2025-11-08T09:46:32+00:00

The issue of organizational justice is crucial in determining the attitude and behavior of the employees in organizations. This theoretical article examines how four forms of organizational justice, namely distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational, affect the five dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on the use of IT employees in Chennai. This paper relies on the existing theories of organizational behavior and research findings to develop a conceptual framework and hypotheses that relate the sub-dimensions of justice with OCB variables including altruism, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, courtesy, and civic virtue. To justify the conceptual framework, statistical implications and methods of analysis are also put forward. The paper is supposed to present a basis to future empirical studies as well as offer practicable information to HR professionals and organizational leaders.

Precipitation is the most important variable for climate change studies, and also mostly determines the drought conditions on the Earth’s surface. The present study assessed rainfall variation and monitored drought conditions in the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu, India. In this study, various statistical methods are employed to determine the annual average rainfall and seasonal rainfall over 30 years. The monthly rainfall variation was computed using Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (CV), and trends in monthly rainfall were estimated using the Mann-Kendall and Sen’s Slope test for three decades from 1990 to 2019. The drought condition in the study area was also monitored. The study’s findings indicate that the annual average rainfall has varied to some extent from year to year. Its variation has increased since 2008. Seasonally, NE monsoons have had a high amount of rainfall inall four seasons over the last 30 years. Other seasons have less rainfall variability during the years 1999 to 2011. The rainfall variation has increased to be more extreme than the state’s seasonal average, except in summer. In the SW monsoon, rainfall has increased slightly, but it’s also below the state’s seasonal average due to the dynamic changes in monthly rainfall. The monthly rainfall variation over three decades, significantly consistent in April, May, August, September, October, and November, and January, February, March, and June, shows dispersion, with CV mostly below 100% and above 100% respectively during the I and II decades.In the III decade, all the month’s rainfall variation is dispersed except Nov. Whereas, in July and Dec, the rainfall variation has been changing every decade, with its dispersion or consistent variation. The Mann-Kendall and Sen’s Slope test indicates that the trend is decreasing or increasing witha 95% confidence level of significance. Generally, excessive rainfall is recorded during the NE monsoon season in Tamil Nadu. During the first three decades, excess rainfall has been reported in Kayalpattinam, Tiruchendur, Kulasekarapattinam, and Santhankulam, whereas scanty to deficient rainfall has been reported in the other two decades.

An Analysis of the Complexities of Human Nature and Inner Turmoil in Girish Karnad’s ‘The Fire and The Rain’

2025-12-11T12:47:48+00:00

Girish Karnad’s The Fire and The Rain is a poignant exploration of the intricate and often tumultuous depths of human nature, set against the backdrop of a drought-stricken ancient Indian village. The play masterfully intertwines the narratives of its complex characters, unravelling the psychological and emotional conflicts that arise from the interplay of desire, power, and morality. As the parched landscape mirrors the spiritual and emotional arson within, Karnad exposes the fragility of human relationships and the havoc wrought by unchecked emotions, revealing how personal turmoil seeps into broader societal and spiritual crises.
Through the lives of its protagonists—Aravasu, Nittilai, Yavkri, Vishaka, Raibhya, and Andhaka—the play navigates themes of guilt, redemption, and the dual nature of destruction and renewal, symbolized by the elemental forces of fire and rain. The fire represents the consuming nature of human passions—rage, lust, vengeance—that lead to chaos and devastation, while the rain embodies the potential for cleansing, renewal, and reconciliation. Karnad’s characters grapple with inner demons, their struggles reflecting the cost of ambition, the weight of societal expectations, and the painful pursuit of redemption.
The play poses profound questions about the human condition: How do we reconcile moral responsibility with primal desires? Can redemption emerge from the ashes of our actions? Through its rich symbolism, layered storytelling, and a reimagined mythological framework, The Fire and The Rain suggests that the balance between fire and rain is delicate, and the interplay between destruction and renewal is intrinsic to the human experience. Karnad’s work thus invites audiences to reflect on the consequences of our choices and the perpetual quest for harmony in a world fraught with contradictions, leaving us to ponder the transformative power of confronting our deepest vulnerabilities.
