Search of Identity: A study of Manju Kapur’s novel “Difficult Daughters”inventionjournals
This paper presents the woman as an individual who fights against suppression and oppression of the patriarchy. The novel Difficult Daughters sensibly shows the position of women and her longing struggle to establish an identity. Manju Kapur has come out as serious social thinker in her novels because there is a purpose behind her writing. All her novels have been written with a definite purpose because the novelist tries to analyze issues related to the middle class or upper middle class women. Manju Kapur is much interested to present the questions and problems related to women in a larger perspective. In her novels, the women’s questions have emerged essentially in the context of the identity of the new educated middle class. Manju Kapur’s female protagonists are mostly educated. They are strong individuals but imprisoned within the boundary of conservative society. Their education leads them to independent thinking for which their family and society become intolerable to them, in their individual struggle with family and society through which they plunged into a dedicated effort to search an identity for them as qualified women with faultless background. The novelist has portrayed her protagonists as women caught in the conflict between the passions of the flesh and yearning to be a part of the political and intellectual society of today
The Monster in Patriarchy: A review in Amma Darko’s Beyond the Horizon, The H...AJHSSR Journal
Women are not supposed to speak in typical traditional and patriarchal societies. While their
husbands address them, they must remain silent to the end of the talk and execute what they are told with no
complain and restraint. Women are therefore assigned roles which make them citizens of second zone and living
at the margin of society. Cultural and traditional norms of their different community allow their desires being
ignored and put aside. Women face subordination, oppression and abuses of all kind all over the time and have
to cope with them. This is the true reality of women in patriarchal societies depicted in novels. One of these
female writings is found in Amma Darko’s novels. Amma Darko’s narrated involvement in the women’s cause
throws up further debates on the role of the female writer in the reshaping of society in terms of gender
inequalities. The present paper reviews the novelist’s radical perspective in Beyond the Horizon (1995), The
Housemaid (1998) and Faceless (2010). Men presented as being monsters in these tree novels are women’s
most feared enemies to combat and slain. The paper also critically explores male dominance as a cultural feature
that maintains women under yoke and submission.
A Woman’s Voyage to the Inner Psyche in Shashi Deshpande’s Dark Holds No Terrorpaperpublications3
Abstract: Novel is probably an outcome of western culture and custom. Its arrival in India has taken its shape in different forms. Indo-English novels of the early nineteenth century have portrayal of male characters as stereotyped. Perhaps the societal influences made men and women writers to pen the suppression of women in their writings. A handful of women writers’ like Shashi Deshpande, Anita Desai, Shobha De, Namitha Gokhlae, and Kamala Markandaya gave voice for women’s inner struggles. These women novelists have incorporated the recurring female experiences in their writings. They tried to create awareness through their writings, which brought reformation, and it echoed over time. Issues on women are still prevailing everywhere. Ostensibly, every writer focuses women on asserting her rights.

Finding one’s Roots: A Reference to Anita Nair and Shashi DeshpandeQUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The eminence of a woman in a society varied with each culture, each country and with each age. Of course, in most societies and in most cultures, like in Indian society and culture, the woman is given an eminent position, at least theoretically. However, in practicality, a woman was always regarded as secondary to a man and was forbidden from all centers of power. Naturally, women were oppressed through different means and ways peculiar to each culture and society which gradually led to the rise of the feminist movement. In which, women were authorized to express their opinions against restrictions and patriarchal injustices. Basically, feminism focuses on finding one’s own roots in the society.The word ‘Feminism’ deals with the higher perception of individuality of women and also the female conundrums. The last few decades have noticed this new genre of writing by women, for women, and about women, particularly in Indian English Writing. Needless to say, the Indian women in these writings are a blend of tradition and modernity enduring the trials of the past and yearning for a better destiny. This is the main essence of feminism in Indian Literature. Women’s writings have achieved a great deal of prominence all over the world. Many Indian women novelists have probed into female psyche in order to establish individuality. The last three decades have observed the emersion of eminent feminist in Indian literature like Anita Nair, ShashiDeshpande, Arundhati Roy, Anita Desai, ManjuKapurand Shobha De who dealt with their female protagonists in a more prominent manner. This paper focuses on “Finding one’s roots with reference to Anita Nair’s ‘Ladies Coupe’ and ShashiDeshpande’s ‘Roots and Shadows

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
To revisit the experiences of women i.e Hindu and
Muslim at time of partition.
To find the reasons behind the subjugated status of
women at that time.
To find the role of narrator who is evaluating the six
women that are present in his life and affect of
societal barriers on these women differently.
To find why women is present at the bottom line of
any center.
Why they don’t get any right which make them feel
secure.
3. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of my research is to determine
about the far-going status of women particularly at the
time of partition of Sub-Continent when women have
had no identification among the society.
I have tried my best level to conduct a
comprehensive research and reflect the same through
the novel in-hand as nothing was carried out in this
regard in the yesteryears.
4. INTRODUCTION
I am going to study the status and role of women at
the time of partition. By going back to 67 years back
in 19th century, when British India was divided into
two sovereign states in India and Pakistan. That time
not only the division of state occurs but also division
of humans, their emotions, and their self esteem
happened.
When in 19th century there is no such written data
on women because women had no importance at that
time and not more history records are present about
women. And also not any media gave importance to
women of that time because media had not permission
to gave importance to women. So I collect my data
mainly from articles written and novels.
5. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The main topic of my research is depiction of female characters in
novel of Jamila Hashmi’s but I also take help in case of literature
review from other women status related novels and articles at the time
of partition and these are…
1, Review Of Talaash-E-Bahaaran By Jamila Hashmi
2, PINJAR Novel By Amrita Pritam(1950)
3, Yaa Khuda Novel By Qudrat-Ullah-Shahab(1950)
4, Reinterrogating partition violence voices of women children dilates
in Indias partition” (PAOLA BACCHETTA)
5, Silence Revealed: Women’s Experiences during the Partition of
India, (Nina Ellis Frischmann and Dr. Christopher Hill, December
8,2010)
6, “Winds of Change?’: The role of women activists in Lahore before
and after partition” (Sarah Ansari)
6. The narrator is exploring that at one site these
dominated men are considering women as Devi
and respecting her like a Devi but on the other
hand they are treating her like a sin.
