...Life of Sanjay Dutt Which Sanjay Dutt has been punished? The Mumbai blasts of 1993 left 257 people dead with its diverse cast of characters from film, crime and media had all the makings of a Russian novel. But it is time — the spans of time spent waiting for the verdict — that makes for the true protagonist of this story. Twenty years ago, Mumbai was still Bombay, and Sanjay Dutt was somewhere in his early thirties. He was a Bollywood brat then and now he is a middle aged man with three children. One of my friends remarked, the day after the judgment was passed against him, “While he is being punished on page one, he is pardoned on page three.” That made me think, like many Bollywood actors, Sanjay Dutt is also a combination of the real and imaginary. Then the question that arises is; which Sanjay Dutt are we punishing? Who is Sanjay Dutt? He is a child of cinema, a fact of cinema and a hybrid product of a city called Mumbai; a person who has layers to him and stands between simplicity and complexity. But the truth is that it does not take time to unravel these layers. So why wait? Let’s start. Sanjay’s parents, Nargis and Sunil Dutt, are legendary figures who loom large in the Indian cinema. Nargis played the role of Mother India and epitomized the myth of sacrifice. Her marriage to Sunil Dutt — a celluloid giant in his own right — represented the integrative myth of Bollywood, where Hindu and Muslim could come together. Their son Sanjay, was the offspring of that grand...

...Sunil Dutt knew he had to make up his mind fast. Later in the evening Anil Tripathi would be calling up, and Dutt was expected to give his final answer to Tripathi’s request for advising the large tube manufacturing complex at Indore. Dutt knew that the substantial monthly consultancy fees would provide much needed revenue for the Caltech team at Jamshedpur. By being away at Indore he would also avoid the constant clashes with his co-promoter A. Chakravarthy. But it would also mean that his absence could have a serious impact on the project implementation activities and jeopardize the basic idea with which he and his colleagues had left jobs and started their venture, Caltech. The Early Years Dutt was born in a middle class family in Jamshedpur, where his father was a doctor working with the Tatas. His father was a disciplinarian and inculcated values of hard work, integrity, family commitment and social consciousness in his children. Due to an untimely accident Dutt’s father had become incapacitated, and as the eldest child. Dutt was forced to accept partial responsibility for his younger brothers and sisters. He gave up his childhood dream of becoming an engineer, and instead started working with TISCO (now called Tata Steel) immediately after passing Intermediate Science.

...industries in the world. The first Indian movie was Raja Harishchandra and it was released in 1913, directed by Dadasaheb Phalke. In that era it was considered derogatory for females to work in movies. In 1930’s a new era was started with the introduction of “studio system”. It’s most successful early film “Devdas” (1935) was the product of the studio system with P.C. Barua as the main lead. Prabhat Film Company, founded by V. G. Damle, S. Fatehlal, Shantaram, and two other men in 1929, also tasted success during this period.

...My favorite Poet Throughout the twenty one years of my life. I have had the privilege of knowing about many poets and dramatists. However, there is one particular poet whose name is etched in my memory. Whenever somebody asks about my favorite poet, his name will automatically flash into my mind. He is Michael Madhusudan Dutt, was a popular 19th century Bengali poet, dramatist and the first sonnet writer in Indian Subcontinent. Michael Madhusudan Dutt was born in Jessore District, East Bengal, India (now in Bangladesh). His early schooling was in Bengali and Persian. In 1837 he entered Hindu College where most of his education was in English. Early exposure to English education and European literature at home and in Kolkata made him desire to emulate the proverbially stiff upper-lip Englishman in taste, manners and intellect. One of the early impressions was that of his teacher, Capt. D.L.Richardson at Hindu College. His adolescence, coupled with the spirit of intellectual enquiry convinced him that he was born on the wrong side of the planet, and that conservative Hindu society in early nineteenth century Bengal had not yet developed the spirit of rationalistic enquiry and appreciation of greater intellectual sophistry to appreciate his talents. He espoused the view that free thinking and post Enlightenment West would be more receptive to his intellectual acumen and creative genius. In this, perhaps he forgot the color of his skin, as he was to realize later on in life...

The amount actually advanced is in dispute. At that time the respondent was an infant; and he did not attain twenty-one until the month of September following. Throughout the transaction Brahmo Dutt was absent from Calcutta, and the whole business was carried through for him by his attorney, Kedar Nath Mitter, the money being found by Dedraj, the local manager of Brahmo Dutt. While considering the proposed advance, Kedar Nath received information that the respondent was still a minor; and on July 15, 1895, the following letter was written and sent to him by Bhupendra Nath Bose, an attorney:— “Dear Sir,—I am instructed by S.M.

