The most fundamental relationship in a universe divided into numerous categories and subgroups is anchored in the corporeality of human life. The social hierarchy is mostly determined by how someone behaves and fulfilshisjob in society. This "norm" of the human condition results from ableist normative discourses datingback hundreds of years. In the Rāmāyana, Shravana Kumara is revered as the torchbearer of filial piety towards his parents, who were both blind hermits; they depended on their son’s dedication tofulfilling their life’s end goal. Blackfrom2005 is frequently considered a turning point in Indian cinema since it depicts a handicap narrative quite well. A bildungsroman about Michelle McNally (Rani Mukherjee), who loses her sight and hearing as a young girl, the movie features Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee in the pivotalroles. While Michelle's condition and how she deals with it to move forward in life is the film's central topic, other undertonesmay be seen in how it portrays a disabled female kid.Every opportunity should be considered when casting a disabled actor to actualize the representation of disabled persons in the arts and film. Radical measures must be taken, including reviewing the casting procedures and introducingaudition venues suitable for performers with disabilities. Disabled students and staff members should be actively encouraged to participate in schools and institutions.

Legal language is the essence of our lives as law touches every walk of our lives. There is an indivisible connection between law and language. Laws are expressed in language and language has its own laws. Legal lexicon is an indispensable entity of legal language. In order to understand the laws, duties, rights and legal matters, it is imperative to understand legal language which is full of distinct lexicon. Same words carry different meanings in legal and ordinary contexts. There are archaic words and phrases besides the overpowering of foreign words which have been fully assimilated in the legal language. All these need to be taken into consideration. The present paper focuses on the various facets, features and nuances of legal lexicon.

R. K. Laxman, the pioneer Indian cartoonist whose cartoons have enlivened the pages of the Times of India for decades, comments on the political phantasmagoria of the country through his legendary Common Man,who is seen hanging around in the background of almost all the significant happenings as a representative of the mute millions of our country. The creator of the illustrious Common Man breathed his last on Jan. 26, 2015,having suffered a multi-organ failure. He was accorded a state funeral at Vaikunth Crematorium inPune. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis,announced a memorial to honour the renowned cartoonist. With his demise,the curtain is drawn on an era of cartooning representinga great deal of ethics and balance. The present article is a tribute to the legendary artist whose birth centenary passed unnoticed in 2021.
印度漫画家先驱r·k·拉克斯曼(R. K. Laxman)的漫画几十年来一直活跃在《印度时报》(Times of India)的版面上，他通过他的传奇人物“普通人”(Common Man)来评论这个国家的政治变幻，他作为我们国家数百万沉默的人的代表，在几乎所有重大事件的背景中徘徊。2015年1月26日，这位著名的《普通人》的创作者因多器官衰竭而去世。他在浦那的Vaikunth火葬场举行了国葬。马哈拉施特拉邦首席部长Devendra Fadnavis宣布了纪念这位著名漫画家的纪念碑。随着他的去世，一个代表了大量道德和平衡的漫画时代落下了帷幕。这篇文章是对这位传奇艺术家的致敬，他的百年诞辰在2021年悄然逝去。

Over the years, Indian English Fiction has entered a new phase of an incomparable portrayal of the New Indian woman who is not always happy with the constraining cultural, natural, and sexual duties allocated to her by patriarchal India's unconscious dawn. In her parental house, the woman may be a daughter or sister, and in her husband's family, she can be a wife and mother. She will also be required to perform a professional role. Above all, Nature gave her a sex-based position in which she is naturally limited. Divided between her natural and cultural roles,a woman can be only a daughter, sister, wife, or mother but never her real ‘she’. She wants the freedom to think and live for herself as a human being and liberation from her womanhood. She sometimes escapesher culture-bound duties since there is no way out of her nature-bound responsibilities, particularly her function as a procreator and sexual partner.

This paper attempts to evaluate the resistance to the ethnic and gender subalternity portrayed by Mahasweta Devi n the story, Draupadi. Mahasweta Devi portrays a figure of resistance to the multi-layered subalternity through the rejection of gender performative acts in both theatrical and non-theatrical contexts of subaltern. The story, Draupadi, challenges the conventional phallocentric representation of gender subalterns and colonial domination over marginalized ethnicity through the construction of the character, Dopdi Mejhen (or Draupadi), a young Santal widow, fighting for the socioeconomic freedom of her tribe, who radically stands naked exposing her blood spotted body against the oppressive colonizer after extreme physical oppression, to protest the patriarchal and colonial domination over her body and ethnic community. She is subaltern by her class, caste and gender; but liberates herself from subalternity through non-cooperation resistance. This paper applies the theory of ‘subalternity’ of Ranajit Guha and Chakravorty Spivak to bring out the aspects of multi-layered subalternity and intellectual location of the resistance; and theory of ‘gender performativity’ of Judith Butler to evaluate the resistance of gender subalternity. This research proves that the conquering resistance to the colonial domination and subalternity is the result of the non-cooperative movement against dominant elitism, rejection of gender performative acts in both theatrical and nontheatrical contexts, radical stand against ethnic representation, existential tactic to disrupt the essential codes and dominant administrative colonial power.

