 Abstract

This paper explores the intricate use of romantic symbolism in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poetry, focusing specifically on the interplay of light and dark. Coleridge, a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement, often employed symbolic imagery to convey complex emotional and philosophical themes. Among these symbols, light and dark play a crucial role in reflecting the tension between enlightenment and obscurity, clarity and mystery, which permeates much of his work. In Coleridge's poetry, light frequently symbolizes knowledge, purity, and divine inspiration. It is often associated with moments of revelation and spiritual awakening, providing a sense of clarity and transcendence. For instance, in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the motif of light appears in the form of the moon and the sun, which guide and illuminate the mariner's journey, symbolizing hope and redemption amidst the darkness of his existential and supernatural trials. The light in this context not only represents physical illumination but also spiritual and moral insight that emerges through suffering and penance. Conversely, darkness in Coleridge's poetry is emblematic of ignorance, confusion, and the unknown. It often serves as a backdrop for exploring themes of internal struggle, moral ambiguity, and the supernatural. In "Kubla Khan," the dark and shadowy imagery of the "caverns measureless to man" evokes a sense of mystery and the sublime, highlighting the limitations of human understanding and the awe-inspiring power of nature. Darkness in Coleridge's work thus becomes a symbol of the limits of reason and the mysteries that lie beyond human comprehension. The interplay between light and dark in Coleridge's poetry reflects the Romantic preoccupation with dualities and the complex relationship between reason and imagination. Light and dark are not merely contrasting elements but interact to create a dynamic tension that drives the thematic exploration of his works. This duality illustrates the Romantic fascination with the sublime and the notion that profound truths often emerge from the reconciliation of opposing forces. This paper will analyse key poems by Coleridge to illustrate how the interplay of light and dark enhances the symbolic depth of his poetry. By examining the ways in which Coleridge employs these symbols, we gain insight into his philosophical and emotional landscapes, as well as the broader Romantic aesthetic. The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of Coleridge's poetic vision and the symbolic strategies he employed to grapple with the complexities of human experience and the natural world.

 Abstract

The Tribal History of India is rich with real evidences of resistance and rebellion against landlords, contractors, moneylenders, exploiters of Santhal people, agents of colonial rule and corrupted government officials. Among these, the factual history of Sidho-Kanho and Phulo-Jhano stand out for their heroic roles in the Santhal rebellion of 1855-56. Sidho and Kanho Murmu, along with their sisters Phulo and Jhano, emerged as key figures in the uprising of the Santhal Tribe against the oppressive regime and exploitative practices of local landlords. The Santhal rebellion was primarily driven by the oppressive tax policies and unfair land acquisition practices imposed by the British rule. The Murmu siblings galvanized the Santhal community, emphasizing the need for unity and resistance to protect their land and cultural identity. Sidho and Kanho, in particular, were instrumental in organizing the rebellion, rallying thousands of Santhals to take up arms against their oppressors. Their leadership was marked by strategic guerrilla warfare tactics, which initially brought significant victories against the British forces. Phulo and Jhano also played crucial roles, not just as supporters, but as active participants in the rebellion. They symbolized the strength and resilience of Santhal women, contributing to the morale and combat readiness of their compatriots. Their involvement highlighted the gender-inclusive nature of the Santhal uprising, showcasing the vital role women played in the struggle for freedom and justice. Despite their initial successes, the rebellion was eventually suppressed by the superior military might of the British. Sidho and Kanho were captured and executed and many Santhals faced brutal reprisals. However, the legacy of Sidho-Kanho and Phulo-Jhano endures as a symbol of resistance and courage. Their story continues to inspire the Santhal community and others, serving as a poignant reminder of the fight against oppression and the quest for dignity and rights.

 Abstract

Asian communities consume 1.5 g turmeric daily per person. Turmeric use in the field of medicine was described in Asia thousands of years ago. Curcumin has the potential to prevent or treat various physiological processes, including cardiovascular disease, carcinogenesis, wound healing and inflammation. The curcumin content in collected from local markets as well as from different geographical regions varied from1.94 to 3.10%. The geographical variation of farmed turmeric showed that comparatively higher content of curcumin was obtained from the sample collected from Kalady (Ernakulam district), followed by Kalpatta (Wyanad district) and Cherthala (Alappuzha district). Among the turmeric powder available in local market, comparatively higher concentrations were observed in Treesa and Eastern, and no wide variations observed between rests of them. The common adulterants found in turmeric powder were absent in the analysed samples. Even though curcumin contents in turmeric powders were slightly lower compared to farmed, all were free off toxic chemicals.

 Abstract

Angika Abhinaya is one of the major and fundamental parts for an actor. Along with the various forms, it is one of the first forms of performance mentioned in the Bharata Natyasastra and Abhinaya Darpana. Generally looking at the field of folk theater in Assam, it can be seen that dance music songs and acting have been able to spread in Assamese people's lives as a whole. But apart from these arts, there are many art forms scattered in different parts of Assam where the story of the play is narrated through dance song acting as well as body language. Like Indian folk theater or Sanskrit plays, Assamese folk theater also focuses on the angika, or body. The whole performance delivers a physical performance to the audience. During staging any play or act, they use their body as a tool. The features and usage of different forms of Angika abhinaya are somewhere accompanied by Ojapali folk form, even though the new generation is still unknown about the elements behind the performance. Understanding about the theatrical elements of ojapali form, which is basically similar with Angikabhinaya, an actor or a performer can use ojapali form and their appropriate body movements in modern theater. This study basically aims to get an idea of this folk culture and proposes to introduce to its basic movements.
