Priyamvada (magazine)
''Priyamvada'' () ( the one who speaks in pleasing and elegant manner) was a Gujarati magazine founded and edited by Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi. It was established with the aim of educating women, and ran from August 1885 to 1890; it was then converted into another literary magazine, '' Sudarshan''. It was written with an informal tone, which was popular with its readership. History After serving as a deputy educational inspector at Bombay, Manilal was transferred at Bhavnagar as a professor. The contemporary social problem of women's education was of great concern to him and he had prepared a detailed scheme to address this but he was not able to implement it in Bhavnagar. Hence, he decided to establish a journal devoted to women's welfare and education. He started a monthly magazine Priyamvada from August 1885. The cost of an annual subscription was one rupee. Manilal stated the aim of magazine on the first page of first issue: The magazine also provided a forum for the disc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi
Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi (; 26 September 1858 – 1 October 1898) was a Gujarati-language writer, philosopher, and social thinker from British India, commonly referred to as Manilal in literary circles. He was an influential figure in 19th-century Gujarati literature, and was one of several Gujarati writers and educators involved in the debate over social reforms, focusing on issues such as the status of women, child marriage, and the question of whether widows could remarry. He held Eastern civilisation in high esteem, and resisted the influence of Western civilisation, a position which drew him into conflicts with other social reformers of a less conservative outlook. He considered himself a "reformer along religious lines". Manilal's writings belong to the '' Pandit Yuga'', or "Scholar Era" – a time in which Gujarati writers explored their traditional literature, culture and religion in order to redefine contemporary Indian identity when it was subject to challenge fro ...

Mass Media In Gujarat
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
