Reimagining the New World: Exploration of Power Dynamics and Politics in The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) and The Hunger Games (2008)
Abstract
Dystopian literature, which has always been seen as speculative literature, has created an indisputable space for itself in recent times. There is an inevitable alliance between fact-fiction, history-literature, and arts-political science, and the paper speculates the alliance between the selected dystopian fiction and contemporary global politics. The paper seeks to explore the symbols of power structure depicted in the selected dystopian fiction and intends to address a warning against the imminent doom which human beings are sure to inflict upon themselves due to their vile and corrupt practices to attain power. A descriptive contextual analysis has been implemented on the selected texts using Marxist and Foucauldian theories to identify the similarities between the contemporary power symbols bearing socio-political issues and the power symbols represented in the selected literary texts titled, The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale.

Sylvia Plath As a Nature Poet: A Study in Psychological Landscape
Abstract
While Sylvia Plath is widely known for her confessional poetry and psychological depth , her engagement with nature forms a significant and overlooked facet of her poetry.Depiction of nature in Plath’s poetry extends beyond mere description of natural elements like sea, plants ,flowers, animals etc .Nature is fascinating and fearful at the same time. Nature is neither purely nurturing nor idyllic here.This paper examines Plath’s treatment of nature not in pastoral terms or romantic tradition but as an extension of her inner world .Drawing on key poems, this paper repositions Plath as a nature poet who begins by defining man's relation with nature - the external world and its inhabitants and moves on to man's attitude to his own self and then deals with his struggle against forces that are hostile .Her vision of nature is complex- ranging from the violent and alienating to the serene and redemptive- offering a radical redefinition of what it means to be a nature poet in 20th century.Key Words : Sylvia plath, nature, confessional poetry, landscape, identity, psychological projection, feminism, death and rebirth.

A Study on India’s Trade Relation with SAFTA Members: Indo-Bhutan Trade as a Case
Abstract
India took an active role in the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) due to its prosperity. The countries that make up SAFTA—Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal, the nation of Pakistan, the Maldives, the nation of Bhutan, plus India—agreed during the 12th SAARC summit in Islamabad on the 6th of January 2004. It created an area of free movement for the roughly 1.8 billion individuals living in the area. Seven foreign ministers in the region signed to the SAFTA concept agreement, which calls for lowering tariffs to zero by 2016. There is a great deal of speculation about its beneficial effects on intraregional trade. Being the biggest and most advanced exporter of the SAARC countries, India is required to take the initiative to expand South Asia's regional monetary ties.
This study looks at India's foreign policy approaches towards its neighbour, Bhutan, in light of the current conflicts with China, Pakistan, India, and Bangladeshi. One of the biggest unbalanced regional agreements in the world is probably this one. As a result, this research project looks at India-Bhutan relations from 2007 to the present.
Additionally, the report emphasises India's commerce and its connection with Bhutan in particular, as well as with other SAFTA members in general. In order to comprehend the diplomatic links connecting two countries in a more comprehensive manner, this article also analyses the trade relationship entre India as well as Bhutan using the research methodologies of trade transparency along with trade intensity.

Trial by Media: Social Media as the Judge, Jury and Executioner in Megha Majumdar’s A Burning
Abstract
In the present day world, life without social media has become quite unimaginable. Especially among the young adults, there is an unflinching desire to seek admiration and approval from the hundreds and thousands of people crowding social media. From what they eat to what they wear or even what they think, everything gets showcased in the social media so as to get like, shares and comments. In a way, people have forgotten to think for themselves and get swayed by the opinions projected via social media handles. And this often leads to misjudgement, fed not by reason and legal provisions but by digital outcry. Megha Majumdar’s A Burning projects a cautionary tale of this society where an innocent person is murdered by the State so as to appease the digital mob swayed by misinformation. Social media is not just a platform for connectivity; it can shape public opinion and influence legal outcomes jus t as in the case of Jivan. A casual statement made by Jivan on the facebook timeline propels a legal case against her eventually leading to her execution. Obviously, Jivan’s trial had much to do with State Politics and her status as a minority in India but the role of media in propagating falsehood and thereby swaying public opinion against her needs to be examined thoroughly.Keywords: Trial by media, digital outcry, virality, public conscience, minority status, murder by the State

