"Gender and Identity Politics: Arupa Patangia Kalita’s <i>Felanee </i>(The Story of Felanee) and Rita Chowdhury’s <i>Ei Samay Sei Samay </i>(Times Now and Then)." Asiatic: IIUM Journal of English Language and Literature 10, no. 1 (June 15, 2016): 43–53. http://dx.doi.org/10.31436/asiatic.v10i1.773.
Full textAbstract:
This paper explores how two contemporary women writers in Asamiya refract the question of identity politics through a gendered prism in a multiethnic and multilingual landscape of the Brahmaputra valley in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries. The period since the late 1970s has been one of intense sociopolitical movements, armed rebellions and state supported armed repressions in large parts of northeastern India. While a few women (including the writer Rita Chowdhury (1960-) discussed in this paper) have been at the forefront of some of these movements such as the Assam Movement (late 1970s and 1980s), women in general have been at the receiving end of the violence unleashed both by armed rebels fighting against the Indian state as well as by the state’s armed machinery. An understanding of this context is crucial to conceptualise the terms through which we shall approach the texts Felanee (2003) and Ei Samay Sei Samay (2007) as both texts are situated in conflict-ridden times. While Rita Chowdhury’s Ei Samay Sei Samay draws on the author’s experience of being closely involved in the Assam Movement, Felanee spans a time period which saw several movements and rebellions, sometimes running parallel to each other as ethnic groups increasingly claimed nationhood within or outside the political borders of the Indian state. Finally, the article gestures towards another issue – the question of whether writers in Asamiya engage with identity politics differently from Northeast Indian writers writing in English. While most writers writing in English have received critical attention, I believe it is equally important to understand how writers in the vernaculars have engaged with similar questions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyses Syed Amanuddin’s “Don’t Call Me Indo-Anglian” from the perspective of a cultural materialist. In an effort to understand Amanuddin’s contempt for the term, the matrix of identity, language and cultural ideology has been explored. The politics of the representation of the self and the other that creates a chasm among human beings has also been discussed. The impact of the British colonialism on the language and psyche of people has been taken into account. This is best visible in the seemingly innocent introduction of English in India as medium of instruction which has subsequently brought in a new kind of sensibility and culture unknown hitherto in India. Indians experienced them in the form of snobbery, racism, highbrow and religious bigotry. P C Ray and M K Gandhi resisted the introduction of English as the medium of instruction. However, a new class of Indo-Anglians has emerged after independence which is not different from the Anglo-Indians in their attitude towards India. The question of identity has become important for an Indian irrespective of the spatial or time location of a person.

Full textAbstract:
The essence of the modernistic awareness is located amply in the literature of the Indian universal mythical theme. Erudition of ancient texts like Ramayana and Mahabharata, not only is a source of popular culture but also detects concerns related to individuality and authority that have taken over subaltern probing. Patriarchic misogyny claims are elated while the paper attempts to look forward as Lisa Tuttle in her book The Encyclopedia of Feminism urges to look into “new questions for old texts,” prods over the role of women who are commonly considered as the weaker sex and submissive ones. A close analysis can impart a ray of understanding that amidst patriarchal society and regulations, the women in The Mahabharata did occupy prominence in terms of spirituality, salvation and sexuality that what the general assumptions would affirm. Focus is to reveal that women in the epic portray strong will power and ability to change the decisions made by men, thus playing a crucial role in hi(s)story. The present paper probes into a principal concern of the prominent women characters- Madhvi, Satyavati, Kunti along with a few connected instances of Gandhari and Draupadi; their relationship of their self, by their self and for their self.

