Balut (autobiography)
''Baluta'' (Marathi बलुतं) is an autobiography by the Indian writer Daya Pawar, written in the Marathi language. Dangale considers it a remarkable representative of the autobiography genre of Marathi Dalit literature. According to Kalita, ''Baluta'' "introduced autobiographical writing" to Dalit literature. ''Baluta'' is seen by the ''Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature'' as an attempt by the writer to be personal yet "objective and representative", the title generalising the status of rural untouchables. It records the writer's struggle for peace, a struggle with no chance of retaliation in "word or deed". An English translation by Jerry Pinto was published in 2015. Reactions Rao considers that ''Baluta'', as a representative of Dalit literature, was not just a faithful narration of the Dalit experience but also an "ethical challenge" to the "caste Hindu" whom it "implicated". Sharmila Rege quotes Urmila Pawar, who mentions the criticism of Dalit scholars that ''Balut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ballute
The ballute (a portmanteau of ''balloon'' and ''parachute'') is a parachute-like braking device optimized for use at high altitudes and supersonic velocities. The original ballute configuration was invented in 1948 by the Goodyear company. The innovation soon caught the attention of other organisations, including NASA; the agency incorporated ballutes into the escape system of the Gemini spacecraft. It has subsequently seen extensive use within the aerospace sector as a means of retarding the descent of various payloads, such as sections of rockets and atmospheric probes. Various proposals involving ballutes, such as for deorbiting/recovering low-mass satellites and interplanetary research programmes, have been issued in recent decades. Design The ballute is an inflatable device used to generate drag. In terms of its basic configuration, it is a cone-shaped balloon, featuring a toroidal burble fence (an inflated structure intended to ensure flow separation) that is fitted aroun ...
