Item WORK STATUS OF WOMEN AND AGE AT MARRIAGE IN COIMBATORE CITY: A MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS(Tata Institute of Social Sciences, 1997-01) Sheela, J; Audinarayana, NDescribes a study which finds that the work status of women before marriage has a direct bearing on their age at marriage, and has a moderate influence through the time taken to initiate marriage after menarche. Education status of women has exhibited a greater role in influencing the age at marriage through the time taken to initiate marriage after menarche (indirect effect rather than its direct effect).Item INHERITANCE OF MARRIAGE AGE: THE CASE OF RAJASTHAN, INDIA(Hindustan Publishing Corpn, 2001) Sheela J; Audinarayana N; Krishnamoorthy SE desp ARLY and universal marriage is the characteristic of nuptiality pattern in India. Despite the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 and its amendment in 1978, pre-puberty and child marriages still continue to take place in India, particularly in Rajasthan state (Goyal, 1988). Singulate Mean Age at Marriage (SMAM) computed from the Census data for the years 1961, 1971, 1981 and 1991 shows that in Rajasthan the mean age at marriage has increased (Table 1). However, even by 1991 the mean age at marriage of females did not cross the minimum legal age at marriage of 18 years.Item DURATION OF SEARCH FOR A PROSPECTIVE MATE AND ITS DETERMINANTS IN TAMIL NADU(VHL Regional Portal Information and Knowledge for Health, 2003) Sheela J; Audinarayana NDuration of search for a prospective mate and its determinants in Tamil Nadu | IMSEAR loading Conteúdo principal 1 Busca 2 Rodapé 3 +A A -A Alto contraste Portal Regional da BVS Informação e Conhecimento para a Saúde português español english français Localizar descritor de assunto Busca Avançada EVID@Easy Pesquisar 1.Home 2.Pesquisa 3.Duration of search for a prospective mate and its determinants in Tamil Nadu Duration of search for a prospective mate and its determinants in Tamil NaduItem MATE SELECTION AND FEMALE AGE AT MARRIAGE: A MICRO LEVEL INVESTIGATION IN TAMIL NADU, INDIA(Journal of Comparative Family Studies, 2003) Sheela J; Audinarayana NThis paper aims to examine the process of mate selection in determining the age at marriage of 600 ever-married women drawn from rural (300) and urban (300) areas of Salem district, Tamil Nadu. Results based on the Multiple Classification Analysis show that both in rural and urban areas, time taken to initiate marriage process after menarche, caste background, age difference between bride and bridegroom and consultation of women for their marriage have played a greater role in determining their age at marriage in that order. Further, in urban areas, consanguinity has exhibited a highly significant effect on their age at marriage. While the role of payment of dowry has some effect on age at marriage of women both in rural and urban areas, the practice of horoscope matching has such an effect only in rural areas. Contrary to the expectation, first-born daughters enter into matrimony comparatively at higher ages than their later-bom counterparts only in rural areas. A weak support to residential propinquity theory of mate selection is also noticed.Item GANDHI’S IDEOLOGY ON THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN(Language in India, 2007-04-04) Jayamala, M; Sheela, J“Woman, I hold, is the personification of self sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what tremendous advantage she has over man” is the condition of women observed by Gandhi. According to Gandhi, both men and women are of equal rank, but they are not identical. They are a peerless pair, being supplementary to one another, each helping the other so that without the one the existence of the other cannot be conceived. Throughout the history of India, women in India have been placed at disadvantageous position vis-à-vis Indian men. Despite changes in political governance and acceptance of democracy as the basis of Indian polity, position of women in India has been at a constant decline in the status and living conditions. Women have been subjected to various societal gender biases in terms of stereotyped notions and prejudices about their capacity, aspiration and so on.Item TRENDS AND SPATIAL PATTERNS OF CRIME IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY OF A DISTRICT IN INDIA(Language In India, 2008-12-12) Jayamala MCrime is the violation of the rules and regulations enforced by the society from time to time for which definite punishment is prescribed by law. Members in every society are expected to act according to its established norms and laws. But when an individual finds it difficult or impossible to satisfy his wants and desires in a direct and socially accepted manner, he encounters the alternative of renouncing his motive or attempting to find a substitute satisfaction. When good solutions are not available, he engages himself in anti-social behaviour of criminal nature.Item WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION IN POLITY: A NEED TO ENHANCE THEIR PARTICIPATION(Language in India, 2010) Jayamala M; Sheela JThere is a general impression that development means just creation of infrastructure. As a result of this, development could not become need-based and relevant to social circumstances. Participation implies participation at all stages of the programme, viz., planning, formulation, implementation, decision-making, sharing the benefits of development, monitoring and evaluation. The development of human resources particularly women have been neglected/denied. Educational backwardness is the major reason why women lag behind men. Moreover, women in India experience unacceptable levels of violence in the family within the community, work place, public places and at the custodial institutions. It is the manifestation of the historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have lead to domination over and discrimination against women and the prevention of women's full advancementItem DIASPORAN SOULS IN THE NAMESAKE BY JHUMPA LAHIRI(Language in India, 2017-03-03) Geethanjali N; Sheela JThe term ‘diaspora’ is derived from the Greek word meaning to “scatter about.” Diaspora refers to the movement of the people from one country to another and the diasporans refer to the people undergoing the movement. The diasporans migrate to different countries across the globe in search of greener pastures. Wherever they go, they take with them a profound sense of home land (native land) with them. Either they have gone there for economic settlement or permanent settlement, they have their roots in their native land. They are highly patriotic towards their mother land. These diasporans are called as first generation immigrants. They have split souls and they try to etch a space for themselves. But on the other hand their children, called as second generation immigrants could not confront with reality and they refuse to accept their parents as their saviors in their diasporic sickness. Jhumpalahiri, a second generation immigrant acts as a true representative of displaced voices and dislocated identities. This paper focuses on the diasporan souls in Jhumpalahiri’s The Name Sake
