Display of Exceptional Bravery and Valiance by an Outstanding Indian Heroine: A Focus on Basavaraj Naikar’s Historical Epic Novel The Warrior Queen of Keladi
By: R. K. Mishra
Page No : 1-13
Abstract
The Warrior Queen of Keladi is a historical epic novel that comprehensively portrays the exceptional heroism and gallantry exhibited in the battle by the Rani Chennamma an outstandingly brave and valiant queen of Karnataka. She figured supremely as an invincible and invulnerable warrior for her consecutive and consistent victory over her enemies for protection and emancipation of her kingdom by virtue of her heroism and bravery. She glorified and dignified her regime on account of her Amazonian temper and prowess. Rani Chennamma, the Queen of Keladi, becomes ferociously belligerent and monstrously combatant against her enemies but meekly compassionate and beneficently benevolent towards the underprivileged. The novel depicts superhuman heroic achievements of the queen in the battlefield. It assumes historical significance.

Medieval Aesthetics in The Windhover: An Explication of the Beauty of Body, Mind and Character
By: Jaideep Chauhan
Page No : 58-62
Abstract
Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poems often centre on religious meanings, symbols, and themes illustrated through nature. One meaning of the ‘The Windhover’ is that the glory of God is reflected in nature. This meaning can best be understood through exploration of the poem’s symbolism and themes of the power and perfection of nature, and the power and praise of Jesus Christ. A key to understanding ‘The Windhover’ is seeing the bird as both an embodiment of the power and perfection of nature being witnessed by the speaker, and also as an embodiment of Christ. This dual interpretation of the bird reflects a natural experience of awe and a greater spiritual understanding of it, that of being in awe of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. The symbol of the bird as Christ can be understood through biblical symbolism, Hopkins’s word choice, and references to different representations of Christ. In the Middle Ages, Christ was depicted as a knight, which is why Hopkins addresses him as “O my chevalier!” (Line 11). Hopkins also uses medieval French words such as “dauphin” and refers to a “kingdom” in order to allude to Christ, who is seen as the son of God, and ruler of the kingdom of heaven. The agricultural references to the plough and soil towards the end of the poem link to Christ, who often told moral lessons in parables, or short stories related to fruit trees, seeds, soil, planting, and harvest. While the plough overturns the soil to create rich, shiny soil for planting, Christ overturns human hearts to make them figuratively shiny and new.

The Theme of Death - Life in Time: Larkin’s Perspective of Death, “A Black-sailed Unfamiliar”
By: Rajamouly Katta
Page No : 63-74
Abstract
For Philip Larkin, time initiates life with birth and advances it through growth ultimately to culminate in death, the end of life. Life turns a victim to the harsh reality of death, the deathprone reality to mark mortality. He, therefore, treats death as the climax and the curtain-fall of the drama of life. He looks at time as the only destroyer because it has eroding agents for corroding powers. Death marks mortality but not eternity of life, the spiritual aspect of life as in The Gita. The spiritualists are unlike him with his agnostic background. He treats time as a double-edged weapon for it turns our life mortal on one side and our life with all ambitions futile on the other. He, therefore, does not believe in life after death, the state of oblivion in life. Life is therefore a journey to flow from womb to tomb, the two oblivions of life. He further believes that death is “anaesthesia” because it does not let man know its silent occurrence. In time’s endless fleet, the evening, symbolic of old age, culminates in the night that symbolizes death. Time puts an end to life like winter to put an end to the cycle of seasons. Life, in the flux of time, is transient like the flower. Life is a hard journey through time as he finds the present hollow and dreary and the future bringing inevitable death. He grows conscious of the motionlessness, emptiness, nothingness of life as death puts an end to everything, causing pain and suffering. Life leads to the desperate cry in the horror of death. The fact of death constantly worries him “dreadfully.” His poetry reflects man’s struggle in evading the horrifying and terrifying fact of death. There is no poet to delineate death, the harsh reality, so vividly as Larkin. His poetry, therefore, presents the concept of death in kaleidoscopic details.

