ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I express my sincere gratitude to my research guide Dr. P. Kannan, Associate


Professor, Department of English, Karnatak College, Dharwad, who developed my
analytical and writing skills through his resourceful guidance. He has been a perennial
source of inspiration for me throughout the course of my research.
I express my gratitude to Dr. Vijaya Guttal, Chairperson, Department of Studies
in English, Karnatak University, Dharwad for having provided me with an opportunity to
pursue Ph.D. course in Department of Studies in English, Karnatak University, Dharwad.

gratitude.
I take this opportunity to express my deep sense of gratitude to my grandfather

Regends, UAS, Dharwad, who sowed the seeds of research in my mind, served as a role
model and constantly inspired me in my endeavor. I also fondly remember my
grandmother Late Smt. Veeramma N. Kajjari without whose blessings this
accomplishment would not have been possible.
I am highly grateful to my parents Sri. P.N. Goudnaik, Rtd. Asst. Director of
Employment & Training and Smt. Kamala P. Goudnaik

supportive to me. They have also been taking care of my daughter for the last four and a
half years and have relieved me of my responsibilities of a mother to a greater extent. I
have thus been enabled to focus my attention on my research. I am also indebted to Shri
S.H. Koujageri, Rtd. Principal and Late Smt. Kasturi S. Koujageri, Rtd. Teacher who
have bestowed on me all their blessings and made me capable of this achievement. Mrs.

world but I believe that her blessings are always with me.
I am also extremely thankful to my parents-in-law Shri. B.R. Gorawar, Rtd.
Teacher and Smt. Parvatevva Gorawar for their constant support and unflinching belief in
me. I wholeheartedly thank all my family members- all my uncles and aunts, my
brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nephew and nieces. My special thanks to my
sisters Dr. Sudha Koujageri, Mrs. Geeta Ravikumar and Mrs. Padma Suresh Meti for
their ceaseless encouragement.
I am indebted to my husband Shri. Mahesh B. Gorawar, who has stood by me in
every step and been a strong driving force in this important achievement. I ought to thank
my lovely seven year-old daughter Aditi, without whose endurance, great sense of
understanding and support, I would not have been able to undertake this task.
My heart-felt thanks are also due, to Dr. B.P. Donur, Prof. R. Narasimhan, Dr.
S.V. Kotabagi, who have supported me. The timely help of Dr. Arvind Nawale, Dr. N.

profound sense of gratitude to them. My special thanks to Dr. Sneha Kopp, who went
