Sujata bhatt partition
Sujata Bhatt was born in 1956 and grew up in Pune but emigrated with her family to the United States in 1968.

She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Bremen, Germany. Her first collection of poems, Brunizem, won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize (Asia). In 1991 she received a Cholmondeley Award.
For Bhatt, language is synonymous with the tongue, the physical act of speaking. She has described Gujarati and the Indian childhood it connects her to as “the deepest layer of my identity”. However, English has become the language she speaks every day and which she, largely, chooses to write in. The complex status of English – its beauties and colonial implications – are also conveyed in some of her poems.

Racism in australia
Racism still exists in Australia according to an article by Fakrul Alam. While Australia presents itself as a welcoming country, Alam and his wife experienced racism firsthand when visiting Canberra and Queensland. The article notes that despite Australia's liberal reputation, inequality and racism persist, with Asian, African, and Chinese immigrants sometimes feeling alienated. However, the Australian government is trying to reduce racism and promote a more multicultural society.
Travelogue by kaiser Haq
My attention was attracted by it almost as soon as I stepped out of Sydney airport and pretty soon I was doing it too—the Australian salute! The gesture consists of the fingers of your hand raised half voluntarily as if to swat away something occupying facial space and upsetting one’s mental equilibrium, but in the end the movement is obviously nothing more threatening than a half-hearted attempt to brush away the pesky, ubiquitous Australian fly. Indeed, I now realize I had seen it often in cricket broadcasts: Big Tony Greig, it is obvious, was doing it in the sidelines, while commentating, as was modestly built Rickie Ponting while taking guard, or brawny Bret Lee when darting in to bowl his lightning-quick balls. And my wife and I were going to do it again and again the three weeks we spent in Down Under Land whether in and around the cities of Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, or Brisbane, where we were to spend 21 pleasure-filled “high” Australian summer (late December to early January ) days!
The Australian salute! I was to see it in beaches, on mountains, outside houses as well as shopping malls, everywhere! It is almost an instinctive gesture, but also a conscious one, telling you that no Australian will attempt to hurt even so horrid, persistent, and irritating a thing such as the common fly. As a young boy growing up not so far away from the drains of old Dhaka, I had been trained to repel it by violent means, as an undergraduate at the University of Dhaka I had pondered the profound realization of the cruelty of nature reflected in Shakespeare’s unforgettable lines (“As flies to wanton boys are we to the Gods, they kill us for their sport “), but here in Australia I was to find out that the aggressive fly always has its way; Australians will not hurt it or “apply desperate physic” as some other Shakespearean somebody had said somewhere. And that is why in Australia I saw wild birds stroll listlessly or indifferently by or swans swim languidly or daintily past Man, not bothered and secure in the knowledge that He had never used a boomerang or a gun to destroy him for quite some time now.

Significance of tarantella dance in a doll's house
The tarantella dance is a wild southern Italian folk dance characterized by swift movements and foot tapping. In A Doll's House, the tarantella dance symbolizes Nora's character and her conception of love and life. When Nora performs the dance for Torvald, it represents her last attempt to please her controlling husband and preserve their marriage, as well as her desire for independence and self-expression. The tarantella dance ultimately signifies Nora's need to rid herself of the poison threatening her life, like the letter from Krogstad that shakes her marriage.

Use of Irony in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles.
This document discusses the use of irony in Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex. It defines different types of irony: dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something a character does not; verbal irony involves a character saying something untrue that they believe to be true; and situational irony involves outcomes that are opposite of what was expected. The document analyzes examples of each type of irony used in Oedipus Rex, such as Oedipus unknowingly fulfilling a prophecy through his own actions while believing he escaped his fate.
Feminism and media
Feminism advocates for social, political, and economic equality between men and women. However, media often portrays women in ways that objectify them or reinforce patriarchal norms. Advertisements frequently use women's bodies and images to sell products rather than portraying women in empowering or equal roles. Movies also tend to focus on male characters and depict women in passive, domestic, or sexualized ways to appeal to a male gaze. While media representations of women have improved in some respects over the last 30 years, full equality has yet to be achieved and women remain underrepresented in media content and positions of authority.