An American Bratby Bapsi Sidhwa is a postcolonialand feminist novel.Feroza,theheroine of the novel,is a teenage Parseegirlfrom Lahore. The novel An American Bratis focused on the character of Feroza because she was sent to America to her uncle. There,her behaviourchanged. The whole story revolved around this single character. The parents of Feroza are very modern,while Feroza is a religious and conservative girl when we are introduced to her character. She is never attracted tothe young men becauseshe is regardedasbackward and narrow-minded. She is an innocent individual and loves to stay alone. Firstly, she was not ready to go to America, but her familymade her go thereforcefully. Themodern world ofAmericaproved awful for the sixteen years old Feroza. Therefore the consequences were as appalling as expected. Thisis why the feminist approach can be traced in the novel's texteither from her mother or from herself. Feminism as the dominant approach is waved throughout the novel in one way or the other. This research is conducted to draw out all feminist traces from the text.

Social realism, as derived from the Marxist ideology, is something which adheres to reality, avoids romantic embellishments, and creates truthful portraits of life that expose human flaws. In it, we find characters with genuine jobs and problems. It records the life of an average farmer or labourer. The novel the Gypsy Goddess by Meena Kandasamy is an indictment of Communism and atrocities inflicted upon untouchable coolies and paddy workers. Mena Kandasamy presents the fictionalized version of the tragedy, portrayed on the documents taken from history and interviews of people who faced that actual incident. The landlords murder a communist leader. After that, the Dalit labourers go on strike, Dalit workers are forced to work back on farms, and those who refuse are assaulted and punished by the police. The democratic demand for justice by the untouchables farmers of Kilenmani, Tamil Nadu, are faced with a terrible series of actions which prove ‘might is right’, and the poor, helpless farmers are only left to suffer and die due to hostile conditions. The novel is a fine narrative of their plight and the traumatic conditions caused by the violence inflicted upon them. In brief, it is a fictionalized work on social realism. The present paper is a brief study of events that occur in the lives of Dalit, unprivileged paddy workers and their exploitation by so-called Upper Caste or Landlords and their realistic representation.

Taslima Nasreen is a Bangladeshi author whose name is always in the news. Sometimes it's because she said something bold and honest about fanaticism, and other times it's because she gave a voice to oppressed people who had never dared to say what they felt inside. Today, the world is moving forward in the area of technology. Art and writing are getting better and better as time goes on. Still, it's sad to say that there is a corner where everything is dark, even though it looks like everything is fine from the outside.The author who has the courage to bring this darkness out into the open is Taslima Nasreen, who is not afraid of the oppressive powers. The poet in Taslima Nasreen can't ignore how important it is to touch the body, which also needs to rest and feel safe. Love is the medicine that makes the body feel better. The kiss is a way to show love. When the poet has done everything from early morning until late in the evening, he or she is too tired. Love is what she needs. She is used to getting two kisses on the lips from her lover. She can't get enough of love being shown through a kiss on her lips. She can't picture being able to sleep or rest without a kiss from her lover.

In Dalit literature, autobiography has been an influential mode of narrative. It has been a crucial confessional instrument for expressing the plight of the underprivileged and bringing attention to several levels of oppression experienced by the outcaste. Dalit autobiographies discuss the plight of the Dalit in India and provide insight into how they challenge the power of the upper caste. However, there are two methods to approach this resistance. One, where it discusses the Dalit community's battles against the horrors committed by the higher caste. Second, it has been used as a potential tool to address how women are doubly marginalised in the Dalit community. Dalit women are more marginalised than Dalit men due to the economic, social and cultural factors. In the proposed paper, there will be a comparative study of the two chief autobiographies- one by a male author, second by a female author. The paper would study the representation of gender divide and its intersection with caste atrocities in the selected works. It aims to shed more light on the apparent differences and similarities between autobiographies written by a woman and a man respectively and try to analyse the mode with reference to gender inequality and caste.

Literature and the nation are inextricably linked. A discipline that originates from a philosophical tradition developed with the notion of the country is the study of literature. Since Bhabha claims that the country and narration are comparable, literary tales have a deep connection to the idea of the nation. The real inspiration for Shashi Tharoor's Riot was the 1992 religious disturbances. These riots between Hindus and Muslims took place to "correct a grievous injustice" from four hundred and sixty years before. But these riots were sparked mainly by political unrest. Politicians appeal to voters on particular religious, caste, and geographic grounds. The current essay examines how a regular person might become a victim of riots between groups of people without their fault and how, during such fights, national integrity is threatened and overlooked. A man without a country seems like an impossibility. Love for humankind is the only remedy for violence. "Distracting interventions" can only be overcome by forgiving and moving forward.
