Educating girls is equated with educating a family and so as educating a nation. Societies across globe though accord importance to education of girls, yet disparities and inequalities are noticed against girls and women. Equality of educational opportunities is fundamental to national development. It is more pertinent in the context of education of Muslim girls who are away from the mainstream of development --being born as girl and grown up with minority status. Due to efforts made by the government in last decades through DPEP and SSA programmes, states have achieved certain targets successfully in terms of educating girls in general and marginalised girls in particular. Though access has been widened and enrolment pattern has moved upward yet retention and achievement of girls in general and Muslim girls in particular has become a major concern for all states in the country. In order to enable Muslim girls to draw maximum benefits from education system, enrolment, retention and achievement are equally important. Muslim girls need extra care and attention in terms of enrolment and supporting their retention at primary stage. Therefore, enrolment pattern and retention of Muslim girls have become major concerns for the society. A number of factors has been examined and identified as the potential correlates of enrolment and retention at primary stage. Studies conducted earlier though provide sufficient empirical evidences on enrolment and retention, hardly any systematic attempt is noticed in relation to enrolment pattern and retention of Muslim primary school girls. In order to give a fillip in the existing literature on education of Muslim girls, an attempt has been made to study enrolment pattern and retention status of Muslim girls at primary stage. The present study was carried out among 500 Muslim primary school girls in five Muslim Concentrated Districts of Uttar Pradesh. Results of the study revealed that there exists variation in admission pattern and age of enrolment of Muslim girls in primary classes. It is found that retention rate of Muslim girls in selected primary schools is below the satisfactory level and Parents’ wish is the single most factors responsible for retention of Muslim girls in all selected schools. Though schools and government have taken corrective measures in terms of encouraging enrolment pattern and retention rate, yet much ground is still left out to be explored where need for involvement of parents and community is highly warranted.

The gender differences were significant in exhibition of violent & destructive behavior, misbehavior, rebellious behavior and anti-social behavior. Boys exhibit more externalizing behavior than girls. The findings expose importance of joint families for rearing children in proper behavior.

The paper explores feminist tendencies among the northern Nigerian male novelists and uses Gimba’s Sacred Apples as a representative study to depict how male novelists champion the cause of women liberation. Feminist theory is used in the analysis of the primary text. From the onset feminism has been and still is the way forward for the emancipation of women from male subjugation and this suggests social freedom that ensured equal treatment of all sexes. The findings revealed that there is growing gender consciousness among the northern Nigerian male writers of the three generations discussed in the paper. Because instead of the female authors, it is the male writers who are portraying the ways in which the patriarchal male dominated society of the northern Nigerian region oppresses women.

Convenient sampling technique was used to administer questionnaires to 500 retail investors as they conducted business through stock brokers. Data was analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between the variables. ANOVA test at five percent level of significance was used to determine the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. A multiple regression model was employed to analyze the independent variables and their effect on bear market performance. The Pearson Moment correlation analysis showed that bear market performance was weakly associated with transaction costs and mobilization of resources by retail investors. The study recommends that further research should be carried out on the economic cycle and its influence on bear market performance.