बरेली जनपद में भू-जल स्तर परिवर्तन एवं गेंहू उत्पादन : एक भौगोलिक विश्लेषण
Abstract
यह अध्ययन उत्तर प्रदेश के बरेली जनपद में भू-जल स्तर में हो रहे परिवर्तनों और गेहूं उत्पादन पर उसके प्रभाव का भौगोलिक विश्लेषण प्रस्तुत करता है। भारत जैसे कृषि-प्रधान देश में भू-जल सिंचाई का मुख्य स्रोत है, और बरेली जनपद में यह निर्भरता अत्यधिक है। परंपरागत जल स्रोतों के लुप्त होते जाने और वर्षा जल के अपर्याप्त पुनर्भरण के कारण, भू-जल स्तर में लगातार गिरावट देखी जा रही है। यह गिरावट न केवल पर्यावरणीय असंतुलन की ओर संकेत करती है, बल्कि कृषि उत्पादन और किसानों की आजीविका पर भी प्रतिकूल प्रभाव डाल रही है।
शोध में वर्ष 2013 से 2022 तक के द्वितीयक आँकड़ों का उपयोग किया गया है, जिसमें केंद्रीय भू-जल बोर्ड, भारतीय मौसम विभाग और जिला सांख्यिकीय पत्रिका के आंकड़े शामिल हैं। विश्लेषण में पियर्सन सहसंबंध और निर्धारण गुणांक (R²) जैसी विधियों का प्रयोग किया गया। परिणामों से ज्ञात हुआ कि वर्षा और भू-जल स्तर के मध्य संबंध प्रबल है (PRM के लिए r = +0.6909; PTM के लिए r = −0.7757), जबकि भू-जल और उपज के बीच संबंध अपेक्षाकृत कमजोर है (r = −0.1964)। इससे स्पष्ट होता है कि उत्पादन पर जल के अलावा अन्य कारकों का भी प्रभाव है।
अतः जल संसाधनों के संतुलित उपयोग, सतही जल स्रोतों के पुनरुद्धार और जल-बचत तकनीकों के विस्तार को प्रोत्साहन देना आवश्यक है। यह अध्ययन स्थायी कृषि नीति निर्माण में योगदान देने की दृष्टि से उपयोगी सिद्ध हो सकता है।

Perinatal Outcomes in Women With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study From Rural Uttar Pradesh
Abstract
Introduction
Hypertension is a major health problem among pregnant women all over the world due to high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Globally preeclampsia and eclampsia account for nearly 14% of maternal deaths with higher incidence in developing countries, mostly because of inaccessibility to prompt medical care in obstetric emergencies.Though treating hypertension would not alter the progression of the disease, however, it has been shown that with proper antenatal care, early recognition of preeclampsia and timely intervention, decreases the frequency of hypertensive crisis and feto-maternal complicationsAim & Objectives
This study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in rural Uttar Pradesh to determine the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.Material & Methods
This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, hospital-based study conducted at K.D. Medical College in Uttar Pradesh. Data obtained from hospital medical records was analysed for perinatal outcomes.Result
In our study, 2049 deliveries were conducted in the study period; of which, 115(5.5%) cases had Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Incidence of Preeclampsia was 49(2.3%) & eclampsia 6(0.2%).51(44.3%) babies delivered had no neonatal complications during the follow up period. 20(17.3%) patients had preterm delivery. 36(31.3%) babies had fetal growth restriction. Neonatal hypoxia occurred in 13(11.3%) of babies. Neonatal mortality was 4(3.4%).Conclusion
Nearly one in 18 pregnant women in rural Uttar Pradesh suffer from a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment through regular antenatal check-up are a key factor to prevent hypertensive complications of pregnancy.

