The postmodern Indian English novel is typically characterized by a rather confusing intermingling of genres. This ambiguity and intermixing of genres is mostly evident in the promiscuous blurring of boundaries between fact and fiction, history and myth. The twin elements of fact and fiction have come to play a dominant role in the postmodern texts with writers like Salman Rushdie, Shashi Tharoor and Amitav Ghosh being its ardent exponents. As literature has its roots in history, it often nourished and took sustenance from it. But in the recent times this relationship between myth and history or fact and fiction has become problematic. This problematization of the boundaries is one of the characteristics of postmodernism.

College libraries in the district of Murshidabad started its journey way back in 1853. So far during the long period of over 150 years, libraries have witnessed ups and downs in terms of available finance leading to shortage of manpower and also infrastructur e etc. Often libraries ar e found not equipped with modern gadgets and trained manpower . Even paucity of physical infrastructur e such r oom space, etc. is evident fr om the study . Number of books available per student, annual expenditur e incurr ed on running the library is found to be pathetically low . Sometimes libraries ar e not equipped with basic and 'must have' facilities in the age of IT r evolution such as internet links and thus facility of access to online publications and r esour ce sharing etc. is a distant dr eam. Lack of books, journals and periodicals, lack of r epr ographic facility as well as internet etc. ar e the major cause of concerns expr essed by the user .

“Long live Revolution” and “Down with Imperialism”, that formed the crux of our ideas. That portion was removed from our statement. Generally a wrong meaning is attributed to the word revolution. That is not our understanding. Bombs and Pistols do not make revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas. This is what we wanted to emphasize. By revolution we mean the end of miseries of capitalist wars. -Bhagat Singh in a statement before Lahore High Court bench 1930. “Revolution does not mean an upheaval or a sanguinary strife. Revolution necessarily implies the programme of systematic reconstruction of a society on new and better adopted basis after ample destruction of existing state of affairs”

The pr esent paper r eports the electrical conductivity of Se-T e-Sb based chalcogenide glasses under a vacuum of 10-4 T orr . The samples wer e pr epar ed by quenching technique. Quenching was done in ice water and the glassy natur e of alloys was verified by X-ray diffraction. In general, the conductivity in chalcogenide glasses at higher temperatur es is dominated by band conduction (DC conduction). But, at lower temperatur es, hop-ping conduction dominates over band conduction. A study at lower temperatur e can, eventually , pr ovide useful information about the conduction mechanism and the defect states in the material. Ther efor e, the study of electrical pr operties of Se-T e-Sb Based Chalcogenide Glasses in the lower temperatur e r egion (r oom temperatur e) is inter esting

In his essay , “ T radition and the individual T alent”, Eliot announces his famous theory of impersonality as well as defines ' tradition' afr esh. For Eliot 'tradition' is not the dead past but the ever -pr esent tradition, which influences every writer of the pr esent.

Agricultur e has always been celebrated as the primary and pr edominant sector in the Indian economy . T rue to this, close to 70 per cent of the people still depend on agricultur e and allied activities for their livelihood. The major portion of Indian farming is dependent on natural rain fall.
