THE CONCEPT OF EMANCIPATED AND SELF-RELIANT WOMEN IN DR. RITU KAMRA KUMAR’S THE PRICELESS PETALS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE SECTION “FEMININE FINESSE”
Author: Sumita Kanwar

Women‟s status in a society is an important parameter to measure the progress made by a nation. Today is an era of equality wherein gender disparities are fast fading away. The modern women have come a long way following an arduous path to make their presence felt in almost all spheres of life. With their diligence and dedication they have opened up multiple arenas of avenues for themselves and as such they are moving ahead in life with their heads held high. The impressive strides made by women in male-dominated domains were evident at this years‟ Republic Day parade where their tri-service contingent led the impressive march past on Kartavya Path and female pilots enthralled the spectators with the fly-past. Women nowadays are holding key positions in almost all spheres of life be it politics, administration, social activism and even corporate sector. They are making their presence felt in the hitherto unchartered arenas defying stereotyped roles and making sustained efforts to reshape their destiny. The present paper makes an attempt to analyze the concept of the confident, independent and liberated woman in Dr. Ritu Kamra Kumar‟s “The Priceless Petals “with emphasis on the section “Feminine Finesse”.
Keywords: Equality, Diligence, Dedication, Emancipated, Self-Reliant

PATANJALI’S YOGA SUTRAS AND POST-MODERN SPIRITUAL REVIVAL
Author: Shristi Malkoti

The contemporary society is marked by a period of rapid materialisation, as people are reduced to commodities, the humanity is suffering from moral and ethical deprivation and is on verge of a breakdown. The loss in faith, hopelessness and existential dilemma the masses are suffering from is due to the dreadful, monotonous, meaningless daily routine. The technological development has further isolated individuals, rather than bringing them together. The world is moving fast towards its demise as it stands on the brink of becoming a wasteland of broken hopes and dreams of a once glorious civilization which held one of the brightest minds to ever exist.
Spirituality to the post-modern world offers solace and more than anything answers to their moral dilemmas caused due to the troubled, restless existence. It provides humanity with solutions that would help them escape misery and find peace within, even though the world around them is in shambles.
This research article will talk of the past centuries during which the materialistic and hedonistic society gained prominence, which caused the decline of spirituality and its further evolution in the post-modern era when it was sought after as being the saviour of the humanity. With reference to Yoga philosophy stated in Patanjali‟s Yoga Sutras, a classical text compiled by the yogic sage Patanjali which consists of the holy grail for humanity as it talks about how a human can escape the illusionary world of Maya and realise the glory of the true Self by conquering the ills of alienation and Ignorance. It will provide one with facts regarding how implementing spiritual studies can improve the quality of human life and help him conquer his mind and lead a peaceful existence.
Keywords- Spirituality, Karma, Yoga Sutras, Patanjali, alienation

W.H. AUDEN AS THE VOICE OF THIRTIES: A CRITICAL OVERVIEW
Author: Dinesh Kumar

No other decade ever witnessed the debate with such passionate convictions over great issues
such as Fascism and Communalism, Liberal democracy and socialism, pacificism and
militarism, moral traditionalism and progressivism, as did the nineteen thirties. The period
opening with the great depression of 1929, and ending with the German invasion of Poland in
1939, which signaled the outbreak of the disastrous World War II, was highly disturbed
witnessing the hunger marches, the mass rallies, the countrywide unemployment, the ruthless
oppressions, protests and wars.
Under such circumstances, it was W.H. Auden with the advent of who on the literary scene,
the depiction of such conditions found their lively picture in his poetry. Unlike Yeats,
Lawrence, Eliot Pound, W.H. Auden never looked back to the past as a period of classical
perfection where life was unified and hierarchy secure, and whenever he looks back in to
history, it is not as nostalgic recapitulation, but for seeking the causes which led to present
condition as says Mendelson: “Everything that was more distinctive about Auden can be
traced back to his absorption in the present.”
Cleanth Brooks himself finds Auden’s poetry revealing “the structure of inclusion, with a
maxim density and firmness and with no grib over simplication.”
Key-words: Anarchy, oppression, unemployment, nostalgia, dehumanization, mechanization,
regimentation.

