A Patch of Land is the translation of the Bharathi's famous poem Kaani Nilam Vendum. It is the newest addition in the TANSCHE common syllabus. This presentation summarizes the major ideas in the poem, analyses it and compares the translation with its source.
Subramaniya Baharathi is one of the corner stones of the Tamil poetry arena. The vigour, sensibility, and rhythm of his poems remains unmatched. Any translation of his poem would be a himalayan task. This presentation attempts to bring out the merits and demerits of the translation in a simple language and in a concise manner for students from an exam point of view.
English version is faithful to the Tamil version in its meaning and structure. Both the poems have 24 lines each. The demands remain the same in both the poems.
The rhythm of Bharathi is completely lost in the translation even though the poem repeats the word Parashakti in every other line whereas in Tamil Parashakti is used only once.
A beautiful metaphor – the white light of the moon being called the shiny whiteness of the pearl (“நல்ல/முத்துச் சுடர்போலே - /நிலாவொளி”) is replaced with “veil of white” which is mundane and Christian (veil reminds us of the bride’s veil)
Bharathi says, “கத்துங் குயிலோசை – சற்றே வந்து/ காதிற் படவேணும்.” The word “கத்துங்” which means loud is an unconventional adjective to describe the music of the cuckoo. The English version uses the conventional “The soft cooing of the cuckoo.”
The combination “கத்துங்... – சற்றே” leaves it unclear whether Bharathi wants the cuckoo’s loudness to be toned down or should it be heard from a distance. The translation removes the ambiguity and declares that Bharathi wants the music of the cuckoo to fall in his ears.
The last line of poem “With the power of my songs, Parashakti,/enable me to defend this earth” is humbler compared to “என்றன்/பாட்டுத் திறத்தாலே – இவ்வையத்தைப்/பாலித்திட வேணும்.”
The last line in Tamil also exemplifies the pride that Bharathi took in being a poet.
In conclusion, the English version is a faithful translation of the poem, though it couldn’t bring out the soft romance embedded in Bharathi’s Tamil.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