Summary The poetess writes this in reminiscence of the Casuarina tree that grew in the courtyard of her childhood home. The poem opens with a description of the tree, tall enough to make it seem like it touches the stars, strong enough to continue growing despite scars on its trunk and despite all this it provides support to a creeper. And yet she gives it the air of a Gentleman when she describes how the tree is forever adorned with flowers and birds and bees. Thus we see the tree in her childhood was not only as a paragon of strength, but gentle and loved by the birds and bees. अब मीठे मना मत क जये सु एक गलास पानी म ल यह... को !हर बह म रोज २ पाउं घटाती ँय क म रात को सफ़ एक लास पीती ँ ड् स She goes on to tell us about the mornings in her childhood when she would wake up to the sight of the Casuarina Tree. Come summer or winter, her morning would remain incomplete without the sight of the Casuarina tree, often with a baboon sitting on its crest. She then paints a serene picture of the morning with the kokilas singing, the cows on the pasture and the water lilies in the spring. However, the figure of the Casuarina...

During the Mauryan period, Poundravardhana, corresponding northern Bengal, was the seat of culture and political activities; and in the third century B.C. both of Buddhism and Jainism were prevalent in northern Bengal. This Buddhist tradition continued for centuries up to the end of the Pala period.The period was marked by the establishment of some Buddhist colleges and universities, the remains of one of which still can be found at Paharpur. From the twelfth century, under royal patronage of the Sena rulers, there was the revival of Brahmanical Hinduism; and because of the introduction of Kulinism and torture on the Buddhists and Yogis, the path was made ready for the spread of Islam from the thirteenth century onward. With the elapse of time, Shaktism became very prominent in Bengal; and from the end of the fifteenth century, Vaishnavism also grew to be popular under the leadership of Shri Chaitanya...

Even if unlimited wireless bandwidth were suddenly to become available, service providers and terminal device manufacturers would have no assurance they could provide a high-quality streaming video experience, unless the architecture of the terminal device featured a solid foundation for the application and the processing capabilities to pull it off. To be able to cope with the demands of a streaming video application and the vagaries of wireless communication in general, a terminal device must have a unique blend of hardware and software especially well-suited to wireless streaming video [0]. 1.2 Research Problem: Fortunately, this dual-processor architecture is very well suited to wireless streaming video. Because of the strenuous demands of applications like streaming video, a partitioning of the application's tasks between the two processors is critical for several reasons. And second, assigning tasks to the appropriate processor will reduce...

A report in Global Financial Integrity stated that “illicit outflows increased from $1.06 trillion in 2006 to approximately $1.26 trillion in 2008” (Kar & Curcio, 2011). Illicit outflows consist of corruption, tax evasion, theft and embezzlement. Due to “abuse of entrusted power” corruption is difficult to measure and contain because of the human element. Even elected officials of a democracy will not always have a separation of duties, much less in authoritarian regimes. Due to this discrepancy there will typically be individuals that are susceptible to exploitation. In researching bilateral trade and corruption Dutt and Traca (2008) make a distinction between two types of corruption: ...On one hand, bureaucrat’s request bribes to do...

That is the India we know and love.

India is full of such places. My favourite is Kanchipuram, where the mutt of the Shankaracharya has a sizeable mosque next to it. What makes this spot so unique is that right across the street, sternly overlooking the mutt and the mosque, sits a bust of Periyar, the great atheist, iconoclast and the founder of the Dravida movement.

...KAMLA DAS’S `MY STORY’ AND HER STORIES IN HER POEMS:A STUDY Indian English literature has been making great strides during the last few decades thereby attracting the international attention. Infect, the post-independence period in the history of Indian English writing is generally equated with the modern period. It must be said in the light of all considerations that the post independence Indo- English prose and poetry has characteristics which make it distinctive and different from the writing of the earlier period. Indian women poets writing in English from Toru Dutt to Kamala Das reveal the mind boggling variety of themes as well as style that poetry is capable of offering. It needs to be remembered that poetry written by women need not be viewed only as feminist poetry. For the first time in Indian English poetry, the women poets of post- Independence and postmodern period portrayed in a subversive idiom their desires, lust, sexuality and gestational experiences. They enriched Indian English poetry with a wealth of new themes and experience. They developed a new innovative iconoclastic discourse to portray their repressed desires. Thus a new form of feminist poetry emerged and grew to give they Indian English poetry new strength, new diversity and new potent a new signs of maturity The women poets of the present century have surely and confidently come out of the romantic entanglements, of the claptrap of the past tradition and succeeded in formulating a new tradition...