Teaching Sarojini Naidu in the 21st Century: A Pedagogical Perspective
Abstract
In an era defined by rapid socio-political transformations, digital learning, and evolving feminist and postcolonial discourses, the teaching of canonical Indian writers like Sarojini Naidu requires critical re-evaluation. This article, "Teaching Sarojini Naidu in the 21st Century: A Pedagogical Perspective," explores innovative approaches to recontextualizing Naidu’s literary and political contributions within contemporary academic frameworks. Often confined to romantic or nationalist readings, Naidu's writings—both poetic and political—offer fertile ground for interdisciplinary teaching strategies that align with present-day concerns such as gender justice, cultural identity, environmental awareness, and decolonial thinking. The article proposes that Naidu’s lyrical poetry, political speeches, and activist ethos can be used to foster critical inquiry in literature, history, and gender studies classrooms.
By analyzing selected poems and prose alongside modern critical theories—such as postcolonial feminism, ecocriticism, and cultural studies—this study outlines how Naidu’s texts can be mobilized to challenge hegemonic narratives and inspire student engagement with questions of voice, identity, and resistance. It also reflects on the role of technology in revitalizing her work through digital humanities, multimedia pedagogy, and online archives. Drawing on classroom experiences, curriculum design, and student feedback, the article ultimately advocates for a more dynamic and dialogic pedagogy that honors Naidu’s legacy while making her work relevant to a new generation. In doing so, it invites educators to move beyond static textbook portrayals and embrace Sarojini Naidu as a vibrant figure whose life and literature continue to offer meaningful insights into the challenges and possibilities of the 21st century.

Formation of Different Types Vyuha and Strategic Management: Special Reference to Kurukskhetra War
Abstract
The Kurukshetra War, as narrated in the Mahabharata, is a repository of strategic and tactical brilliance, where the concept of Vyuha (battle formations) played a pivotal role in determining the course of the conflict. Vyuhas were not merely military arrangements but comprehensive strategic frameworks, integrating planning, resource allocation, leadership, and adaptability—principles that resonate with modern strategic management. This study explores the various Vyuhas employed during the Kurukshetra War, such as the Chakravyuha, Makara Vyuh, Shakata Vyuh, and Sarvatomukha Vyuh, analyzing their objectives, structure, and execution. It emphasizes the foresight of commanders like Dronacharya, Krishna, and Bhishma in designing flexible and situationally appropriate strategies to outmaneuver opponents. The paper draws parallels between these ancient strategies and modern management models like SWOT analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and Mintzberg’s Schools of Strategy, showcasing how the principles of positioning, competitive advantage, and coordinated leadership remain timeless. By linking historical military intelligence with contemporary strategic thinking, this research highlights how Vyuhas continue to serve as a blueprint for decision-making and competitive success in diverse fields, including business, governance, and organizational leadership.

Construction and Standardization of the Metacognition Scale
Abstract
The present study aimed to construct and standardize a Metacognition Scale specifically designed to assess the metacognitive abilities of Under Graduate students. Grounded in both classical and contemporary theoretical frameworks, the scale was developed to encompass four key dimensions of metacognition: Knowledge of Cognition, Regulation of Cognition, Control of Cognition, and Experiences of Cognition. Each dimension was operationalized through clearly defined sub-dimensions, reflecting the multifaceted nature of metacognitive processes, including planning, monitoring, adaptability, and self-reflective awareness. The item pool was generated through an extensive review of literature and refined with the input of educational experts to ensure content relevance, linguistic clarity, and cultural appropriateness. Following pre-try-out and try-out stages, the scale underwent item analysis using the upper (27%)-lower (27%) group method and t-tests, leading to the retention of 36 effective items, balanced across the four dimensions. These were formatted into a five-point Likert scale, including both positive and negative statements to mitigate response bias. Reliability testing through the test-retest method indicated a statistically significant but weak negative correlation (r = -0.247, p = 0.039), suggesting a need for further refinement in temporal stability. However, the scale demonstrated strong content, face, and internal validity, confirmed by expert judgment and statistical analysis. By addressing gaps in existing tools and integrating underexplored dimensions such as control and experiences of cognition, this instrument offers a comprehensive, psychometrically sound means of evaluating metacognitive development in Under Graduate students. The scale holds promise for use in educational diagnostics, intervention planning, and further academic research.Keywords: Metacognition, Under Graduate Students.

पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय और भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद : एक विश्लेषण
Abstract
पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय भारतीय राजनीति में एक महत्वपूर्ण विचारक थे, जिनकी राष्ट्रवादी विचारधारा सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों और आत्मनिर्भरता पर केंद्रित थी। उनका सांस्कृतिक राष्ट्रवाद भारतीय पहचान, परंपरा, और धर्म आधारित सामाजिक समरसता को राष्ट्र निर्माण का आधार मानता है। यह शोध-पत्र भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद और पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय के राष्ट्रवादी दृष्टिकोण के बीच तुलनात्मक अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करता है। इसमें गांधीवादी, नेहरूवादी, सुभाषवादी और सरदार पटेल के राष्ट्रवादी दृष्टिकोणों की तुलना उपाध्याय के एकात्म मानववाद से की गई है। यह अध्ययन समकालीन भारतीय राजनीति में उनके विचारों की प्रासंगिकता की जाँच करता है, विशेष रूप से सबका साथ, सबका विकास, आत्मनिर्भर भारत, और मेक इन इंडिया जैसी नीतियों के संदर्भ में। शोध में यह भी विश्लेषण किया गया है कि सांस्कृतिक राष्ट्रवाद वैश्विक परिप्रेक्ष्य में कितना व्यवहारिक है और क्या यह समावेशी राष्ट्रवाद का प्रभावी मॉडल हो सकता है। यह शोध भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद के ऐतिहासिक विकास और भविष्य की दिशा पर पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय के विचारों के प्रभाव को उजागर करने का प्रयास करता है।

सोशल मीडिया के दुरुपयोग से बढ़ती ‘डिजिटल अरेस्ट’ की सामाजिक समस्या का अध्ययन
Abstract
देश में बीते कुछ दिनों से लोगों की जागरूकता के अभाव में ‘डिजिटल अरेस्ट’ जैसे साइबर अपराध का ग्राफ बढ़ रहा है। इसमें अपराधी, आम लोगों के सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफार्म पर मौजूद निजी जानकारी प्राप्त कर ऑनलाइन कॉल के माध्यम से खुद को कानून प्रवर्तन अधिकारी, सीबीआई अधिकारी, आयकर अधिकारी और जज के रूप में तक भी पेश करते है। कॉल की वैधता दर्शाने के लिए वे कोर्टरूम या पुलिस स्टेशन जैसा सेट-अप बनाकर वित्तीय कदाचार, कर चोरी या अन्य कानूनी उल्लंघनों जैसे विभिन्न कारणों का हवाला देते हुए डिजिटल गिरफ्तारी वारंट जारी होने की धमकी देते है। वे पीड़ितों को जाँच से अपना नाम हटवाने के नाम पर अपने बैंक खातों से बड़ी रकम अपराधियों के खातों में स्थानांतरित करने के लिए मजबूर करते है। जब पीड़ित सहमत होकर भुगतान कर देता है, तो घोटालेबाज गायब हो जाते हैं, जिससे पीड़ित को वित्तीय नुकसान और मानसिक तनाव का सामना करना पड़ता है। मानसिक टार्चर और अपनी बदनामी के डर से पीड़ित खुद को हफ्तों के लिए घर में कैद कर लेता है साथ ही किसी से कोई भी जानकारी साझा नही कर पाता है। अब तक पुलिस भी ऐसे ज्यादातर मामलों में अपराधियों को ट्रेस कर पाने में नाकाम रही है। समस्या कितनी बड़ी है इसका अंदाजा इस बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि हाल ही में देश के प्रधानमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदी को भी इस बारे में रेडियो कार्यक्रम ‘मन की बात’ से लोगों को जागरूक होने की अपील करनी पड़ी है। उधर मोबाइल पर कॉलर ट्यून के माध्यम से भी जागरूकता सन्देश भी चलाया जा रहा है। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र में शोधार्थी द्वारा सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफार्म पर सार्वजनिक की गयी निजी जानकारी से बढ़ते डिजिटल अरेस्ट जैसे साइबर अपराध की समस्या अध्ययन किया गया है।

