Indian writing in english
This document provides biographical information about T.P. Kailasam, the author of the play "The Purpose", and summarizes the key themes and plot of the play. It notes that "The Purpose" explores class conflict in ancient Indian society, with the main characters of Arjun and Eklavya representing different social classes. Eklavya, from a poor tribal family, is denied training by the teacher Drona, while Arjun from a wealthy royal family is accepted. This leads to an act of injustice towards Eklavya when his natural archery skills are discovered.
Literary theory and Criticism
Shakespeare's plays often featured protagonists displaying symptoms of psychological disorders. Othello exhibits pathological jealousy and kills his wife Desdemona due to a delusional belief in her infidelity. Hamlet shows signs of depression, hatred, and an inability to love stemming from his mother's adultery and his father's murder. Freud analyzed both characters and suggested Othello's jealousy was a result of insecurity and Hamlet's issues arose from an Oedipus complex and guilt over his mother. Lady Macbeth also demonstrates obsessive-compulsive behaviors like hand-washing and dissociative features in her sleepwalking. King Lear exhibits symptoms of old age depression like isolation, worthlessness, and
The Renaissance Literature
Gertrude is the Queen of Denmark and mother of Hamlet. She marries Claudius shortly after her first husband's death, prioritizing affection, status, and position over moral rectitude. Gertrude is an important yet ambiguous character in the play, and her quick marriage to Claudius causes tension with her son Hamlet. She later dies after unwittingly drinking poisoned wine intended for Hamlet.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
