Swami Shraddhanad was a Hindu by birth and upbringing, had an affinity for Arya Same Practices, and transitioned from practicing law to the life of a Swami. His lifespan was likely short when measured in years, but his impact has been carried on by millions. His charitable work helped reorient thousands of lost Indians in their faith beliefs. Political thinkers and leaders of the period were rattled by his revolutionary Shuddhi Process and political ideas. His modern epistemology and didacticism were on display, even if his convictions would never be able to attain total clarity during his lifetime. His direct critique left Mr. Gandhi and many others perplexed. He used to be an attorney, but the current political climate in India has him very worried. He had a lot of thought put into things and was very religious. He was so moved by the Arya Samaj's ideology and teachings that he resolved to dedicate his life to spreading their message through education. Gandhi's work had a profound impact on Swami Shraddhanand, but he became disillusioned with the political climate and the role of Gandhi and Congress, and the guru chose to speak out against the alleged communal partiality of both. He was haunted by the Malabar incident and resolved to spend his life working for the benefit of Indian society.

A history of Hindu genocide is more than 1000 years old. It starts with the invasion by Arab, Mangol, Turk and Mughals. The prosperous Indian society, gender equality, deep knowledge, and fertile land captivated the minds of these nomads . The invaders not only brought their literature, architecture, food, food habits, fashion etc. but the barbarity, blood houndedness academia, necrophiliac mindset and avariciousness .
The peaceful Indian communities had always embraced the oppressed, displaced, and migrants. But they didn’t bargain for butchering, and mass conversion perpetrated by the newly arrived migrants..........

India, a country so rich in variety, never fails to inspire new ideas. The Epics, Upanishad, and Vedas not only provided the raw material for Indian mythology, but they also continue to pump life force through the bloodstream of modern Indians. There is a wealth of language, heritage, culture, and custom waiting to be born from the womb of history. The diversity of India exemplifies the grandeur of these hues. It is widely accepted that Indian writing is the world's oldest. The Hindu literary legacy has long been the dominant literary tradition in India. Art from the Vedas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata all represent these cultural norms. In early times, Tamil tongue is like the gopuram (entrance gateway) to a Hindu temple. The beauty of the faith, clothing, ornaments, food, and literature associated with the name floods our minds. The Tamil people have disseminated their heritage not just throughout the southern region of India, but all over the subcontinent. Tamilnadu's past can be broken down into the Chera, Pandaya, and Chola kingdoms. Both their period and the era in which they ruled are known as the Sangam Age and the Sangam Literature, respectively. Tamil history can point to the Sangam era as a watershed moment. According to etymologists, Sangam was borrowed from the Sanskrit term "Sangha," which refers to a brotherhood or a gathering of scholars 1. This means that the poets and scribes who created Sangam literature did so across three distinct epochs, each of which was supported by a separate Pandyan king. Western scholars have placed Sanatana Dharma, commonly known as Hinduism, in the fifth millennium B.C.E. (the Rig Veda date) at the close of the Sangam period (2nd-3rd centuries CE), the political situation in the Tamil country was chaotic. As a result of their conquest, the Kalabhras supplanted the previous order established by the three Tamil dynasties. Buddhism and Jainism were supported by these new kings and others. Silappatikaram's author Ilango Adigal, (a Jain or Buddhist-not clearly stated) like so many other Tamil poets, likely lived during this time. However, artifacts discovered in Jwalapuram, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, Chennai, and Poomphar place the origins of Tamil civilization anywhere from 300 B.C. to somewhere in the neighborhood of 75,000 years ago. According to Tamil literature, Lord Shiva predates the migration of Vaivastha Manu, the ancestor of Lord Rama, and was worshipped in the South for so long. Many passages from the Vedas, the Ramayana, the

Discourse requires a language with sufficient richness to enable the in-depth examination of concerns that accompany effective action. It's how we share information about the environment, build mental representations of it, theorise about its dynamics, probe our emotions, explain how things work, and even prescribe social interactions and behavioral norms. It's crucial since it facilitates the development of common mental models amongst individuals. Otherwise, it would be incredibly challenging to produce shared understanding of the objective reality that exists beyond our thoughts, and our relationships to one another would be so stifled that we hardly constitute a society at all. A new social reality must be built in order forcivilisation to progress, and language is the medium through which this new social reality is created. Basically, what we mean when we talk about "social reality" is the way in which our society's commonly accepted definitions of certain terms are really expressed in everyday life. However, one must keep in mind that language is a product of social reality and so a social construct. Therefore, it can be altered in the same way that other social norms are. When one language gives way to another, an entire culture shifts. Here we see the influence of language in the twentyfirst century. The language's versatility makes it useful not just for conveying ideas but also for eliminating old genres and generating brand new ones. This paper aims to bring attention to the need of maintaining native languages in the context of current woke discussions.

