Subaltern is an old term that designated the workingclass people but subaltern as a theory came into light with the introduction of collective project by a group of South Asian scholars. It is a trend of writing history that emerged in India around 1980s. Subaltern study is about the history of ignored history; history of socio-cultural development and the history of nation as well as about the process of globalization. Subaltern Study concerns the participation of the masses that were subsided and marginalized from a larger discourse and often misrepresented in general discussion due to socio-economic and ideological grounds. Otherwise stated, it is about the history of silenced and neglect. In South Asian context, it is more often seen as a benefaction of colonialism, while in western context it designates affairs of social and cultural hierarchy. The term deals with oblivious absence of the people and the undermining of their consciousness, aspirations and cultural values from the larger structure of history writing. The paper explores the historical representations of Subaltern mass and tries to comprehend the process by which the subalterns are being produced at the first place.","PeriodicalId":292584,"journal":{"name":"SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130724685","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 increase our sense of identity and understanding of cultures by telling old stories, narratives, histories and travel tales. Women have a significant role in modern culture. The vital role woman can play in improving themselves, their family, and society is being established via efforts. The advancement and development of civilization are largely driven by women. They are essential components of a thriving society needed for the advancement of the country. Regarding women, television has a very high level of communication effectiveness. Their thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes are significantly shaped and influenced by television especially the primetime soaps.

Although the term “Diaspora” originally referred to the condition of the Jews who were dispersed from their ‘promised land’, the word has acquired new meanings over the years and it is now applied to any community or group that has been displaced from their native or ‘original homeland’ to two or more countries. The key issues that are often considered to be integral to our understanding of diaspora are the concepts or discourses of ‘nation’, ‘ethnicity’, ‘homeland’, ‘identity’, ‘culture’, ‘assimilation’ with the host-country, ‘exile’, ‘alienation’, ‘otherization’ and discrimination. This paper would attempt to study Manjushree Thapa’s short story titled “Tilled Earth” in relation to these issues pertaining to diasporic communities or individuals.","PeriodicalId":292584,"journal":{"name":"SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122635782","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}
