 Abstract

The portrayal of women in Indian writing has long captivated the attention of scholars and readers, sparking in-depth discussions about the multifaceted representation of female characters in literature. This paper delves into an insightful analysis of Preeti Shenoy's novel "The Secret Wish List," strategically shining a spotlight on the sheer brilliance of Shenoy's narrative style while delving into uncharted territories within Indian writing in English. Specifically, the exploration extends into the realms of humanism, fiction, and feminism, elucidating how these elements interplay in shaping the lives and experiences of characters like Diksha in the novel. Diksha, a poignant embodiment of modern women grappling with societal expectations, is artfully depicted as she navigates the intricate web of personal sacrifices and societal norms prevalent in a male-dominated milieu. Her poignant struggles underscore the harsh reality faced by many women, who find themselves confined to submissive roles, their aspirations shackled by societal constraints. Amidst these challenges, however, Shenoy beautifully accentuates the theme of individual agency, showcasing Diksha's inspiring journey towards self-realization and empowerment. Vibrant and compelling, the character of Vibha emerges as a beacon of hope and catalyst for change in Diksha's life, igniting a transformative path towards independence and personal fulfilment. Through this thoughtful analysis, the paper not only enriches the discourse on the representation of women in Indian literature but also underscores the critical need to delve deeper into the nuances of this vibrant literary tradition, thereby paving the way for a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of gender dynamics and societal constructs.

 Abstract

The Doiyang Dhansiri Valley civilization of Ancient period along with its unique art forms has great potential in academic history. In the context of Ancient Assam, only the kingdom of Pragjyotisha or Kamrupa bordering North Bengal, Tibet and Hills of Northern Assam had gained proper attention for years. In recent terms, the region of Doiyang Dhansiri civilization between parts of Assam and Nagaland border had came into limelight. Sprouted in the alluvial tracts of the Doiyang and Dhansiri river basins this civilization has unique essence of art yet to be studied. The archaeological sources, i.e. - inscriptions, monuments and sculptures of various medium (wood, stone, terracotta) portray an enrich art collection with salient features. Amides those sculptural remains hold special importance due to their religious, aesthetic and representational values. An inquisitive insight of insane craftsmanship and iconography along with societal values reflects through these art forms. Under the influence of Classical Gupta Art, the stone art of Doiyang Dhansiri Valley adopted fusion of various social elements and regional trends. These influences are evident in the structural features of sculptures, including wide open eyes, lack of spiritual expression, round faces, thick lips and stout bodies. According to H. N. Dutta, sculptures of around 600 AD to 900 AD exhibit distinct characters. This early phase of art movement began at Duborani making the tradition popular as Regional School of Duboroni Art. Scholars like M. N. Dutta traced the origins of these early art forms to Deopani. Since 900 AD, this regional school of art went out existence under the shadow of the East India School of Medieval Art (EISMA). This new style was marked by innovations, particularly in the carving of Kirttimukha and the facial treatment of some anthropomorphic sculptures.

 Abstract

Ultrasonic testing is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of pipelines used for transporting H2, CO2, crude oil, and natural gas. Automated ultrasonic testing systems, employing arrays of transducers/probes arranged in fixed patterns such as X, I, K, on-bead, or wheel probes, are commonly used by manufacturers to detect both longitudinal and transverse defects in various types of pipes, including L-SAW, H-SAW, ERW, or seamless pipes. However, the challenge lies in detecting defects that can occur in any direction, necessitating the use of multiple transducers. While phased array probes are available, they still send ultrasound in a single direction with varying angles. In this study, I investigate the feasibility of using a single transducer/probe with multiple crystals mounted at different angles or a rotating transducer/probe which can scan in different directions to detect defects oriented in different directions. This approach leverages the law of reflection to maximize defect detection while minimizing the number of transducers/probes required, thus potentially enhancing both efficiency and cost-effectiveness in pipeline inspection processes.
