Breaking The Chains: Baby Kamble\u27s Struggle Against Poverty, Untouchability, And Dalit Patriarchy In The Prisons We Broke
No full textDalit Literature has emerged as a prominent genre within the literary landscape of India. The hard reality faced by the marginalised and "voiceless" Dalit population is examined and internalised. The objective of this study is to provide a contextual analysis of the physical and psychological violence experienced by Dalit women, examining its occurrence in both public and private domains. Baby Kamble is recognised as a prominent figure among Dalit writers, and her autobiography titled "The Prison We Broke" gained significant recognition and acceptance within academic circles. This paper additionally addresses the concerns surrounding the marginalisation experienced by Dalit women, as exemplified in the autobiography of Baby Kamble. The work produced by the individual in question is a manifestation of the concept of double consciousness, which explores the manner in which Dalit women have been subjected to mistreatment and the roles they have assumed within their respective social contexts. The focus of Baby Kamble\u27s engagement lies within the historical context of Dalit persecution. The author does not romanticise the existence of the Dalit community; instead, she explicitly expresses her objective to subject the circumstances of her community to meticulous examination. Her aim is to illustrate how the dominance of the Brahmanical system had reduced the Mahars to a state of servitude, compelling them to endure living conditions that were even more deplorable than those of animals. This essay undertakes an analysis of the author\u27s portrayal of the visual documentation depicting the lives of the Mahars throughout the course of the last five decades in Western Maharashtra

Exploring the Impact and Lessons of the 2019 Kavalappara Landslide Disasters in Kerala, India: A Field Observation Analysis
No full textKerala, a state in India, stretches approximately 560 kilometres in a northwest-to-south-southeast direction and ranges in width from 35 to 120 kilometres in the east-west dimension. This area is known for its frequent occurrences of landslides. It features a distinctive physiographic and geomorphic landscape characterized by the prominent Western Ghats Mountains running in an NNW-SSE orientation in the east. These mountains are surrounded by a series of parallel landforms, including composite slopes, marginally raised lateritic uplands, and coastal plains that gradually descend in elevation towards the west, creating a terraced topography. Kerala receives substantial annual rainfall during the southwest monsoon season, which, due to its unique geomorphic setup, can lead to catastrophic landslides. As a result, this study extensively examined the region\u27s geomorphology, primarily influenced by tectonic forces, to gain insights into its contribution to landslide occurrences. The Western Ghats in India has long been a focal point for landslide research. On August 8, 2019, Kavalappara witnessed one of the most devastating landslides in the state\u27s history in terms of casualties. Beyond the tragic loss of 59 lives, it wrought unparalleled havoc upon the local community\u27s assets and means of sustenance. This colossal landslide struck around 7:30 pm in Kavalappara, engulfing 100 acres of land. The primary catalyst for this immense disaster was the erratic and unprecedented deluge of monsoon rainfall. Our discerning observations underscore the role of human activities in exacerbating slope instability. Factors such as the transformation of natural vegetation into plantations, the hasty cutting of slopes, the installation of soak pits diverting water into the slopes, the construction of residences atop natural drainage channels, and suboptimal drainage practices, including the unregulated release of water from homes onto the slopes, have all been influential in heightening slope vulnerability
“Teaching Competency Of Secondary School Teachers In Relation To Their Teaching Aptitude.”
No full textTeaching is a noble and challenging profession, and teachers with sound professional teaching attitudes can fulfil the heavy responsibilities of nation-building as they are adequately prepared for their tasks. The teachers who help their students in all possible ways and are fully dedicated to their profession have a good attitude towards teaching. They should have an interest in this noble profession and have a favorable attitude towards teaching. The present study attempts to investigate the teaching competency of secondary school teachers in relation to their teaching aptitude. Utilizing a quantitative, descriptive survey design, 200 secondary school teachers from Yamuna Nagar, Haryana, were randomly selected. Data were gathered using the "Teaching Competency Assessment Battery" by Dr. Jasmine Kamala Sunira J. (2012) and a Teaching Aptitude Scale, with statistical analysis involving mean, standard deviation, t-test, and correlation. The findings reveal urban teachers exhibit higher competency than rural teachers, and government school teachers outperform private school teachers. Additionally, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.73) was found between teaching competency and teaching aptitude, indicating that greater teaching aptitude is associated with higher teaching competency. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve rural teachers\u27 competency by addressing resource and training disparities, emphasizing continuous professional development to enhance teaching effectiveness, and recommending further research and efforts in teacher training to improve teaching aptitude and competency
