methods tend to overstate the farmers’ net price and marketing margins of intermediaries. In fact, the margin of the retailers’ after taking into account the physical loss during retailing has been found to be negative (loss), which otherwise, was positive (profit) in the conventional estimation. Similarly, the producers’ net share and wholesalers’ margins also decrease substantially. It has been shown that marketing efficiency is inversely proportional to the marketing losses. The co-operative marketing has been found to be a more efficient system in terms of both operations and price. Marketing cost has been identified as the major constraint in the wholesale marketing channel and bringing down the costs, particularly the commission charges as demonstrated in the co-operative channel, will help in reducing the price-spread and increasing the producers’ margin. The need for specialized transport vehicles for perishable commodities has been highlighted.Crop Production/Industries, Marketing,

Local Invariants and Pairwise Entanglement in Symmetric Multi-qubit System

Pairwise entanglement properties of a symmetric multi-qubit system are analyzed through a complete set of two-qubit local invariants. Collective features of entanglement, such as spin squeezing, are expressed in terms of invariants and a classifcation scheme for pairwise entanglement is proposed. The invariant criteria given here are shown to be related to the recently proposed (Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 120502 (2005)) generalized spin squeezing inequalities for pairwise entanglement in symmetric multi-qubit states.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, REVTEX, Replaced with a published versio
