Abstract: This paper looks at an ancient tradition of India called 'Devadasis', popularly known as Jogini in Telangana region, which literally means servants of God. It requires girls as young as eight years to be married or dedicated to a temple deity. For this village elders celebrated a festival called 'Jogupattam'. In Telugu regions the term Jogi is a derivation of the Sanskrit word 'Yogi'. A Yogi is a revered member of society who accepts alms as a gesture of respect. In its vulgarized form 'Jogi' word is derived. But joginis are seen as little more than beggars who prostitute and humiliate themselves for virtually no remuneration. In Telangana region particularly lower caste women are dedicated to this practice. The majority are landless and spent their lives as bonded laborers, trapped in an endless cycle of loans and debts. Because of their deep rooted socioeconomic poverty, the family decided to dedicate their daughter to the Jogini system. In small temple villages religious superstition often plays a key role in the decision making process. When someone in a village community falls ill, it is not uncommon for a landlord to circulate the rumor that the illness is a result of the village deity's wrath. According to superstition, the deity's anger can be pacified through the dedication of a young girl. Hoping for appeasement, a family might choose to dedicate their daughter to the Jogini system. It is not difficult to see how religion, poverty and centuries of gender inequality act together to ensure the continued existence of Jogini culture. Most of them are Dalits and weaker sections of society. If they have children their life also deteriorates under poverty and bonded labour. Hereditary their girl childs also became joginis under social pressure. SAMSKAR: This foundation was established in 1986 by Hemalatha Lavanam. The organization dedicates itself to working with the Jogini population in the Nizamabad district . Its early efforts were aimed primarily at studying the living conditions and terms under which Jogini culture operates. Indeed Hemalata engaged in extensive tours of villages, visiting Joginis and their families and compiling numerous case studies. In 1987 SAMSKAR opened its operating center known as Chelli Nilayam in the village of Varni in Nizamabad dist. This center played a vital role in organizing health camps, literacy programs, and individual counseling. With the financial assistance of groups such as HELP-AGE,U.K. and OXFAM, pensions for elderly Joginis as well as educational programs for the young now flourish. In fact, more than 600 Joginis,along with their children and aging parents, find their way to Chelli Nilayam at least once each week. Since SAMSKAR began its work in 1986 they have received surprising amounts of support from government bodies in united Andhra Pradesh. In 1987 a National Convention of Jogini Welfare was hosted in New Delhi. In 1988 The Andhra Pradesh Devadasi Prohibition Act came into effect. The most important aspect of SANSKAR's social reform philosophy is its dedication to awareness and education. Here, the women pledge not to engage in any Jogini practices and vow not to dedicate their daughters into the system of concubinage that has ensured their slavery for generations. Hemalavanam dedicated completely to her work with women in the Nizamabad district and served a lot for emancipation Joginis and their childrens also. With the support of governor Kumud bin Joshia and Chief Minister N.T.Rama rao, she has done marriages to Joginis. By these activities most of them came out from her past life and led a normal social life.

 Abstract

Abstract Richard Powers' novel The Overstory presents a intense challenge to anthropocentric worldviews by promoting a biocentric perspective--one that recognizes the intrinsic value of all living beings, particularly trees. This research paper examines how The Overstory reimagines humanity's place in nature by emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life, the intelligence of trees, and the ethical implications of environmental destruction. Through an ecocritical analysis of key characters such as Patricia Westerford, Neelay Mehta, and Olivia Vandergriff, the study examines how Powers deconstruct human exceptionalism and promotes a deeper ecological awareness. The novel's portrayal of tree communication, deforestation, and eco-activism serves as both a literary and philosophical call for a biocentric shift in human consciousness. By mixing scientific insight with storytelling, The Overstory functions as a form of eco-activism, persuading readers to reconsider their relationship with the natural world. Ultimately, this paper argues that Powers' novel not only critiques humanity's exploitative approach to nature but also offers a vision of coexistence rooted in respect, reciprocity, and ecological responsibility.

 Abstract

Stock market prediction plays a significant role in financial analytics and strategic investment decisions. Traditional prediction models are often centralized, raising critical concerns regarding data privacy, ownership, and security--especially in regulated industries such as finance. This paper presents a novel approach that applies Federated Learning (FL), a decentralized machine learning technique, to stock price forecasting while preserving privacy. In our approach, we use historical stock data of Tesla Inc. (TSLA) and simulate multiple clients training Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models locally. The trained models are then aggregated by a central server over several rounds to form a global predictive model without exposing any raw data. A hybrid model strategy--combining federated updates with pre-trained centralized weights--is also implemented to improve training efficiency. Our system demonstrates an RMSE of approximately 34.72 and a MAPE of 6.8%, balancing accuracy with confidentiality. This study shows that Federated Learning is a feasible and effective solution for privacy-aware stock prediction in the financial sector.

 Abstract

Diabetic foot complications, especially in chronic cases, often culminate in ischemic pain and even limb amputation. Post-amputation ischemic pain remains a significant concern, affecting quality of life and wou nd healing. This case study explores the efficacy of *Raktamokshana* (bloodletting) through ''leech therapy''in managing severe ischemic pain in a 44-year-old male with a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and tobacco use, who had undergone foot amputation. Leech therapy showed marked improvement in pain and wound healing over 10 days.

 Abstract

This paper examines the evolving role of India in global governance and its engagement with multilateralism in the 21st century. As the world's largest democracy and one of the fastest- growing economies, India has emerged as a key actor in global affairs, particularly in addressing critical issues such as climate change, terrorism, and economic inequality. The study traces India's historical trajectory in global governance, from its post-colonial commitment to non- alignment to its current, more assertive participation in prominent international organizations like the United Nations, G20, and BRICS. Through a qualitative analysis of India's diplomatic strategies and its contributions to multilateral institutions, this research explores the complexities of India's approach to global governance. Key themes examined include the role of India's soft power, the influence of domestic political factors, and the challenges arising from regional tensions. Furthermore, the study highlights gaps in existing scholarship, specifically the need for more thorough investigations into India's soft power, its sector-specific contributions to global governance, and comparative analyses with other emerging economies. The paper's findings emphasize India's leadership in shaping global governance structures and its growing influence in fostering international cooperation. In navigating the complexities of multilateralism, India aims not only to assert its global standing but also to represent the interests of developing nations. This research adds to the ongoing discourse on global governance and multilateralism, providing valuable insights into India's strategies and the challenges it faces as it strengthens its position on the world stage.
