Diving into the Enigma: The Magic Realism of Haruki Murakami’s “Kafka on the Shore”
Authors: Flenninacia Basil Raj B , Shalini K B
Published: April 2024

In literature, magic realism presents real-world occurrences that combine elements of fantasy, magic, and dreams. Magic realism makes it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction and infuses regular events and ordinary life with a dreamlike quality. Most frequently, the term “magic realism” refers to the literary subgenre made popular by Latin American authors like Ruben Dario and Jose Marti in the 1950s. Japanese author Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949, during Japan’s post-World War II era. His writings are influenced by many different cultures and traditions and frequently contain magic and fantasy. In his paintings, allusions to both Western society and Japanese tradition collide. Hear the Wind Sing was the title of his debut manuscript. In Kafka on the Shore, a fifteen-year-old boy named Kafka narrates his journey in the first person as he flees his family’s curse and his father, believing that his life is condemned, but memories and dreams follow him. The book also narrates the tale of an elderly man named Satoru Nakata, who becomes able to communicate with cats despite losing his ability to read and write. Their lives are lived in parallel, and their worlds collide with one another. Portals to different worlds open up, and mysterious events start to take place. Through the use of a mystical stone known as the “entrance stone,” the lives of these two individuals merge at the end of the narrative. Time, space, and reality are all blurred in Kafka on the Shore, a literary maze full of magic, fantasies, unsettling coincidences, and mind-bending images. The main objective of the article is to present Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore as a work of magic realism by analysing the features of magic realism that are employed in the book and how the plot develops with dream-like instances that blur the boundaries between reality and the world of dreams.
Unraveling the Tyranny: Exploring the Abusive Use of Power in Animal Farms
Authors: Haritha T , Divya M
Published: April 2024

It is common for strong leaders to take advantage of common people, frequently by abusing their position of control and keeping the public silent. Similar to what transpired in the Soviet Union, George Orwell illustrates in Animal Farm how education and knowledge may be used as instruments of ultimate authority, resulting in the oppression and misery of the ignorant. The purposeful employment of ambiguous language and intimidation techniques allowed leaders to control people for their personal benefit, creating laws and disseminating false information to further their agendas. Power might have been used for the good of society as a whole, but it was instead abused and manipulated. To explore these elements, this research takes a historical approach. The persuasive examination of the misuse of power provided by this allegorical novella is impressive. Examining the people, occasions, and ideas that highlight the tyranny and oppression that are present everywhere, this investigation digs into the complex layers of Animal Farm.

In this article, three different indices NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), BNDVI (Blue Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and GNDVI (Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) are used for the identification of wheat, mustard and sugarcane crop of Saharanpur district’s region of Uttar Pradesh. Sentinel 2B satellite images are collected from October 02, 2018 to April 15, 2019. These images are processed using Google Earth Engine. These sentinel images are used to generate NDVI, BNDVI and GNDVI images using GEE. These three different indices images are further processed using SNAP software and particular indices values for 210 different locations are calculated. The same process is used for calculating BNDVI and GNDVI values. ARIMA, LSTM and Prophet models are used to train the time series indices values (NDVI, BNDVI and GNDVI) of wheat, mustard and sugarcane crop. these models are used to analyse MSE (mean absolute percentage error) and RMSE values by considering various parameters. Using ARIMA Model, for wheat crop GNDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.020, For Sugarcane crop NDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.053, For Mustard crop GNDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.024. Using LSTM model, for wheat crop NDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.036, For Sugarcane crop BNDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.054, For Mustard crop GNDVI indices shows minimum RMSE 0.026.
