Proverbs are popular and wise sayings. These two marked features make them intriguing and worth the time and effort put into their analysis; they reflect how people’s traditions and thoughts on a specific matter. For this reason, this paper is devoted to analyzing ten English proverbs in order to unearth how the English-speaking countries (have) viewed men and women. However, what makes this paper slightly different from most of the research which has been done on proverbs is that it employs an analytical tool—which is called Equating and Contrasting—taken from critical stylistics to uncover sexist ideologies in English proverbs. The critical-stylistic analysis has shown that English proverbs construct a world in which men and women are equated to specific entities and contrasted with others. Furthermore, men and women are stereotyped in English proverbs which emphasize different notions when it comes to dealing with men and women.

In this paper, I will be focusing on Ramprasadi Shyama Sangeet - how Ramprasad’s songs were beyond his subject, bringing in several contexts that emphasized the portrayal of his subject, Kali. Ramprasad Sen (1718-1775) wrote and composed almost 300 Shakta songs in Bengali dedicated to Maa Kali. Other poets like Kamalakanta Bhattacharya, Mahendranath Bhattacharya were other notable poets who followed Ramprasad Sen. Their written poems were sung and performed in the villages and they later found their way to the cities. Shyama Sangeet is one of the most integral parts of Bengali culture. This experience has found a continuous representation in all his songs. He wrote songs for farmers, businessmen mirroring the social crises, debts that a common man has. These brought in the social and economic aspects of the Bengal province of Colonial India. The rise of these songs took place in an extremely volatile political state. On one level, it was used as a tool for creating an anti-Mughal attitude on the other level it created an anti-colonial mindset by grasping the roots of power and motherhood of the nation. The juxtaposition of motherhood, everyday philosophy, socio-economic and political conditions created an enriched text in the Bengali culture that was addressed to many social classes. This paper attempts to explore. How did Kali attain the centre of Goddess worshipping from the periphery? What role does Shyama Sangeet play in the process? How was the ferocious Kali portrayed as an ignorant mother? How did the mother figure of the Kali influence nationalistic movements in Bengal?

Both good and bad are omnipresent in every age. Both have standard value. Now, deviation from good is called bad. Similarly, deviation from bad is called good. So standard deviation is the factor. Now to fix the standard value and to gauge its deviation one neutral person or agency is required. The person or agency must neither be leftist nor will be rightist rather he must be Middle East to measure the deviation if any and settle the matter amicably without any bias or bad intention.

The language knowledge of students at HUHA is still very weak, they get many different mistakes related to grammar, vocabulary, coherence, etc. There are many causes coming from students themselves as well as from the teachers of English.

One of the most frequent words in the Quranic surats isمَثَل (mathal), which is commonly employed to predict different meanings associated with conspicuous images, examples, and tales. Mathal gives various types of comparison so as to tackle perceived phenomena using significant and extraneous stuff like ant, spider or fly, etc. and hence abstract ideas could be mesmerized. This paper aims at detecting the different didactic senses that the word mathal displays in the Quranic verses aayas (verses), illustrating the purposes behind these senses. An investigation of didactic loads of the word mathal in the whole Quran is made. It concludes that mathal and its plural derivative amthal are used in Quranic surats to analogously express various meanings such as comparison, likeness, description, similitude, example and parable, in cases where two entities display something in common. The aim behind these meanings is to preach, guide, clarify or teach certain morals.

Be they fiction or non - fiction, literary forms are a channel that authors use to show a picture of the past, and present human life to suggest how the future would spring from the already gained experiences. Some of these authors are female writers who take interest in describing how people lived or live so that the audience can draw some needful lessons. In this study, the intent of the author is to clear up women voices on the painful situations they lived. The authors delve into two female writings viz Alice Walker’s epistolary novel ‘The Color Purple’ and Tsitsi Dangarembga’s bildungsroman ‘Nervous Conditions’. Driven by liberal feminist, and hinged on related studies involving the two authors, discussion measures two stories’ protagonists; Celie and Tambudzai (Tambu). It is noted that the two are victims of both gender and colour based violence rooted in colonization oppression and patriarchy. Despite considerable steps achieved to address this rampant issue in many parts of the world, it is high time women voices were heard.

Only a blessed soul gets relief. A cursed soul suffers. All tries to get relief. Few get it. A person if dies suddenly then near and dear ones mourn. If a person suffers long then he becomes patient. Such a patient offers relief to the family members through death. Suicide offers relief to the deceased but it is a permanent pain to the relatives.