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Do the siblings of Asian Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) manifest increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD)? SUMMARY ANSWER Siblings had functional endothelial dysfunction (FMD was reduced) when compared to age and BMI-matched controls while sisters but not brothers had structural endothelial dysfunction (CIMT was increased). WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Siblings of women with PCOS have increased metabolic risk but it varies with ethnicity. Among Asian Indians the only previous study has shown reduced FMD in brothers. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This study was a tertiary care hospital-based cross-sectional case control study in the outpatient department of the endocrine clinic over 18 months. In total, 41 brothers and 35 sisters of women with PCOS (diagnosed by 2003 Rotterdam criteria) were recruited. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Age (±2 years), sex and BMI- (±1 kg/m2) matched controls were selected. Cases and controls underwent clinical and biochemical investigations. Cardiologists performed doppler ultrasonogram to determine CIMT and FMD in a blinded fashion. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE FMD was decreased in brothers [median 12.3% interquartile range (5.1, 19) versus 18.4% (12.6, 21.5), P = 0.002] and in sisters [10.8% (5.8, 17.2) versus 14.7% (11.4, 18.2), P = 0.027] when compared to controls. CIMT was higher in sisters [median 0.4 mm (0.35, 0.5) versus 0.3 mm (0.3, 0.4), P= 0.002] when compared to controls but not in brothers. Metabolic syndrome was more common in brothers (27% versus 5% in controls, P = 0.007) even after matching for age and BMI. Insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance and acanthosis) was higher in brothers as compared to controls. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate was significantly elevated in brothers. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION There may have been referral bias of patients with PCOS in a tertiary care institute, and the radiological assessment was performed by two cardiologists serially on different time frames over the study duration. Power was only 50% in CIMT for brothers. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Siblings of women with PCOS had higher CVD risk over and above the already pre-existing higher metabolic risk associated with Asian Indian ethnicity and therefore the siblings require vigilant management. Endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance seems to be a heritable trait of PCOS independent of obesity, which if confirmed in other ethnicities would have important implications.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionIndian Literature with its multiplicity of languages and the plurality of cultures dates back to 3000 years ago, comprising Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and Epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. India has a strong literary tradition in various Indian regional languages like Sanskrit, Prakrit, Pali, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and so on. Indian writers share oral tradition, indigenous experiences and reflect on the history, culture and society in regional languages as well as in English. The first Indian novel in English is Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s Rajmohan’s Wife (1864). Indian Writing in English can be viewed in three phases - Imitative, First and Second poets’ phases. The 20th century marks the matrix of indigenous novels. The novels such as Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable (1935), Anita Nair’s Ladies Coupé (2001), and Khuswant Singh’s Memories of Madness: Stories of 1947 (2002) depict social issues, vices and crises (discrimination, injustice, violence against women) in India. Indian writers, and their contribution to world literature, are popular in India and abroad.Researchers are keen on analysing the works of Indian writers from historical, cultural, social perspectives and on literary theories (Post-Colonialism, Postmodernity, Cultural Studies). The enormity of the cultural diversity in India is reflected in Indian novels, plays, dramas, short stories and poems. This collection of articles attempts to capture the diversity of the Indian land/culture/landscape. It focuses on the history of India, partition, women’s voices, culture and society, and science and technology in Indian narratives, documentaries and movies.Special Issue: An Overview“Whatever has happened, has happened for goodWhatever is happening, is also for goodWhatever will happen, shall also be good.”- The Bhagavad-Gita.In the Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra battlefield, Lord Krishna counsels Arjuna on how everything that happens, regardless of whether it is good or bad, happens for a reason.Indian Literature: Past, Present and Future portrays the glorious/not-so-glorious times in history, the ever-changing crisis/peace of contemporary and hope for an unpredictable future through India’s literary and visual narratives. It focuses on comparison across cultures, technological advancements and diverse perspectives or approaches through the work of art produced in/on India. It projects India’s flora, fauna, historical monuments and rich cultural heritage. It illustrates how certain beliefs and practices come into existence – origin, evolution and present structure from a historical perspective. Indian Literature: Past, Present and Future gives a moment to recall, rectify and raise to make a promising future. This collection attempts to interpret various literary and visual narratives which are relevant at present.The Epics Reinterpreted: Highlighting Feminist Issues While Sustaining Deep Motif, examines the Women characters in the Epics – Ramayana and Mahabharata. It links the present setting to the violence against women described in the Epics Carl Jung’s archetypes are highlighted in a few chosen characters (Sita, Amba, Draupati). On one note, it emphasises the need for women to rise and fight for their rights.Fictive Testimony and Genre Tension: A Study of ‘Functionality’ of Genre in Manto’s Toba Tek Singh, analyses the story as a testimony and Manto as a witness. It discusses the ‘Testimony and Fictive Testimony’ in Literature. It explains how the works are segregated into a particular genre. The authors conclude that the testimony is to be used to understand or identify with the terror.Tangible Heritage and Intangible Memory: (Coping) Precarity in the select Partition writings by Muslim Women, explores the predicament of women during the Partition of India through Mumtaz Shah Nawaz’s The Heart Divided (1990) and Attia Hosain’s Sunlight on a Broken Column (2009). It addresses ‘Feminist Geography’ to escape precarity. It depicts a woman who is cut off from her own ethnic or religious group and tries to conjure up her memories as a means of coping with loneliness and insecurity.Nation Building Media Narratives and its Anti-Ecological Roots: An Eco-Aesthetic Analysis of Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan, analyses the post-Partition trauma in the fictional village, Mano Majra. It illustrates the cultural and spiritual bond between Mano Majrans — the inhabitants of Mano Majra — and nature (the land and river). It demonstrates how the media constructs broad myths about culture, religion, and nation. According to the authors, Mano Majrans place a high value on the environment, whilst the other boundaries are more concerned with nationalism and religion.Pain and Hopelessness among Indian Farmers: An Analysis of Deepa Bhatia’s Nero’s Guests documents the farmers’ suicides in India as a result of debt and decreased crop yield. The travels of Sainath and his encounters with the relatives of missing farmers have been chronicled in the documentary Nero’s Guests. It uses the Three Step Theory developed by David Klonsky and Alexis May and discusses suicide as a significant social issue. The authors conclude that farmers are the foundation of the Indian economy and that without them, India’s economy would collapse. It is therefore everyone’s responsibility—the people and the government—to give farmers hope so that they can overcome suicidal thoughts.The link between animals and children in various cultures is discussed in The New Sociology of Childhood: Animal Representations in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Garden in the Dunes, Amazon’s Oh My Dog, and Netflix’s Mughizh: A Cross-Cultural Analysis. It examines the chosen works from the perspectives of cross-cultural psychology and the New Sociology of Childhood. It emphasises kids as self-sufficient, engaged, and future members of society. It emphasises universal traits that apply to all people, regardless of culture. It acknowledges anthropomorphized cartoons create a bond between kids and animals.Life in Hiding: Censorship Challenges faced by Salman Rushdie and Perumal Murugan, explores the issues sparked by their writings. It draws attention to the aggression and concerns that were forced on them by the particular sect of society. It explains the writers’ experiences with the fatwa, court case, exile, and trauma.Female Body as the ‘Other’: Rituals and Biotechnical Approach using Perumal Murugan’s One Part Woman and Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women, questions the society that limits female bodies for procreation and objectification. It talks about how men and women are regarded differently, as well as the cultural ideals that apply to women. It explains infertility, which is attributed to women, as well as people’s ignorance and refusal to seek medical help in favour of adhering to traditional customs and engaging in numerous rituals for procreation.Life and (non) Living: Technological and Human Conglomeration in Android Kunjappan Version 5.25, explores how cyborgs and people will inevitably interact in the Malayalam film Android Kunjappan Version 5.25. It demonstrates the advantages, adaptability, and drawbacks of cyborgs in daily life. It emphasises how the cyborg absorbs cultural and religious notions. The authors argue that cyborgs are an inevitable development in the world and that until the flaws are fixed, humans must approach cyborgs with caution. The Challenges of Using Machine Translation While Translating Polysemous Words, discusses the difficulty of using machine translation to translate polysemous words from French to English (Google Translate). It serves as an example of how the machine chooses the formal or often-used meaning rather than the pragmatic meaning and applies it in every situation. It demonstrates how Machine Translation is unable to understand the pragmatic meaning of Polysemous terms because it is ignorant of the cultures of the source and target languages. It implies that Machine Translation will become extremely beneficial and user-friendly if the flaws are fixed.This collection of articles progresses through the literary and visual narratives of India that range from historical events to contemporary situations. It aims to record the stories that are silenced and untold through writing, film, and other forms of art. India’s artistic output was influenced by factors such as independence, partition, the Kashmir crisis, the Northeast Insurgency, marginalisation, religious disputes, environmental awareness, technical breakthroughs, Bollywood, and the Indian film industry. India now reflects a multitude of cultures and customs as a result of these occurrences. As we examine the Indian narratives produced to date, we can draw the conclusion that India has a vast array of tales to share with the rest of the world.Guest Editorial BoardGuest Editor-in-ChiefDr. Bhuvaneswari R, Associate Professor, School of Social Sciences and Languages, Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai.

