Abstract: The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between Inferiority complex and Frustration in adolescents. It was conjectured that Inferiority complex in adolescents is positively correlated with Frustration resulting in reactions of Aggression, Resignation, Fixation and Regression . The sample comprised of 100 pre-University college students in the age range of 16-18. The results revealed that Inferiority complex correlated significantly with Frustration. The correlation was specifically high on Aggression (r=0.516), Resignation (r=0.413) and Frustration on the whole.(r-0.511). Further regression analysis was carried out to see whether Frustration would predict Inferiority complex. It was revealed that< Frustration significantly predicts Inferiority complex.
Key words: Inferiority complex, Frustration, Aggression, Resignation, Fixation, & Regression

Abstract:This research paper attempts to study and discover the patterns of myth and religious interfaces in Wole Soyinka's drama A Dance of the Forests. Soyinka has traditionally been allied to an elitist and western European canon of writing. But in A Dance we see how the European traditions of word drama and the African tradition of performance combine to form a unique combination; the aesthetics of a cultural hybridization which can be enthralling in its impact and widely documentary. Does A Dance qualify as a regional drama or does it exude resonances beyond its demographic margins? Soyinka's play can be seen as a universal drama of the human kind with an engrossing theme, the preponderance of evil and corruption in private and public spheres< of existence. This paper attempts to show how the treatment of this theme and stylistic techniques employed are equally dynamic and challenging.

Abstract:The present study examined the factorial validity of scores on the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale across the sample of 82 teachers of Pudukkottai District of Tamil Nadu. Self-efficacy theory posits that selfefficacy beliefs are linked to specific activities. Teaching is associated with specific activities. Hence it was hypothesized that the Teacher Self-Efficacy comprised of six different activities namely Job Commitment, Attainment of Excellence Commitment, Organizational commitment, Value Commitment, Student Commitment and Community Commitment. Factor analysis results from the sample supported the hypothesis by showing an adequate fit of a five-factor model with the subscales of Job Commitment (9), Value Commitment (8), Community Commitment (7), Student Commitment (4), and Organizational Commitment (5). Scores from the five subscales (33 items) yielded coefficient alphas in excess of 0.9273.

Abstract: Shelley's friend Hogg tells us that love was the root and basis of Shelley's nature. The love first developed as domestic affection next as friendship, then as a youth's passion, and then it began to shine with steady luster as an all embracing devotion to his fellowmen. He had an intense and glowing passion of unselfishness, which throughout his life led him to find his strongest interests in the joys and sorrows of his fellow creatures, which inflamed his imagination with visions of his fellow creatures, which inflamed his imagination with visions of humanity made perfect and which filled his days with sweet deeds of unremembered charities.
He ran after women, every time thinking that he had come across a perfect model of love. but as soon as the cold finger of reality touched them, they were reduced to the most ordinary women of flesh and blood, not dream-brides of his heart . As his love of intellectual pursuits was vehement, and the vigor of his genius almost celestial, so were the purity and sanctity of his life most conspicuous. I never know any one so prone to admire as he was, in whom the principle of veneration was so strong. I could never discern in him any more than two fixed principles. The first was a strong irresponsible love of liberty and the second was an equally ardent love of toleration of all opinions. Like Plato, Shelley believed in cosmic love. In 'Epipsychidion' we have Shelley fullest
expression of Platonic theory of love.
Although Shelley belongs to the class of aristocracy but he doesn't inherit the defiant waywardness of his class. He doesn't possess in him the seeds of empty pride and defiant high-headedness along with an utter lack of human sympathy and general goodwill as we generally find in the children of aristocratic families whereas Keats belongs to the middle class family.,

Abstract: The transmission of worthwhile knowledge for the total man seems to be the basis upon which most educational curriculum of schools is fashioned. In this twentieth century, more emphasis seems to be placed on technical, vocational and scientific content in our educational pursuit. This it appears has been done to the detriment of humanistic education that captures the existential situation that bedevils man, some of which leads to suicide, terrorism, pornography, robbery, prostitution, drugs and so on as a consequence. This paper is a philosophical attempt to re-kindle our preference in what we consider worthwhile to transmit to the pupils with the aim of drawing our attention to the "lived experience" of man's vicissitudes. It tries to inquire whether education can make some difference in this regard in the area of handing over the tools to the pupils in order for them to be able to probe into the underlying nature of reality for an authentic living from a dialogical perspective.

Abstract:Emotional intelligence is the new yardstick which is increasingly applied to assess a person's wellbeing in life. It's a different way of being smart, the ability to recognize, manage, and use one's emotions in positive and constructive ways. It is also about recognizing the emotional states of others and engaging them in ways that feel good to all and create mutual safety, trust, and confidence.Teaching, as a profession also demands multiple skills in order to meet the challenges of everyday life. Emotional intelligence has become a vital component for success of any profession. Emotional intelligence is the 'skill' by which emotions are handled by the individual for coping with the pressure of the contemporary world and ensuring success in both personal and professional lives. Teaching too is one profession which demands a high level of emotional intelligence because it deals with people with whom constant interaction takes place.

Abstract: Freedom from political colonialism came as a refreshing wind to the Indian writers who were now enthused to write with new outlook and express their indigenous ethos and beliefs. Post-colonial Indian English writers like Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth , Amitav Ghosh etc, writing with great dynamism, distinctive voice, vigor and a level of self-reliance, have liberated Indian English literature from the colonial yoke. Historical nationalist issues such as diaspora, migration, refugees, colonial hegemony; socio-economic and cultural issues like east-west encounter, caste and class etc. become the concerns of these writers. The present paper is intended to examine Amitav Ghosh‟ treatment of the problematic of identity in "The Shadow Lines" (1988), which as a memory novel, sketches few historical events like the freedom movement in Bengal, the Second World War and the Partition of India in 1947 and the communal riots in Bangladesh and India. In this novel, Ghosh problematizes nationalism in his search for identity. The fervent nationalism upheld by grandmother is put to question and re-analysis. Ghosh explores the unreality and invalidity of traditional identity constructions such as nation and nationalism.
Keywords: Identity, nationality, "The Shadow Lines', trans-nationality.

Abstract: North-Eastern Region (NER) in India comprises eight states. Tourism in these states based on wildlife, natural beauty, unique flora & fauna, hold shrines, lush green tea gardens, turbulent rivers, vibrant and colourful cultural festivals. But unfortunately, due attention has not been paid to the socio-economic development of these states either by the Central Government or by the States Government. The apathy of the Government at the central and states is largely responsible for the low level of growth of industrial sector in the state. The natural beauty of these states attracts tourist from all over India and also from abroad. These industries have become important sources of income and employment of most of the people living in the states. While the development of agriculture is constrained by limited cultivated area (the states are mostly covered by with hill), development of heavy industries is not easy, and the development of tourism industries can be given greater importance. In this paper an attempt is made to access the contribution of tourism industry in these eight states to the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP).