The Role of Poetry in Remembering
By: Sagar Mal Gupta
Page No : 85-89
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that poetry is the most powerful means of expressing memory. Memory presupposes the recollection of past experiences in the present. Memory can be of two kinds: painful and pleasurable. It can be personal or social/of the group. The reader or the listener identifies himself/herself with the feelings and emotions expressed in the poem. Take for example, Lady Macbeth’s sleep-walking scene in which she says: ‘All the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten this little hand.’ The intense agony expressed in this line affects the reader/listener intensely and he/she identifies himself/herself with the agony. When one reads a poem on Joshimath or Morbi or on The Earthquake in Turkey and Syria, one undergoes the trauma of group memory.
There is no evidence to show that the memories of crisis last longer than those of good times. But common sense says that it may be true. It would be worthwhile to make a difference between remembrance and memory.
The paper discusses memories of various kinds by giving examples from poets such as Thomas Hood, Laurence Banyu, Shelley, Wordsworth and Rossetti. The paper concludes that by examining the poetic expressions on memory, the research reported in this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of enduring nature of memory.

“Self-Help is Help-Self”: ‘The New Motto of Self-Aggrandizement in Manto’s Women’
By: Preeti Chaudhary
Page No : 15-22
Abstract:
This research paper aims to study Saadat Hassan Manto, a well known short story writer in South Asia. Most of his works target the whole generation of women who were the worst sufferers before and after partition, whose bodies and ‘self’ were crushed. They suffer the heaviest acts of rape and murder which became common during the partition of Indian subcontinent in 1947. This research paper emphasizes on the victimization and narrative of women who were detected and supposed to be mute and totally ignored. Manto does not differentiate between classes and represent the magnified image of despoiled and partitioned self of women. He remains neutral and yet strong when it comes to his view. It also comments on Manto’s innovative technique of giving voice to the ignored section of society, women, who displayed their victimization and marginalization strive to make a living and try and make sense of their scattered realities.

Ecological Rhapsodies: An Earth-centric Reading of Richard M. Grove and John B. Lee’s Two Thousand Seventeen: Sesquicentennial Poems
By: Basudhara Roy
Page No : 23-28
Abstract:
Two Thousand Seventeen: Sesquicentennial Poems (2018) is a collection of forty-nine exquisite poems - twenty-nine by Richard M. Grove and twenty by John B. Lee, brought together to celebrate the sesquicentennial anniversary of Canada’s birth in the year 2017. Diverse in their themes, style and depth, the brilliant welding together of these poems into a firm composite owes itself to an overarching topophilia. The present paper attempts to undertake a bio-centric reading of the book from the point of view of contemporary theories in Ecocriticism and seeks to establish these poems as being predominantly about place and the ways in which we root in and relate to it. It proposes that these poems can, in Timothy Morton’s words, be termed as ecological rhapsodies in which nature is both protagonist and witness and in whose rhythms, both sustenance and wisdom are to be discovered.

Gandhian Ideology: A New Paradigm of Developmental Communication
By: Suruchi Upadhyay
Page No : 38-43
Abstract
With contemporary mode of modus operandi, there are several discourse and ‘ism’, emerged, but the most potent and influential discourse in original form is a Gandhian Discourse. Although, Gandhian Discourse is disconnective genre in emerging new paradigm shift, and recent shades of upcoming literary trends of writings, but every hidden treasure can be dug and pruned to acclimatize intellectual thrust of mind. Mahatama Gandhi, undoubtedly was the most influential and at times controversial figure. Nevertheless, the influence of Gandhian ideas and philosophy affects on a larger scale, both at national, and international fronts. Gandhi, a well determined man, with strong conviction and unruffled thoughts was the only binding force to unit all at equal front for setting our country free from British colonial regime. The utilitarian traits of Gandhiji well proved that ‘united we stand and divided we fall’. The present paper is a sincere effort to point out how Gandhian ideology plays an important role in giving new strength, new confidence to Indian Language by establishing a new kind of Developmental Communication which influences not only individual, but also society, particularly, taking into account two novels Kanthapura by Raja Rao (1938), and Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable (1935).