Full textAbstract:
Context: The Big Five model is a well-accepted model of personality but there is scant research on the factor structure of personality from Asian populations. It is unclear whether the Big Five personality model can account for cross-cultural variation in personality structures. Aim: To explore the factor structure of personality by analyzing the Big Five personality factors in a sample from Karnataka, South India. Settings and Design: This was a cross-structural observational study conducted in Udupi and Mangalore. Methods and Material: 400 community participants (200 women) from diverse socio economic backgrounds were recruited for the study and were assessed on either an English or Kannada version of the BFI-2-S. The reliability of the translated version of BFI-2-S was established. Statistical Analysis Used: Exploratory factor analysis using Principal Component Analysis with Varimax Rotation and Kaiser Normalization was carried out. Results: Factor Analysis revealed a four-factor and a five-factor solution that varied distinctly from the original Big Five. None of the identified factors fit into the original five factors. The four-factor solution explained 36.86% of the variance and the five-factor solution explained 41.74%. The five factors were named as – Social Effectiveness, Interpersonal Ability, Altruism, Emotional Instability, and Innovativeness. The translated tool showed good temporal stability. Conclusions: The Five factors identified in the present study differ from the Big Five model or the General Factor of Personality. This raises questions about the cross-cultural validity of the Big Five model as well as highlighting the need to adopt more culturally adaptive methods of assessing personality.

The brand was named after her late father-in-law lovingly known as ‘Naara’ and ‘Aaba’ meaning father. The motto of the company is to fight a social problem that wreaks havoc across the region, namely the suicides of thousands of farmers who cannot pay back their debt due to drought, poor harvest, and sometimes exacerbated by climate. Rita started her winery facing these hurdles and a field abundant in kiwi fruits. Despite facing many challenges such as lack of efficient production infrastructure, market connectivity, and minimum support from the government machinery, she has created a niche market in the wine industry. This case aims to establish the applicability of the Blue Ocean strategy by applying the tools to create an uncontested market space for Naara-Aaba, the first organic kiwi wine from the north-eastern states of India and second in the world after New Zealand. Research question: How to apply Blue Ocean strategy for the brand Naara-Aaba so that the competition becomes irrelevant? Theory: Blue Ocean theory Type of the case: Applied problem solving Basis of the case: Phenomenon-creating uncontested space in the market Protagonist: Present Findings: The findings revealed that implementing a Blue Ocean strategy will open up new uncontested market spaces for the brand to grow profitably. This case study shows how to apply Blue Ocean strategy for a wine brand. Discussion: Blue Ocean strategy advocates that by eliminating unnecessary attributes, reducing all features that pushes up the cost, raising utility, and creating higher value, a brand can redefine its market where competition is non-existent.

