Abstract: The paper has reviewed the western agenda behind teaching English language and culture into the colonized countries, and demonstrated the result in the form of self-denigration and neocolonialism consequent upon adopting them. It has also demonstrated how the postcolonial writers have been working hard to regain their lost identity, dignity, language, history and cultural heritage by using national/postcolonial theories and perspectives. Demonstrating the colonist‟s objective to teaching English and the consequent cultural implications in the postcolonial societies, the article has argued for the paradigm shift in the teaching practice to improve the educational practice in the postcolonial societies and enhance the human condition of life................

Abstract: Self-efficacy according to Bandura (1997) is a person‟s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation. A relatively lower level of Self-efficacy can be seen in amputees as they lose a part of their body (Bosse et al., 2002) and diabetes is one of the major precursor to amputation (Viswanathan, 2007). The study investigated the effect of gender, family type and marital status on the levels of Self-efficacy in diabetic amputees. A purposive sampling method was employed to select participants belonging to the age range of 50-60 years...........

Abstract: Sound archives are increasingly being viewed as tokens of cultural heritage from bygone eras. Novel techniques are explored for preserving and archiving these valuable records. The strong ethnical ties of community radio stations with the local community make it imperative to archive their audio contents as these are entwined with the knowledge, arts, culture and languages of indigenous people. This is particularly important because societies are fast embracing a single global culture and in the course, they lose their unique local traditions........
