THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE: REALLY “THE MAN OF CHARACTER”

Abstract

Thomas Hardy, a Victorian realist, is one among the foremost creative writers, who made significant contributions to the lives of English people and English literature. Much of his work deals with the declining rural society, specially focusing on the struggles of all shades of Wessex peasants. Hardy’s characters are unforgettable. They stay enshrined in the hearts of sensitive souls. Hardy’s narrative powers, his powerful language, his sense of outrage at social injustice and his depiction of the English countryside make him an all time favourite.
Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge is a satirical novel meditating on the development of personal loss during the course of life. The novel is dominantly a satire on political and personal issues. The novel deals with some of the major humanistic issues prevalent in the nineteenth century England. Hardy chronicles the same through the character of Henchard. Henchard, the protagonist of the novel travels through different phases in his life where the persons and situations that he comes across outline one or another aspect of social life of nineteenth century England. The carefree attitude, the lack of ambition and a sense of inadequacy that he experiences during the initial stages of his life, his sense of disillusionment with life in general and in matters of love in particular, the irrelevance of the institution of marriage substantiated through the marital life of Henchard—these are some of the prominent attributes of life of nineteenth century England and Hardy has convincingly portrayed the same through the character of Henchard.
Keywords – Hardy – economic condition – marriage – nineteenth century – The Mayor of Casterbridge.

IS HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA AT THE CROSSROADS??

Abstract

“Higher education” is today fast becoming a “commodity” by its very nature and is being strutted as a “package” which rids the educated from the ills of unemployment and poverty. The process of commercialization of education is paradoxically leading to its self destruction, and corrupting young minds through grossly mismanaged educational systems. This paper describes out a highly critical scenario of the higher education system in India, which the author believes is at the cross roads and is plagued by an uninspired/ill equipped academia, shortages in funding, progressively consumer driven market, entry of private enterprise, globalization and a variety of other concerns amidst the issue of long pending reforms which urgently needs to be addressed to bring about a meaningful restructuring of Indian higher education system and also provides critical perspectives on and valuable insights into, several issues concerning tertiary education that have not been examined so closely and argues the reflections over a period of higher education system that changes. India has one of the largest systems of higher education in the world. Since independence it has enormously expanded in terms of quantity and diversity of fields of knowledge. However, it has remained relatively unchanged insofar as the structure, the system of management and even functional objectives are concerned.

Key words: Education, Literacy, management.

EDUCATIONAL STATUS OF VAN GUJJARS IN UTTARAKHAND

Abstract

Education is a forceful instrument to change the values and attitude of people and to create in them the urge of necessary motivation to achieve social class ascendency and social mobility. Education transmits the culture from one generation to another. An integration of the old must take place with the new ones. The communities live in the present, on the past and for the future. This means that activities and experiences in the present have to be built on the past and the present will guide the activities of the future as education is the continuous reorganization and integration of the activities and experiences. “Education is a liberating force and in our age it is also a democratizing force cutting across the barriers of caste and class, something out of inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances…”(Indira Gandhi). Education as a means of advancement of capacity, well –being and opportunity is uncontested and more so among communities on the periphery of obligations”
One such community is of Van-Gujjars which is involved in animal husbandry and lives in forests of Uttarakhand, Himachal and Jammu&Kashmir. It is one of the most backward communities in our country and due to absence of education the Van-Gujjars are suffering from backwardness, social and economic disabilities. Van-Gujjars who generally live an isolated life are not treated well, nor cooperated with in time of need, which leads them to the back foot and restricts their admittance to the Government schemes. The community is in the grip of age-old culture, which affects it in many ways. Many of the traditional social evils are still prevalent among them. The youth and awakened people from the community wish to get out of it and some of them have even initiated the process.
Indian Government has put lot of efforts for their upliftment. In the last few decades the condition of life has changed in many ways for the pastoral Van Gujjar who have their winter camps in the interior of the forests of the Shiwalik foot hills of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand in northern India. The paper attempts to study the educational status of the families of Van-Gujjar students especially in Haridwar district of Uttarakhand.
