 Abstract

The paper intends the views, ideas, and actions of M.K. Gandhi in the process of unification of India during the struggle period and at the time of Indian independence. Further, it looks at his contribution to the integration of princely states in the Indian Union. Mainly, it traces the various stages of the evaluation of Gandhi's view towards princely India such as political, cultural, geographical, social, and historical perspectives. Gandhi criticized the relations between British India and Indian India. However, it tries to analyse the role of Gandhian philosophy as princely nationalist activities or tools and as a counterweight against British rule and native autocracy. It attempts to examine and explains the origins and the growth of Gandhian influence on the all-India princely states' political activities and movements. Besides the relationship of the Gandhian followers of British India and Indian India is also dealt with. Gandhi's non-interference and the obstructionist policy have been critically examined. He looked towards the princely states' problem as internal or indigenous; it was not major like colonial rule so the Indian National Congress (hereafter INC) should not interfere in that matter. Gandhi has expressed his opinion on the non-interference attitude during the freedom struggle of India and post-independence is a prominent place of this article. Apart from this, he has articulated different views to the national leaders and Indian India regarding events and situations of princely politics. The Gandhian thoughts and activities were landmarks in the movement of states for the responsible government in princely states and the unification of India.

 Abstract

In the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry surfactants have played a very important role since their discovery. They've been used in preparations such as shampoo, detergents, face washes and many more formulations make use of these surfactants. But they are also produced from non-renewable sources of energy such as petroleum which causes not only the exhaustion of these natural resources but also their byproducts are toxic to the humans and to the nature as well as their biodegradability is very low. They have a low production cost and can be produced on a large scale. Traditionally used foaming agents in ayurveda have been there for thousands of years along with other natural agents that can create foam are looked at as alternatives to reduce the harmful effects of chemical surfactants. Biosurfactants are the agents which are produced by microbes and other biological sources which are also excellent foaming agents which can be great alternatives for synthetic petroleum-based surfactants. This review article herein discusses such few green foaming agents which are completely natural in origin and can be used as an alternative for chemical surfactants and lead the prospects of our formulations in the future.

 Abstract

Birth weight is the single most important factor determining the survival chances of the newborn. Many of the newborn die during their first year of life. In India over 30 percentages of the infants are born with low birth weight. Nearly 75% of the neonatal deaths and 50% of infant's death occurs among low birth weight baby. Demographic variables were analyzed by using descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation were analyzed by using inferential statistics like chi-square, paired 't' test. The result showed that the effectiveness of selected nursing measures of neonates with low birth weight babies was among 30 neonates on initial assessment day was in mild health deterioration 16(53.3%) and severe health deterioration fourteen(46.7%) and 26(86.7%) had normal health condition and four (13.3%) at mild health deterioration on the final evaluation day. The significant result was P<0.05. This shows the net benefit of this study. Selected Nursing measures was effective for the low birth weight babies and thus reduces the risk for severity condition of babies and improve the health status of babies.

 Abstract

John Stuart Mill coined the term 'dystopia' in the middle of the eighteenth century. The term was first mentioned in his speech to the House of Commons in 1868. Dystopia, being the opposite of utopia or an ideal land, depicts a world full of chaos and destruction. It was in the twentieth century that this genre started to gain prominence. While many writers followed the pattern of creating an ideal land, with an organized structure and a civilized society, writers who engaged in dystopian genre set on to portray the world amidst chaos and destruction as opposed to an unrealistic utopian society. The characters in dystopian fiction fight against environmental destruction, totalitarianism, technological control and so forth. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, George Orwell's 1984 and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale are some of the dystopian works that gained wide popularity. They focus on a world ahead in time where technology and totalitarianism hold the society in its clutches. As it emphasises on an imaginary future, it depictes a world where women are made sex-slaves in order to fulfil the needs of infertile families, a world that is run by technology where it controls the human emotions, and a world that is governed by the surveillance system that puts a halt to people's personal lives. Lately, Indian writers have turned to this genre and Leila, being one of the most influential Indian dystopias by Prayaag Akbar has reflected the same. However, unlike mainstream dystopian novels that offer a vision of an imaginary future, portraying what could possibly go wrong, Akbar's Leila echoes the present reality of the country wherein the caste system plays a crucial role. It reflects upon the current problems faced by the society in terms of social segregation and lays emphasis on the issues prevalent in the society such as honor killings, atrocities based on caste and so forth. Akbar's Leila can thus be called a 'living dystopia' which takes place in a real world and reflects upon the actual society that is slowly undergoing chaos or destruction, unlike the usual dystopia which is purely fictional and warns the real world. The caste system poses a threat to humanity. A large section of society enjoys the privilege offered by the government, while some people are exploited in the name of caste. Therefore, for such people caste can be dystopic. In this paper, the researcher attempts to delve into the aspect of caste in Leila by analysing the segregation that the society undergoes in the novel. This shall be done along with a parallel comparison with other dystopian novels like Brave New World, 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale. It will also focus on the issues prevalent in India such as atrocities based on the basis of caste and honor killings.

 Abstract

This paper focuses critically on Haruki Murakami's notion of music and memory as central to his fictional narratives. Referring to his much discussed novel Kafka on the Shore, it counts on how he uses music as a vehicle to connect the characters to their past. Firstly, it discusses how music is used as a tool to answer and create questions about the past. It includes a discussion on how typically Murakami blends classical music along with jazz, folk and pop songs to bridge the gap between the present and past of the characters. It also acts as a powerful force for soul-searching. Then, it examines the importance of music in reviving the memories of the major characters in order to form a different perspective and redefine things around the characters along with the being of their existence. Finally, it reflects on how the novelist depicts the characters who are touched by the subtle elements of music from unusual pairing of chords to evocate lyrics with handling of imperfections in performance; sees music as a kind of channel to revelation; helps to preserve and recreate intense emotions from the past; and is treated as an opportunity to better understand the deepest inner workings of the characters.
