    Analytical study of the social structure of BAGRI society
    (Innovation Science Academy, 2018) Sen, R.K; Saini, Alpna
    The social structure of a society is based on its geographic and economic structures. Bagri society is expanded to the border districts of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Bagri people are spread from SriGanganagar and Hanumangarh districts to some parts of Bikaner and Churu districts in Rajasthan; Sirsa and Fatehabad districts to some places in Hisar district of Haryana; and some parts of Fazilka, Muktsar, and Firozpur to some rural areas of Bathinda district of Punjab. The fundamental basis of Bagri community‟s identity is their Bagri dialect. This dialect of Arya origin is actually a dialect of Marwari enriched with words from Haryanavi and Punjabi languages. The influence of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana‟s structures and organisations can be perceived on the social structure of Bagri society. This research paper is an attempt to understand vivid/various levels of Bagri community‟s social structure.

    The Alienation and Manipulation of Geisha in Cultural Structures of Japan with Special Reference to Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha
    (The Criterion: An International Journal in English, 2017) Thakur, Smiriti; Saini, Alpna
    Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha is an account of Geisha's life; a life of struggle, and surrounded by various artistic practices where Geisha have no time for themselves. Their life seems glamorous and exciting to the outside world, however, in reality, it is pathetic and an isolated one. The aim of this paper is to focus on the origin of Geisha tradition, which is considered as a cultural heritage of Japan. Simultaneously, the paper throws light on various issues such as the role of tradition, culture, history, economy, and prostitution which contribute to the marginalisation of Geisha in personal as well as social arenas. The paper also deals with the reasons which blur the distinction between Geisha tradition and prostitution. To facilitate the interpretation of Geisha tradition, cultural construction of gender roles has been taken into account
