 Abstract

Feminine ideologies have faced criticism for their portrayal of both sexes and the male hegemonic aspects of society. Margaret Drabble and Doris Lessing explore the complex nature of patriarchal pressures that lead women to deceive others. In Drabble's The Waterfall, Jane Gray deceives her friend Lucy to achieve a self-secured position, fearing rejection, competitiveness, and insecurity. In Doris Lessing's A Proper Marriage, Martha desires female liberation from patriarchal clutches through different means. Jane believes that male assistance is necessary for a sustainable and liberal life, while Martha does not compromise on her liberty. Both Jane and Martha feel the need to present their original contribution hidden in male hegemonic powers, aiming to create a harmonious atmosphere in society. Thus, applying the different feminine theories, the current research underscores that both novels exhibit a true representation of a patriarchal society, with the protagonists Jane Gray and Martha Quest aiming to bring a life for women that is equally respectable and liberal to men in all spheres.

This study undertakes an in-depth exploration into the nuanced perceptions held by parents regarding their children's consumption of cartoons. It seeks to uncover the complex influences that cartoons exert on children's development as perceived by their caregivers. The prevalence of cartoons as a primary form of entertainment for primary school going children from six years old, with dedicated viewership emerging by the age of 12 years, highlights the significance of understanding of parental attitudes towards this medium. While cartoons may offer benefits such as educational content, nurturing creativity, and providing entertainment, there exists a parallel concern regarding the potential negative effects they may impart. This study focuses on these divisions and complexities inherent in children's engagement with cartoons. By investigating into the perceptions and judgments of parents, this research seeks to illuminate the intricate interplay between cartoons and children's development. It aims to promote awareness and informed discourse surrounding the impacts of cartoon consumption on young minds. Through an exploration of parental perspectives, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the diverse influences that cartoons can have on children, both positive and negative, within the context of their developmental journey.

 Abstract

Linguistically Karbi is a Tibeto-Burman language. The original home of various people speking Tibeto-Burman language was in western china,near the yang-tee- kiang and hwang-ho rivers. And from this place they went down to the course of the Brahmaputra and entered India.( Indranoshee Das,2005). According to the anthropologist, Karbi belongs to the Mongoloid group. The old name of Karbi is Mikir. Presently, the Karbi community is mainly found in Karbi Anglong and other parts of Assam. The Karbi inhabited areas of Assam are Dimahaso , Kamrup, Morigaon, Nagaon, Golaghat, Lakhimpur , Sonitpur and Biswanath. The Karbi Autonomous district was established on 17th November 1951. Their total population is 8,13,311 according to the 2011 census. Only 11.30% population live in urban area, while the rest live in 2563 villages in rural area. The medium of education in Hills and Plains are Assamese and English . In Hills, few Christian schools teach Karbi language. Most of the students go to the Assamese or English Medium in the Hills area. The Karbi people of Assam use their karbi language for communication in their society. As we know, Karbi speech community is a bilingual speech community. They have wide spread bilingualism among them. They use Assamese language as their common medium of conversation in all purposes. As Assamese language is State language of Assam, hence it is the dominant language of entire State. As Karbi is a minority language, they use Assamese language very frequently in their society. Assamese language enjoys a higher status than Karbi language in their society.Karbi people treat Assamese language as a high(h) language and Karbi as a low(l) language. As wide spread bilingualism is seen among the Karbi speech community, so we can see Fishman's concept of Bilingualism with Diglossia prevailed here.

 Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative cryptographic framework that merges Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) with attribute escrow and key distribution facilitated by quantum teleportation. The developed scheme aims to boost both security and privacy in data-sharing scenarios. CP-ABE provides fine-grained access control by encrypting information according to access policies associated with user attributes. To enhance privacy, attribute escrow is employed, ensuring that no single entity possesses complete knowledge of a user's attributes. For the secure distribution of decryption key segments, quantum teleportation is utilized, exploiting quantum mechanics' intrinsic security to detect and thwart eavesdropping attempts. This integration ensures that key distribution is both secure and resistant to quantum-based threats, while preserving the flexibility and privacy advantages offered by CP-ABE combined with attribute escrow. This framework is especially applicable to areas demanding high security and privacy levels, such as secure cloud storage, healthcare data management, and confidential communications.

