recent voice of indigenous literature from Northeast India uses
personal hi(story) in her historical novel, Mari (2010) to
reconstruct and represent the unforgettable Battle of Kohima,
fought from 4th April to 22nd June 1944. She divulges the
bitter experiences of Mari along with her native people in the
war-afflicted situation during World War II and Japanese
invasion. As Kire revisits past Nagaland, she delineates the prewar, war, and post-war condition of Kohima, Nagaland using
the personal memory of her aunt, Mari who bears the
remembering self, remembered self, and historical self at the
same time. Using neo-historical approaches, this paper
investigates how Kire in the novel Mari (2010) challenges the
concept of history as a grand narrative foregrounding the
subjective narrative of Mari in the context of the Battle of
Kohima. This paper also takes into consideration how Mari’s
self and identity, as well as the collective identity of the Naga
people, are affected by the onslaught of war which leaves a scar
on the personal memory of Mari and the collective memory of
Naga people
syllabus. Job search is only one part of this process. Newer to the mix is the focus on
employability skills. These are the skills needed to keep a job and thrive in a workplace. Though
the growing importance of employability skills in higher education cannot be denied, it is only
recently that these skills been made explicit in module descriptions, particularly in India. The
main aim of the paper is to identify the need of embedding these skills into every programmes
and modules. This paper describes the primary employability skills and discusses how these
skills can be taught in an ESL classroom. It also presents some activities that can be used by the
instructor to hone the employability skills of the learners. The paper uses a descriptive
methodology to illustrate how employability skills can be taught in classes. Its main implication
is that the integration of employability skills in teaching and learning at higher education can
assist students in developing these skills together with their areas of expertise for future
employment purposes.
