    ANAPHORA AS A DEVICE IN SELECT POEMS OF CHAOBA PHURITSHABAM
    (Bodhi International Journal of Research in Humanities, 2018-04) A, Dhanalakshmi; A, Elakkiya
    North-east India has been a victim of colonial invasion as well as of the ethnic conflicts because of its geographical isolation. The region consists of the seven sister states which were the princely states before they merged with India. The North-east region has been facing a lot of struggles since when it merged with the Indian sub-continent in 15th October,1949 which lead to the Second World War. Hence, literature from the North-east India largely deals with violence. It is the predominant theme of all the literary works of art produced from the region. There is a clash among the diverse ethnic groups claiming for autonomy. The secessionist movements and the armed insurgencies are playing a major role in the conflict and violence. The native people have been deprived of their fundamental rights, needs and they are forced live under domination and suppression. Women are doubly marginalised by the male colonizers and also by their own native men. The people express their plight, sufferings and emotions through literature. This paper aims to bring about the postcolonial aspects and its effects using a literary device, Anaphora, in select poems of the Manipuri woman poet, Chaoba Phuritshabam from Tattooed with Taboos An Anthology of Poetry by Three Women from Northeast India.

    (International Journal of English Language, Literature and Translational Studies, 2018-08-02) A, Dhanalakshmi; K, Kaviya
    The earliest tales told to children are often fairy tales aimed at delivering morals. Gender positivity is very important in such tales, as they seal the idea on genders and gender- related roles in their minds. While most of the stories have a damsel in distress saved by the knight in the shining armour, many writers reached out to more realistic and gender positive ways of storytelling. This paper is aimed at analysing the fairy tale The Paper Bag Princess written by Robert N. Munsch as a gender-positive and gender redefining tale.
