Suddha Sattwa Kar, Dr. Anil Kumar JaiswalAbstract: The fundamental goal of college libraries and college librarians is to meet the needs of library users. It is common to hear complaints from college library customers who are unsatisfied with library services, library collections, library staff attitude, or library infrastructure. So the main aim of the study is to find out the users satisfaction regarding library collections provided by the government college libraries. Keeping a close eye on this issue and the significant relevance of Economics discipline in today's globalised world, this survey was conducted, which is limited to library users, including librarians, normal students, and permanent teaching staff of the Economics department. The result of the study is shows that people were unsure whether to collect rare books in the ‘satisfied category' or 'undecided category'. More than half of respondents at Government College libraries were dissatisfied with the collection of referred, indexed, and peer reviewed print journals. In contrast, a sample of other reputable publications revealed the same proportion of satisfied and dissatisfied users. Most respondents were satisfied with the availability of former exam papers. |

Dr Gitam SinghAbstract: Makarand Paranjape in his review of Bruce King’s Modern Indian English Poetry deliberates on how King’s critical work seemingly authenticated and legitimized the canon of Indian English poetry, focusing only on poets belonging to specific geographical location- Bombay. In 1970s when the process of anthologization commenced, only a dozen or so Indian English poets attained validation, relegating many other meritorious poets to the periphery. As the process of anthologization and canonization are two facets of the same coin, publishing houses like Macmillan and Oxford University Press that captured the Indian literary scene in 1970s brought out Contemporary Indian English Poetry (1972) and Ten Twentieth Century Indian Poets (1976), respectively, shaping a canon of Indian English poetry, which till date remains unquestioned and unchallenged. This coterie of poets essentially belonged to Bombay and therefore the canon of Indian English poetry seemingly became increasingly geographically centric. However, in 1970s, P. Lal also engaged himself in publishing anthologies, and, ostensibly, his endeavors were towards the establishment of an anti-canon. In 1972, when Macmillan brought out its anthology, housing the following poets- Ezekiel, Ramanujan, P. Lal, Kolatkar, Parthasarathy, Katrak, Daruwalla, Kamala Das, Gauri Deshpande, Mamta Kalia, Adil Jussawala, Gieve Patel, A.K. Mehrotra and Saleem Peeradina- P. Lal, in 1974, brought out Indo- English Poetry in Bengal, edited by K.C. Lahiri. The poets that it included were- Margaret Chatterjee, Harindranath Chattopadhyay, Sukanta Chaudhuri, Prafulla Ranjan, Ira De, Rupendra Guha Majumdar, Dhan Gopal Mukherjee, etc. This anthology was allegedly an answer to Macmillan’s Bombay centric anthology. Lahiri’s anthology included forty-six Indian English poets who primarily belonged to Bengal. Ostensibly, this was Lal’s answer to the exclusive canon of Indian English poetry. Absence of any Bengali poet in the canon was jarringly blatant, and this was befittingly answered by Lal. In the Preface, Lal writes, “The inspiration behind the preparation of this anthology of English verse composed by Bengalis has been the distinctive character of the aesthetic appeal and emotive responses of the poets rather than regional parochialism” (Lal xv). This statement of Lal further brings the argument of the identity of Indian English poetry in the post- independence India. Ostensibly, the canon of Indian English poetry was fixated on the idea of forming a single identity, concentrating essentially on the concept of “Indianness”. This overemphasis on forming a single identity did not only obscure the surfacing of myriad themes and issues which were being discussed by many other non-canonical poets but also circumscribed the parameters of the canon of Indian English poetry, withholding further promulgation, growth and development of this genre. This paper therefore argues that instead of focusing on forming a single identity, Indian English poetry should be an amalgamation of multiple identities. India, being a land of pluralities, should not have such a representation in the canon of Indian English poetry which demonstrates only one single identity. Therefore, the idea of representation of Bengal identity must be included in the canon. This paper, while discussing K.C. Lahiri’s Indo English Poetry in Bengal, will put forward the aforementioned arguments. It will argue for the inclusion of Bengal poets in the canon of Indian English poetry, furthering the case of the canon of Indian English poetry to be more inclusive in its outlook. |

Dr Shakira KhatoonAbstract: In this socially and economically stratified world, gender and class (and Caste also, in the context of India specifically) are the two major divisive forces that have rendered large sections of population powerless and hence marginalized and oppressed. “Arundhati Roy, the first Indian woman author to win the prestigious Booker Prize in 1997 for her novel “The God of Small Things”, has a keen eye to observe such issues pervading Indian society”. This study will delve into the nuances of such gender and class discrimination as portrayed by Roy in her novel, highlighting the plight of women and lower castes (may be taken as congruent to economically lower classes also) in India through the characters of Mammachi, Ammu and Velutha. The paper will try to bring forth the fact that patriarchal mindset is not confined in its exercise to men alone, but may take women also into its folds by creating power hierarchies within the gender. |

Dr Alka SharmaAbstract: This paper examines Henry David Thoreau’s Walden through a Gandhian perspective, highlighting the shared critique of modern civilization by both thinkers. Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi rejected the materialistic, mechanized nature of modernity which they viewed as morally and spiritually degenerative, despite its superficial comforts. Drawing from their philosophies, the study argues that modernity remains an “incomplete project” unless it integrates the ethical, cultural and philosophical values of traditional life. Thoreau’s experiment at Walden Pond embodied self-reliance, simplicity and harmony with nature, paralleling Gandhi’s austere lifestyle at Sabarmati Ashram. Both emphasized the three necessities like food, shelter and clothing which are free from excess and promoted vegetarianism, manual labour and minimalism as pathways to spiritual elevation. While not rejecting all aspects of modern civilization, they contended that technological progress without moral advancement enslaves rather than liberates. This paper asserts that true civilization lies in moral conduct, self-restraint and the pursuit of inner contentment over external luxury. By blending the best aspects of modernity with the enduring values of tradition, humanity can avoid the self-destructive tendencies of materialism and achieve genuine happiness and progress. |

Dr. Tarit Agrawal, Kaushambi,Abstract: Jhumpa Lahiri\\\\\\\'s fiction is a poignant exploration of the immigrant experience, delving into the intricate emotional landscapes of individuals navigating the complexities of displacement and cultural hybridity. While themes of alienation and solitude are prominent in her narratives, Lahiri masterfully portrays these seemingly negative states as also fostering a unique form of intimacy – an inward journey of self-discovery and the forging of unexpected connections amidst the vastness of exile. Her characters, often caught between the familiar embrace of their heritage and the often-unwelcoming reality of their adopted land, find themselves in a paradoxical space where isolation breeds introspection and a distinct, albeit often painful, understanding of themselves and the world around them. The initial experiences of Lahiri\\\\\\\'s immigrant characters are often marked by a profound sense of alienation. Ashima in The Namesake, upon arriving in America, feels a deep disconnect from her surroundings. The unfamiliar customs, the absence of familial support, and the sheer foreignness of the landscape contribute to a feeling of being perpetually adrift. This alienation is not merely geographical; it permeates her emotional and psychological being, creating a chasm between her past and her present. Similarly, in Interpreter of Maladies, many of the characters, whether recent arrivals or long-term residents, grapple with a sense of not fully belonging, of being perpetual outsiders in a land that is not truly their own. This feeling of being unrooted can lead to intense solitude, as characters struggle to find their place and connect authentically with those around them. |
