Abstract:
Narayan’s Swami and Friends (1935) luminously portrays its child protagonist Swaminathan’s adventures in soul making, his skirmishes with his little comrades and reconciliations in his soupy school, his contact with the experienced adult world vis-à-vis apparently apolitical, shallow and banal Swami and Friends (1935) also postulates encoded political and cultural resistance so strategically camouflaged by Narayan’s narrative devise. Narayan’s Anti-colonial propaganda, his aversion to fundamentalism and authoritarianism, his earnest desire to bring the subaltern narrative into our mainstream narrative give him a special place in literary world. Kudos to the Nietzschean Will to Power of the common inhabitants of Malgudi and the little urchins of Albert Mission School that they dared to join the protest march against the hegemony of their white colonial masters. Swami much like Ishaan of Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par (2007) used to shudder at the very thought of his monotonous school where his wings of freedom used to be crushed under the fatal mill of the authoritarian and strict teachers except D.Pillai who was famous among the students. Swaminathan’s hybrid identity, Rajam’s Europeanized existence, overlapping associations of tradition and modernity, class struggle, Centre/Periphery, Self/Other, Master/Slave dichotomy in Swami and Friends (1935) actually celebrate Narayan’s deep concern for our pluralistic and multicultural Indian identity where Narayan has also given space to the subaltern existence like Rajam’s family cook who was insulted and undervalued by Rajam only because Rajam belonged to the centre of a power structure. In this paper I would like to investigate in which way Narayan has pointed out the various agathokakological entities of human life through the artistic representation of his characters, his celebration of India’s heterogeneous identity, class struggle, the marginalized and peripheralized existence of subaltern voices, politics of colonial masters’ Self and the muted Other in an unequal power structure where a very limited number of people actually get access to the resources , ambivalence, hybrid identity etc. with reference to Swami and Friends (1935).

Abstract:
M.K. Gandhi is a unique paradox. He has been sanctified and idolised for his beliefs and teachings and at the same time has been assumed as an impractical idealist. On the contrary his educational philosophy has been highly practical and in the ever-changing times and challenges of the 21st century, it becomes pertinent to explore it.Education is the facilitator of humanity. It is precisely this understanding of education that Gandhi propounds in his philosophical understanding of the same. The roots of all evils lie in ignorance of education and the roots of all virtuousness lies in adherence to it.R.K. Narayan (1906-2001) and M.K. Gandhi (1869-1948) were two major figures of the 20th century India, owing to the former’s literary and the latter’s political and philosophical sensibilities. Gandhi's ideas and ideals regarding education are multi-faceted. For him education has multiple aims and objectives. For him education is not only a means to serve an individual or a national cause but goes on to serve the still larger cause of humanity. It is this aspect of his teachings which will remain the focal point of this paper. The novel Swami and Friends (1935) is written in the characteristic Narayanian vein which refuses to evolve and incorporate serious issues on the surface. Though primarily it appears to be apolitical and plain in style, the novel nonetheless exhibits some serious issues related to education. Efforts would be made in the paper to show how the educational system portrayed in the novel is in stark contrast to the educational philosophy and the ideals for which Gandhi pined throughout his life. The paper would hence attempt to delineate the Gandhian educational philosophy by placing it in and around the critique of education that R.K. Narayan offers in his debut novel Swami and Friends (1935).

Abstract:
The representation of the child in art has a long history. Great importance is attached to the child in the indigenous literary traditions of India. The antics of Krishna , the ‘balgopal’ are represented vividly in the Bhagavata Purana and the Mahabharath. Likewise, the adventures of the child Rama are sketched in great detail in another epic Ramayana. An array of Indian writers have made the child the protagonist in their novels ; Manu Bhandari’s Aap ka Bunty, Ganeswar Misra’s Face of the Morning, R.K. Narayanan’s Swami & Friends, Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, and Amitav Ghosh’s Shadow Lines are some typical examples. This paper attempts to make a comparative study of the portrayal of the child in two modern Indian novels namely Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyaya’s Pather Panchali and Krishna Baldev Vaid’s Uska Bachpan.

Abstract:
R.K. Narayan conforms to his times and during the period he wrote, there was a radical change in the status of women. Moreover, he maintains an objective detachment from his themes and characters. However detached he is from his characters, it is possible to draw out a conception that the portrayal of women characters takes a definite shape through his novels. As we read his novels, we can trace a gradual transition of his women characters from silence to speech. His pre-independence novels like Swami and Friends, The English Teacher, Dark Room have women who are submissive and docile even though they nurture the desire for liberation. But, R. K. Narayan was a genius to picturise the ordinary middle-class milieu. Narayan takes a different attitude in portraying his post-independence heroines. The middle-class is considered the citadel of tradition but has shown its heroines courageously negotiating their way out from stereotyped notions about women and their roles. His women who are presented as votaries of emancipation educate themselves, long for economic independence and do not hesitate in leaving their parents or dumping their husbands and lovers in their search for individual identity and desired happiness.

