The purpose of this article is to analyze the agency of Dalit subaltern people and their resistance in Rabindranath Tagore’s Chandalika. The play has been mostly interpreted either as a play of religious conflict or a psychological drama. Such readings have however obliterated the most social concerns of the play like casteism and the agency of the Dalit people which make the play more as a social manifesto than merely stage performance and realm of aesthetics. This study looks at the issue of marginalized Dalit subaltern people focusing on how the true agency is denied to them and made hegemonic. The denial of agency to the subaltern people weakens their spirit of resistance and compels them to accept domination hegemonically. Maya, the mother character in the drama is hegemonized character in the play and gives consent to the caste system to function intimidatingly upon them. On the other hand, the performative gestures that are used consistently by Prakiti is an act of resisting the petrified and, static norms of the society. Thus, this paper focuses to explore the agency of subaltern people and throws light on the conception of resistance using the theoretical insights of Antonio Gramsci, Spivak and Michael Garnet.

Like Rabindra Nath Tagore and Shri Aurobindo Sarojini Naidu too was more than a poet. She was one of mother India’s most gifted children, readily sharing her burden of pain, fiercely articulating her agonies and hopes. The present paper “The Contemporary Scene and The Emergence of Sarojini Naidu”, provides an account of Sarojini’s social, political, and literary background, here love for India evident from her passionate involvement with the freedom struggle did, in no way, withhold her for being so enamored by the poetic muse. It is rather unfortunate that Sarojini Naidu has been criticized for writing about the colorful land of romance and mystery, the India of the common western imagination, with the essential reality-a of real experience, a real landscape, and the real people blurred into a mystified sentimentality.

Background: No specific treatment is available for severe early-onset IUGR. To best of my knowledge, very few studies have assessed the potential benefit of Sildenafil therapy targeted to improve perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by severe early-onset IUGR in Indian pregnant women.Methods: The present hospital based prospective study was carried out on one hundred ANC pregnant women with early and late fetal growth restriction and oligohydrominos at Pannadhai Mahila Chikatsalya, Rabindra Nath Tagore (RNT) Medical College, Udaipur, during Jan to Dec 2017. Sildenafil citrate 25 mg three times in a day was administered until delivery. Study subjects were subjected to fetal Doppler and ultrasound twice a week after the Sildenafil administration.Results: After sildenafil therapy, out of total 45 cases of IUGR alone, 39 cases (86.66 %) had improvement. Out of 35 cases of oligohydramnios alone, 28 cases (80 %) had improvement. Out of 20 cases having both IUGR and Oligohydramnios 16 had improvement (80 %) and only 4 cases did not show any improvement. Among gestation age 27-30 weeks group at the time of admission, there were total 10 cases out of which 5 (50 %) had early premature delivery (32-34 weeks), 3 (30 %) had late premature delivery (34-37 weeks) and 2 cases (2 %) had term delivery i.e. between 37-39 weeks after giving sildenafil treatment.Conclusions: The findings of the present study indicate that sildenafil citrate may offer a potential therapeutic strategy to improve outcomes in pregnant women facing foetal growth restriction and oligohydrominos.

The early part of the nineteenth century, the Indian cultural movement reached its climax and then began to break up. The sign of decay starts to come in perception in the years between 1916 and 1948. So the first hand sense of build up modern Indian culture started by the great Bengali reformers like Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Raja Ram Mohun Roy, Swami Vivekananda and Rabindra Nath Tagore. In the beginning of twentieth century, the attempt of these social reformers created a sense of literary, humanistic, religious and ethical values of Indian culture. After the independence, Chaudhuri confirms that the attempt of them made the sense of cultural equality. The native culture realized that it should not imitate the traits of the alien culture any longer and began to cleanse itself of the contamination by the alien culture. But Chaudhuri observes that Hinduism and Indian culture has supernatural sense and it should be modify reasonably to make rich the ethical values. The literary works of Nirad C. Chaudhuri have generally presented him to be an anti-Indian writer. He considered as a communicator of the complexity of his native culture, embodies newness and describe the colonies as exotic perspective. This essay studies Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s attempt to write the output of Indian culture through an autobiographical non-fiction The Autobio-graphy of an Unknown Indian establishing his views and position detached from his countrymen. Here he expresses his views regarding the West and the East from a self-detached point of view. The critics and literary personalities related to him believe that he is a social observer more than a social writer. In this book, he gives an account of cultural, religious, and political aspect of society. In this paper, we will study how much relevant the book in respect of Indian cultural ethos.

