She argued that just because a few African Americans flatten their hair doesn’t mean Americans own dreadlocks. Also, she says Western culture welcomes and, at…

Such sites of cultural mobility where Ali discusses about ‘Bhairavi’ and ‘ghazal’ opens window to rich excavation from the exotic east. In the poem “The Season of the Plains” from his volume The Half Inch Himalayas Ali make mention of the ‘Banaras thumri-singers’.

Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT): The VBT has two most serious limitations that electrons in molecules are treated as though they are localised and behave almost as they did in isolated atoms. This means that the VBT retains the individuality of the atoms composing molecule. The problem can be resolved by introducing the resonance theory, but with the loss of the original valence bond model. Hund[ 173], Mulliken[ 174], Van Vleck[175], Helsenberg[176], Jones[ 177] and others suggested an alternate…