A Historiographical Overview of the Historical Geography of the Kamata-Kuchbehar Region
Abstract
Historical geography is an interdisciplinary field that explores the spatial and temporal dimensions of past societies by synthesizing human, physical, theoretical, and empirical geographical frameworks. It seeks to understand the formation and transformation of cultural landscapes by analyzing how human communities historically interacted with, adapted to, and reshaped their local environments and ecological settings. The cultural character of any landscape is profoundly influenced by its underlying geographical context. Understanding the transformation of landscapes over time is inherently dependent on the study of landform dynamics within a temporal framework.
A comprehensive understanding of the past landscape is the vital for interpreting its evolution into the present-day cultural landscape. This article seeks to offer a historical-geographical reconstruction of the Kamata-Kuchbehar region, drawing upon diverse source materials. It endeavors to critically examine the region’s physical attributes and historical development, thereby illuminating the interplay between geography and cultural transformation over time.

The Non-Aligned Movement and Its Relevance in the Contemporary World
Abstract
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), established in 1961, emerged as a coalition of states seeking independence from the bipolar superpower rivalry during the Cold War. With 120 member countries, primarily from the Global South, NAM aimed to promote sovereignty, peace, and equitable development. This paper examines NAM’s historical foundations, its adaptation to the post-Cold War era, and its relevance in today’s multipolar world. Using a qualitative methodology involving source analysis, comparative analysis, and document review, the study evaluates NAM’s role in addressing contemporary global challenges such as economic inequality, climate change, and geopolitical tensions. The findings suggest that while NAM faces challenges like internal fragmentation and declining influence, its principles remain relevant for advocating Global South interests, promoting multilateralism, and fostering South-South cooperation. Recommendations for revitalizing NAM’s role are provided, emphasizing structural reforms and a focus on emerging global issues.

Role of Formal and Non-Formal Modes of Education in Promoting Learning Experiences
Abstract
Both formal and non-formal modes of education play a significant role in promoting learning experiences of an individual. Due to flexible nature of non-formal education it can provide learners lifelong opportunity to learn, develop skills required for employability or to start own business etc. Formal education is characterized by structured curricula, institutional settings, and standardized assessments that have traditionally been the dominant mode of knowledge transfer. The non-formal mode of education is viewed as more effective for developing practical skills and real-world applications, while formal education is seen as essential for academic knowledge and intellectual depth. These findings suggest the need for a deeper examination of how learners perceive and value these two educational approaches.

ईश्वर विलास महाकाव्य में प्रतिबिम्बित वैदिक धर्म
Abstract
प्रस्तुत शोधपत्र कविकलानिधि श्रीकृष्ण भट्ट रचित ईश्वरविलास महाकाव्य में प्रतिबिम्बित वैदिक धर्म के स्वरूप का विश्लेषण करता है। महाकाव्य में वर्णित जयपुर राजवंश के नरेशों की गहन धार्मिक निष्ठा, वैदिक परंपराओं में उनकी आस्था तथा विष्णुभक्ति का विशद चित्रण किया गया है। पृथ्वीराज, भारमल्ल, मानसिंह और जयसिंह जैसे राजा न केवल विष्णु के भक्त रहे, अपितु उन्होंने मंदिर निर्माण, तीर्थयात्रा, यज्ञ एवं सांस्कृतिक आयोजनों के माध्यम से वैदिक परंपरा को संरक्षित व समृद्ध किया।
विशेष रूप से राजा मानसिंह द्वारा आमेर में शिलादेवी मंदिर, वृन्दावन में गोविन्ददेव मंदिर, तथा विभिन्न तीर्थ स्थलों पर मंदिर-निर्माण से यह स्पष्ट होता है कि शासक-वर्ग वैदिक धर्म के संरक्षक के रूप में कार्यरत था। महाकाव्य में वर्णित मंगलाचरण, ऐतिहासिक घटनाओं एवं शिलालेखीय प्रमाणों के आधार पर यह सिद्ध होता है कि जयपुर राजवंश की राजनीति और धार्मिकता में समन्वय विद्यमान था।
यह अध्ययन न केवल एक साहित्यिक ग्रंथ की धार्मिक पृष्ठभूमि को उद्घाटित करता है, बल्कि मध्यकालीन भारत में वैदिक धर्म की पुनः प्रतिष्ठा के ऐतिहासिक प्रयासों को भी उजागर करता है।
