Abstract

Deprived of high social interactions, the underground man from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground tries to relate to the world according to the codes of human ethical and social requirement. In the present research, through a socio-psychological approach delves into the exploration Dostoyevsky's heavy reliance on the use of socio-psychological realism, showing in the process the intricate interplay between psychology, sociology and literature. The novella is an offshoot philosophy of Hegel, Nietzsche, Sartre, Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Marx from common query of truth and disharmony between desire and anxiety. There is no reason, but only rational approach; behind every rational formula there is a critique; behind every generalization there is investigation. There are no rational patterns to understand rather a deceptive mask that the universe has all over and it is susceptible to break. According to Dostoevsky reason leads man to disassemble from hope. The present paper discusses the socio-physiological critique of the "Underground man".

Abstract

Polyhouse cultivation of vegetables is emerging as a specialized production technology to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses and to break the seasonal barrier to production. It also ensures round the year production of highvalue vegetables, like capsicum, especially, during off-season. Cost is the major issue in sustaining this technology. The present study examined the economic viability of production of capsicum and tomato in a naturally ventilated polyhouse of medium cost category with drip irrigation system. Data were generated by cost accounting method for estimating the feasibility of production and was analyzed by using project evaluation methods, like Pay Back Period (PBP), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Cultivation of capsicum in a polyhouse was found to be highly feasible as reflected in higher values of NPV (Rs.3,23,145/500 m²), BCR (1.80) and IRR (53.7%) with payback period of less than two years. Breakeven price for capsicum production in a polyhouse (Rs.11.80/kg) was lesser than average wholesale price. Production of tomato in a polyhouse was found not feasible, as the breakeven price was more than the average market price and all the project appraisal parameters indicated that it was not feasible. Only at about 48% premium price over the prevailing market price or reduction of cost of polyhouse structure by 60% from Rs.400 to Rs.160 /m², could make the tomato production viable in a poly house.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the changing trends in Indian writing in English with special reference to modern writers. During the seventy years of its effective history Indian writing in English crossed many milestones and has come to be finally accepted as a major literature of the world. However, a study of the popular English fiction in India is a study of the expectations and trends of the masses at present which has again follow western and more specifically global issues relevant in personified drama. The local and international events leave a trace in an average Indian's lifestyle which in turn will be reflected in his tastes. It is also an analysis of the trans-cultural standard of the society. The paper explores new identities that Indian English writers lost sometime and tries to bring the elegance and grandeur of Indian English.
