SECRETARY
It is my pleasure to give this message for a one day International Conference on “Social Perspectives in Contemporary English Literature” organized by the Department of English and ROOTS Educational Trust. The social perspective in contemporary English literature is an approach to understand human behavior by placing it within its broader social context.
The social perspective opens the window into unfamiliar worlds and offers a fresh look at familiar ones. This perspective enables us to analyze and understand both the forces that contribute to the emergence and growth of a global network and our unique experiences in our small corners of life. In today’s world, the exposure towards the social evils inspires all of us to carry out our responsibilities as friends, philosophers and guides to build a better society. I am sure you will undergo an immensely rewarding experience. I believe that you will benefit highly from this Conference. My hearty greetings should go to the faculty members of the Department of English and ROOTS International Journal for organizing a Conference on an important topic of academic interest. My best wishes for the successful conduct of the International Conference.

Director
At the very outset, I express my appreciation and sincere thanks to our young energetic and dedicated staff of English Department of our college and ROOTS International Journal for organizing an International Conference on “Social Perspectives on contemporary English Literature” and the publication of the book. A college is a hub of various activities starting from teaching and learning, giving and sharing of ideas, imparting knowledge and experiences, inculcating ethics and values, innovation of various programmes.
In this context, our International Conference kindles progressive ideas among participants and in later stage, gets translated among students. We are in the era of globalization and cultural change. I am sure that speaking about Social perspective in Literature is quite apt which will bring radical changes in the minds of the youth who look forward for the betterment of the society. The theme of the Conference is very informative based on current issues which will enable the Organizers, Resource persons and the Participants to bring together on a common platform in different ideas. It is believed that such interaction would be lightly effective in pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge in different areas of literature. I hope that this book would go a long way in fulfilling the objectives of the organizers.

Dr.Mrs.S.Rajeswari
Principal At this juncture I express my heartfelt gratitude to the
faculty members of English department and ROOTS International
Journal for organizing an international conference on “social
perspectives in contemporary English literature”. The past few
decades have witnessed an enormous interest in social perceptions
in contemporary English literature. Many contemporary writers
have argued that the goals of social perspectives that are mutually
reinforcing; ultimately they involve in the development of
worldviews and practices. I welcome with open mind the
contemporary writers and the future writers who intend to be
pioneers, ready to hone their thoughts and expressions; who dare to
dream, fulfill aspirations and can inspire others to dream and thus
take strides along the line. I believe that the conference on social
perspectives in contemporary English literature is solely to bring
enrichment and enlightment to the society. I am sure you will
undergo an immensely rewarding experience. I believe that you will
benefit highly from this conference. I wish you every success in your
deliberations and a successful conference on behalf of our
institution.