Abstract Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of physical impairment in older persons. Few studies have determined the relationship between the presence of OA and frailty. We evaluated the prospective relationship between knee pain and frailty in a Malaysian longitudinal cohort. Method Data from Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR) study were utilised. Baseline data were obtained from home-based computer-assisted questionnaires and hospital-based health-checks from 2013–2015. The presence of knee pain was determined with the single question, ‘do you have pain in your knee(s)?’. Frailty status was determined at follow-up in 2019 using SARC-F. Results Data from 1,226 individuals, mean age (SD) = 68.97 (7.48), range = 54–97 years and 56.6% women at baseline, were included. 408 (33.3%) had knee pain. Individuals with knee pain were significantly more likely to be female (66.2% vs 51.8%, p < 0.001). Ethnic differences existed in the presence of knee pain (Malay 43.4% vs Chinese 24.8% vs Indian 31.9%, p < 0.001). Individuals with knee pain was more likely to have diabetes (40.1% vs 29.9%, p < 0.001), hypertension (38.3% vs 27.0%, p < 0.001), dyslipidaemia (38.4% vs 26.5%, p < 0.001) and obesity (52.6% vs 30.2%, p < 0.001). After adjustment for confounders, individuals with knee pain were more significantly to develop frailty at follow-up [odds ratio (95% confidence interval) =2.71(1.61–4.58)]. Conclusion Knee pain was associated with an increased risk of frailty with 5-years follow-up in an urban population in Kuala Lumpur. More detailed evaluation using imaging and clinical diagnosis of osteoarthritis is now indicated. Future studies should also seek to identify modifiable risk factors for the development of frailty in individuals with knee OA and develop strategies to prevent frailty.

Abstract STUDY QUESTION What is the effect of saturated fat ingestion on mononuclear cell (MNC) TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β secretion and circulating IL-6 levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)? SUMMARY ANSWER Women with PCOS exhibit increases in MNC-derived TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β secretion and circulating IL-6 following saturated fat ingestion even in the absence of obesity, and these increases are linked to metabolic aberration and androgen excess. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Cytokine excess and metabolic aberration is often present in PCOS. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A cross-sectional design was used in this study of 38 reproductive-age women. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Groups of 19 reproductive-age women with PCOS (10 lean, 9 obese) and 19 ovulatory controls (10 lean, 9 obese) participated in this study that was performed at a tertiary academic medical centre. TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β secretion was measured from cultured MNC, and IL-6 was measured in plasma from blood sampling while fasting and 2, 3 and 5 h after saturated fat ingestion. Insulin sensitivity was determined using the Matsuda index following an oral glucose tolerance test. Androgen secretion was evaluated with blood sampling while fasting and 24, 48 and 72 h after an HCG injection. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Lean and obese women with PCOS exhibited lipid-induced incremental AUC increases in MNC-derived TNFα (489–611%), IL-6 (333–398%) and IL-1β (560–695%) secretion and in plasma IL-6 levels (426–474%), in contrast with lean control subjects. In both PCOS groups, insulin sensitivity was lower (42–49%) and androgen secretion after HCG injection was greater (63–110%) compared with control subjects. The MNC-derived TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1β and circulating IL-6 responses were inversely associated with insulin sensitivity and directly associated with fasting lipids and androgen secretion after HCG injection. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The sample size of each of the four study groups was modest following group assignment of subjects by body mass. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS This study showcases the unique pro-inflammatory contribution of circulating MNC in the development of metabolic aberration and androgen excess in PCOS.

Full textAbstract:
The paper attempts to project Bhim Rao Ambedkar as one of the foremost liberal feminists who advocated for Hindu women’s legal rights through the constitutional provisions listed in the Hindu Code Bill. He proposed four major stipulations, “one change is that, the widow, the daughter, the widow of predeceased-son. All are given the same rank as the son in the matter of inheritance. In addition to that, the daughter is also given a share in her father’s property: her share is prescribed as half of that of the son.”[1] To contemplate the predicament and marginalized position of Indian women, Ambedkar posited that caste and gender are intertwined. The imposition of endogamy was made compulsory by Brahaminical hierarchy which eulogized by Hindu religious scriptures to ensure sustained subjectivity of women, which eventually depreciated the egalitarian position of women. The focal point of the research paper remains a close textual analysis of Ambedkarite canon with archival study and genealogical examination contouring the discourse. The paper also encompasses potent reasons to establish the differences between the marginalization of upper-caste women and Dalit women. Difference between them is maintained by the ‘graded inequality.’ After having observed such differences, the paper intends to extend the idea that Ambedkar worked as a socio-political champion for Dalit women and Indian women concomitantly. To guarantee the freedom, equality, and individuality of Indian women, Ambedkar resorted to legalized mechanism and constitutional provisions.

Full textAbstract:
One of the fastest-growing sectors of the Indian economy is waste. Its labour illustrates Deliege’s paradox of material essentiality combined with social stigma and marginalisation. Between 2015 and 2019 the production and disposal of waste in a small South Indian town was traced through its circuits of industrial production (agro-processing), distribution (of people and of food), consumption, the production of labour (human wastes) and the reproduction of society (health care activity). The material substances of waste, their physical organisation and gendered labour processes are mapped onto each circuit. This enables a discussion of three questions: (a) regulative institutions in the formal and informal waste economy; (b) the gendering of property and work in the capitalist waste economy and (c) the gendered significance of collective action. The privatisation of waste work has caused a deterioration in work conditions throughout the waste economy. Literally and metaphorically, waste work is shit-work in which women experience the worst conditions in both physical and economic terms.

Full textAbstract:
Objective Asian-Indian women are a growing population in the United States, but little data exist about their risk of cesarean delivery (CD). We characterize the odds of CD among Asian-Indian women and determine whether neonatal birth weight modifies this relationship. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study using an administrative perinatal database from California. We identified 1,029,940 nulliparous women with live, singleton, nonanomalous deliveries between 37 and 42 completed weeks of gestation. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine if Asian-Indian women were more likely to deliver by CD, compared with white non-Hispanic women, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables. We explored if birth weight was an effect modifier, testing the interaction term's significance using Wald's test, and performed multivariable logistic regressions stratified by birth weight category. Results Asian-Indian women comprised 2.0% of the cohort. Compared with white non-Hispanic women, Asian-Indian women had an adjusted odds of 1.41 (95% confidence interval: 1.36–1.46) for CD. However, we noted effect modification of birth weight on the odds of CD by race/ethnicity (p < 0.001). Among all birth weight categories exceeding 3,000 g, Asian-Indian women had higher odds of CD than white non-Hispanic women. Conclusion Asian-Indian women are at greater risk of CD than white non-Hispanic women when birthweight exceeds 3,000 g.

