Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Everyday Social Life: A Generational Reading from Tripura, Northeast IndiaAbstractThis article examines how artificial-intelligence-enabled digital technologies are reshaping everyday social life across the human lifecycle in Tripura, Northeast India. Drawing on Jan van Dijk’s access-skills-usage model and Massimo Ragnedda’s concept of a third digital divide, it situates AI-mediated change within documentary and conceptual analysis, supplemented by informal observation and family interviews. The discussion is organised generationally, showing that children, youth, working adults, and the elderly each negotiate access, competence, and outcome differently. The analysis suggests that children increasingly favour algorithmically curated games and reels over outdoor play, with some exposure to inappropriate content and reduced peer sociability, while empirical technoference research suggests that device-mediated distraction is similarly weakening face-to-face engagement within couples and families relative to traditional norms. The article concludes that Tripura’s hill-valley geography, tribal diversity, and multilingual character demand locally grounded, rather than purely national, digital-divide scholarship and further primary research. | |

Household Resilience and Socio-Economic Marginalisation in the Border Villages of Jammu and Kashmir: A Sociological Study of Livelihoods, Services and Welfare AccessAbstractPeople living in border villages in Jammu and Kashmir suffer vulnerabilities as they deal with livelihood instability, uneven access to services, disruptions linked to security issues, and limited reach of institutions. This research paper lays out a quantitative sociological framework for investigating the link between household resilience and socio economic marginalisation in four border blocks: R.S. Bishnah, Pura, Balakote and Mendhar. Using a simulated academic dataset with labels of 400 households an index construction is done for four indices namely, Household Resilience, Socio-Economic Marginalisation, Welfare Access and Service Deprivation. A combination of descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, chi-square tests, Pearson correlations and multiple regression are used to analyze how income, livelihood diversification, welfare access, service access and community support shape household adaptation. The simulated findings indicate a mean monthly family income of INR 25,799, a mean resilience score of 55.04 and a mean marginalisation score of 51.64. There is a positive relationship between welfare access and resilience (r=0.465); further, marginalisation is positively linked to service deprivation (r=0.661). The variation in household resilience explained by our regression model is 58.9%. The findings suggest that the resilience of border villages is not merely an economic outcome; rather, it is a social process that is shaped by access to public services, local networks and institutional inclusion. | |

A Comparative Study on Study Habits of Low and High Achiever StudentsAbstractHigh achiever students are those who consistently perform above a set benchmark in their academic work, demonstrating strong command over concepts, discipline and effective learning strategies. In this study high achievers refers to the students who scored more than 75% in their final examination. Low achiever students, on the other hand, are those whose academic performance falls below the expected level foe their age, grade or peer group. Low achievers in this study refer to students who scored less than 50% in their final examination. While both groups are exposed to similar classroom environments and curricula, the manner in which they approach their studies-through time management, concentration, revision and self-discipline often differs significantly and it is this difference that the present study seeks to explore. The findings revealed marked differences between the high and low achiever students. High achievers demonstrated more consistent daily study routines, punctual homework completion, regular revision, distraction-free study practices and greater confidence before examinations compared to low achievers. The study concludes that effective study habits are a significant, learnable contributor to academic success rather than a byproduct of innate ability alone. It recommends targeted interventions-including guidance from teachers and parents, structured study routines and distraction-management strategies, to help low achieving students cultivate the habits associated with higher academic performance | |

International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples: Reflecting on Indigenous Rights and Development in IndiaAbstractAbstract The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is a global observance that takes place each year on August 9 and is used to highlight the social, political, and economic rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world. Indigenous people, also known as Adivasis, or those who consider themselves as such, make up more than 8.6% of the population of India (more than 104 million people) and are constitutionally defined as ‘Scheduled Tribes (STs)’ in the Indian context. Even with elaborate constitutional provisions for affirmative action, socioeconomic protections, and autonomy in self-governance, Indigenous communities in India remain structurally marginalized, their lands taken away, environments degraded, and their health and educational systems lacking. This study explores the situation of Indigenous rights and development in the context of international frameworks, particularly the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), in India. By employing a qualitative approach to the policy and legal study, this paper reviews pertinent domestic legislation, such as the Fifth and Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA) 1996, and the Forest Rights Act (FRA) 2006. It highlights the ongoing conflicts between the states' extractive development models and Indigenous autonomy (Swaraj) and suggests actionable policy recommendations to address gaps in implementation and close the divide between national development and sustainable Indigenous governance. | |

