...identified with one another and supported the discrimination of colonized men. Exceptions to this social routine are evident with characters from Mangal Pandey: The Rising, A Passage to India, and My Beautiful Laundrette. In Mangal Pandey, Pandey and Officer Gordon develop a unique relationship that is often tested by the lack of respect for Indian customs by the British. A Passage to India shows the relationship between Dr. Aziz and Mr. Fielding, which demonstrates the complications of maintaining English identity without succumbing to the exploitation of Indians. A homosexual relationship between Omar and Johnny during the Thatcher Era in Britain is shown in My Beautiful Laundrette. Although the first two films are set in colonized India, they both draw parallels to the difficulties of having a biracial male relationship during post-colonial England. My Beautiful Laundrette also uses the most fascinating cinematic craft to portray male bonding by using unique camera angles and shots in combination with a relevant soundtrack. Based on historical events, Mangal Pandey encompasses a pivotal period for British presence in India. It is vital to understand the strategy of the British in order to analyze a relationship between a British officer and an Indian male. The British acknowledged that they were outnumbered by Indians and used sepoys, or Indian men under British military authority, to maintain control in large regions1. All British officers were superior to sepoys,...

...By: Nakhat Perveen M.A. Previous 1st Sem ARSD College, UDSC Mentor: Christel Rashmi Devadawson SHAKESPEARE IN BOLLYWOOD Nakhat Perveen William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist whose work is liked by all film-maker to bring down on screen. According to Robert Hamilton Ball, Shakespeare’s dramas were considered ideal material for cinema in the early 20th century because the presence of Shakespeare on film raised the contemporary estimation of film. Almost all of his works have been adapted on screen in Hollywood and all other film industries. Hollywood has produced around 300 movies based on Shakespeare’s plays and characters. Films based on tragedies like Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet etc., have got very good response by the audience on the silver screen. In Bollywood also many directors adopted the work of Shakespeare. But Vishal Bhardwaj through his films showed that he is the true fan of Shakespeare and knows well how to do justice with the work of such a big writer on silver screen. His film Maqbool (2003) based on Macbeth, and Omkara (2006) based on Othello left very remarkable impression on audience’s hearts. Maqbool had its North American premiere at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival. Though the film failed to entice much of an audience during its theatrical run in India, critics were appreciative and Pankaj Kapoor...

...SLAVES By Viamonte Lee A Case Study Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements for the Course Humanities in the World since 1300 at The University of Akron. March 5, 2015 Introduction This is an analysis of slavery based on two stories: The History of Mary Prince and Semsigul. In addition, there is comparison and contrast of the two stories along with supporting or dissenting arguments offered in the Overfield readings with regards to slavery in the Spanish colonies. The perspective of this analysis looks at the following aspects of coerced labor: 1. The relationship between the master and the slave 2. The struggle of the slaves against the slavery system 3. The impacts of the slavery system on the health of the slaves The Mary Prince account is autobiographical hence, although in her own voice, there may be some liberties given to the facts and conflicts of interest when delivering details of her story objectively. In addition, there may be some instances where she would have a limited perspective. By contrast, Semsigul’s story is her testimony within a police report –just facts and answers to questions. Alonso Zorita speaks on behalf of the indigenous in his account of Indian forced labor in the Spanish colonies. His accounts will be used to further compare and contrast the two main perspectives. The Relationship...

...Bangladesh and international, I have followed different Acts and Convention. INTRODUCTION The attempt to settle a legal dispute through active participation of a third party (mediator) who works to find points of agreement and make those in conflict agree on a fair result. Mediation differs from arbitration in which the third party (arbitrator) acts much like a judge but in an out-of-court less formal setting but does not actively participate in the discussion. Mediation has become very common in trying to resolve domestic relations disputes (divorce, child custody, visitation), and is often ordered by the judge in such cases. Mediation also has become more frequent in contract and civil damage cases. There are professional mediators, or lawyers who do some mediation for substantial fees, but the financial cost is less than fighting the matter out in court and may achieve early settlement and an end to...

...IRWLE VOL. 6 No. II July 2010 1 Mirror-Writing: Social-realism O.Henry and Prem Chand in the short stories of - Tanweer Jehan All writers are true inheritors and by virtue of their creative power contribute in the very process of inheritance. They take whether consciously or not, what their predecessors pass on to them, through the great treasure house of thought and feeling registered in their works. Then from their space in time and place, the socio-political conditions of the immediate world influencing their creativity and their contribution in turn, impact the lives of people ; individual lives and also certain section or class of society. This becomes more evident in times of political or socio-economic crises in the lives of nations when they are fighting for freedom, civil rights or some major changes are taking place in the social or political structure of society. Writers as social-realists reflect and thus cause changes in the society at a given point in time. This makes their writings more relevant and valuable for the future generations. 19thcentury and early 20thcentury witnessed this paradigm shift across cultures and literature written there around saw it projected with sincerity and firmness of purpose. In this article I take to find the changes that were taking place and how these were faithfully reflected in the short narrative writings of two master narrators, about their respective cultures and socio-political inheritance-O.

