Shashi deshpandes' That Long Silence PPT By Rashmi Vajpayee
This document provides a summary and analysis of Shashi Deshpande's novel "That Long Silence". It discusses how the protagonist Jaya sacrifices her individuality and writing career after marriage to conform to her husband Mohan's desires and patriarchal family values. Over 17 years of marriage, Jaya descends into desolation and depression due to the expectation that wives remain silent and subordinate to husbands. Through introspection and the encouragement of her friend Kamat, Jaya decides to assert her independence by writing about her experience and rejecting the traditional roles of Indian wives. The document analyzes how the novel examines gender inequality, marital conflict, and a woman's struggle to find her voice and identity in Indian society.
Evolution of Indian Cinema
Indian cinema began in 1913 with Dadasaheb Phalke's film Raja Harishchandra. The silent era ended in 1931 with Ardeshir Irani's first talkie film Alam Ara. Major studios like Prabhat, Bombay Talkies and New Theatres produced socially conscious films in the 1930s. The 1950s-60s were considered the golden age of Indian cinema. Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali in 1955 brought international acclaim. The blockbuster Mughal-e-Azam was released in 1960. The angry young man persona of Amitabh Bachchan dominated the 1970s. Regional cinema also thrived with films from Karnataka
Political cartoons
This document provides information about political cartoons, including their history and key elements. It discusses how political cartoons began appearing in American newspapers in the late 1700s to criticize the British government.

The document then describes the main elements of political cartoons - symbols, exaggeration, labeling, analogy, and irony - and how understanding these elements is important for interpreting the cartoon's meaning and point of view. It concludes by explaining an activity where students will create their own political cartoon supporting either the Federalist or Republican party's viewpoint on a key issue from that time period.

Media regulation
Media regulation refers to government control over mass media to protect the public interest and restrict certain content. It aims to regulate press, television, and radio. Media regulation emerged due to issues caused by media exposure, such as theories linking violence in media to real-world violent behavior.

While technology has increased risks like hacking, media regulation still plays a role in restricting graphic or scarring content that could harm viewers, especially children. However, regulation must be implemented reasonably and not restrict important information the public has a right to access.
Functions of mass communication

RK Lakshman's Common Man: Analysis
- 2. RK LAKSHMAN 24 October 1921 – 26 January 2015 An eminent cartoonist, illustrator, humourist and writer, famously known for his cartoon strip ‘You said it’ featured in The Times of India since 1951. Inspired by renowned British cartoonist, Sir David Low he started early, drawing inspiration from looking at illustrations in magazines such as Punch and Bystander. He has also gave illustrations to his brother RK Narain’s works like Malgudi Days and created popular mascot Gattu for Asian Paints in 1954. He is best known for his satirical representations of political scenario specially through his popular character – The Common Man – in his cartoon strip. He has also illustrated series of pocket cartoons. I drew objects that caught my eye outside the window of my room – the dry twigs, leaves and lizard-like creatures crawling about, the servant chopping firewood and, of course, and number of crows in various postures on the rooftops of the buildings opposite — R. K. Laxman
- 3. LAKSHMAN’s STYLESatirical approach towards Indian Politics and Political Leaders An ironical representation of politics in India Humoristic approach towards social and political scenarios Confusion, chaos and helplessness Minimalistic compositions inspired by day- to-day events. The Common Man character acts as a passive victim of all happenings
- 5. THE COMMON MAN General insight into the character Is a passive witness to all the political drama around him. Depicted as a old aged man with a mid aged wife (shown sometimes) Indianized look with signature dhoti-kurta and checked safari coat with Nehru collar. Westernized shoes Seems interested participant but passive
- 7. MAN GENERALIZATIO N No specific identity disclosure No regional influences included in the character No significant references of profession or bureaucratic attachment Mirroring mass opinion on socio-political issues
- 8. THECOMMON MAN PASSIVITY Subject in contexts but like an object to the surroundings Keen observer (wide eyes open most of the times) Neglected or taken for granted Omnipresence Silent, passive worry, accepting and helpless
- 9. MAN WITNESSV/S VICTIM Saved or blown away is the question!
- 10. THECOMMON MAN SILENTREBEL Conscious awareness about the socio-political drama Non verbal (body language) expression and response Reflecting the agitation in the common Indian masses directly and indirectly
- 11. MAN BACKING GANDHI The dhoti style resembling the classic style of Mahatma Gandhi The old age, bent back and bald head maybe inspired from Gandhi’s look The iconic Gandhian spectacles Passiveness of the common man may be attributed to Non-violence and tolerance Commonly accepted image can be none other than Gandhi’s.
- 13. SOCIO -CULTURAL INFLUENCE ON THE COMMON MAN The cartoon reflected the common Indian citizens opinion. It was inspired by the day to day occurrences in the society. It brought out notions of concern in the society in a humorous way that was entertaining as well as satirical
- 14. SOCIO -CULTURAL INFLUENCE ON THE COMMON MAN It was soon seen the revolution of the common man into a more active participant. With RK Lakshman’s common man being a readily accepted notion in Indian society many social and political groups adopted the ‘common man’ to outreach the general Indian masses
- 15. Take 10 to 15 pics and try to analyse it in contexts Reference needed Time magazine remarked in a review of a book of his cartoons - Each morning, Laxman’s frazzled character, known as the Common Man, confronts India’s latest heartbreak with a kind of wry resignation. Meek, doddering and with a moustache that bristles like an electrocuted mongoose, he’s a witness to everything: Scheming politicians, rapacious bureaucrats and gossiping housewives. What’s common about this character is that like most Indians, he sees his country being forced through endless indignities by its leaders and yet doesn’t even whimper in protest.