Indian Sensibility is an omnibus phrase; it includes the typical Karmic Samskara and mythical awareness that dominates the Indian racial sub-conscious. It also involves a certain manner of reacting to external stimuli, as well as a certain way of using language and idiomatic expressions. However, human sensibility -Indian or European - can never be a static phenomenon, it grows and changes with time. In the course of Indian English literature, artistic sensibility can be divided into two recognisable categories - Colonial and Post-Colonial. Colonial sensibility refers to the early stages of East -West confluence in the nineteenth century, that led to the Indian Renaissance. At this stage Indian poets like Derozio, Toru Dutta, Tagore and Sarojini Naidu looked back to ancient India as a lost Arcadia; they tried to revive the Indian Bhakti Tradition, and idolised India’s archetypal heroes and heroines......

The Vedic women are the prototype of chaste, high moral and an equipoise life. The divinity was the vital tool and it reflected in their behaviour. The influence is clearly visible in their day to day life, religious and in family life also. The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of examples from Mahabharata, of some immaculate women who set a different narrative for other women in the society. They created an extended form of feminine character for the upcoming generation. Also they exemplified that a particular modified life, different from specified Vedic women's life, can be a life of conviction, chivalry and blessedness because they were not the Goddesses but transcends. The purpose is to streamline the major/minor female characters of Mahabharata.My focus is not to criticise any particular sect of society. But to inform that every human story could have ended differently than how it actually did. This is a philanthropical inquiry of the pattern in Mahabharata, which is designed keeping the focus on Truth, Irony and flow of life .Because-1. The Truth of a particular woman for a specific situation may be conveyed in other women's lives in a different context. One's truth may be incomplete for other. 2. The personal focus may destroy or scatter the central focus. 3. Mahabharata is loaded with ironies. The irony of ones life may be an opportunity for others. Time keeps changing and it's always suggested to adjust accordingly. The circumstances which were there before thousands of years may not be relevant after that time. The impetus is to attain pinnacle the variant ways to counter the stereotyping of Women which were controversial to some extent but which is also Opera Omnia for modern women.They demanded, pretended, agitated, unsurpassed the illegal pressures of the society. They had the caliber to turn the table and demand the equal status and justice as of men.

Swami Shraddhananda College " If protesting against oppression is anti-Hindu and anti-national then I secede. I hereby declare myself an Independent, mobile republic. I am a citizen of the earth. I one no territory."(Guha, 2000) This is Arundhati Roy, needs no exemplary introduction to her personality. It speaks abundantly of itself. The gusty fiery lady has startled the world by her boldest ever comment. Today in the vast stretch of literary domain Arundhati Roy's name is the most prominent and highly renowned. She stepped into the zone with a loud bang and confirmed her stay with the promising 'Booker Prize' for her maiden novel 'The God Of Small Thing'. The book not only sojourn of Roy's journey in the segregated arena but also projects her as a writer enriched with multiple qualities.

India is diverse and rich in its ancient culture and traditions with multitude of languages, clothing, eatables and religious beliefs followed across all regions and sections of India. Concept of festivals are parts of our culture and religion that have various symbolic and cultural significance. These occasions often serve specific community objectives with respect to commemoration or thanking gods and goddesses. Majority of the Hindu festivals  are celebrated by all sections of society, but there are some that are celebrated by women only. Karvachauth is a unique festival that is celebrated by married women for longevity of life of their husbands. Karva-Chauth (करवाचौथ) is a famous festival celebrated by married women in most Indian states.

My presentation is about the search for alternative faiths that made Ambedkar think and finally adopt Buddhism. Ambedkar's search was not about religion but about his encounter with a religion, which would sent the needs of the untouchables of Hinduism.

The naturalistic historical novel took a new twist around the middle of the twentieth century. It was a turbulent era in American history, when the cold war was at its peak, America and Russia were pressing ahead for dominating world politics; and American society was faced with Black Rights movement led by moderates like Martin Luther King Jr. and militants like Malcolm X. This age saw literally history in the making, and novelists like Norman Mailer and E.L. Doctorow chose

The Man Within, Greene’s first published novel, represents the tone and temperament of his fiction of the thirties. It is Greene’s initial exercise as a novelist into the underworld of suffering, crime, vice and violence. The Man Within dramatises the tension in contemporary life, the changes affecting the world order and the individual life. At this stage, Greene’s religious vision is only shadowy as it lies in Andrews’ awareness of duality in his nature and vaguely in Elizabeth’s saintly attitudes.
The Man Within is a highly autobiographical novel. The Man Within, to quote Graham Smith, “is a gesture towards his (Greene’s) own past, the period of ambition and hope...” 1. That’s true, because Greene for the material of his novels relies partly on his personal experiences and partly on the imaginative skill. He believes:
“A writer’s knowledge of himself, realistic and unromantic is like a store of energy in which he must draw for a life time. One volt of it properly directed will bring a character alive.”2

