Kakatiya Journal of English Studies was sustained by pooling the individual research grant of teachers of the Department. It started with the pioneering initiative by Late Prof. Satyanaraian Singh, Founder-Head of the Department of English, KU, when in March 1976 he brought out its first volume, a Special Number on Rabindranath Tagore. He followed it up with a Special number on Mulk Raj Anand in 1977 the launching of which was organized on a grand scale at Kakatiya Medical College, a memorable event graced by the noted novelist himself. The Head of Department happens to be the Editor of the journal. On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Department (1967-2017) 'Index to KJES' is a tribute to the first generation teachers, Prof. Satyanarain Singh, Prof. S. Laxmana Murthy, Prof. A. Jaganmohana Chari, Prof. P. Shiv Kumar, Prof. C. Varada Chary and Prof. D. Ramakrishna who put in untiring efforts in sustaining the KJES despite many odds, and at a time when computers were not in vogue. The second and third generation teachers have continued the tradition. The cooperation of the university authorities as well as the participation of the Faculty members helped the Department journal to chart such a long journey.

chhavi goswami
A Critical Study of the Selected Novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni deals significantly with the post-feminist literature written by women novelists belonging to the Indian origin. She has delineated upon the thinking women of the Indian diaspora, whose mental faculty compels them to introspect their so long stereotypical status quo in the prevailing customs, traditions, myths, patriarchy, motherhood and marital life, that they have inherited or imbibed genetically to the alien lands far from their imaginary homelands. Due to literacy, technology, science, employment, migration, and the equal opportunities, economic independence, their sense of metaphysics has set equilibrium with their non-conventional discomfort zones and they have attempted to cross customized thresholds of comfort zones. They have advanced further from the set paradigms of women’s image which have been popularly prevalent from the historical perspective. the selected writings of the Indian – American diaspora ...

A Critical Study of the Selected Novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni deals significantly with the post-feminist literature written by women novelists belonging to the Indian origin. She has delineated upon the thinking women of the Indian diaspora, whose mental faculty compels them to introspect their so long stereotypical status quo in the prevailing customs, traditions, myths, patriarchy, motherhood and marital life, that they have inherited or imbibed genetically to the alien lands far from their imaginary homelands. Due to literacy, technology, science, employment, migration, and the equal opportunities, economic independence, their sense of metaphysics has set equilibrium with their non-conventional discomfort zones and they have attempted to cross customized thresholds of comfort zones. They have advanced further from the set paradigms of women’s image which have been popularly prevalent from the historical perspective. the selected writings of the Indian – American diaspora woman author indicates that the dimensions of contextualizing in-betweenness, hybridity of thought in women’s personality and psyche have although been issues of conflicts and contradictions both in private and public space; however, they are more thoughtful to revamp and retrace their old-patterned trajectories for breaking the track of ice-ceiling. They have challenged fragile zones of both expectations and realities. Women characters in the novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (Contemporary Indian-American Diaspora Woman Novelist) have been projected with the capacities of self-emancipation in their own negative and positive perspective; they represent the modus operandi of self-sufficient, self-independent and self-exploratory to emancipate their lives, although, in their quest of being free, they deviate. They acknowledge the fact of mutual understanding and acceptance of differences which are the metaphorical ways of resistance. They attempt to oscillate their self-disintegration and self-denigration. The selected novels discuss the double standards of society/community in terms of the expected standards and reality standards and that’s what makes sense in the author’s creative-writing scholarship that analytically, dexterously, meaningfully and emotionally brings out a contemporary critique on the choices, changes and commonalities confronted by women, against women, and for women. The author explores uncommon reoccurrences of gender existential needs, responsibilities and roles in order to demystify the stereotypical, sociological and psychological myths with regard to women’s thoughts and actions.

The Role of Women in Divakaruni's Sister of my Heart
QUEST JOURNALS
The paper focuses on the role of the women characters .Many a time we have seen that women are responsible for keeping the traditional value intact. Women had always been undervalued due to patriarchal superiority. In the Indian society especially, the experiences of women were not considered much compared to the perceptions and experiences of their male counterparts in the society. Women writers had mostly presented a narrow canvas of themes like domestic issues, experiences of in-law's place, and difficulties in adjustment in post and premarital status, sexual harassment, dejection to name a few. Sister of My Heart deals with different ranges of women experiences altogether and touches all aspect of a woman's life.