This article presents a study on international careers and career success of Indian women in Science & Technology (S&T). We conducted interviews with 30 (upper) middle class Indian women in New Delhi and Bangalore (India) who pursued careers abroad as self-initiated expatriates (SIEs). Important elements of career capital competencies in international career pursuits and career success of Indian women SIEs in S&T were: (a) families who value higher education and careers of their female children, which motivated women to pursue international careers to elevate family class status (knowing-why); (b) the motivation to gain knowledge and skills in science and technology (knowing-how) and (c) the encouragement and support from family for women’s international career pursuits, and international networks (knowing-whom). Furthermore, findings show that patriarchy entrenched in Indian society and culture resulted in a lack of organizational capital, which impede career success of women in S&T. We advise organizations in India to implement HR policies and practices embracing the development of career capital to empower Indian women in S&T to be successful in their international careers.

Abstract Introduction Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) continues to be a therapeutic challenge. Actual incidence is not exactly known as routine screening by echocardiogram is not recommended for all pregnant women across various parts of the world. Aim We, in our study, report the incidence, clinical profile, and prognosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy among South Indian women in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods All pregnant ladies, referred for cardiac evaluation in the last month of pregnancy and 5 months postpartum, were included in this study. Transthoracic ehocardiography was used for the diagnosis of PPCM. The patients who were diagnosed with PPCM were followed-up clinically and echocardiographically for 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year. Results Among 5,475 of pregnant women who were screened with transthoracic echocardiogram, 14 patients were diagnosed with PPCM (0.26%). All 14 PPCM patients presented with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV. The incidence of PPCM was high in primigravida in our subgroup. The thrombus burden was high, constituting 42.86% in our subgroup and mortality occurred in three patients. Conclusion The incidence of PPCM was 0.25% in our subgroup, with high–thrombus burden. Hence, early diagnosis and proper anticoagulation is the need of the hour among appropriate patients along the heart failure management.

AbstractThere is a dearth of research on how women managers engage in hybrid identity work during their career transitions, and the aim of this study was to fill this gap. Interviews were conducted with 13 Indian women managers in senior and top managerial positions, and the data obtained were analysed using thematic analysis. The narratives indicate that previously disadvantaged groups (Indian women in this case) are caught between subscribing to cultural values and concurrently conforming to organisational norms. Participants’ answers to the question: “Who am I as an Indian female manager?” reveal that during their career ascendency these women engage in a tremendous amount of hybrid identity work and rework related to their self-concept of being an “ideal” Indian female and simultaneously being a “perfect” manager. Nevertheless, in their career transitions to managerial positions, these women are selective in the hybrid identity work they engage in.

Full textAbstract:
Political knowledge is a central concept in the study of public opinion and political behavior. Yet what the field collectively believes about this construct is based on dozens of studies using different indicators of knowledge. We identify two theoretically relevant dimensions: atemporaldimension that corresponds to the time when a fact was established and atopicaldimension that relates to whether the fact is policy-specific or general. The resulting typology yields four types of knowledge questions. In an analysis of more than 300 knowledge items from late in the first decade of the 2000s, we examine whether classic findings regarding the predictors of knowledge withstand differences across types of questions. In the case of education and the mass media, the mechanisms for becoming informed operate differently across question types. However, differences in the levels of knowledge between men and women are robust, reinforcing the importance of including gender-relevant items in knowledge batteries.

In this study, I focus primarily on gender and caste issues and their effects on the agonized inner mind of the repressed female and child characters in the novel The God of Small Things (1997) by Arundhati Roy. In this novel, Indian woman novelist Arundhati Roy focused primarily on the existential psychological predicaments and travails in the lives of the subjugated Indian women who were imperiled by the psychological and physical abuse in a male-dominated society ruled by rigid social and religious conventions and constraints. In other words, Roy sought to appraise the aberrant psychology of men and women in the conventional Indian social climate. She focused on the traumatic experiences of her women characters under the impact of social class and gender discrimination. She employed Freud's psychoanalytic theory to reveal the disturbed psyche of her women characters. The methodology of this study concerns two major directions: close-text analysis and cultural studies. It deals with sociological and psychological problems, which analyze and expose the symbolism of man’s behavior particularized in a patriarchal society.

Since the mid-1980s, several Indian women novelists have enriched mainstream English literature with stories of educated, middle-class, Indian women migrating to and settling in North America. The novels assert that by migrating to North America, the protagonists were able to find ‘freedom’. In this paper, I question whether international migration necessarily leads to ‘freedom’ for this cohort of Indian women and argue that it their histories and experiences of subjugation and emancipation are not necessarily in binary opposition, and that there may be a space for multiplicity. Based on their changing power positions, the respondents were placed simultaneously at the centre and at the margins in their own homes, at work and at the places of socialisation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper looks at South Indian social reformer and anti-caste radical Periyar E.V. Ramasamy's approach to the women's question. Periyar was not just an advocate of social and economic equality between the sexes but espoused a radical concept of sexual freedom for women, which is central to his concept of liberty as such. While the anti-colonialists of his period defended native traditions and customs, Periyar welcomed modernity and saw it laden with possibilities for the emancipation of women. Likewise, where other social reformers addressed the women's question within the ambit of the nation and/or the family, Periyar saw both nation and family as institutions that limited the liberties of women. This paper compares his thoughts with The Dialectic of Sex, the key work of the radical feminist Shulamith Firestone, and highlights the similarities in their approach to women's liberation and sexual freedom, especially their critique of child-rearing and child-bearing. It explores Periyar's booklet Women Enslaved in detail and engages with lesser known, new primary material of Periyar on the women's question, concluding with a discussion of his perspective of the West.

