R. K. Singh:The Poet Who Celebrates 'senses' to attain 'Nirvana'

This paper discusses a few of R.K.Singh’s characteristic poetic traits that make him stand apart from all his contemporary Indian poets writing in English. His poetry is an honest attempt to portray the contemporary world in its true hue and color; present an inside-out delineation of the modern man; and touch upon all the so-called ‘untouchable’ i.e., topics such as ‘Sex’, ‘Prostitution’, ‘Cultural Degradation’, ‘Stinking Politics’, ‘Religion’, etc. Reader finds Singh celebrating all his senses in his ‘unique’ attempt to attain the state of complete ‘Peace’ or ‘Calm’. His poetry serves as a medium for him to reach the state of ‘nirvana’. Reader finds Singh’s poetry as a prism that diffracts the worldly affairs into different spectrums, analyses each, and again sums it all into a single hue of liberation and peace with ‘detachment’ displaying the mark of a seasoned ‘yogi’. The paper aims to encourage other researchers and people in the academia to explore recent band of emerging Indian poets expressing themselves in English. Key Words: Poetic traits, brevity, sensual imagery, social consciousness, existential concern, degrading values, politics, spirituality.

Because of its potential to disrupt economic development, it is necessary to understand the dynamics of ethnic conflict in the contemporary world. A prevalent trend in the study of ethnicity is to focus on the creation and/or maintenance of ethnic identities and mobilisation on the basis of those identities as groups compete for resources, opportunities, or political power in the context of the nation-state [Barth (1969); Brass (1985); Comaroff (1987); Mumtaz (1990)]. In this approach, an ethnic group's distinguishing markers-language, custom, dress, etc.-are treated less as manifestations of tradition which define or create the group and more as arenas of negotiation and contestation in which people strive to realise their practical and symbolic interests. This happens as individuals or families, pursuing their livelihoods with the skills and resources available to them, find (or create) opportunities or obstacles which appear to be based on' ethnic criteria. The state can intensify this process as it uses positive or negative discrimination in order to achieve some desired distribution of wealth and opportunity. In turn, political leadership becomes a key in realising the experience of shared ethnic interests. Leadership develops as a kind of dual legitimation process, i.e., as individuals or organisations seek to be accepted as spokesmen both by members of the group itself and by outsiders.

The article is devoted to procedural features and evidence during the consideration of social cases. The share of administrative lawsuits received by district administrative courts in social cases is more than 30%, which is a high figure among cases falling under the jurisdiction of administrative courts. A person goes to court when his right has already been violated by the state authorities. The administrative courts ensure the implementation of the social function of the state. Allegations that administrative courts serve public authorities are unfounded. Evidence of the court is provided by the parties to the case. The court can only invite the parties to provide evidence and collect evidence on their own initiative. The principle remains fundamental, in cases of illegality of decisions, actions or omissions of the public authorities, the burden of proving the legality of its decision, action or omission rests with the defendant. There is a problem of the possibility of considering social disputes under the rules of summary proceedings with the summons of the parties to the case in the event that there is a need to obtain an explanation from the parties or to examine witnesses. There is a need for legislative regulation of the possibility for the court to consider social disputes in the manner prescribed by the provisions of Article 262 of the Administrative Code of Judgment of Ukraine, after the opening of proceedings in the manner prescribed by the provisions of Article 263 of the Administrative Code of Judgment of Ukraine. It is important to ensure the possibility to continue the consideration of the case in the simplified claim procedure, with the summoning of the parties to the court session, after the opening of the simplified proceedings without summoning the parties. Key words: social disputes, district administrative court, evidence, proving, general claim proceedings, simplified proceedings.
