The research aims to show how Item songs in Hindi Cinema have degraded its language and how they project women as mere objects. These Item Songs are not directly related to the story but to fetch audience and crores at Box-Office, several filmmakers place item numbers in the movies. Item songs present women in filthy clothes, vulgar lyrics, and their body parts are presented inappropriately. Dance moves and the way of presentation of these songs make it more obscene. Initially, actresses who played vamps on screen or appear for guest appearances in movies used to feature in such songs. But nowadays leading actresses also get featured in such songs as it gives rise to their career. Therefore this research focuses on the point that item songs are meant for entertainment, not for the objectification of women, and hence presentation and projection of women in Hindi movies should be changed more positively.

My research paper entitled 'Karna-The Unsung Hero of Mahabharata: The Voice of the Subaltern' appealed me a lot personally, as though this paper I did not just get the pleasure of reading several books but also got chance to do research on the greatest epic Mahabharata. Mahabharata is considered the greatest epic among all the grants and holy book, however, seeing it through the eyes of Karna, is entirely different as he is not just the greatest archer but also the unsung hero whose life is not less than any inspiration for all of us.
's Pygmalion is a complex work of art and such a number of themes and ideas stand out. However, in the play its central theme is the education of Eliza Doolittle and the progress of her soul from spiritual darkness to light. Paper discusses how Eliza a poverty-stricken, shabby girl becomes heroine of the play, which is concerned entirely with her transformation from a flower girl to a lady.Eliza proves difference with a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she is treated. She achieves spiritual illumination through successive stages of despair, self-realization, and the ultimate achievement of social identity and a sense of belonging. Therefore, her transformation is both internal and external.In the words of Jane Rolland Martin-"Eliza's is nothing less than a whole person transformation."
