Political Landscapes and Social Crossroads: A Study of ‘The Ministry of Utmo...Faiz Ullah
The current study explores the complicated portrayal of socio-political conditions in postpartition India and the contested region of Kashmir in Arundhati Roy's novel. The analysis
extends to the thematic exploration and representation of transgender identity within the
complex Indian society and politics. The present study aims to answer two key questions: How
does Arundhati Roy depict the socio-political conditions in post-partition India and Kashmir?
What is the significance and impact of the representation of transgender identity in Indian
society and politics within the novel? Employing a qualitative methodology, the study draws on
expository, evaluative, and systematic approaches, utilizing both primary sources from the novel
and secondary sources from scholarly articles. The theoretical framework is rooted in queer
theory, emphasizing the uncertainty of identity categories and challenging binary distinctions,
providing a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political landscape and transgender
experiences in "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness."
India, the ancient land known as the torchbearer of peace, spirituality and humanism became
testimony to one of the ghastliest and flabbergasting acts ever committed in the history of
mankind. Her own offspring who had lived as a single unit were suddenly bifurcated on
communal lines due to political vendetta. Many authors have incorporated the trauma and
sufferings during the partition. Khushwant Singh and Bapsi Sidhwa are distinguished
signatures in the arena of English literature who have published novels based on the theme of
partition. They have portrayed the traumatic picture of that time making us to feel the pain of
humanity. Thus the present paper focuses upon the literature of partition with special
reference to the trauma in the writings of Khushwant Singh and Bapsi Sidhwa.
India drank the sweet nectar of freedom from the foreign yoke of British Raj but with a heavy
price. The ancient land whose civilisation had stood against the test of time was bifurcated
into two parts- India and Pakistan. The biggest exodus of people ever in the history of
humankind took place from one part to another. A state of religious frenzy and bigotry spread
in the entire Indian subcontinent. People became worse than beasts ever ready to slaughter
fellow beings in the name of religion. The single most affected victim was humanity which
was torn into pieces by its own children. All hell broke loose when people in both nations
were killed just due to their religious affiliations. A plethora of literature is produced on this
subject particularly from the authors of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The trauma and
agony experienced by people has found its voice in the literature of partition by many notable
and distinguished authors. Poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz lamented, „This stain covered daybreak,
this night bitten dawn. This dawn is not that dawn we craved for‘. Muslims migrated to
Pakistan and Hindus to India leaving back their ancestral homes, tradition and culture to
become refugees in a distant land just in the name of fanaticism. Bigotry spew its venom
particularly on women who were assaulted, sexually abused and tortured if they were found
to be of different religion.
The tragedy of partition has given way to literature in almost all languages of the Indian sub-
continent particularly Hindi, English, Urdu, Bengali and other vernacular languages. A
common element in all these pieces of literature is pathos. It is different from historical
account as it embodies the human suffering and pain due to partition. Authors such as
Krishna Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Amrita Pritam, Saddat Hasan Manto, K.S. Duggal,
Nanak Singh and others have revolved their prose on the subject of partition. Khushwant
Singh‟s ‗ Train to Pakistan „, Bapsi Sidhwa‟s ‗Ice Candy Man‘ and ‗Bride‘, Salman
Rushdie‟s ‗Midnight‘s Children‘, K.A. Abbas‟ ‗Inquilab‘ in English, Bhishma Sahani‟s
„Tamas‘ and Yashpal‟s „Jhoota Sach‘ in Hindi.
Almost everyone is doing well..
Modus Operandi of Empowering Women in Some Selected Novels of Anita Desaiijtsrd
Because of the rigid rules and regulations of the patriarchal society we have to empower women for the development of the society itself. In the Vedic Ages women were highly respected in Indian society. “Sahadharmini†which means equal partner was used in that period. Women enjoyed respect, equality, education, and reverence at that time. It was in the age of Sutras and Epics i.e. in 500 B.C. to A.D.500 that the status of women changed considerably. Their position within the society was deteriorated day by day. Manu said that a woman has to be dependent before marriage on her parents and after marriage on her husband. Throughout their life they have to maintain their role as an obedient daughter, as a devoted wife, and as a caring mother. They became the subordinate and silence second sex under the strong clutches of the patriarchal society. The feminist of India consider him as a misogynist. However since independence, the role and status of women have been gradually changed. Through different type of feministic movement which is the outburst of centuries of struggle for women's rights, women become successful to snatch a respectable position for them within the society. Being a woman, the Indian novelists of the contemporary literature raised their voices against the suppressed cultures and traditions of the society where women are considered as inferior to men, through their writings. In this particular paper, the contemporary Indian novelist Anita Desai's two novels ‘Cry, the Peacock' and ‘Clear Light of Day' have been taken up for a brief discussion to understand the status of women in Indian society. Dolan Ghosh | Dr. Anita Singh "Modus Operandi of Empowering Women in Some Selected Novels of Anita Desai" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-6 , October 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd46370.pdf Paper URL : https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/english/46370/modus-operandi-of-empowering-women-in-some-selected-novels-of-anita-desai/dolan-ghosh
The novel weaves together the stories of people navigating some of the darkest and most violent episodes of modern Indian history, from land reform that dispossessed poor farmers to the 2002 Godhra train burning and Kashmir insurgency.[3] Roy's characters run the gamut of Indian society and include an intersex woman (hijra), a rebellious architect, and her landlord who is a supervisor in the intelligence service.[4] The narrative spans across decades and locations, but primarily takes place in Delhi and Kashmir.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

by a renowned Indian writer
Aravind Adiga commits a severe crime. He murders his own master.
This becomes a turning point in his life from being a chauffeur to
being a business entrepreneur and tycoon. The way his identity is
fashioned as result of his own wishes and expectations and the
surrounding controlling mechanisms and forces that manipulate and
alter his thought and perception is brimful of convoluted incidents

speculated and described by Stephen Greenbelt deals with
fashioning by an individual and the
surrounding factors. The cultural and social forces act upon the
mentality of an individual and thus bring about a mutual
understanding between the old-self and new-self, and old-authority
and new-authority. The process of self fashioning goes through a
tremendous procedure in Balram’s life.
