Abstract: Parent involvement continues to be the focus of much academic research, policy formation, and public debate. The role that parental involvement plays in the academic performance of children has been a subject of keen interest to educators for at least the past four decades. For a long time, children with disabilities were educated in separate classes or in separate schools. People got used to the idea that special education meant separate education. However, research as recognised the value of parental involvement in enhancing the academic achievement, self-esteem, and transition from school to community of students with special education needs. So, when children are educated together, positive academic and social outcomes occur for all the.......

Abstract: English is a global language. Globalization has created enormous possibilities for English to get connected with other languages and cultures. Globalization has also distorted vision about key concepts like the Centre and Periphery. The youth of Kerala are experiencing the pressure for adaptation of culture and languages while responding to global challenges. With the availability of technology and foreign languages like English, they have developed systems of communication among themselves which fall beyond the set parameters of language practices. This article speaks about globalization and its traits among the youth of Kerala. It speaks about living in language periphery. The language........

Abstract: This paper focuses on the socio-cultural and historical hurdles that act to restrict queer tendencies. This paper is mainly based on Shyam Selvadurai's novels Swimming in the Monsoon Sea, Funny Boy and Cinnamon Gardens. This paper highlights the significance of the prejudices that the characters of Shyam Selvadurai's novels are made to face. It also deals with the great difficulties and hurdles that the queer folk have to endure to satisfy the demands of their culture. This paper also looks into how sex and queer desires were subject to a whole range of repressions. It also discusses the social, cultural and political hurdles that make a queer man's life in utter difficulty.The paper also examines how society and state institutions intervened to create so many hurdles for the gay community.)

Abstract: This paper attempts to test whether women do have bargaining power in Intra-householddecision-making and is based on data drawn from a survey in Mumbai of 200 married women. The regression models take account of human capital factors. The results show that for similar levels of academic back ground, work experience, salary levels, profession etc., women systematically have very little voice at lower salary levels than at higher salary levelsin matters related to investmentswithin their household. Thus, pure human capital models of labour market are inadequate to account for the gender perspective. Any analysis of the labour market must hence incorporate gender as an explicit variable..

Abstract: This paper showcases human-nature relationship in Khushwant Singh‟s Train to Pakistan (1956) and enumerates how nature reacts to the partition between two nations. In Train to Pakistan, Sing sketches the ailing state of the villagers of Mano Marja, an imaginary small village near Indo-Pak border by addressing a tragic tale of India-Pakistan partition. The significant episodes of the villagers‟ lives take place in the lap of nature, and nature with its sight, colour and sound coexists with their peaceful lives as well as reacts to the disintegration getting manifested in the ambiance of nature. Nonetheless, here love and romance are intertwined with the upheaval of partition, and nature seems to merge with masculine virility and feminine submission. Lastly, in the form of flood, nature appears to protest the holocaust by responding to the anguish of the villagers as if it were an agent of God to punish the hideous incidents. The findings of the paper suggest that nature is against all sorts of forceful partition..

Abstract: Female Genital Mutilation refers to the inclusion of all procedures for partial or total elimination of the external female genital organs or external woman genitalia whether for cultural or for non- clinical reasons. It is carried out commonly on female between the ages of 0 to 15 years; however, occasionally married and adult womenhas been also subjected to this process according to the local or religious traditions and circumstances. In some nations, circumcision is practiced as early as a few days after birth and late as just prior to marriage or after the first pregnancy. Generally circumcision is carried out by a traditional practitioner who comes from a household in which generations of women have carried out the procedure. FGM is particularly widespread in Africa, where it occurs in about 28 countries and affects an estimated a hundred to a hundred and forty million women.

Abstract: In this paper, human being is considered as the center instead of the State. The term of "Humanity" has been dealt with. The definition of the humanity has been given. The first social units of human life were also be dealt with. A balance has been established between the local administrations and the central government, which is starting with the local level "township". A model has been proposed for the construction of townships, which are the smallest administrative units that should be included in the constitutional texts and which are important for the efficiency of democracy. Small administrative units composed of individuals take their own decisions within their limits. They make their own legislation. In this case, only then, a real and effective democracy can be mentioned. Providing the hierarchic services for humanity are necessary. Thus, while democratization is achieved with freedom in small units, the services that the center brings to human beings and humanity cannot be neglected. There is a balance between local and central administrations..

Abstract: There are floods of debates among scholars over whether democracy drives development or development that drives democracy. The first stream of the literature argues that democracy is a precondition for development because of its accountability mechanism, open participation, checks and balances, rule of law, respects for human rights and good governance. Arguing further, the scholars assert that democracy promotion is prior to expansion of economic development, pointing out that empirical evidence indicates that democracy has consistently out-performed non democracies in terms of indicators of socioeconomic wellbeing. The second stream of literature on the other hand maintains that development drives democracy, anchoring their argument on the fact that economic development......

Abstract: Retail banking, also known as consumer banking, is a business in which banks offer services to individual customers, rather than to companies, businesses or other banks. Services offered include savings and transaction accounts, mortgages, personal loans, credit and debit cards. India also saw the rise of commercial banks after the financial sector reforms in the early nineties. There are many signs that show this. Commercial banks in India are fast becoming one of the key drivers of the entire banking industry and have seen significant growth in recent times......
