National Movements And The Social Evils That Haunting Society Through Literature
Get PDFLiterature has proven to be one of the best ways to understand and it was difficult because of some social issues or social problems that affects certain groups of people in a negative way that shapes the world. Some of the few social issues or social evils that provokes the literature to grow further and that primarily wrestles with gender, ethnicity, human rights, casteism, untouchability, colonialism, imperialism and religious orthodoxy. Writers started to express their thoughts with motif as evils begins from the days of Adam and Eve and still people were forced in social evils and issues the force might be political, emotional, social or psychological or economical. The main concern are classes, clashes, oppression and segregation. So, literature is basically the product of social forces and writer cannot help projecting their experience into his writing. The consequences of this weak and wrong mindset are that it develops a slavery mentality, fear of even calculated risk, power and authority, responsibility and accountability also earning through bribes and wrong means loses fighting spirit and when it forced to face its problems. The root of all social evils are wrong doings that can be traced to excessive attachment to material wealth. Thus, literature indeed reflects the society and its good values and its ills and its corrective function literature becomes the mirror to society that realizes its mistake. Literature often reflects social issues because it serves as a mirror to the society, allowing readers to gain insights into human condition and the world around them. By addressing all such social evils and issues through literature provoke critical thinking and that raise awareness and encourage empathy and understanding. So, to prevent all such evils literature become tool and that influenced in education and education becomes a resource to eliminate social evils and it urges us to think and make sense of the world by differentiating between right and wrong and good and bad
Biostatistical Analysis Of Morphological Traits Of Schizothorax Richardsonii From Snow-Fed Rivers Of Kumaun Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India
Get PDFMorphometric characteristics of fishes were observable characteristics that are set of largely statistical methods used for examining variations in body size and shape. The objectives taken for the current study were to examine the complete morpho-biology of Schizothorax richardsonii from three major snow-fed rivers of the Kumaun Himalaya in Uttarakhand, India, and to establish the statistical relationship among various morphological characteristics related to body size and fin shape. In this study 120 fish specimen including 66 male and 54 female were studied for one year. Twelve distinct morphometric and five meristic counts had been examined in percentage of their body length and head length respectively. For biostatistics, the data was analysed by using various statistical methods including summary statistics, correlation, PCA analysis, Barlett’s test of sphericity, and multiple linear regression. Fish samples studied were found within the range of 17.7 – 42.2 cm in TL and BW from 60 - 780 gm. Morphological characteristics had high co-efficient of correlation (r ≥ 0.90), indicating the characters\u27 strong relationship, with the highest correlation (r = 0.99). Additionally, the coefficient of determination (R2) value was found within the range of 0.62 to 0.99, which shows a significant relationship between the morphometric characteristics. PCA analysis revealed the major significance found among parameters, together with regression analysis. This study will provide a baseline data and a valuable insight into the population dynamics, and may contribute to the development of more effective strategies for the management
