Abstract: The spread of English education in the second half of nineteenth century resulted in the emergence of a purposeful and organized national consciousness in the divided Orissa. The famous Woods' dispatch and the establishment of the Calcutta University in 1857 provided necessary impetus for the growth of public interest for English education.Further, the establishment of the Ravenshaw College at Cuttack in 1868 provided great incentive for the spread of higher education among the aspirants of Orissa who were deprived of the college education due to the distance from Orissa to Calcutta and high cost of living in the Calcutta city Educated Oriyas and the domiciled Bengalis constituted the elite class in the society of Orissa.This elite class collaborated together in the socio-political activities.........

Abstract: Current development in information technology and consequent multiplier effect on information resources generation, storage, retrieval, accessibility and so on has thrown huge challenge to the public library as the perceived society's information hub. It therefore becomes necessary for the library to re-strategize so as to maintain relevance.

Abstract: Gender identity… lies at the core of one's personal identity, gender expression and presentation and therefore, it will have to be protected under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. A transgender's personality could be expressed by the transgender's behavior and presentation. State cannot prohibit, restrict or interfere with a transgender's expression of such personality, which reflects that inherent personality.‖ Transgender is not a term limited to persons whose genitals are intermixed but it is a blanket term of people whose gender expression, identity or behavior differs from the norms expected from their birth sex. Various transgender identities fall under this category including transgender male, transgender female, male-to-female (MTF) and female to male(FTM). It also includes cross-dressers (those who wear clothes of the other), gender queer people (they feel they belonged to either both genders or neither gender) and transsexuals.

Abstract: All religions agree that there is something deeply wrong with mankind, that human lives are not what they were meant to be. That human beings are alienated from the source of meaning and value. For the great religions of the Semitic origin - Judaism, Christianity and Islam – the basic human problem is moral (Rice, 1985), it is what human beings have done. Every religion describes a way of overcoming thisseparation and achieving what man has lost. The "Hebrew sanctuary and its services" a sub-set of Hebrew religion spelt out mainly in the Old Testament which is a prophecy dramatizing the only means of Redemption through the Messiah to come in symbols seem to have some parallelism with the practices surrounding the "Nandi male initiation ceremonies" today – a sub-set of Nandi religion (African). The objective of this study was: Todemonstrate that Christ Jesus came to fulfill the history of the plan of Redemption of mankind through African religion(Nandi) just as it does with Hebrew religion in biblical perspective.

Abstract: It is quite a commonplace truth to assert that one of the prominent characters who have impacted the social and political sphere of the African continent in the late century is the now departed South African leader, Nelson Mandela, referred to asthe African of the century1by the news writer François Soudan (JeuneAfrique hors série, 2013). As a young militant of the African National Congress (ANC) and a committed partisan of the struggle for equality between blacks and whites inapartheid South Africa, Nelson Mandela's convictions made him spend an important part of his life in prison. But his hope and self-determination triumphed over the apartheid regime, and true democracy eventually found its way towards the advent of a multiracial South Africa in the early 1990s. Hailed and praised throughout the continent..........

Title | : | Socio-Religious Dimensions of Spinsterhood in Muslims Societies of Katsina, Nigeria |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Khadijah Tukur Batagarawa |
: | 10.9790/0837-2305045562 |
Abstract: This is a study of spinsterhood. Spinsterhood represents a crucial period in the socio-cultural and reproductive development of a woman. It is an important period in that if not managed adequately and responsibly could destroy adulthood and what follows thereafter—marital life and family institution. Spinsterhood period is thus socio-culturally guided by certain societal norms and values in order to make life easier for women. However, the increasing dynamism of contemporary period is a cause for concern. This is why this study examines the religious aspects of spinsterhood in Muslims societies. The area is ironically neglected, even though Islam has provided guidelines for the life and activities of spinsters. The paper argues that spinsters in Katsina city, Nigeria are exposed to acute social, economic, cultural and psychological shocks, which if not handle adequately and responsibly could destroy the sanctity of marriage as well as family institutions. Various suggestions and recommendations are offered in this paper as to the best way to deal with this social stage in the development of females.

Abstract: There are few words in the English language that have such a fascination for the general public as the term personality. Although the word is used in various senses, most of these popular meanings fall under one of two headings. The first use equates the term to social skill or adroitness. An individual's personality is assessed by the effectiveness with which he or she is able to elicit positive reactions from a variety of persons under different circumstances. personality of the individual to consist of the most outstanding or salient impression that he or she creates in others. A person may thus be said to have an ―aggressive personality‖ or a ―submissive personality‖ or a ―fearful personality‖. In each case the observer selects an attribute or quality that is highly typical of the subject and that is presumably an important part of the over-all impression created in others and the person's..............
