Many different languages are spoken in India, each language being the mother tongue of tens of millions of people. While the languages and scripts are distinct from each other, the grammar and the alphabet are similar to a large extent. One common feature is that all the Indian languages are phonetic in nature. In this paper we describe the development of a transliteration scheme Om which explo...

In recent years, mtDNA and Y chromosome studies involving human populations from South Asia and the rest of the world have revealed new insights about the peopling of the world by anatomically modern humans during the late Pleistocene, some 40,000-60,000 years ago, over the southern coastal route from Africa. Molecular studies and archaeological record are both largely consistent with autochtho...

Intergroup relation perspectives stem from research in Western contexts with clear distinctions between the dominant and nondominant groups. In South Africa, with at least 13 different cultural groups and 11 official languages, no group is dominant in all life spheres. We examine the relationship between identity and in-/out-group orientation across Black-Zulu, Coloured (mixed racial ancestry),...

In this paper, we ask the question: did the increased trade integration create or destroy jobs in the Indian manufacturing sector? We attempt to answer this question by employing a variety of methodological approaches – ...

Comparison of nucleotide sequences of the partial 1D region of foot-and-mouth disease type C viruses of Indian origin with those of European, South American, and Southeast Asian viruses revealed that the Indian viruses form a distinct genotype. The vaccine strain C IND/51/79 belongs to this genotype and may be a prototype strain of this genotype.

In this paper, we present the concept of Anusaaraka. Starting with a small introduction of natural language processing to understand the entire concept we move on to detailed overview of Anusaaraka. India is very rich when it comes to languages hence entirely different rules are needed to be incorporated for each language. Indian languages are freeword order languages hence should be dealt acco...

recent translation studies have been increasingly focusing on translators as mediators between cultures around the world and have helped us to see how the translator`s identity as a necessarily gendered rewriter impacts their works. this research studied the translation of an indian woman writer`s language and perspectives at lexical level by two iranian woman translators to find the probable e...
