    WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION IN POLITY: A NEED TO ENHANCE THEIR PARTICIPATION
    (Language in India, 2010) Jayamala M; Sheela J
    There 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.

    DIASPORAN SOULS IN THE NAMESAKE BY JHUMPA LAHIRI
    (Language in India, 2017-03-03) Geethanjali N; Sheela J
    The 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