Raghu-Dibakar and the Prajamandal Movement in RanpurAbstractThe Prajamandal Movement of the Garjat (Feudatory) States of Orissa constitutes an important episode of the Indian struggle against colonial rule, emerging out of the agrarian grievances and political marginality in the context of indirect British rule. From among the twenty-six Garjat states, it was Ranpur that experienced one of the most violent incidents in the course of the movement, the assassination of the Political Agent, Major R. L. Bazalgette on 5 January 1939, followed by the trial and hanging of two of its prominent youths, Raghunath Mohanty and Dibakar Parida — known collectively as “Raghu-Dibakar.” Utilizing sources from published extracts from archives, newspaper accounts of the period, and the historiography on popular movements within princely states, this essay attempts to show that the level of violence witnessed in Ranpur was not a direct result of the severity of feudal rule — Dhenkanal was worse ruled by contemporary criteria — but rather a function of a specific set of local circumstances. In contrast to the experiences of Nilgiri, Dhenkanal, and Talcher, as well as the theory of peasant revolt and crowd action, the paper provides a perspective to overcome a reductionist approach of anti-colonial violence that only considers structural oppression, providing a reinterpretation of the sacrifice of Raghu-Dibakar in the context of the human consequences of the politicization process in princely India. The paper is not an account of any archival research, but a synthesis of secondary literature, as stated in Section 2. | |

Erosion of Administrative Neutrality and Public Well-being: A Study of the Forced Sterilization Campaign during India’s Emergency (1975–1977)AbstractThe Emergency in India (June 25, 1975-March 21, 1977) was a period of censorship, imprisonment, and the suspension of civil liberties. It also witnessed the systematic erosion of democratic norms. The bureaucracy turned into an instrument of political authority rather than serving the public interest. Core principles of fairness and impartiality were ignored. Administrative neutrality—the principle of functioning without political bias—was compromised, weakening the bureaucracy's ethical commitment to public well-being in a culturally diverse democracy like India. This study examines the effects of this loss of neutrality through the coercive sterilization programme that disproportionately targeted men and caused trauma, deaths, and fear. Drawing on case studies from Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh) and Uttawar (Haryana), the research shows how the politicization of the bureaucracy turned a population-control effort into a coercive fear-driven process. Comparative examples from other countries further illustrate how maintaining neutrality in implementation either improved or harmed outcomes. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that the erosion of administrative neutrality during the Emergency had detrimental effects on public well-being and contributed to the coercive and harmful effects of the forced sterilization programme. | |

Relevance of Dharma in Rehabilitation of Juvenile Delinquents: A Practical Approach to ReformationAbstractThe rehabilitation of children in conflict with the law has become a central concern of the Indian juvenile justice system, which seeks to balance accountability with opportunities for social reintegration. This paper examines whether the ethical principles embodied in the Indian concept of Dharma can contribute to strengthening contemporary rehabilitative practices. It analyses the evolution of juvenile justice legislation in India alongside classical legal sources, including the Manusmriti, Yajnavalkya Smriti, Narada Smriti, Brihaspati Smriti, and Kautilya's Arthashastra, to identify enduring ideas relating to compassion, moral responsibility, proportionality, and corrective justice. The study further evaluates the practical challenges affecting the implementation of rehabilitation under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, such as inadequate institutional capacity, limited counselling services, and weak community participation. By comparing these issues with selected international rehabilitation models, the paper argues that a value-based yet rights-oriented approach can enhance the effectiveness of existing legal mechanisms. It concludes that integrating ethical guidance with evidence-based rehabilitation strategies may improve the reintegration of juvenile offenders while preserving the constitutional commitment to child welfare and restorative justice. | |
