Authors: Mr. C. Pradeep, Dr. V. L. Sathya
Abstract: The world faced many levels of changes and was full of the psychological mysteries at the post world war era. Most of the people had struggles in adapting the changes in customs and cultures suddenly. The post-modernistic writings evolved and carry the subject matter of adapting to any situation or transformations they should undergo. Ishiguro in his novels elucidated the themes under human values and tradition. His novels dealt more with human relationships and customs. His narratives are centered in process of digging the sub-consciousness mind of the human. This study focuses on the complexities in human relationships and reminiscence as the major themes of the novel The Remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Nostalgia is more common in Post-modern writings and the story moves around the memory of the major characters. In the post world war period most of the families fall apart, lost their identity and moreover the individual minds are filled with depressions and anticipations. Their minds were subtle and filled with nostalgia. The novel depicts the complex relationship between memory and identity and how individuals construct their narratives, sometimes allowing their loyalty or ambition to alter their reminiscences.

The Prospects for Fish Diversity in Kishore Sagar Lake (Kota, Rajasthan,India)
Authors: Ekta Sharma, Dr.bilquees j. khan
Abstract: Freshwater biodiversity in India’s rivers and lakes plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and sustaining diverse ecosystems that provide essential services to both wildlife and human populations. Despite their importance, these freshwater systems are increasingly under threat from pollution, habitat degradation, overexploitation of resources, the spread of invasive species, and the growing impacts of climate change. Effective conservation strategies are essential to protect these invaluable freshwater resources and to ensure their sustainable management. Understanding the current distribution patterns of indigenous fish species is critical for biodiversity conservation and for the restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Recent assessments reveal significant shifts in the distribution of indigenous species, as well as certain alien fishes, when compared with previously documented data. Water mineralization and maximum observed water temperatures were identified as the primary environmental factors influencing fish distribution at the local scale. Habitat alteration has led to the homogenization of fish fauna, driven by the decline of rare species and the increasing penetration of alien species. Rapid population growth and inadequate water management practices further exacerbate these pressures, making the future of indigenous fish populations increasingly uncertain. This paper analyzes the current challenges facing the biodiversity of Kishore Sagar Lake, highlights key conservation concerns, and underscores the need for integrated management approaches to preserve ecosystem health and promote sustainable development.