Full textAbstract:
This reader is a compilation of eighteen essays written by academics, feminists and scholar-activists from a Dalit Feminist Perspective. The editors Sunaina Arya and Aakash Singh Rathore, introduces the book by theorizing Dalit feminism underpinning its ontology and epistemology. Critiquing the academic discourse of feminism which predominantly questions gender inequality on a single axis as a fight against patriarchy, Arya and Rathore pose the important question, ‘Why Dalit Feminist Theory?’. Although the dialogue on Dalit Feminist standpoints started during the 1990s, the core of the book lies in attempting to legitimize Dalit Feminist Theory due to the ubiquity of caste question in Indian society, which cannot be overlooked in any circumstances. Thus, the book revisits the Indian Feminist discourse for feminists to critique the gatekeeping that ‘upper caste’ privileged feminists did to represent the issues of all women by homogenizing the category of a woman based on a few percentages of upper caste women leaving out Dalit, Bahujan, Adivasi and minority women who forms a much larger percentage in comparison. The book is an important read due to its critical engagement and initiation of a dialogue with Indian feminists to argue the need for Dalit Feminist Theory in reshaping Indian feminist discourse.

ABSTRACT Introduction Genital malignancies in women varies widely from developed to developing countries. Postmenopausal women are at risk of developing various genital malignancies. Objectives (1) To determine frequency of genital tract malignancies in postmenopausal women, (2) to determine the type and stage of genital tract malignancies, (3) to create awareness of screening in women. Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of 2 years from March 2010 to Feb. 2012. It included 200 postmenopausal women admitted with complaints like mass or fullness of abdomen, bleeding or discharge per vaginal and ulcer over vulva. They were evaluated clinically followed by relevant investigations. Malignancy was confirmed by histopathology report. Results Out of 200 postmenopausal women admitted during study period, malignancy was confirmed in 55 women (27.5%). The type of malignancy was cervical carcinoma (30, 54.54%), ovarian carcinoma (18, 32.72%), carcinoma endometrium (5, 9.09%), carcinoma vulva (1, 1.81%) and carcinoma vagina (1, 1.81%). Majority of carcinoma cervix and ovarian carcinoma were in advanced stage. Conclusion Carcinoma cervix was commonest genital malignancy found our study followed by carcinoma ovary. Importance of routine gynecological check-up in postmenopausal women was emphasised. How to cite this article Somalwar SA, Joshi S, Kawthalkar A, Bhalerao A, Jain S, Somalwar A.

Edouard Glissant denounces all forms of standardization, which model cultures to which he proposes an erratic and eccentric thought. It is specifically in that context that our article reexamined the question of Glissant’s subversive rhetorical strategy by relating it to the judicial impetus. In fact, it’s a question of a counter-rhetoric that underpinned not only anti-poetic, but also composite aesthetic. This is how the West Indian novelist-orator tries to annul cultural typicality and cultivate the intermixing between different human imaginations.

So far migrants who are poor, and particularly the increasing number of women who migrate for survival, have not been given much attention. In the literature, women are considered to be 'tied movers'. This book has engendered the important issue of seasonal, survival migration. This volume, No. 16, in the series on Indo-Dutch series on Development Alternatives, consists of four studies and focuses on women who stay behind while males migrate, and on women who migrate individually or with the family. The crucial question asked is: "Is the consequence of women and men migration subordination or emancipation of women?"

The authors have produced the Atlas of Women and Men in India, using material from the 1991 Census, mainly at district level. The Atlas may be unacceptable to Indian geographers because it seeks to question the authority of numerical data and of maps, and to Western geographers because this is “mapping before we understand the process”. The authors introduce maps of the sex ratio in India and explore through a map of changes in the sex ratio 1981–91 some numerical, analytical, and ethical problems of such mapping. The Indian feminist activists consulted want the Atlas for advocacy: does this justify its production?

AbstractBreast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women with a significant increase in incidence in young women. To identify risk factors for breast cancer in young women, study of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germ line mutations was done in a cohort of 204 Indian breast cancer patients. The study showed a total of 18 mutations in 2.94% of the tested patients, 44% BRCA1 and 78% BRCA2 mutations were found unique to the Indian population. Association of low penetrance genes mainly CYP17, VDR gene and AR-CAG repeat polymorphisms with breast cancer risk showed CYP17 A2 and VDR Poly-A L as high risk alleles, the risk of developing breast cancer among women carrying three high-risk alleles is 4.68 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77–28.0; p for trend = 0.10) compared with women carrying none. CYP17 A2 allele was also found associated with development of breast cancer at young age and can also serve as a target for therapy. Betel quid chewing has been found as a significant and independent risk factor for developing breast cancer in North East Indian women which induces genetic alterations leading to breast carcinogenesis. Studies to assess the predictive role of various tumor markers showed that expression of p-glycoprotein in pretreatment biopsy predicts a poor clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients having locally advanced breast cancer. The chemotherapy-induced toxicity (vomiting and alopecia) correlated significantly with clinical and immunohistochemical response (reduction in bcl2/bax ratio) and were found to be a cost-effective and reliable predictor of response to NACT. Androgen receptor (AR) has been identified as independent predictive marker for response to NACT in locally advanced breast cancer cases and can serve as novel therapeutic target for triple negative breast cancers.

