The Realistic Representation of the Working Class in Mahasweta Devi’s The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh
(2024) Dawadi, Binod; Raj Kishor Singh
The research delves into the depiction of feudal domination and the
subsequent class struggle between feudal lords and their oppressed workers.
Analyzing the novel through the theoretical frameworks of Richard Hoggart and
Raymond Williams, the study illustrates how the feudal characters, Medini Singh and
Ganesh Singh, embody bourgeois power, subjugating the proletariat characters such
as Lachhima and Rukmani. Initially submissive, these workers transform by resisting,
reflecting Marxist concepts of class consciousness and the inevitability of worker
rebellion. The novel, set in rural areas of India, captures the extreme forms of
feudalism persisting post-Indian independence and the awakening of the proletariat
leading to the eventual overthrow of their oppressors. Lachhima’s evolution from a
compliant servant to a revolutionary figure symbolizes the collective struggle and
triumph of the working class. Devi's narrative critiques the feudal system and
celebrates the resilience and unity of the proletariat, aligning with Marxist and
cultural resistance theories. The symbolic death of Ganesh signifies the end of feudal
tyranny and the dawn of emancipation and equality, highlighting the novel as a
powerful testament to the enduring struggle for social justice.

(2024) Aryal, Gopi Krishna; Laxmi Kant Paudel
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of work-life balance and job

primary research questions in the context of Nepalese commercial banks. The
population for this study comprised all employees of 10 commercial banks in

employees from private commercial banks.
The data for this study was gathered using a structured questionnaire method. A total

commercial banks in Kathmandu, utilizing the convenience sampling technique. To