Vivekananda (The Voice of India): A Study of Dialogues on Awakening
By: Abnish Singh Chauhan
Page No : 28-33
Abstract :
R.M. Prabhulinga Shastry’s Vivekananda (The Voice of India) is a three-act play based on awakening dialogues on the being, the super-being, the Almighty, the soul, the world, Maya, duty, education, knowledge, marriage, truth, consciousness, love, sage or rishi, life, death, birth, rebirth, ultimate purpose of life, etc., for blissful living. In fact, these vivid and colorful dialogues on various subjects of socio-cultural and spiritual values are courteously taken from the real speeches of Swami Vivekananda, who himself is the most significant character of this play, and are intimately and intensely revealed during his communication with the other fictitious characters hailing from different parts of the world. The play, particularly through asking and answering questions, distinctively reproduces the practical philosophy of life as revealed in the Vedic literature for the thoughtful development of the global audience.

The Concept of the Past: “The Forgotten Boredom” in the Poetry of Philip Larkin
By: Dr. K. Rajamouly
Page No : 41-52
Abstract
Larkin as man and poet finds time as man’s element. Time is not an abstract idea but a moving force. Life is rooted in time with “eroding agents”. Life initiating with birth looks into the future as seen from childhood. It traverses from the future to the present and finally to the past. Time is practical for him as fate to a fatalist, reason for a rationalist and the divine to a theist or spiritualist. Time has mysterious powers to turn life into mortality and futility. In life, birth initiates childhood to have all expectations about the future, proceed to manhood or womanhood to find them unfulfilled in the present that turns into the past. He treats the past as the uneventful experience. He considers childhood in his middle age “forgotten boredom” and “unspent”. His poetry reflects the past sans sentimentality.

G. B. Shaw: “A Male Feminist” in his Non-Dramatic Works
By: Radhashyam Dey
Page No : 102-107
Abstract
Charge against literature that it is of no practical utility and it encourages people to be fanciful is not new. Plato’s Republic is full of charges against literature. Also many great minds have defenses for the need and utility of it. Plato’s disciple Aristotle defended literature with some solid arguments. In our time G.B. Shaw showed us through his literature how it could pave the way to social betterment. Women Empowerment is a burning issue of today. Shaw in his literature championed the cause of women. G.B. Shaw though is labelled a misogynist, interestingly in many ways fought for the rights of women. So, through literature Shaw served the practical purposes and succeeded in making his works relevant.

Reservation Policy: Unheard Voices of Hindi Poets
By: Radha Kanta Mishra
Page No : 8-16
Abstract
In Indian democracy, reservation policy is one of the major tools to reaffirm and develop right to equality as guaranteed, by the Constitution, to all the citizens of India and, in a way, to uplift the weaker and deprived sections of the society. But, due to its wrong interpretation and implementation in the present scenario, it is continuously creating a new type of disadvantaged and disheartened group in Indian society. Hence, the research paper tries to explore poetic expressions of a few contemporary Hindi poets for understanding the present form of reservation policy and its resultant effects on nation-building and nation-branding.