 Abstract

The early 20th century witnessed the effort of the intellectuals across the globe having paid the brunt of a world war that took the lives of millions. The carnage of the First World War made President Woodrow Wilson to propose that power politics be replaced by policies based on justice and democracy. However, the concern was more specifically on how to use military means to defend a social order, guard against potential dangers, or gain advantages over actual or potential adversaries. The coercive means ,yet a matter of consideration despite the huge score of human loss. In this way , power is more than just a symbol but is the real source of mutual relations . Civil resistance which has occurred in various forms throughout history, has become particularly prominent being a viable means to check the arbitrary use of coercion by the authority or political administration .An important figure who withstood the aggressive policies of the dominant fascist regime in Italy, is Antonio Gramsci. He is a Marxist philosopher, journalist, linguist, writer and politician. He was a leading and a founding member andleader of the Communist Party of Italy . He was imprisoned by the Fascist regime. The central issues raised in his Prison Notebooks and in other writings such as his Prison Letters include hegemony, common sense, civil society, subaltern studies, cultural analysis, media and film studies, postcolonial studies, international relations, linguistics, cultural anthropology, and historiography. Gramsci was sympathetic towards theoppressed groups within the society who had to succumb to the miseries owing to the unilateral policies of the dominant administration . Sardinian peasants and minerswho were always illtreated by the mainlanders grasped the attention of Gramsci and he took up their cause as an activist.He was an original thinker within the Marxist framework, was known for his ideas concerning the role of civil society between the economic base and the ideological superstructure of societies. He is also renowned for his theorization of the importance of cultural hegemony as a non-coercive means of maintaining dominance in societies. The chapter highlights on the contemporary relevance of non-violent ,civil resistance movements of the civil society for transformation, as Gramsci is known for today.Antonio Gramsci is widely known even in the 21st century for hisimpact on social and political thought, critical theory and literary methodology also as a theoretician and an educationist of the middle and working class . Although he wrote in the 20thcentury , the interpretations of Gramsci's work do provide a link to socio political issues of our contemporary time ,for though the context differ, the content of the issue continue to remain the same. Thus co-walking with Gramsci in our times is of much importance for suggesting vital measures for settling legal and socio-political, historical controversies and for answering normative questions on civil society and political administration .

 Abstract

The history of Indian English literature has one most noteworthy event in the nineteen thirties was appearance in the scene of its major trio; MulkrajAnand, R.K.Narayan and Raja Rao, whose novels were published in 1935, 1935 and 1938 respectively; it is a mark of their stature that they reveled each in his own characteristic way, the various possibilities of Indian English fictions. Mulk Raj Anand has different shades - as great scholar, a teacher of king dynasty, a novelist, a social reformer, a civil servant, a thought provoker, a journalist, a politician, a humanist, a strong writer, a literary story teller - make him produce many useful and outstanding works that expose sufferings of suppressed and oppressed, depressed and downtrodden. Consequently, he proves himself as a versatile genius, an optimist, a humanist, a profound thinker, a moving speaker, an able organizer, a capital storyteller, and a literary architect through his thought provoking and worth reading novels. In short, his novels are nothing but a medley of different shades. The novel "Gouri"takes us to a village, like Nandpur, with its stern classical order obstructing the current changes. The conflict between adherence to superstition and violating it for new values of life forms the fabric of this novel. While going through the novel, it deals with the readers in three angles. The first two chapters show Gouri as gentle as a Cow, suffering mutely under the clutches of her mother-in-law and her husband. The next four chapters focuses how Gouri was necked out of her house, undergoes her metamorphosis as a result of her life at Hoshiarpur. Gourisymbolises the strength and purity of Sita and she is one of the most memorable female characters in the whole range of Indian fiction. The novel, as the author rightly tells us, is his "offering to the beauty, dignity and devotion of Indian women". It is also remarkably different from other Anand's novels in its tightness of structure. The cow like gentle Gouri presented in the first chapter, undergoes epic transformation mainly through suffering and at the end of the novel, she succeeds in vindicating her right to an independent life free from the violation and abrasions of male supremacy.

 Abstract

Soft power encompasses the work of governments and non-governmental actors and citizens and includes economic, political, and cultural institutions and values. Soft power matters. It is an important influence in international relations, global cultures and political economy. Soft power overlaps but is not coterminous with, public diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, and cultural relations. Soft power takes place in a fast-changing global context. In Sri Lanka after the end of the civil war in 2009, there is a move to use soft power by many Tamil groups notably from the Tamil diaspora across Europe and America. This includes involving India, USA, Canada, UK, European Union etc. It is in this context the Tamils should understand the nuances of the use of soft power and exercise it to achieve their goals in the absence of a military solution to this problem.
