Re-framing Stereotypes of Gender Equality in India: A Feminist Linguistic Perspective with Special Reference to the HANDBOOK ON COMBATING GENDER STEREOTYPES
Get PDFLanguage is the means of communication from the ages and in India we have so many languages. In India we still think English is for those for who are educated and well cultured in nature but this a stereotype that is associated with us. The other stereotype in our society is that English Language is considered better in terms of its usage of stating higher aspects intellectuality and we somewhere do not feel or know the correct usage of the words and its denoted meanings. Thus, it may lead us to confusion and sometimes it can create more stereotypes like some typical words based on Castes, Genders, and Ethnicity etc. In this age we are consuming so much of international content and
English language that the people pick up slangs and phrases form the language and start using it.

Theyyam as a Ritualistic Catharsis: Cultural Trauma, Collective Memory, and Socio-Religious Subversion in Kerala
Get PDFThis paper examines the folk ritual of Theyyam in Kerala as a site of collective trauma, cultural memory, and social protest. Drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives—including anthropology, psychoanalysis, trauma studies, and postcolonial theory—this study argues that Theyyam functions as a cathartic and therapeutic medium for historically marginalized lower-caste communities in Kerala. The performance of Theyyam not only reenacts past injustices but also allows for a temporary inversion of social hierarchy, thereby enabling the oppressed to embody divine agency. This study explores how the ritual serves as a socio-political critique, a site of communal healing, and a mechanism for intergenerational trauma processing. By integrating insights from Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory, Johan Galtung’s structural violence framework, and Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of social capital, this paper situates Theyyam within the broader discourse of cultural resistance and resilience

The article delves into the role of love, the critique of materialism, and the inter-connectedness of all things, illustrating how Coelho’s narrative transcends cultural and spiritual boundaries to inspire readers on their own transformative journeys
Voicing the Nation in a Foreign Tongue: Neo-Poetic Trends in Contemporary Bangladeshi English Poetry
Get PDFThis study dives into the fresh trends of modern Bangladeshi poets who write in English—think Razia Khan, Kaiser Haq, Shamsad Mortuza, and Rumana Siddiqui. These writers aren’t just using English for the sake of it; they’re flipping the script, turning the old colonizer’s language into a tool for telling their own stories, fighting back, and connecting with the world. Each poet brings their own flavor. Razia Khan’s poetry starts out heavy, dealing with the horrors of the Liberation War, but then she shifts gears, getting personal and digging deep into motherhood and what it means to be a woman. Kaiser Haq is the witty one—he mixes up personal and national stories, cracks jokes, and uses a casual, everyday tone to tackle big themes like identity and the messiness of postcolonial life. Shamsad Mortuza gets experimental, playing with form and references from everywhere to take on issues like dehumanization and the weirdness of digital culture. Rumana Siddiqui, meanwhile, shines a light on women’s struggles and strength, always looking at things through a feminist lens. What ties them all together? They’re all about resistance, identity, and calling out the social and political realities of Bangladesh today. Their poems are packed with irony, cultural mashups, and a real sense of what it means to be Bangladeshi in a global world. Even though English isn’t their mother tongue, they’ve made it their own—remixing it to fit their stories and experiences. This research shows that Bangladeshi poets writing in English aren’t just translating their thoughts; they’re transforming the language itself. Their work is a goldmine of cultural expression and political commentary, blending the personal and the collective, the traditional and the modern. By breaking down barriers and mixing influences, these poets are making sure the world hears the real Bangladeshi story, loud and clear
Exploring GeoHumanities: An Analysis of Amitav Ghosh’s The Living Mountain – A Fable for Our Time
Get PDFGeohumanities is an emerging field focusing on the multifaceted intersections between human experience, society, space, and culture. Literature often finds resonance with specific geographic landscapes. Amitav Ghosh is such a writer whose literary oeuvre has effectively shown the role of fiction and non–fiction by portraying the disastrous change of the climate and its consequences on every being in the chain of life. His fictional works, like The Hungry Tide (2004) and The Gun Island (2019), showcase how climate change and its disastrous effects have caused the dislocation of humans, animals, and plant life. This paper focuses on the impact of human interactions with nature by analysing Amitav Ghosh’s The Living Mountain – A Fable for Our Time (2022). The present paper is an attempt to analyse these two works in the light of GeoHumanism by understanding the dislocation of nature and the complex dynamics of space, culture, and human existence
Presentations of White Supremacy and Racial Discrimination in The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing
Get PDFThis study critically examines the presentations of white supremacy and racial discrimination in Doris Lessing’s The Grass is Singing, focusing on the psychological, social, and economic impacts of colonialism in Southern Rhodesia. Through a detailed analysis of the characters, particularly Mary Turner and Moses, the study explores how Lessing critiques the colonial system by illustrating the destructive effects of racial hierarchies on both the colonizers and the colonized. The study employs post- colonial theory to unpack the themes of exploitation, dehumanization, and moral decay that permeate the novel. It also highlights common concerns about colonialism’s lasting legacy. The findings reveal that Lessing’s use of symbolism, narrative structure, and character development provides a powerful critique of the colonial order, with themes that remain relevant in contemporary discussions on race and systemic racism. The study contributes to the broader field of post-colonial literary criticism by offering new insights into the psychological and social dimensions of colonial oppressio
Exploring the Feminist Psyche in Contemporary Indian English Novels: A Postmodernist Perspective
Get PDFThis paper explores the intersection of gender and identity in contemporary Indian literature. It draws on works that examine feminist themes, postmodernism, and intertextuality. The paper emphasizes the significant contributions made by Indian women writers to the global literary canon, while also engaging with various feminist perspectives, such as intersectionality and cultural feminism. The analysis addresses methodological challenges in feminist criticism and the ethical considerations inherent in such critiques, shedding light on how Indian English novels have responded to and transformed patriarchal norms. Using contemporary feminist thought for analysis, the discussion underscores the evolving nature of the feminist psyche in Indian fiction, positioning it within broader discourses of globalization and power dynamics.

These texts, among others, provide the foundation for the exploration of how Indian literature navigates gender, power, and identity in a postmodern and feminist context
Alienation and Social Milieu in the Novel Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Get PDFThis paper employs a psychological approach to analyze Mrs. Dalloway, focusing on the intricate inner lives of individuals as they interact with their social environment. Virginia Woolf, the author, is renowned for her modernist style and deep psychological insight into human consciousness. Mrs. Dalloway offers a rich overview of post-war British society through the perspectives of its characters, exploring their mental and emotional struggles. The novel reveals the tension between personal identity and external expectations, often resulting in psychological alienation, where individuals feel fragmented and disconnected from themselves and society. Additionally, the narrative examines how characters navigate the complex social milieu, balancing social roles and internal desires. These themes highlight the profound impact of social norms on mental well-being and individual expression. The rich narrative provides valuable insights into the complexity of human psychology in relation to cultural and social forces. Mrs. Dalloway offers multiple points of discussion that extend beyond simple social critique, inviting a nuanced psychological interpretation. This study aims to uncover these layers, demonstrating how the novel continues to resonate in conversations about identity, mental health, and the pressures of conformity
The Crisis of Border in The Bell Jar: A Study of Psychological and Social Thresholds
Get PDFThis paper explores the theme of the border crisis in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, examining how the protagonist, Esther Greenwood, experiences psychological fragmentation and social dislocation. Using Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection and the concept of liminality, the paper investigates how Esther’s identity is constantly destabilized by boundaries—between sanity and insanity, self and other, body and society. These border crises illustrate the entrapment and rebellion of a female consciousness within a patriarchal framework, exposing the fissures in both personal identity and cultural expectations
