Indian Women Writers :: Literature Writing Middle Eastern Papers

Indian women writersA world of words, lost and found a brief overview of womens literature in India from the 6th century BC onwardsThe Vedas cry aloud, the Puranas shoutNo good may come to a woman.I was born with a womans bodyHow am I to come over truth?They are foolish, seductive, deceptive -Any connection with a woman is disastrous.Bahina says, If a womans body is so harmful,How in the world will I annoy truth?Much of the worlds literature has been dominated by a canon that nearly dismissed womens writing more than two centuries ago. The counter-canons that have emerged as the outlet of this exclusion have helped to establish womens writing in mainstream culture, but still in some ways fail to acknowledge womens literature coming from non-white countries. This sample is an attempt to highlight some of the works produced by women in India over the ages.Although India has a history of ancient civilisations such as the Harappa and Mohenjodaro, and of matrilineal societies in the s outh, no written records of womens literary prowess exists predating the 6th century BC. The emergence of the first body of metrical composition by women in India could be attributed to the advent of Buddhism. Perhaps it was the independence offered by the religion, the way of life it offered to women, and the principle of equality that it propagated which allowed women to pen their thoughts for the first time.Buddhism offered women the opportunity to break away(predicate) from the restrictions of home life, a major factor in the rise of Indian womens literature in the early 6th century BC. The earliest known anthology of womens literature in India has been identified as those belonging to the Therigatha nuns, the poets universe contemporaries of the Buddha. One of these, Mutta, writes, So free am I, so gloriously free, free from three petty things - from mortar, from pestle and from my twisted lord. Tharu and Lalita p.68Muttas works, translated from Pali, offer an explanation by their interpretation. Religious escapism was the only way out for many women who were frustrated with a life inside the home. They chose to join the Buddhist sangha (religious communities) in their attempts to break away from the social world of tradition and marriage. Thus emerged poems and songs about what it meant to be free from household chores and sexual slavery.Although the early forms of writing addressed the issue of personal freedom, the poetry that followed later was a celebration of womanhood and sexuality.

Experiment 02 Synthesis and characterisation of BenzocaineIntroductionBenzocaine is draw and used in the industry as local external anaesthetic it is constructed of a white crystalline powder. The advantage of anaesthetics such as benzocaine is the exertion can be reversible where the use is followed by a completed recovery of the tissue with no potential permanent damage being caused. galleryThe purpose of conducting this experiment was to synthesise and characterise for the preparation of benzocaine via a fishcer esterification reaction by the means of amino benzoic acid alongside ethanol. The point of intersection was also precipitated from a solution in order to gain a pH of 8.The secondary aim was to esterify the reaction in an equilibrium reaction catalysed via the addition of acid shown below ExperimentalReactants used 4- Aminobenzoic used 3.03g (0.018 moles)Ensure gloves are worn at all times when handling strong acids and bases deep down the experiment of the preparati on of benzocaine. 4-aminobenzoic acid (3.0g, 0.022 moles) was suspended into a dry round-bottomed flask (100cm3) followed by methylated sprits (20 cm3). Taking extra care the concentrated sulfuric acid of (3.0 cm3, 0.031 moles) was added. Immediately after the condenser was fitted on, and the components in the flask were swirled gently to mix components. It should be ensured that the reactants of the concentrated sulphuric acid and the 4-aminobenzoic acid were not agglomerate in the ground glass joint between the condenser itself and the flask. In order to heat the mixture to a boiling point, a heating winding-sheet was used and then further left for gently refluxing for a constituent time of forty minutes. After the duration of the consistent forty minutes the rou... ...rivate and taking into account there boiling point and volatility the Gc retention time will increase, in accordance to the chain going up, so in this case the pentyl derivative would go first then the butyl der ivative.ConclusionThe percentage yield gained was 70% from the Fischer Esterification reaction, which evaluates to be a good production of yield produced as the reaction is known to be reversible where conditions such as the concentration of the reactants, pressure and temperature could affect the extent of the reaction from performing. These white crystalline crystals were tested for scoria by conducting a melting point abbreviation and taking spectrospic data such as the IR spectra, HNMR and CNMR to confirm the identification of the product. These spectrospic methods and melting point analysis confirmed the white crystalline crystals were benzocaine.
