Revolution 2020: Story Set in the Holy City of Varanasi
Set in the holy city of Varanasi, Revolution 2020 is the story of three childhood friends - Gopal, Raghav and Aarti. Gopal and Raghav are childhood friends, whereas Aarti is Gopal's closest friend and love interest. Gopal is from a poor family, Raghav, a middle-class family, and Aarti's family is from a bureaucratic and political background. The three friends hold their own ambitions in life, with Gopal seeking financial wealth, Raghav wanting global political change and Aarti aspiring to work as an air hostess. This story reveals the true picture of Indian Educational System with the hope that it will improve in future through the efforts of some sincere individuals. After failing both the IIT-JEE (Indian Institution of Technology Joint Entrance Exam) and AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) exams, Gopal is forced to move to Kota, the so-called "capital of coaching classes" to undertake them again. However, Raghav scores very well in his exams and joins the IT-BHU as a way to fulfill his dream of bringing revolution to India as a journalist. In Kota Gopal is completely surprised when he learns that Aarti and Raghav have formed a romantic bond and consequently develops problematic habits, disrupting his life. Due to the emotional difficulties brought on by his friends' relationship, Gopal again fails to pass the AIEEE. Gopal's father cannot bear his son's repeated failure and eventually dies, leaving Gopal an orphan. Due to past debts totalling nearly 2 lakhs, Gopal makes a deal with a MLA, Shukla, to start an engineering college on his father's disputed land. Gopal becomes director of the new college(GangaTech College) and proceeds to learn about a corrupt educational system, the workings of which he eventually accepts. Meanwhile, Raghav finishes his engineering studies and becomes a trainee reporter for a popular newspaper, "Dainik".

    Summary: A Long Time Anticipated Revolt

    Last week, the week of January 10, two murderers, a Blue and a Green, connected with the riots after the 531 chariot race escaped their imprisonment and took refuge in a sanctuary of a church surrounded by an angry mob. The emperor, Justinian, caught wind of this and was nervous for he was in the midst of negotiating with the Persians over peace in the east, there was enormous resentment over high taxes, and he now faced a potential crisis in his city. Facing this, he declared that a chariot race would be held on January 13 and declared the imprisonment of the two escapees. Not surprisingly, the Blues and Greens responded by demanding that the two men be pardoned…

    Behind Mud Walls Paper

    In order to understand India, one needs to understand its villages. Behind Mud Walls does a great job in providing a detailed background of an ordinary village life in India. Since seventy percent of Indians live in villages, it is important to learn about village lifestyle and the changes that take place in it. Only then one can learn about the cities because one needs to understand the relationship between the two in India. Behind Mud Walls provides the opportunity to examine a north Indian village from a non-Indian point of view; in other words, a non-biased point of view. Since the book is broken up into parts by years, it gives the reader a great way to examine the changes that take place in this village; it shows how it was then and how it is now. Karimpur in 1930 was very different from Karimpur in the 80’s and 90’s. Many changes were observed by Wisers and Susan Wadley, who writes the later chapters in the book. These changes were social, economic, educational, technological, political and cultural but most significant of these were social, and educational. The social changes with an emphasis on role of women, the slowing down of the Jajmani system and the rise in education will be the focus of this paper.…

It was a peaceful morning, and I relaxed in bed for a couple of minutes and looked forward to my day. I wondered what I would do throughout the day, and like a typical teen during summer break I decided to go out to the mall, grab ice cream, and dip in the pool later that night. Unfortunately my mother informed me that I had to go job hunting.…

    Slumdog Millionaire

    Year twelve students would find the visual text Slumdog Millionaire challenging because of the issues that the director Danny Boyle highlights, which are those of issues in India even in our life. He uses the character of Jamal to illustrate these issues effectively. We are shown a sequence of events which Jamal faces from childhood to his present life. He took part in a TV show called “Who wants to be a Millionaire”. From the first question, it already exposed the life of Jamal. I think this is not only about Jamal’s life even more serious is the hidden problem with the living condition of people who are at bottom society in India. By watching Slumdog Millionaire, we as teenager come face to face with examples of lots of issues in India at the start of 21 century. Although the setting of background shown in the visual text are different from our lives, the issues makes us question our own values and reactions to people who may be seen as being different in some ways.…

Farhan, is one of the many college students who was forced to pursue his parent’s dream of becoming an engineer. Raju is a poor lad who strives hard to get good grades yet he still gets low marks.

However, due to his different approach in studying, Rancho incurs the wrath of the dean of college, Professor Viru “Virus” Shahastrabuddhe. Rancho criticizes his professor’s style of teaching for lacking enthusiasm and understanding in discussing their lessons; thus this leads to a series of conflicts. In contrast, Virus’s favorite student, Chatur “Silencer” Ramalingam, believes in memorizing over understanding in order to be a successful engineer.

    The Voices In The City Analysis

    The post- independence period in the recent Indian history corresponds suitably with the ‘nodal period’, when a number of Indian writers of fiction in English try to explore and manifest Indian reality. In these writers, we do not find either the commitment of the earlier period or even the amused narration of the trials of middle class, trying to unite the past traditional outlook with the fast emerging realities of the modern living conditions. In this effort, the writers of the post independence phase move inward. They get more and more psychologically intended and try to assess the sociological effect on the psyche of their characters. Fortunately, this movement from the outward gross realities to inward complexities found as its mouthpiece…
