The Theme of Gender Violence in Manjula Padmanabhan's Play Lights Out
No full textMany Indian women writers have contributed to the development of Indian writing in English and taken it to the respectable position. Manjula Padmanabhan is one of them. She was born in Delhi in 1953. She has spent early years of her life in Europe and Southeast Asia. Later, she returned to India. She is a playwright, journalist, comic strip artist and children's book author. In Indian writing in English, Manjula Padmanabhan emerges as a sensitive writer who aims at the presenting the realistic problems instead of portraying the romantic, fanciful notions. She is one of the Indian woman playwright who attempted to bring a positive behavioural change in women towards themselves as well as society toward women. Her plays are issues oriented and deal with social reality. Thus, her style and content are realistic in a believable manner. Her plays are majorly women centric and thus present their perspective and narrative. Thus, this paper is a study of Manjula Padmanabhan's Lights Out (2000) in the light of gender insensitivity and violence

Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Activity Studies of Rhenium Carbonyl Complexes Containing Chiral Diphosphines of the Josiphos and Walphos Families

The phosphine-substituted clusters were tested for hydrogenation of tiglic acid [trans-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid]. The catalytic reactions gave reasonable conversion rates (15-88 %) under relatively mild conditions but relatively moderate enantiomeric excesses (8-57 %) were observed. The crystal structures of [ReH(CO)(3)(1a)], [Re-2 (CO)(9)(2a)], [{Re-2(CO)(9)}(2)(2b)] and [Re-2(mu-H)(2)(CO)(6)(2b)] are presented
The Marxist analysis of Manjula Padmanabhan’s “Lights Out”
Get PDFThe societal rules have been largely shaped by the male-dominated legislators and forces where there is a limited right to exist for a woman. The woman though married or unmarried or a prostitute the way the society looks at her is not changing though we are globalized. Indian women, in some ways, have also made some strides. Millions of women have joined the workforce. Leaders like the Prathibha Singh Patel, Sushma Swaraj, Anandiben are role models who show that women can rise to great heights. But one of the greatest tragedies in our country is that women are on their own when it comes to their safety. According to many studies, it’s understood that most of the rape cases of rape are never reported because of the stigma surrounding gang rape. Considering this wide scenario, this article touches on Indian women’s vulnerability with a Marxist approach. I have applied the Marxist approach to analyse literary text, Lights Out by Manjula Padmanabhan in Indian English Theatre. In her work, the author proposes the urgent need to address women’s subordinated position as they are subjected to different forms of discrimination. In this article, I have focused on difference issues such as gender discrimination, injustice, and fear of the law, police and judicial apathy. I conclude by suggesting recommendations for the improvement of women’s situation in India

Stapleton, Robert Gramling Abstract: Background: Little is known about the content of communication in palliative care telehealth conversations, particularly in a population of patients receiving dialysis. Understanding the content and process of these conversations through qualitative analyses may lead to insights about how palliative care improves quality of life. Methods: We conducted a qualitative analysis of video-recordings obtained during a pilot palliative teleconsultation program. Patient participants were recruited from five dialysis facilities affiliated with an academic medical center. The target population included patients with kidney failure receiving in-center dialysis. Palliative care clinicians conducted teleconsultation using a large wall-mounted screen with a camera mounted on a pole and positioned mid-screen in the line of sight to facilitate direct eye contact. Patients used an iPad that was attached to an IV pole positioned next to the dialysis chair. Conversations were coded for using a pre-existing framework of themes and content from the Serious Illness Conversation Guide and revised Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-renal. Results: We recruited 39 patients to undergo a telepalliative care consultation while receiving dialysis, 34 of whom ultimately completed the teleconsultation. Four specialty palliative care clinicians (three physicians and one nurse practitioner) conducted 35 visits with 34 patients. Median (IQR) duration of conversation was 42 (28, 57) minutes. Most frequently discussed content included sources of strength (91%), critical abilities (88%), illness understanding (85%), fears and worries (85%), what family knows (85%), fatigue (77%) and pain (65%). Process features such as summarizing statements (85%) and making a recommendation (82%) were common, while connectional silence (56%), and emotion expression (21%) occurred less often. Conclusions: Unscripted palliative care conversations in outpatient dialysis units via telemedicine exhibited many domains recommended by the Serious Illness Conversation Guide, with less frequent discussion of symptoms. Emotion expression was uncommon for these conversations that occurred in an open setting. This study was funded by the National Palliative Care Research Center
