Constructing Outraged Communities and State Responses: The Taslima Nasreen Saga in 1994 and 2007
No full textTaslima Nasreen, the exiled Bangladeshi author, was forced to leave India, her adopted homeland, in March 2008 after being under ‘security protection’ for months following street agitation against her writings in Kolkata. The events between August 2007, when she was physically attacked in Hyderabad, and March 2008, when she left the country, were reminiscent of those in Bangladesh in 1994 which led to her departure from there. In both instances, the states’ responses were her forced removal from the country to placate the agitators. In this paper I analyze the events on the ground and the responses of the states. I argue that these events demonstrate how ‘outraged communities’ are constructed, and symbols are invented to mobilize the community. The role of state has received little attention in the extant discussions while I contend that states bear a significant responsibility in engendering the controversy
Physical and Spiritual Shades of Love in Taslima Nasreen’s Love Poems
No full textTaslima Nasreen is a Bangladeshi author whose name is always in the news. Sometimes it\u27s because she said something bold and honest about fanaticism, and other times it\u27s because she gave a voice to oppressed people who had never dared to say what they felt inside. Today, the world is moving forward in the area of technology. Art and writing are getting better and better as time goes on. Still, it\u27s sad to say that there is a corner where everything is dark, even though it looks like everything is fine from the outside. The author who has the courage to bring this darkness out into the open is Taslima Nasreen, who is not afraid of the oppressive powers. The poet in Taslima Nasreen can\u27t ignore how important it is to touch the body, which also needs to rest and feel safe. Love is the medicine that makes the body feel better. The kiss is a way to show love. When the poet has done everything from early morning until late in the evening, he or she is too tired. Love is what she needs. She is used to getting two kisses on the lips from her lover. She can\u27t get enough of love being shown through a kiss on her lips. She can\u27t picture being able to sleep or rest without a kiss from her lover

Morphometry of The Orbital Region in Dry Skull and CT images
No full textIntroduction: The bony orbit is significant not only for anatomists, but also for ophthalmologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and forensic experts who study the human face. The purpose of this study was to determine how the orbital index varies with race, regions, within the same race, and different times in evolution. The present study's objectives are to offer the normal reference orbital parameters for the NorthIndian population, as well as to determine the normal reference orbital parameters. Materials and Method: Materials and Method: The experiment was carried out on thirty-eight dried skulls of different ages, genders, and races. Manual vernier calipers were used to measure the length and breadth of the orbital plane. The orbital index was determined by using the formula Length /Breadth x 100 to the length/breadth ratio. To avoid interobserver and intraobserver error, the parameters were measured independently by two individuals using specified protocols. Result: To analyze all of the data collected, descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and range were computed and used to summarize the findings statistically. There were no significant differences in maximum orbital length and breadth between the right and left sides, however, there were differences in maximum orbital length on the right side (33.7 1.8 mm) and 33. 8 2.1 mm on the left side (37. 22 09 mm). On the right and left sides, the maximum orbital length and breadth were determined to be 33.7 1.8 mm and 33. 8 2.1 mm, respectively, while the maximum orbital breadth was found to be 37. 4 2. 1 mm and 37. 22. 09 mm, respectively. Conclusions: The orbital index was determined based on the length and breadth of the orbital plane. which will be useful in plastic surgery, Ophthalmology, maxillary surgery, and reconstructive cosmetic surgery of the face all benefit from the use of orbital morphometry as a baseline measurement. A thorough understanding of anatomy and its variations will aid surgeons in avoiding surgical complications throughout the procedure as well as forensic research
Non-genetic factors in the craniofacial region contribute to the incidence of non-syndromic CLEFS
No full textIn addition to genetic and environmental influences, clefts have a complex origin. Many research has studies tried out to determine the genetic basis of the aetiology of clefts and the effect of maternal folic acid intake on the incidence of clefts in children and adults. In addition to genetics, there has been little research done on the environmental factors that contribute to clefts. Non-genetic variables related to the development of nonsyndromic clefts are the subject of the current investigation. Mother's folic acid intake during pregnancy, family history, parental age, socioeconomic position (including alcoholism and smoking), and parent's occupational exposure are among the variables examined in the research. 200 participants from the South Indian population were included in the study, 100 of whom had nonsyndromic clefts and 200 who were healthy controls. In a detailed questionnaire administered via direct interview, the information was gathered, and the information was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9. The odds ratio (OR) for the independent variables was calculated using a logistic regression model, and the significance of the results was determined using a Chi-square test.The study group included 6 craniofacial clefts, 5 facial clefts and 64 cases of cleft lip and palate. Clefts occurred at a rate of 12 per cent in the craniofacial region and 26percent in the lip region. The case group (24.6%) had a lower maternal age than the control group (12%), with a p-value of 0.001. Paternal ages more significant than 40 years were detected in 8.0 per cent of cases and 0.5% of controls. However, parental medicine and smoking were shown to be insignificant in terms of pesticide exposure, whereas parental occupational exposure in terms of pesticide exposure was found to be significant.There should be no doubt about the importance of maternal folic acid and multivitamin consumption throughout the periconceptional stage for the prevention of mouth clefts. Clefts are more likely to occur in families where there is a history of clefts, and the risk is higher when clefts are present in the parents or siblings. Furthermore, maternal age greater than 35 years is revealed to be more significant than paternal age. The presence of consanguinity was associated with a fourfold increase in clefts. Apart from the family's financial position, the maternal diet is an important component since it is directly tied to folic acid and vitamin supplements
Female Critics of Islamism: Liberal or Secular Islam?
No full text The author distinguishes between two types of criticism of Islamism: ‘liberal Islam’ and ‘secular Islam’. The meaning and consequences of this difference in approach is analyzed with reference to the work of Chadortt Djavann, Irshad Manji, Mina Ahadi and Taslima Nasreen. The difference of approach is especially relevant in the way one looks at ‘interpretation’. This will be illustrated by analyzing a discussion between Tariq Ramadan and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. </jats:p

Role of Emotional Intelligence in Genders' Career Advancement
No full textThis study examined the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI)in genders’career advancement.Data was collected from male and female faculty members of The Islamia University of Bahawalpur and Bahudin Zakria University of Punjab in order to achieve the research goal. Six departments of social sciences and six departments of pure sciences were chosen for this purpose. Data was collected from 180 female and 120 male faculty members. The analysis was created using Daniel Goleman's EI concept to assess EI. The Self-Report Measure of EI (SRMEI) questionnaire was used to collect data. SPSS was used to analyze the data by deployingthe independent samples t- test. The outcomes of the study indicated a positive association between EI and genders’ career advancement. Furthermore, the outcomes indicated that male faculty members are more emotionally intelligent than female faculty members