...Handbook on International Moot Court Competitions Preparation & Research Methodology This Handbook is intended to serve as a starting point in the preparation for International Moot Court Competitions. In doing so, it explains what international mooting is, the research methodology involved and the most useful resources available for its preparation. It also provides for the approach one needs to adopt in both oral and written requirements of an international competition which significantly differ from national mooting. The objective behind providing this Handbook is the institutionalisation of standard mooting practices. To this end, it documents the most commonly agreed to and widely followed methods of mooting. It needs to be emphasised that this Handbook is not exhaustive on the areas it touches upon. It is presumed and expected that the reader would go well beyond this Handbook in the course of his/her preparation. The following words of Oscar Wilde express this quite succinctly "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that that which is worth knowing cannot be taught." Contents 1. Areas of Law involved 2. Difference between International Law & Municipal Law 3. Difference between International Law Dispute Resolution and Municipal Law Adjudication 4.

...ularism Modern Myths, Locked Minds by T. N. Madan Introduction: Scope, methods and Concepts 1. Secularization, secularism, Christian tradition and the Enlightenment: a brief history T. N. Madan differentiates between secularism, secularization and secularity. 1) Secularization refers to socio cultural processes in which the role of the sacred is progressively limited; 2) Secularism is the ideology that argues for the historical inevitability and progressive nature of secularization everywhere and 3) Secularity is the resultant state of society. The term "secularism" was first used by the British writer Holyoake in 1851 to describe his views of promoting a social order separate from religion. The English word ‘secular’ comes from the Latin ‘saeculum’, which means ‘an age’ or ‘the spirit of an age’ and has the same meaning as the Greek ‘aeon’. In general terms, secularism means “belonging to this age, or worldly” along with a denial of other worldly realities (i.e. religious). The Bible introduces the idea of divine creation in the book of Genesis. God speaks directly to Man in Genesis: “Be fertile and increase, fill the earth and master it”. As Peter Berger, a social theorist notes that in this the idea of a secular world is sown as a God who stands outside of the Cosmos which is his creation. This opens the way for self making activity which Berger calls ‘historization’. Caesar was the emperor of Rome. In a famous passage Jesus said, "Render to Caesar the things...

...him unable to communicate by signs. Doctor Robinson again declares the duke and the dauphin to be frauds and has the crowd bring the real and the fraudulent Wilks brothers to a tavern for examination. The frauds draw suspicion when they fail to produce the $6,000 from the Wilks inheritance. A lawyer friend of the deceased then asks the duke, the dauphin, and the real Harvey to sign a piece of paper. When the lawyer compares the writing samples to letters he has from the real Harvey, the frauds are exposed. The dauphin, however, refuses to give up and claims that the duke is playing a joke on everyone by disguising his handwriting. Because the real William serves as scribe for the real Harvey and cannot write due to his broken arm, the crowd cannot prove that the real Wilkses are indeed who they say they are. To put an end to the situation, the real Harvey declares he knows of a tattoo on his brother’s chest, asking the undertaker who dressed the body to back him up. But after the dauphin and Harvey each offer a different version of the tattoo’s appearance, the undertaker surprises everyone by telling the crowd he saw no tattoo. The mob cries out for the blood of all four men, but the lawyer instead sends them out to exhume the body and check for the tattoo themselves. The mob carries the four Wilks claimants and Huck with them. The mob is in an uproar when the $6,000 in gold is discovered in the coffin. In the excitement, Huck escapes. Passing the Wilks house, he notices a light...

...ONE AN INDIAN PILGRIM OR AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS. COM WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS.COM PREFACE The NetaJi Publishing Society has great pleasure in presenting to the public the unfinished utobiography of`Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Netaji wanted to give his autobiography, when completed, the title "An Indian Pilgrim". That is how his autobiography derives the name. "An Indian Pilgrim" takes the reader from Netaji’s parentage, birth and early childhood to his Cambridge days—and what days !—when a youngman of 24 had to make up his mind either to take a path, strewn with roses, which promised nothing but ease, luxury and official honour, or a path, strewn with thorns, inviting one to selfless suffering and sacrifice and promising nothing more than blood, sweat and tears. The result of the struggle is known to the world. But only handful have had the privilege to know the different phases of that struggle. Perhaps it was not in 1921 but a decade earlier that the battle within had been won and lost. Perhaps even earlier! That is a poser which we leave to the readers. But one thing is certain that the Rashtrapati and the Rebel President, the Desh Gaurab and the Netaji, the creator of the First Government of the Free India and the beloved leader of the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Parsees, had been moulded between 1897 and 1921. This is the period covered by "An Indian Pilgrim". It is the masterly analysis of a Humanitarian...
