How M.PHIL Shaped me as Research Scholar ?

Life is a journey from birth to death. Everyday we learn something new and while this learning process, our thinking capacity developing day by day. As same when I was in B.R.S at that time I did not know about various theories but during my M.A study I came to know about those theories. At that time I was student but now I am in M.PHIL, as a Research Scholar.

Research Scholar is much different as compare to student. First of all Research means an intellectual activity, scientifically arrangement or finding holes and try to bring some new ideas which were never noticed by anyone. And because of these reasons everybody can't be Research Scholar.

According to E.M. Forster "Genuine scholarship is one of the highest success which our race can achieve."

Research work is not an easy task, we have to do it step by step. We have to read all the things which wrote by others on our selected topic. And after reading those things we come to know that where is gap? And then start thinking in that direction. It is just process of selecting topic and to know others thoughts on the selected topic. But this process is the main thing in the Research process, it is the main base of the thesis. Another very important point is that in scholarship there is no prejudice born of national origin, creed, colour or social class. We live in truest democracy of all, the democracy of the intellect. So, Scholar must have to be alert all the time whether in society or in study.

In Research we have to use knowledge with wisdom. Only informations are worthless in research work. There is one sentence that "Learning without wisdom I a load of books on an ass's back. Research is not just an arrangement of various informations, it is more than that. It is an intellectual activity, we have to think about something new in selected topic. Before M.PHIL my knowledge of theories and literature was different. And I was writing assignments and blogs without complete understanding of the topic or we can say with half understanding. But now my perception changed because I know that before writing on any topic, I must have to get knowledge of it or related thoughts of other great scholar.

In my research work I am dealing with the novel "Pinjar". There are some lines spoken by the characters as under,

" You can't build a happy home with stolen breaks "

" There is no justice in the world; nor any God. He can do what he likes; there is no God to stop him. God's fetters were meant only for my feet "

Here I highlight only two but there are many other wonderful lines. So being a Research Scholar my enjoyment is different because before my enjoyment was in laughing and talking with friends but now it changed. As a Research Scholar I am enjoying my reading book "Pinjar". So, for me it is very different and thoughtful journey of being a Student to Research Scholar. Now my thinking capacity is developing day by day specifically during my M.PHIL study.
