Saha analyses aspects of (im)migration in texts about the Indian diaspora: if the host society is intolerant then it is through reactionary self-fashioning that the (im)migrant asserts his/her ethnicity as a defensive mechanism to rescue self-respect. However, while the host society is welcoming, it does not guarantee ready assimilation because there is always the question of severing the (im)migrants ties with his/her home land. (Im)migrants start living in two worlds simultaneously by making adjustments. They become transnationals who attempt to define their identities in terms of their point of origin and their destination followed by a second phase where ethnicity is reasserted, although this time not as a reaction against a hostile society but as displeasure against themselves. Ultimately, in the third phase, there is an understanding of how cultures enrich and an acceptance of hybrid existence becomes possible.

Silymarin (100mg/kg, p.o.) and the extracts of Cassia fistula bark (CFB 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) were administered concomitantly for 14 days to the respective groups of animals. Hepatoprotective effect of ethanolic extract of Cassia fistula bark was evident in the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg as there was significant decrease in AST, ALT, ALP, triglycerides, bilirubin, and protein levels in comparison to CCl 4 control group. Histology of the liver section of the animals treated with the ethanolic extract of Cassia fistula bark in the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, further confirmed the hepatoprotective activity.