NATURE AS A SOLACE IN PATRICK WHITE’S NOVEL “THE TREE OF MAN
Author: Avlokita Sodhi, Amit Dhawan

This article explores the reassuring power of nature from the perspectives of the characters in
Patrick White's novel The Tree of Man. The Tree of Man is the fourth book written by awardwinning Australian author and Nobel Prize recipient Patrick White. White's talent as a
storyteller and his in-depth analysis of the human condition in the middle of Australia's wild
landscapes are both evident in this ground-breaking masterpiece, released in 1955. In the
book, Stan Parker, his wife Amy, and their kids live in rural Australia in the early 20th
century. White's art skilfully combines a realistic yet poetic portrayal of bush life to convey
the essence of the area's change throughout the course of a typical man's lifetime. Through
the epic saga of the Parker family, White immerses readers in a world rich in emotional
depth, beauty, and complexity, leaving a lasting influence on Australian literature. Using an
eco-psychological lens, the study looks at how the natural world symbolizes the
interconnectedness of all living things and becomes a vital component of human existence.
Nature provides solace and tranquillity to characters from many origins, transcending
financial divides. Eco-psychology is a modern movement that seeks to balance the
relationship between humans and the Earth while acknowledging the profound impact that
ecological interactions have on people's physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological
well-being. This study clarifies the harmonious and balanced eco-human connection shown in
The Tree of Man by analysing the text using an eco-psychological framework, highlighting
the timeless potency of nature's reassuring influence.

MATERIAL CONCERNS IN R.K NARAYAN’S SELECTED POST-INDEPENDENCE FICTION: AN ANALYSIS
Author: Nagendra Bahadur Khatri

ABSTRACT
The treatment of social and national issues from humanistic, realistic and authentic point of
view has been the major trait in R.K Narayan‟s works. His fiction published after
independence focus on the dilemmas of post-independence realities. Like most of the Indian
writers writing in English during early post-independence times, when India was learning to
cope with a new condition of independence, Narayan too wrote fiction that was in sync with
the new emerging condition. Like his contemporaries, Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao, he too
chose to represent the socio-cultural ethos of his times but refrained from political statements
or involvement. Some of his works especially The Financial Expert, The Guide and The
Vendor of Sweets focus on the rise of material concerns in post-Independence fiction, and
these works have been taken in the present paper. The lingering impact of western ways of
life and thinking have also been explored in this paper. Fictional reworking of history and
mythology has also been rediscovered by him in this period. National boundary as well as
national identity too occupy his attention during this period. There is a discernible shift from
his pre-Independence novels in which familial and simple problems of the characters build
the narrative to material concerns in many of his post-independence novels. The fiction
undertaken in this paper are-The Financial Expert (1952), The Guide (1958), The Vendor of
Sweets (1967).
Keywords: Materialism, Post-Independence Writing, Western Influence

LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND IDENTITY: THE EVOLUTION OF KANNADA HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Author: Kumaraswamy. T

ABSTRACT
The history of Karnataka is inseparably intertwined with the evolution of the Kannada
language and its literary traditions. From the early inscriptions of the Kadambas and
Chalukyas to the sophisticated poetic works of Pampa, Ranna, and Janna, Kannada has
served as a medium not only of artistic expression but also of historical consciousness. This
article explores how the growth of Kannada literature contributed to the shaping of cultural
identity and collective memory in Karnataka. During the medieval period, the devotional
movements led by the Vachana poets and Haridasa saints expanded the reach of Kannada,
embedding social reform and philosophical ideas into the language. Literary works became
powerful instruments in articulating regional pride, resisting external domination, and
strengthening political legitimacy under dynasties such as the Hoysalas and Vijayanagara
rulers. The colonial encounter and the nationalist period further redefined Kannada identity,
as writers and intellectuals invoked the past to demand linguistic recognition and political
unity. By tracing this continuum, the article highlights the dynamic interplay between
language, literature, and identity in Karnataka, showing how Kannada became both a cultural
symbol and a historical force in shaping regional consciousness.
Keywords: Kannada literature, Karnataka history, cultural identity, historical consciousness,
Vachana movement, regional pride, language and society
