The title explains multi-racial dissimilarities and identities as built in communication through race, class, religion, culture, or ethnic identity these are based on their particular structural hybrid identities. They focus on the basic differences between values determining cultural changes and identities. This perspective of hybrid culture with instability and transformation creates a hybrid cultural identity that differs with time and is dependent on contingency. Hybrid cultures identities are negotiated and they are able to hold a variety of cultural effects. The process of cross-cultural communication adapts and creates a hybridized identity that helps them in their negotiation between different cultural practices with their group or with different strata of the society. This study attempts to display how race plays an important role in dividing people into superior and inferior groups and among this, it shows how the power structure shifts from the former structure to a fragmented structure and how the characters adapt to the changing situations. This paper shapes the above points regarding cross-cultural communication of hybrid identities.

Almost every aspect of life, nation and society is included in his philosophy. In his philosophical views democracy and its essential factors find proper place. His global vision of universality prevails upon the foreign policy of our country. Gandhi was in favour of equality especially in matter of laws; he is of the opinion that there must be equality among the different groups of society. Discrimination on the basis of class, colour, creed, sect and category ought not to be existed. He was an ardent believer of the concept that service to human beings is a service to God. According to him democracy is not only a rule by the people for people but it is also a blend of unity, ahimsa, national integration, solidarity, responsibility, rights, morality especially in Indian context.","PeriodicalId":292584,"journal":{"name":"SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133614666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are deeply rooted in Indian soil. Their poems are full of Indian ethos and deal with a wide variety of subjects. Spiritual nationalism is one of them. Like Aurobindo Ghosh, for them nationalism means true devotion towards one’s country and its people irrespective of their faith, caste, race and sex. India is a multilingual, multicultural and multireligious country. The conflicts on the basis of religion and culture are inevitable. People are often misguided by conservative and narrow- minded religious leaders and politicians which sometimes results in riots. Both Uniyal and Subramaniam believe that riots in a multicultural country like India are inescapable. India has faced so many invasions and incursions but continued to grow with the passage of time. The biggest strength of India is its spiritualism. It has empowered it during all external and internal assaults. Uniyal and Subramaniam believe that the negative forces which are destroying the peace and harmony of the nation can be defeated by realizing the core values of Indian culture.

The Indian feminist movement failed to represent the perspectives of the Dalit women that have been subjected in the Indian society since ages. Subsequently, the Dalit women were forced to initiate a separate movement to gain sustenance and representation in the mainstream social conduct. The theoretical representations of the Dalit women could also be drawn from American and African literature that shares experiences of Dalit feminism and subjection on a broader scale. Further, the research reflects Dalit feminism in terms of inclusive feminism that confronts domination of female community in India and elsewhere. Considering the Dalit woman’s writing, the glimpses can be found in the Indian vernaculars in the form of short stories. It is present in the form of Telugu Dalit writing that have been translated into English to reflect the perceptions of the Dalit women and their experiences in Indian discourse.","PeriodicalId":292584,"journal":{"name":"SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126961570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