Language and Rituals as Transcultural Motifs in South Asian Novel – Anil’s Ghost
By: Neelanjana Pathak , Tuhina Bose
Page No : 17-24
Abstract
Diasporic fiction works as a wheel to connect the mother nation with the adopted nation in time and space, and as more and more diasporic narratives gain popularity, the nuanced stories from the previously colonised nations are gaining a momentum. Ondaatje who has spent his childhood in Sri Lanka and now is a Canadian citizen, weaves Anil’s Ghost as a tapestry heaped with transnational sentiments, he looks back at South Asia as a cultural hub; for writers like Ondaatje, it is extremely important to create space for the unheard stories of their people and connect it with the mainstream literature, as a commitment to the honesty of writing. Having gone through the experience of diaspora such writers have endowed their fiction with the sentiments of hybridity, multiculturalism and globalization in abundance. As these metanarratives speak of the people who were either never spoken about or were subjugated, they attempt to explore the historical facts and dig deeper into the archives to unearth these disembodied voices, perhaps for emancipation and for challenging the disavowal of native cultures.
The two major pillars that are indicative of cultural changes for any kind of people are language and religious/ritualistic practices. Language, the basic element of dialogue, is still an inexhaustible source of conflicts and coexistence, which engages with people and can result in the fact that they might be living in different worlds even if they live in the same neighborhood. Intercultural dialogue thus appears a sine qua non of contemporary society enroute to a transcultural future, where the sheer preaching of multiculturalism may echo the evolution of hybridity, new ritualistic practices, and greater tolerance. Ritualistic practices could be social or religious, the blending of practices, for instance in food, clothing and lifestyle have always been the markers for an evolving culture. Moreover, south Asia has been a fecund space for thriving of hybrid cultures with the Indian ocean being the fluid medium for navigation of languages and rituals. The south Asian diasporic author, Michael Ondaatje has enriched the aesthetics of literature by enmeshing his narratives with many cultural instances from countries like Sri Lanka and Canada. This paper has attempted to address language and ritualistic ceremonies (religious and social) as transcultural motifs in south Asian novel Anil’s Ghost.

Identity Crisis of Jimmy Porter … Look Back in Anger
By: Twishampati De
Page No : 31-41
Abstract
Post war Literature comprises many British writers. Among them, John Osborne is expert in portraying the identity crisis of Jimmy Porter in his realistic play Look Back in Anger (1956). According to Modern Dictionary, identity crisis is a personal psychological conflict particularly in adolescence implying confusion about one’s social rule and often a sense of loss of continuity to one’s personality. This identity crisis is analyzed with general perspectives of psychoanalysis by Erikson to discover the enigmas found in one’s personality. Jimmy Porter, the protagonist of faces the identity crisis in the play. In each and every part of this play, we consider him as an angry young man whose anger is the outcome of his frustration and identity crisis. Identity crisis denotes a feeling of unhappiness and confusion. Jimmy is dissatisfied with his life and society. The story of the play expresses his anger against people and things in his ambiance. At the initial part of the play, we find three characters- Jimmy, Alison, wife of Jimmy and Cliff, bosom friend of Jimmy. Jimmy and Cliff come from a working class family while Alison comes from an upper middle class family. The difference of social status between Jimmy and Alison is the real cause of Jimmy’s dissatisfaction. His rude attitude portrays him as a rebel of society. His character depicts his outrages and estrangement for the upper class of society. All over the play, we find him fighting against the sense of estrangement and identity crisis.

Identity Crisis of Jimmy Porter … Look Back in Anger
By: Suruchi Upadhyay
Page No : 42-46
Abstract
The prerogative term ‘home’, bounded in leaps and layers, where reality is laid inside close inlet of one’s mind. As a human being, we all dream and imagine of creating a perfect and ideal home, but to what extent we get it varies. As home is never created by one but by all in totality. In the present world, the ideology of home has changed. it’s no more a cosy solace to rest, love and of belongingness. Apparently, silent gaps do exist at home which makes one choked and suffocated. The present paper is based on the poem, “Listening to Abida Parween on Loop, I Understand Why I miss Home and Why it must be so”, by Tishani Doshi. It focuses on an ingrained search to liberate one from clutches of artificial bonds of home, to create and feel new concept of home which is still to be reinvented, relocated, and remade in terms of contemporaneity.

Humanist Vision in Untouchable: A Three Act Play with an Epilogue
By: Basavaraj Naikar
Page No : 1-13
Abstract
Dr. K. Venkatareddy has dramatized Dr. Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable just as Santha Ram Rau had dramatized E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India long back. In this dramatic version, Dr. K. Venkatareddy has added an epilogue to the original novel a la Bernard Shaw in St. Joan thereby updating Dr. Anand’s humanist vision of life and by complementing Gandhism with Ambedkarism. Dr. Anand had problematized the issue of untouchability by suggesting three options for Bakha like conversion to Christianity, education and the use of flush-system. Bakha was left confused by these difficult options. But Venkatareddy shows in his Epilogue how Bakha makes use of the privilege of reservation, passes his B.A. Exam externally and the Competitive Exam and becomes a Social Welfare Officer to fulfill the dreams of all the downtrodden people.

