Nationalism as a value is constantly rebuilt through legend making and selective arbitrary iconization / idealisation. Here, literature becomes an enabling medium to critically redefine these nationalist icons, liberating us from intimidating epic expectations by looking at the varied narratives. My paper aims to highlight such complexities underpinning the national identities of Indian past and also, as to how these personalities are re-figured in the post-nationalist discourse. I intend to foreground the rewriting of Tipu Sultan a historical figure, through a re-reading of H.S. Shiva Prakash’s play Tipu Sultan.

Identification approach to provide authentication and confidentiality in a broker-less and confidentiality are the main objective of any distributed system the pub/sub system. Our approach allows subscribers to maintain credentials according to their subscriptions. Private keys assigned to the subscribers are labeled with the credentials. A publisher associates each encrypted event with a set of credentials. We adapted identity-based encryption (IBE) mechanisms 1) to ensure that a particular subscriber can decrypt an event only if there is a match between the credentials associated with the event and the key; and 2) to allow subscribers to verify the authenticity of received events. 1) Extensions of the cryptographic methods to provide efficient routing of encrypted events by using the idea of searchable encryption, 2) “Multicredential routing” a new event dissemination strategy which strengthens the weak subscription confidentiality, and 3) a thorough analysis of different attacks on subscription confidentiality.

Service sectors such as banking, healthcare, hospitals, retail etc in India are facing an immense pressure from customers in providing the services at a faster rate with a greater quality. At present, service sectors are increasingly becoming a customer centric service provider. Integration of Lean and Six Sigma is a kind of quality and time enhancing strategy that can help service sectors to win the customer loyalty and growth. However, Lean Six Sigma itself is only not enough to meet the rapidly increasing competition, but also, the integration between Lean Six Sigma and the knowledge management is very important. The study examines the achievable benefits by the use of knowledge management and also gives the critical analysis of the impact of Lean Six Sigma in service sectors and the customer satisfaction by providing the products and services at the best quality within the least time (customer available time). The article provides “5 I” (5 I – Identify, Investigate, Improve, Implement and Impart) approach with Lean and Six Sigma combination and the tools and techniques to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the services and products that provide. In this article “5 I” approach explains the use of tools and methodology to be adopted to streamline the process and also to improve the quality in the output. The 5I approach with the tool box explained in the article interim will help in growth of service sectors in India in achieving effectiveness and efficiency. It also provides the customer satisfaction by providing the services faster, greater quality and lesser cost.

Self Help Groups enhance the equality of status of women of participants’ decision makers and beneficiaries in the democratic, economic, social and cultural spheres of life. SHGs have an inbuilt mechanism where emphasis has been over capacity building of women through developing their dialoguing skills. The study was conducted in four districts of North Karnataka covering 100 SHGs and 400 members has revealed some significant trends regarding the membership of Self Help Groups in creation of awareness about the social issues. The awareness about the social issues among the members of the SHGs has been of a high order as the responses indicate about the different social issues. Higher majority of women members of SHGs are in favour of abolition of child labour, removing illiteracy among women and about mobilizing public opinion against alcoholism among men, Similarly major percent of them have favored women empowerment, abolition of dowry, and removal of gender discrimination in employment, wages etc. The positive impact of SHG membership is highly pronounced with regard to awareness about social issues.

M-learning is the ongoing trend in education with special reference to ELT. This paper advocates the use of smartphone applications to enhance the English speaking skills of tertiary level learners in remedial classes. This study focuses on the latest instant messaging mobile applications to evoke the young learners’ interest in oral discussions. The research has been carried out using Whatsapp, WeChat, and Line, through which instant audio messages are sent in a faster pace. The suggested apps help teachers not only to evoke interest in young learners, who are behind the spell of instant messages, but also help to provide instant feedback from teachers irrespective of time and place. A positive transformation in learners is noted using these instant messaging applications to enrich their English speaking skill. The study proves that the suggested approach to language learning is comparatively positive and convivial.

Understanding the response of the rocket crop to different source and salinity levels allows determining the type and level of salt that can be tolerable even where this factor is limiting. We evaluated the effect of different sources and levels of salinity sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) in rocket. The trial was conducted in a greenhouse, throughout completely randomized design in a 2x6x11 factorial scheme, two salt sources (NaCl and KCl), six salinity levels (0, 0.5; 2.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 6.5 dS m-1) and eleven replications. KCl exceeded the NaCl and both did not affect the leaves immersion.

Spiritual Intelligence, a new thread is, content and research on small to be seen. Spiritual Intelligence, one of the most important factors affecting the empowerment of employees. Spiritual intelligence is the ability to use and develop spiritual values and qualities that can lead to physical and psychological well being of the person is.

It is associated with human spirituality, and it is a direct correlation between. People can use the spiritual intelligence activities and their lives, the way a deep and meaningful guidance. The use of religious patterns in everyday life can increase the consistency, and the empowerment of people. The purpose of this study is that, whether spiritual intelligence is able to empower, or not?

Since long twin functions that have been attributed to literature include entertaining and educating the audience. It was the Roman poet Horace who more than thousand years ago claimed literature to be 'sweet' and 'useful'. Since then it is believed that the primary role of literature is to delight and instruct. However, it is not always that a piece of literature is composed by the artists with that effect in mind. More often than not, it is their way of expressing the innermost thoughts and desires creatively. Thus, we have literature dealing with various values drawn from the diverse spheres of life and society viz. environment, social justice, mysticism and the like. Rabindranath Tagore as a renowned and prolific Indian poet was inspired by the spirituality in oneslf and thus his poetry reflects his love for creation and mysticism. He could equate his love for nature with the love for god and like a true romantic seeks spiritual enlightenment in them. The paper analyses his collection of songs, Gitanjali to explore spirituality in his songs and the way he achieves spiritual gratification by dwelling on the world of the divine.

Two novel azo phenols mesogenic group namely 2-sec-butyl-4-(p-tolyldiazenyl)phenyl 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoate I12a,and 4-((4-bromophenyl)diazenyl)-2-sec-butylphenyl 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoate I12b were synthesized .The prepared compound were characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Mass Spectroscopy and Elemental Analysis. Their mesophase was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Their antioxidant efficiency for Egyptian lubricating base oil was tested via monitoring the oxidation reaction through the change in total acid number (TAN) and viscosity. The obtained results showed that, the efficiency of these compounds was ranked as follows I12a > I12b.