Journal of Environmental Biology is one of the leading international, interdisciplinary, open access and peer reviewed research journal that has been publishing research papers for over 40 years. The mission of the journal has been to keep scholars, academicians and scientists abreast of latest research. My first encounter with Journal of Environmental Biology was in the library of Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow that I would frequently visit to explore different journals for collecting research material for my doctorate program, followed by submitting research papers for publication in journal, however, in my wildest dream I had never imagined that someday I would be working in JEB. My father's scientific background had a strong influence on me which inspired me to opt for science stream for taking research as a career. After enrolling for a doctorate program, once again I was lucky to work under a supervisor who encouraged her scholars to visit libraries and study journals before commencing for laboratory experiments. Further, my passion for reading also propelled me to visit different libraries of research institutes during free time. Although, Google was available for literature search, but full length research papers were not easily available as most journals were paid, this further compelled us to visit libraries for collecting literature. After completing my doctorate program, instead of taking up a conventional career, I got an opportunity to join the R&D Division of JEB as a scientist. This turned out to be a turning point of my career as again I was fortunate to work under Dr. R.C. Dalela, the Editor-in-chief of JEB who is a known academician and researcher of India. He has been a teacher, a guide, a mentor and also a torchbearer to innumerable students. His constant guidance, training, support, and gesture towards life and work has shaped my career. After working in JEB for over a decade, I feel privileged and proud to serve as an Editor of JEB, looking after the entire publication work. Over time the journal has also grown, transformed and established itself on the International platform. The rising popularity among the scientific community and the feedback received from researchers and Editorial Board Members has propelled us to expand our horizons. For the year 2022, I have made efforts to give a new and modified look to the journal. To begin with, I warm-heartedly welcome the new members of the Editorial Board, and thank them for accepting my invitation to join JEB Editorial Board-2022. Also, I deeply acknowledge the co-operation received from the serving members of the Editorial Board during the pandemic period in the smooth functioning of the journal affairs and their time to time suggestions for upgrading the journal's policies. The Editorial Board-2022 is robust, dynamic and diverse, constituting experts of varied fields. Further, the growing popularity of JEB can be witnessed by the e-mails we receive from the scientists to serve journal as EB members and reviewers. Quite often we have been receiving research articles from new emerging areas of Cancer Biology, Environment Toxicology and Health, Climate Change and Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Nanoscience, and Wild Life Conservation. Looking into the interest of the researchers, we have included these new areas under the scope of the journal. This step would open new doors for researchers to submit their new innovative high-quality research work in JEB and also make JEB a top multidisciplinary journal. Looking into the flow of research articles we receive, the journal has introduced a new section “Theme Section” where research articles pertaining to a specific theme can be submitted. We invite research articles on the following theme: Regime Shift Ecology; Wildlife Conservation; Environmental Toxicants and Human Health; Nanotechnology and Environmental Protection; Rewilding lost ecosystem. On the basis of suggestions and ideas received from the Editorial Board Members, the journal has launched new sections: v Monographs v Book Review where authors and publishers can get their books reviewed and published in JEB. v Events: Announcements related to academic events such as conferences from academic institutions will be advertised on the journal's website. v Achievements: Academic achievements and awards of Editorial Board Members, Reviewers and Authors will be showcased on the journal's website. We further plan to encourage and motivate the research scholars and scientists for suitably awarding them for their outstanding contribution in the research field. The journal aims to provide leading services to the global research audience worldwide, which is well reflected in the Open Access facility of the journal. This facility is provided to the researchers, especially scholars so that the published research articles are readily available to them, free of charge, and also for rapid dissemination of research published in the journal publically. As an Editor of the journal, I encourage scholars to make maximal use of the Open Access facility of journals as this would significantly increase their knowledge and also make them aware of the latest research carried out worldwide. Laboratory studies are an integral part of the doctorate program, but reading and writing skill is equally essential for presenting the experimental output. Often, while evaluating the manuscripts for scientific content, I observe that the papers are rejected due to poor presentation despite strong scientific study. Therefore, I strongly suggest the supervisors to motivate their research scholars to take out some time and visit libraries to cultivate the habit of reading literature and also develop their writing skills. I believe this would positively improve the vocabulary, grammar, and of course ability to write a good research paper. There should be group discussion among the scholars and most important constant communication with their supervisor. Each day I come across several submissions in JEB, most of them are prepared and submitted by research scholars. Here, I would like to specify that JEB is not a platform for submitting Ph. D. work. Authors, especially supervisors should instruct their research scholars to first visit the website of the journal, read the Publication Policies and “Guidelines for Authors” of the journal. Before submitting their research articles, authors should strictly prepare their manuscript as per the Guidelines of the journal, and ensure manuscript for scientific merit, clarity, and correct English. Now onwards, all the manuscripts submitted for publication in JEB will be strictly scrutinized by the R&D Division before it is subjected to peer review. The peer-review system will be made more rigorous and meticulous. JEB strictly condemns plagiarism, therefore, manuscripts with plagiarized content will be outrightly rejected. These steps are being taken to save the time of Editorial staff and avoid delay in the processing of manuscripts. Editorial and Publication work requires immense hard work. It is not only a job but also a service. One has to be industrious, efficient, creative and competitive, and also derive pleasure from work. Fortunately, I and my team enjoy our work, abide by the norms of the organization and try to give our best services to the scientific society. It gives me and my team immense pleasure to release the January issue-2022 with a new look and content. I hope this issue would be of much relevance and interest to JEB readers. For further improvement, we welcome suggestions and feedback from our contributors and readers. “ I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy ” Rabindra Nath Tagore