A Critical Study of F. R. Scott’s The Dance is One in The Light of The Aucitya Siddhanta

Abstract
Right from Bharata, the Indian Sanskrit acaryas considered aucitya as an important phenomenon for a good poetry. But they dealt with aucitya in general sense. However, in the eleventh centrury, Acarya Ksemendra used this term in its technical sense. He, who was inspired by Anandavardhana and his literary teacher, Abhinavagupta, composed a full length treatise, named Aucitya-vicara-carca, to elucidate and expand the concept of aucitya, evidently elevating it to the status of a full-fledged doctrine of poetry. In his opinion, the life of poetry is neither rasa nor dhavni nor any other factor but aucitya. He defines it as “Auciatyam rasasidhasya sthiram kavyasya javitam" which means that ‘propriety is the abiding life of poetry and that is endowed with rasa or sentiment’. The present study is an analysis of Scott’s The Dance is One in the light of Sanskrit poetics with special reference to the aucitya-siddhanta as propounded by Acarya Ksemendra. The present attempt has affirmed that Scott’s The Dance is One bears the striking, graceful qualities, alluring charm and elegance of expression caused by bhasaucitya or propriety of language, gunalamkara-rasaucitya or propriety of excellence, poetic figure and sentiment, vyakaranaucitya or propriety of grammar, sanskriti-aucitya or propriety of culture and kavya-pratibhaucitya or propriety of creative genius.
The secret of the appeal of Scott’s The Dance is One lies in the fact that it is based on the fundamental qualities of human life and human nature. It aims not only at instructing but delighting and transporting too. Moreover, it comes from the heart of the poet and goes deep down into the heart of the reader. Keeping this account of Scott’s The Dance is One, it can be said that it has unlimited expanse, extraordinary power and velocity, unprecedented majesty and universal appeal. It bears all the possible proprieties of the aucitya-siddhanta of Acarya Ksemendra.

A Comparative Analysis of Verb Phrase Structures in English and Hindi
By: Bhawesh Kumar Bhargav
Page No : 101-105
Abstract
The present paper aims at critically examining the verb phrase (VP) structure in English and Hindi, the two languages commonly used by an educated Indian, particularly in the Hindi speaking belt of India. Gone are the days of traditional grammars which study sentences in terms of subject and predicate or consisting of a principal clause and subordinate clauses - subordinate noun clauses, subordinate adjective clauses and subordinate adverb clauses. Traditional Grammar by F.T. Wood, Thomson and Martinate, J.C. Nesfield and many others discuss the structure of English language in a very restricted and limited manner and fail to answer many significant questions.
That was the period when language studies came under philology. With the term linguistics getting popular in the first half of the 20th century, the whole approach to language studies underwent dramatic change. The theory of transformational generative (TG) grammar, as well as the application of this theory to a specific language which started in 1940’s and led the way for serious discussions in linguistic literature.
It has now generally been accepted that Noam Chomsky’s Syntactic Structures (1957), introduced a serious rethinking and an evaluation of the then current general linguistic theories. And later, when Robert Lees’ The Grammar of English Nominalisation (1960) appeared, it demonstrated in detail, the power of transformational theory for the description of a particular language. In recent times, a large number of western and non-western languages have been analysed following this theoretical frame-work. As a result, extremely valuable insights have been gained into the human language behaviour in general and more specifically into the workings of particular languages. This also led to analyse languages in a scientifically oriented linguistic manner. More and more contrastive and comparative studies of English were conducted in relation to other languages and dialects. Such syntactic studies are not only confined to theoretical linguistics or syntax; they become more significant, meaningful, and useful in the area of Applied Linguistics as well.

