Many scholars have tried to piece together information about the life of Mira. Most of the sources used to put the pieces of her life together have been through her autobiographic poems. Mirabai was born in 1498 A.D. in Kudki. She was the daughter of Ratan Singh. Her grandfather was Rao Duda, who was the ruler of an independent powerful state in Rajasthan named Merta. Mirabai's mother died when she turned two, and so her grandfather took her to Merta and raised her there. Rao Duda was a "man

After analysing certain interpretations in "Anita & Me" I agree with Meera Syals opinion that if you judge people in groups; you do not understand humanity. I think Syal has used typical stereotypes so that viewers can relate to issues and prejudices that relate to them also. As an Asian herself, Syal has portrayed the old-fashioned traditional views of Asian families within her Indian characters in Anita & Me. In Anita & Me, Meena seems to experience a clash of both Eastern and Western cultures
“Too mouthy, clumsy and scabby to be a real Indian girl, too Indian to be a real Tollington wench” Meera Syal’s portrayal of Meena in Anita and me is reflective of her own issues on identity and cultural integration. The author’s life is mirrored through Meena throughout the novel in a semi-autobiographical manner. Syal shares similarities with her central character Meena, starting with the migration from India to England as well as coming from an Indian Diaspora. Syal explores issues of culture
writers of the old diaspora tend to concentrate on the cracks within the experience while new diasporic writers tend to focus on “the liminal or threshold zone of intercutting subjectivities that define the experience of migrancy” (287). Sudesh places Meera Syal, the author of the novel Anita and Me, amongst the many writers of the new or masala Diasporas. Syal’s Anita and Me is a coming of age novel about a young girl, Meena, trying to cope with the inner and outer conflicts of a child of a minority

youth and women are just a couple of interesting ones. I’ll be exploring two different movies Dor (2006) and Rang De Basanti (2006), each of which has its own take on ‘freedom’ and ‘choice’. Dor has a very simple storyline; two female protagonists (Meera and Zeenat) whose husbands respectively (Shankar and Amir) leave India to get employed in the Middle East. Unfortunately, employment in India is scarce, forcing lower middle class families to resort to such options. These families are constantly
In order to understand the conflict between cinema and morality, it is important to understand the journey of women in movies over the years. After all, in most cases, morality is said to be violated because of ‘indecent’ and ‘immoral’ depiction of women. Indian Cinema is the most ‘larger than life’ aspect of our relatively small world. It is that reflection which never fails to depict society in its truest and even its fakest form. 100 years ago, when our cinematic journey began, so

Two-thirds of the world’s population consumes tea.1 The three major types of tea are black, oolong, and green. These types of tea differ in how they are produced and if they are fermented. Black tea is produced by oxidizing the leaves. This method intensifies the flavor and turns the leaves a dark brown color. Oolong tea is made by partially exposing the leaves to air. It is considered to be an intermediate between black and green tea in terms of flavor and caffeine levels. Green tea is the only
Sarah and Angela The Many Misconceptions and Misunderstandings of Schizophrenia Misunderstood with the assistance of popular stigmas and stereotypes, schizophrenia and its severity is often degraded and overlooked by the public.

are a part of human nature. It is these same characteristics and desires that are a big influence on the idea of beauty. Women are more heavily affected by this desire than men. This desire draws a woman to ‘beautify’ herself in order to please men. Meera Jain did a study and found out that every woman goes through a costly, sometimes painful process in order to beautify themselves. A woman’s main purpose for enduring this is so she can seem sexually attractive. Many seem to forget that beauty is a

The substantial improvement of mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites can be attributed to high rigidity and aspect ratio of nanoclay combined with good affinity through interfacial interaction between polymer matrix and dispersed nanoclay. It is well reported that polymer nanocomposites have excellent barrier properties against O2, CO2 and water vapor. This depends on the type of clay, i.e., compatibility between clay and polymer matrix, structure of nanocomposites and aspect ratio of clay