This research sheds light on SusancBrownmiller's literary theory "Against Our Will: Women,Men, and Rape" in the context of Bapsi Sidhwa's, novel ‘Water’. Rape is one of the most horrific crimes in our culture, and victims are often the only ones who are negatively affected by it. The evil of rape has so drastically affected the lives of women in a patriarchal society that it is no wonder to find its clear depiction in literature and society. The novel ‘Water’ (2006) has highlighted child marriage and the unprotected sorrows of Indian women before independence. This study examines how marriage becomes a turning point in the lives of female characters in the selected text. How they are tortured in ashrams in particular and the ideological tensions they face in Indian society in general. The study is qualitative in nature, and the tool used for the analysis of the text is Content Analysis.

Witch-hunting, an age-old practice in India, survives in a myriad of avatars in rural and urban areas. These avatars of witch-hunting have often been trapped in the binary of Indian modernity and Indian traditions, with the latter often embracing unchallenged superstitious beliefs. Herein we study the way the binary is handled in two recent telefilms, namely Bulbbul and Roohi, as they aim to revolutionise the portrayal of witches in Hindi cinema. The paper looks at how the films in question subvert the genesis of witches and witch-hunts, and how in the process of undermining superstitious belief, they situate witches as embodiment of an emancipatory discourse that resists the silencing of women, a practise still serves the patriarchal standards of a heteronormative, bourgeois society. In so doing, our reading of the films engages with questions such as: How have witches been defined in Indian culture? How are these witches being imagined in the films in question? What implications do these redefinitions have in terms of the feminist movement in India, or in terms of the larger portrayal of Indian women in Hindi cinema?

Full textAbstract:
Modernist discourses centralize feminine sensuality as an indicator of a female’s autonomy; generally, they denounce religious or traditional constraints related to its expression. In particular, liberal feminism rejects normative constraints on female sensuousness, which are argued to enforce gendered restrictions. Amid these popular considerations, there has been a remarkable increase in interest in postcolonial women’s approach to sensuality. Being perceived as sensually submissive by their faith, the question which continually surfaces is: is the sensual ethics of postcolonial women shaped by their religion? Or are they shaped by the societal considerations and values of the society they are born into? This paper addresses this question by considering the varied choices of sensual behaviour adopted by female characters in the postcolonial text, Twilight in Delhi, written by Ahmad Ali. By approaching the decadent culture of Delhi in this novel from a feminist perspective, this paper analyses the feminine sensuality of the Indian women and considers their assumptions about what counts as an appropriate choice for them within the cultural context of Indian society. This paper concludes that the sensual inhibition of these women is conditioned by the cultural bias towards the female gender that connects shame and guilt with their sensual desires in a traditional Indian society.

The concept of equality and nondiscrimination is placed on account of the Indian constitution. Besides, it also enables the state to adopt different measures of affirmative discrimination in favor of women. Laws tend to be gradual, focusing on detailed forms of brutality rather than dealing expansively with all forms of hostility against women. When the law is input, there is frequently feeble law enforcement. Complementary to that the stable throws away to the woman's children, which as an element from having an adverse result on their health also creates an emotional background for them in which they cannot protect against any bodily bloodshed or a number of forms of injustices.

ABSTRACT: This essay aims to compare the work of Rāmabhadrāmbā, Madhuravāṇī, Raṅgājamma, and Kṛṣṇājī, Indian performative artist-courtesans and poetesses active in the seventeenth century at the Nāyaka court in Tanjore. The paper seeks to expand knowledge about them and their work, a significant subject that has been underresearched in Indology so far. The skills and literary achievements of female artists are presented through the analysis of selected passages from their works, such as Raghunāthābhyudaya (The rise of Raghunātha), Śrīrāmāyaṇasāratilaka (The ornament of the essence of Śrīrāmāyaṇa), and other coeval sources, such as Raghunāthanāyakābhyudayamu (The rise of Raghunātha Nāyaka) by Vijayarāghava Nāyaka and Rājāgopālavilāsamu (The sports of Rājāgopāla) by Cengaḷva Kāḷakavi. The article also examines the possible relation between the courtesans in question and the Indian performative art known as avadhāna .

Indian culture is based on two epics; The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. Every Hindu knows about these two epics, other religion people too. There is not any Hindu house which does not know and follow the rituals which are discussed in these two epics. The present generation takes interest to read Retellings of Indian myths which are written by the contemporary Indian English Writers. Indian women like to read Retellings of myths which are written by Indian women writers. Its reason is that it gives voice to marginalized women of the Indian myths. Females compare their unspeakable voice with the voice of marginalized women of the Indian myths which are discussed by Indian women writers through the retellings. This paper discusses the research prospects of one of the well-known epic retellings of Mahabharata Myth – ‘Until the Lions’. It is an experimental retelling of the epic Mahabharata; Karthika Nair writes poetry in the voices of those whose narratives remained untold. Through this epic, Nair attempts to conduct an “inquiry of power” through the eyes of those who do not possess it: most often, the women of the Mahabharata. The story of women we do not hear as much about who were either eulogized too much or were peripheral characters in the story or were powerless queens- Queen Satyavati, Yuyutsu’s Mother, Dushala, Kunti, Gandhari, Hidimbi are fascinating. This epic is the best example to get the knowledge about female experience through the female voice. The objective of this research paper is to discuss research prospects which are applicable to this epic of retelling by the researcher. The researcher applies the theory of feminism to discuss this epic of retelling. The research question is that; Is the peripheral view of Karthika Nair justified as the female voice of Female experience through this epic of Retelling?