Social Issues Portrayed in the Plays of G. B. Shaw
By: Sushil Kumar Mishra
Page No : 59-63
Abstract
George Bernard Shaw is regarded as the greatest English dramatist of the modern age. His contribution to British theatre is considered second only to that of William Shakespeare. By rejecting outmoded theatrical conventions and championing realism and social commentary in his work. Shaw succeeded in revolutionizing British drama. He has been credited with creating “the theatre of ideas” in which his plays explore such issues as sexism, sexual equality, socioeconomic divisions, and the effects of poverty, philosophical and religious theories. He was awarded with Nobel Prize for literature in 1925 for writing his masterpiece Saint Joan. He continued to be a prolific playwright, an essayist, a social and political commentator and socialist activist. Shaw’s major dramatic works are infused with his social, economic and political concerns, particularly his criticism of the inequalities and injustices of late Victorian capitalism. He is also credited with creating the serious farce, a dramatic genre that inverts melodramatic conventions and utilizes comedy to promote serious views on public policy, social institutions and morality.

Exploration of Humanistic Insight in the Poetry of Jayanta Mahapatra
By: Mrinal Kanti Das
Page No : 57-63
Abstract
Literature is packed with the instances of outstanding humanistic insights. Whether Indian writing in English or other types, the arrival of post-structuralism and postmodern era, right from the late 1960s and 1970s of the last century to these days of early twenty-first century, are only numerous factors of humanism. These humanism and human concerns can be explored much in Jayanta Mahapatra’s poetry. Like a true humanist, he tries to review the truth by placing himself in the midst of the ruins of the temples, traditions, rites, rituals, superstitions, beliefs and the other side of modern life and recording his responses to it. His poetry reads like a story submerged with a never-ending concern and sympathy for humanity. He takes people into so much assurance that he never doubts their aptitude to convert them from their inexorable humanity.

The ‘Holy Constitution’, Corruption and Liberation in R. K. Singh’s Tainted with Prayers
By: Queen Sarkar
Page No : 74-78
Abstract
Tainted with Prayers, by eminent Indian Poet R. K. Singh, embodies the voices of dissent against the stringent subjugation and atrocities inflicted by the political authorities. From taking up the issues of territoriality to marginality, unsparing male ego to the throes of violence and insecurity, Singh’s poems speak for the disenfranchised. The collection captures everything from personal experiences to global trauma. Across the expanse of his poetry, R.K. Singh combines the seriousness of issues with a degree of playfulness to acknowledge the dilemmas of the armored self. The poems in this collection invite us to a space of interactive encounter with the self, disclosing the disquieting narratives created by us. Considering the fecundity of his poetic oeuvre, the review essay is an attempt to focus on the political, cultural, stylistic, and aesthetic nuances of Singh’s latest collection of poetry titled Tainted with Prayers.

Protest and Reaction – the Pathological Remedies in the Plays of Osborne
By: Twishampati De
Page No : 87-92
Abstract
John Osborne’s plays gained popularity among the audience because his plays aim to find out the concern of the playwright over the frustration of the society through analysing the Social and Personal aspects. His heroes serve as a role-model to depict the lied frustration, especially, in the youngsters at that time. The issues of his heroes have been shifted from social to personal or present both these elements. The protagonists of his plays are presented as angry young men who become the victims of their own disillusionment and despair. His autobiographical experiences serve as a personal protest. On the other hand, the course of the plays depicts a transformation of social into personal. Social protest also figures in J.B. Priestley’s article, “What is Wrong in Britain Today”. He writes: “We know vaguely that we are no longer top dogs in the world, but apart from that we don’t know what kind of dogs we are. We are in danger of turning into a faceless nation” (5). In fact, Osborne’s plays are reactions in the form of protest against social chaos. They protest but what they finally get is frustration. Still they do not rest, they protest because they know that there lies the solution to maladies.

