Authors:M Jeyaseelan Pages: 1 - 5 Abstract: Covid-19 and its consequent lockdown have had far-reaching impacts in the country like India, which has a heterogeneous population. The hands of such a pandemic touched all walks of life and the field. Education is one such field that is being witnessed drastic changes in its modus operandi. We believe that education is the potential wherewithal for change and development.The conventional form, brick and mortar, of teaching in schools and colleges have received a severe blow owing to the breakout of covid-19. The Clamping of lockdown in the year 2020, forced educational institutions worldwide to shift classes on-lineand incorporate digital learning and assessment techniques into the curriculum. The covid-19 imposed lockdown gives a new fillip to on-lineeducation or virtual learning or e-learning. This paper describes the woes and euphoria of on-lineeducation in the Indian context.

Authors:S Subbulakshmi Pages: 11 - 17 Abstract: Hindu religion is the only one in the world has the idea that Cosmos itself undergoes an infinite number of death and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. The cosmic dance of Nataraja is not a random motion but it is beautifully choreographed movement by law of nature. Nothing in the universe has been created but only transformed from one form to another. So creation and destruction is only a transformation. It is said that the Nataraja is the embody of inner process of human being. The galaxies are moving just like the movement of cosmic dance. It is like the birth and death and our consciousness forming and reforming. Nataraja is called the Cosmic Dancer because it is the most powerful form of dance intriguingly eclectic, keeping everything in the Universe intact. In Physical Science a Subatomic Particle is a particle that composes an Atom. Every subatomic particle not only does an energy dance but is also a pulsating process of creation and destruction without end. The electrons by diffusing around the nucleus forms the unstopped dancing movement. So for the modern physics the dance of cosmic dancer is a dance of subatomic matter. His dance symbolizes the daily rhythm of birth and death and the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction. Cosmic dancer seems to be real as he continually keeps creating and dissolving the forms in the external flow of his dance.

Authors:GV Venkataramana, PN Sandhya Rani Pages: 29 - 38 Abstract: Aim: Three species of fish, Notoptrus notoptrus, Channa punctatus and Glossogobius giuris, were shown to accumulate heavy metals like Zn,Fe,Ni,Pb,Cd, and Cu in their gut-free bodies, liver, and gills. Methodology: These fish inhabit the Kapila River in the Nanjangud area of the Mysore district. Result: Fish tissues (muscle, gills and liver) and sediments were found to contain Fe, Pb, Ni, Zn and Cu pollution. It was also determined that these pollutants had accumulated and been physiologically amplified in fish tissues. Sediment samples had greater metal concentrations than water samples or fish tissue samples. The outcome showed that although these metals were present in large quantities throughout the research area, their amounts in the water samples were below detection level (BDL). Interpretation: According to estimates, the liver and gills accumulated heavy metals in the following order: Fe > Ni > Cu > Pb > Zn and Fe > Pb > Ni > Zn > Cu. Accordingly, Fe occurred before Pb, followed by Ni, Zn and then Cu in the case of whole fish tissues. In comparison to other heavy metals, iron and lead contents in C. punctatus tissues were deliberately elevated. Fish are negatively impacted by heavy metal accumulation in freshwater since they are the primary consumers of aquatic systems. For the most part, people in those regions where fish is the primary food are influenced by the consumption of fish as well.

Authors:Sheela P Karthick, B Dharmalingam Pages: 39 - 46 Abstract: While the teachers in higher education are provided with academic rights and freedom, they are expected to maintain certain standards of responsible professional conduct and growth; otherwise, academic mission established for the progress of society will be at stake. They have to necessarily understand their role of enhancing learning among the students, extending their knowledge of the subject constantly, conducting research in their field to promote utilitarian purpose of education and finally getting awarded for all their service and research in due means. Also, the role of college teachers has changed from mere teaching to curriculum designing, research, publication, e-content writing, conducting online classes, collaborative research, exchange programme, extension activity, add-on/certificate course designing, arranging internship, etc. They have to necessarily come out of their comfort zone; many college teachers find it really challenging to accomplish this change in role expectations while some cross those impediments and emerge achievers. The plight of women college teachers is more challenging and particular due to their gender and the discrimination based on that. The present research proposes to study the challenges and impediments faced by women college teachers in Madurai district from women’s perspective. About 40 women teachers from a Government, a Government-Aided and a Self-financing Arts and Science Colleges are selected for the study and the findings through administering of questionnaire are analysed in this paper.

Authors:M Vijaya Shanthi Pages: 47 - 51 Abstract: Sanskritization is a particular form of social change found in India. It denotes the process by which castes placed lower in the caste hierarchy seek upward mobility by emulating the rituals and practices of the upper or dominant castes. It is a process similar to passing in anthropological terms. This term was made popular by Indian sociologist M. N. Srinivas in the 1950s.The cultural elements of the Aryans slowly penetrated into the society of Dravidians. This cultural assimilation and integration were known as Aryanization or Sanskritization. It had a strong impact on Tamil Language, Tamil Religion and radical changes in the society. Tamil people worshipped food grain, since it is their source of living. They wereall deified in different forms such as foodgrains, human and metalimages. In ancient Tamilagam, the Kalabhras adopted Anti- Brahmanical attitude and suppressed the domination of Sanskrit. During the Pallava period, the earlier folk-worship disappeared and the new form of Brahmanical worship gradually started. Throughout the history of Tamil Nādu Sanskritic Hinduism had absorbed local and folk elements. The patronisation of the rulers of Pallavas, Cholas, and Pandyas and the construction of grand structural temples made the Sanskritization of worship to be very strong. It was not helped to the subalterns to move up in the social hierarchy. Further it degraded the position of subalterns. Hence, itreceives various types of opposition in later period. But the Hindu revivalism was possible in ancient Tamil Nadu during the period of Pallavas and Imperial Cholas because of adapting Sanskritization form of worship.

Authors:Arunjunai devi S Pages: 52 - 55 Abstract: One after another, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British ruled over this town and the Pearl Fishery Coast. They exploited its revenue for nearly 450 years. The Portuguese were the strongest colonial rulers of this town and its surroundings. The Nayaks and the local Kings or chieftains, the Vadugars and finally the Muslims under the patron ship of then Travancore and Calicut rulers harassed the natives. This forced them into the saving hands of the Portuguese. By the end of the beginning of the sixteenth century the Pearl Fishery Coast was brought under the control of Portuguese. The Mass conversion in 1536 is a historic event which changed the history of Thoothukudi. The Paravas of Thoothukudi regained their lost rights of the Pearl fishing from the Muslims and started living a peaceful life under the protection of the Portuguese for more than a century then onwards. They returned their gratitude to the European coloniser by paying tributes in large amounts from their prize catches of the pearls and the chanks of the Gulf of Mannar. At the far end of the Portuguese colonial regime in this region, by the year 1658, Thoothukudi was lost to the Dutch invaders. Thoothukudi came under the control of the Dutch in the year 1658 and continued so till the end of the eighteenth century. The Dutch East India Company built a fort at Thoothukudi making it their strong bastion. The Dutch occupation of Thoothukudi ended in 1825 .