Ethical businesses can bring prosperity to society without creating harm to people or environment. Most of the huge corporate scams and frauds involve men in comparison to women. Many studies have found that women at the top management positions in businesses are more ethical than their male counterparts. In the context of growing number of women entering into the corporate world and decision-making positions of businesses, this study explores the question whether the ethical sensitivity of women is higher than that of men in the Indian context. Sample consists of 258 MBA students from 6 different business schools in the city of Bangalore. Study has used an adapted version of business ethical vignettes created by Longenecker, J. G., McKinney, J. A., & Moore, C. W. (1989). The results showed that the self-reported score of ethical sensitivity of female students is higher than that of their male counterparts. The study has significant implications in terms of promoting more women to the top positions of businesses which might result in more ethical business environment and probably a better and sustainable future for our country.

The purpose of this paper is to look at the antecedents of the Indian women?s movement and the achievements before and after independence. The status of women has been a central concern of many reform movements in India. Prior to India?s independence, the organizations and groups that addressed social issues and sought change for women were closely associated with the independence movement. The women?s movement during the 19th century in India emanated from the broader social reforms movement. Consequently, the 20th century freedom movement and women?s rights movement in the post-1970s has brought to the fore a wide range of women?s concerns. The subsequent events like the constitutional promise of gender equality, Towards Equality Report prepared by the Committee on the Status of Women in 1974 have surely promoted women?s concern to some extent. All these achievements were the result of women?s movement groups that worked for the promotion of women?s rights and equality. In the above-stated context, this paper also analysis the issues of women?s justice and equality taken up by women?s groups in pre and post-independent India.

This paper attempts to bring new women in Manju Kapur’s A Married Woman taking into account the hopefulness and frustration in domestic life. With diverse cultures, histories, and distinct forms of ethics and values, the women’s question, despite essential solidarity, needs to be tackled about the socio-cultural circumstances. The lives of women who survived and struggled under the suppressive mechanism of a restricted society can be manifested in the novels of Kapur. She has written fiction focusing on the predicament of contemporary women particularly in their struggle for empowerment and independence from the male- chauvinistic social structure. Now “Woman Question” is no longer a problem limited to the condition of women within the family or their rights to equality with men in different facets of social life. It is part of the total, far broader question considering the direction of change that Indian society is making - social, political, economic, and the intellectual viewpoint and examination of that process.

This article explores the concept of citizenship in relation to certain Aboriginal women, whose membership in First Nations is subject to Canadian federal legislation and First Nations constitutions and membership codes. In the struggle for decolonization, Aboriginal peoples use the language of rights - rights to self-determination, and claims of fundamental human rights. The state has injected its limited policy of ''self-government'' into this conversation, characterized by the federal government's preference for delegating administrative powers to Indian Act bands. Since the 1985 Indian Act revisions, bands have been able to control their membership. Where prior to 1985 the federal government implemented sexist, racist legislation determining band membership, now some bands have racist, sexist membership codes. In both cases, the full citizenship capacity of affected Aboriginal women, in either the colonial state or in First Nations, is impaired. The bands in question resist criticism by invoking rights claims and traditional practices; the federal government washes its hands in deference to self-government. The rights claims of affected women are scarcely acknowledged, much less addressed. Meanwhile, their citizenship in both dominant and Aboriginal communities is negotiated with the realities of colonialism, racism and sexism. Their experience demonstrates the limitations of citizenship theory and of Canadian citizenship guarantees.

Abstract The study examines the question of how personal self-esteem, collective self-esteem and readiness for self-improvement are linked to satisfaction with life in women from countries differing with regard to level of collectivism. Our study participants were Polish (less collectivistic) and Indian (more collectivistic) female students. The obtained results indicate that personal self-esteem plays a very important role in satisfaction with life of women from the two countries. However, collective self-esteem is not directly related to satisfaction with life among women from the two cultures analyzed. Structural Equation Modeling showed that: a) in the Indian group readiness for self-improvement is more important for satisfaction with life than in the Polish group and it is significantly related to satisfaction with life through collectivistic self-esteem, b) the direct influence of both personal and collective self-esteem on satisfaction with life is more significant in the Polish group than in the Indian group.

In this paper, I will attempt to interpret critically two mutually linked aspects of the philosophical work of Ksenija Atanasijevic. That is to say, my study will focus both on her elucidation of the ?emancipation of women? in Plato and Rufus, and on the life and work of the Greek women philosophers. Among these topics, the most important one is Plato?s argument in favor of the ?women?s emancipation?, which produced many controversial and mutually opposed interpretations. I will attempt to examine the interpretation of Ksenija Atanasijevic by comparing and contrasting it with the most relevant interpretations of this part of Republic. The purpose of this critical analysis is to establish how adequate and relevant Ksenija Atanasijevic?s readings of proto-feminist reflections of Plato and Rufus are, as well as that of Greek women philosophers.