Deconstructive Reading of Alexander Raju’s Poetic Work “The Hopes and Fears”
By: Alehegn Bitew Melesse
Page No : 12-25
Abstract
This paper tries to examine Alexander Raju’s “Hopes and Fears” (2003) from a deconstructive critical perspective. The study tries to come, as close as it can, to the text in order to deconstruct it and reaches at a new reading of the poem by applying the principles of the theory of Deconstruction. “A New Critical reading of the text” as Tyson declares “is often a useful first step in deconstructing a literary work because such readings can almost always be found to rest on a binary opposition in which one member of the pair is privileged over the other” (260). So, firstly the poem is analyzed from new critical point of view, and then it is analyzed using deconstructive principle. A deconstructive critic looks for meanings in the text that conflict with its main theme, focusing on self-contradictions of which the text seems unaware. The paper begins by discussing the concepts of deconstruction as a modern critical theory. It reveals to the reader an overview of deconstruction as a theory of reading texts. Moreover, it proceeds to examine how deconstruction can illuminate the above-mentioned poem by analyzing its verbal contradictions in terms of meaning and structure. Under the scrutiny of deconstruction, these characteristics ultimately uncover the instability of literary language and meaning. This deconstructive reading of the text will allow the reader to gain a better understanding not only of the poem, but also of deconstruction as a literary theory.

Echoes of Julius Caesar in Constitutions and Governments
By: Jai Singh
Page No : 41-48
Abstract
Julius Caesar (1599) is a political play that analyzes republican form of governance and reveals how a strong head of the state who seems to promise some dignity to the lower classes so that he can retain power over republic indulges in a power tussle with a strong group of upper class senators who hold power and have a dislike for lower classes. Shakespeare deals with the political apparatus of the time and highlights the pitfalls of both the monarchy and republic. Therefore, neither Caesar, nor Brutus is a hero or villain rather it is the common masses, who are everything: antagonists, protagonists and victims.

Abstract
Vihang Naik’s poems embrace themes like religious, social, cultural, political, economic and personal history. “Indian Summer” deals with nature in summer. Poet’s love for environment is apparent in “Summer Hill Devdars”. An earthquake can significantly change the face of the Earth, its geographical features become manifest in his poem “Gujarat”. Verandah and Banyan have been used as suggestive symbols. His poetic style is laconic marked by linguistic deviations, mainly graphological deviations. He is an environment friendly and geographically bound poet. His love for nature and life at its simplest form is well expressed in his poems. His words are simple like the simplified life he portrays in sync with nature.

Modernism in Yeats’ Poetry
By: Sushil Kumar Mishra
Page No : 80-84
Abstract
William Butler Yeats has been regarded as one of the extraordinary modern poets. He inspired and influenced his contemporaries as well as successors, such as T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and W.B. Auden. Yeats started his long literary career as a romantic poet and gradually evolved into a modernist poet. There are three common themes, love, Irish Nationalism, and mysticism, in Yeats’ poetry, but modernism is the overriding theme. As a typical modern poet, he laments for the great devastation and destruction of the 1st World War and regrets for post-war modern world which is in disorder and chaotic situation. Yeats is anti-rationalist in his attitude which is expressed through his passion for occultism or mysticism. He is a renowned poet in modern times for his sense of morality and humanity. When W.B. Yeats is compared to his contemporary poet T. S. Eliot, Yeats is considered as the seed of modernism whereas T.S. Eliot is the tree of that seed. Eliot and Yeats have certain things in common. Both are intensely aware of man in history and of the soul in eternity.
Yeats is a modern Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He is a pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments. In his later years, he served as an Irish Senator for two terms. Yeats is a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival.

Home Nowhere: Plight of the Displaced in Amitav Ghosh’s The Circle of Reason
By: Samshad N. Sheikh , Dilip K. Jena
Page No : 17-22
Abstract
‘Home’ occupies a pivotal place in every individual’s life as it provides stability, security, comfort, and harmony along with the sense of orientation. Consequently, everyone craves for his/her own home. Their longing for a better home makes them displace from their native place and they become a part of diaspora. But quite contradictory, when they land on the alien shore, they find it difficult to assimilate the new socio-economic and political conditions. Gradually, their illusions about better habitat prove to be deceptive. Time and again, they encounter precarious conditions. They fail to reconstruct a home of their dream in the alien locale. Amitav Ghosh has realistically portrayed the plight of the displaced people in his debut novel, The Circle of Reason. The present paper tries to bring to the fore the pathetic condition of the diasporic people, who live on the margin: truly, they belong to nowhere.