Full text
Abstract:
Our Mutual Friend, published just six years after Darwin's The Origin of Species, is structured on a Darwinian pattern. As its title hints, the novel is an account of the mutual-though hidden-relations of its characters, a fictional world of individuals seeking their own advantage, a "dismal swamp" of "crawling, creeping, fluttering, and buzzing creatures." The relationship between the two works is quite direct in light of the large number of reviews on science, evolution, and The Origin from 1859 through the early 1860s in Dicken's magazine, All the Year Round. Given the laissez-faire origin of the Origin, Dicken's use of it in a book directed against laissez-faire economics is ironic. Important Darwinian themes in the novel are predation, mutual relationships, chance, and, especially, inheritance, a central issue in both Victorian fiction and in The Origin of Species. The novel asks whether predatory self-seeking or generosity should be the desired inheritance for human beings. The victory of generosity is symbolized by a dying child's "willing" his inheritance of a toy Noah's Ark, "all the Creation," to another child. Our Mutual Friend is saturated with the motifs of Darwinian biology, therefore, to display their inadequacy. Although Dickens made use of the explanatory powers of natural selection and remained sympathetic to science, the novel transcends and opposes its Darwinian structure in order to project a teleological and designed evolution in the human world toward a moral community of responsible men and women.

Abstract:
“I’ll Never go to School with a Nigger!” Dickie, an eighth grader in my social studies class, shouted vehemently as we began to discuss the Brown v. Board of Education case prohibiting segregation in public schools that the Supreme Court had decided a year before, in 1954. Dickie was right; he never did, dropping out of school two years later, before his Virginia public high school began desegregation. I was flabbergasted and appalled by Dickie’s assertion, only gradually coming to realize that my new profession, teaching, was heading on a rocky road to improvement. In September 1955, as a new, navy bride, I began teaching in still segregated Deep Creek High School serving the predominantly low-income white community of the Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia. Prepared as I had been by the mushy adjustment curriculum of my Indiana public schools (lots of attention to my deficient social skills, not much to strengthening my intellect), I had zipped through college. I added the teacher training sequence after I became engaged in order to have a saleable skill when I married on graduation day. My five education courses, most of which I thought academically and professionally worthless, required that I memorize the Seven Cardinal Principles, still the reigning dogma, and I did, believing they represented the fuzzy thinking I associated with public education. I lived in a totally white world, never having had a black friend, fellow student, or teacher. Under Virginia law at that time Deep Creek High School was also a totally white high school world, though surrounded by a black community. The drop-out rate was high: 140 students in eighth grade but only 40 high school seniors. When Dickie made his assertion about segregation, I was astounded both by the language and by the sentiment. We did not use such a term in my household, and, innocent that I was, I thought the Supreme Court had decided the year before in Brown v. Board of Education that public schools could not be legally segregated by race.

Abstract:
Abstract Mahakam is a mature gas and oil field that has been in operation since 1966, covering an area of approximately 1500 square kilometers. It is located in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia and has 7 operating fields. Tunu, Tambora and Handil are fields within the swamp shallow water (Delta), whereas Bekapai, Peciko, Sisi Nubi and South Mahakam are offshore fields with water depths ranging from 45 to 80 meters. The diverse setting of environments requires different methods of site preparation, construction, drilling and logistic. The drilling industrialization necessitates agile and complex well preparation especially in the Deltaic environment, with around 70 wells drilled with three swamp barge rigs each year. In recent drilling development in both Tunu and Handil fields, more shallow wells were drilled. These wells were drilled in the swamp with heavy sedimentation and/or sand banks which necessitated a large amount of dredging and required months of preparation whereas the drilling operation took up to 3 days per wells. The entire well preparation process requires planning, monitoring, and the participation of many team in different entities. Each entity has its own version of well planning database, resulting in data disagreement and lack of data integrity. Thousands of emails are being send and meetings are being organized to guarantee that operations runs well. Due to lack of trustworthy data, personnel movement or team reorganization, it has become serious issues. In 2016, company decided to start the digitalization efforts, by approaching various service company who provides the well planning software. It needed customization to match the corporate needs. However since the digitalization has not yet commonly used by most company, it was then not user friendly, thus several individuals were hesitant to utilize it. An internal team created an application in early 2019. As the business requirement & working flowchart, the team decided to have a clean and mobile-ready yet less complicated form that also enables team collaboration during the design. This ensures that all users, employee from any generation (X, Y, and Z) able to use and enter valid information. Equipped with map visualization, the related entities will be able to have better quick analysis on the condition surrounding wellhead position. The application also implements an adjustable workflow system that able to follow the dynamic of organization structure, ensure each of well planning task is assigned to the correct team. Push notifications are also an important element in this application for keeping the entire team up to date. The application also featured a discussion board and file sharing function, allowing each team to exchange information or files. The manual email exchange has been minimized, and the meeting hour has been reduced significantly. The errors are simply identified and fixed in a single integrated database. The application is continuously improved from well planning only in its early stages into well design to accommodate the whole drilling industrialization process.