On the name of religion and by the falsify preachings from sacred text  of Hindu religion women are exploited and consumed. With the denounced and manifested misinterpretations of Manusmriti by the so called elite, intellectuals incapsulated women especially in Hindu religion. Manusmriti is a text consider the path-decider(Code of law) for the Hindus. But the distorted translations and misinterpreted explanations situated the text as an Anti-Hindu book. The egalitarian era evaporates leaving the signs in term of Polygamy, Manipulation, Sexual harassment and deterioration, Child marriage, Widow burning(Sati), Purdaha Pratha has undergone some drastic changes due to commercialisation and Consumerization of the society.. keeping in view the present paper has the objectives-
1. To present the actual perspective of Manu.
2.To study the status and role of Indian women in Vedic period.
3.How the distorted interpretation set an Anti -Manu Narrative within the Hindu society especially amongst the Indian women.

Keywords- Manusmriti, Ordinances , Spirituality, Women by Manu.

The 1950's are called an angry decade in English literature. The term is partly related to Osbone's Look Back In Anger (1956). However, the phrase Angry Young Man originates from the title of Leslie Allen Paul's autobiography that appeared in 1951. It became a cult-figure, a critical catch-phrase, with the popularity of John Osborne's Look Back In Anger (1956). Three British novelists-Kingsley Amis, John Wain, and John Braine-also contributed to the growth of the angry phenomena

There are many civilisations in the world where status and respect for women and their role in society are prominent. Yet the level of civility along with moral, social and spiritual standard in a society can often be perceived by the respect and regard it gives for its women, not that glorifies their sexuality but gives them freedom, honour and protection in the society. There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a great revolution in the history of feminism. The evidences are everywhere. The voice for women reservation is mountaineering globally in general and particularly in Indian Parliament also. Since Pre-Vedic era the Indian women witnessed a high stature. They were great Orator, logically argumentative debater, Conquerors not in term of politics or wars but with the sense of administrator , wife , mother and instructor. They were treated as Goddess, the reflection of Laksmi, Annapurna, and as an ordinary human being, she was an Ideal daughters, a loveable companion, a determined mother and a dutiful daughter-in-law. But from enjoying free and esteemed position in the Post-Rigvedic society, women started being discriminated. The egalitarian era evaporates leaving the signs in term of Polygamy, Manipulation, Sexual harassment and deterioration. Child marriage, Widow burning(Sati), Purdaha Pratha has undergone some drastic changes due to commercialisation and Consumerization of the society.. keeping in view the present paper has the objectives-1.To study the status and role of Indian women in Vedic period. 2.Why a woman who was having a respectable and equal status, now needs laws for protection and equal status? When and Why her status was deteriorated ?

Indian Classical Literature is studied as Shruti and Smriti. For thousand of years. The literary system was transcendent in form of oral or written. The Sanskrit scriptures, Vedas were uttered. It was a usual aspect of life where the process of imparting education, knowledge, morals and ethics remain phonetic. The Gurus along with the disciples recited the Mantras several times and special impetus was given on the pronunciation. This methodology further sustained the quality of the knowledge imparted. There was no separate system for the study of martial arts, Politics, Economy or any other subject. During the post Vedic/Vedantic age, the process of documentation was initialised. Historical records identify the scriptures or sacred books in native/nomadic language. Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas and Upanishads are certain examples for the same.

Classical Buddhism-"Rise from dreamland loiter not, Open to truth thy mind, Practice righteousness and thou Eternal bliss shalt find." It was the Buddha himself who reportedly observed: ' Whoso sees the Dharma (the subject-matter of his teaching), he sees me; whoso sees me sees the Dharma. .. Seeing the Dharma he sees me; seeing me, he sees the Dharma...'. These are clearly written lines , delivering a message of appropriateness and enlightenment of inner soul. The school of Buddhism evolved in the eastern part of India in 563 BCE. More or less at the same time (in & around 550 BCE) another school, Jainism, with almost similar thoughts, was developing in the other part of India. Buddhism is a way of finding peace within oneself. It is a religion that helps us to find the happiness and contentment we seek. Buddhists develop inner peace, kindness and wisdom through their daily practice; and then share their experience with others bringing real benefit to this world. They try not to harm others and to live peacefully and gently, working towards the ultimate goal of pure and lasting happiness for all living beings.
