 Abstract

One of the deadliest industrial disasters in history, the Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984, took thousands of lives and permanently affected the health and ecology of the city. Although the immediate destruction was unparalleled, an equally concerning catastrophe still develops in its wake: the ongoing danger from the hazardous waste still kept in the abandoned Union Carbide factory. More than 300 tonnes of dangerous chemical waste remain untreated over three decades later, leaking into the soil and polluting groundwater, which is the main water source for close by villages. Emphasizing the systematic failures in waste management, business responsibility, and government reaction, this article investigates the environmental and human rights consequences of the continuing pollution. It highlights the lived experiences of impacted people, many of whom battle chronic diseases, congenital abnormalities, and reproductive problems. Prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals causes many illnesses directly; poverty, lack of healthcare access, and bureaucratic indifference exacerbate this problem. The report emphasizes the pressing need for sustained remediation and justice for survivors by means of legal actions, administrative judgments, and community resistance activities. It also looks at how industrial disasters in the Global South are addressed by environmental law, public interest litigation, and international campaigning. Far from being a closed chapter, the Bhopal disaster is a sad reminder of the long-term effects of industrial irresponsibility and the need of environmental justice systems that give human health and dignity top priority. This paper advocates a revived worldwide dedication to corporate accountability, environmental restoration, and the empowerment of impacted communities in decision-making processes by investigating the "toxic shadows" of Bhopal.

The rapid rise of the gig economy has brought significant attention to the occupational experiences of food delivery employees. This study aims to examine the impact of occupational stress on the emotional well-being of food delivery employees, with special reference to Coimbatore City. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 160 respondents. The findings reveal that a majority of employees experience moderate to high levels of stress, with factors such as financial insecurity, poor work-life balance, and limited support systems contributing to emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and social isolation. These insights are crucial for policymakers and platform-based companies aiming to create a sustainable and supportive working environment for delivery personnel in urban areas like Coimbatore.

 Abstract

The study evaluates how Xianxia television shows, which come from Chinese fantasy TV inspired by Daoist/Buddhist mythology, support China's cultural outreach operations and strengthen national soft power capabilities. This research uses major production analyses (2015-2023) together with audience reception studies to examine three core elements: first, how Xianxia combines traditional Chinese elements with modern fantasy storytelling and second, its importance as a non-Western alternative in worldwide fantasy markets which leads to changed viewing behaviour and third, the structural barriers blocking international expansion. The research proves Xianxia dramas elevated China's cultural presence throughout Asian territories, where the industry achieved both improved soft power metrics along with robust expansion of viewership numbers. Chinese myths and historical aesthetic approaches, together with philosophical elements, create a unique formula that captivates viewers from the Chinese-speaking or Sinophone cultural areas. Western audiences face ongoing difficulties when receiving Chinese content because of cultural integration problems together with governmental media requirements alongside dominant franchise competitors. The research shows that worldwide fan groups facilitate cultural adaptation by both subtitling original content and creating digital media content. The research improves existing academic debates about cultural globalization and diversification of media markets and shifts in transnational cultural exchange patterns. The conclusion presents strategic advice to industry producers and cultural leadership groups who need to handle the difficulties of global media transfer networks.

 Abstract

The rise in the overall crime rate is quite alarming, with numerous First Information Reports (FIRs) being filed each day. In this scenario, it falls to the accused to prove their innocence by presenting evidence that backs their claims. Witness statements play a vital role in legal processes, while modern scientific techniques improve the gathering of essential information regarding the crimes committed. The introduction of DNA evidence has profoundly influenced forensic science and criminal investigations. This type of evidence may include samples such as blood, saliva, skin cells, semen, and hair. .A DNA report can have an important impact on a person's conviction by proving innocence and offering a strong defense for the accused. When evidence is insufficient, a person risks being unfairly convicted. DNA evidence plays an important role in correcting such unjust convictions because it is a valuable resource for establishing innocence and identifying the genuine offenders. While there are specific challenges and limitations associated with DNA evidence, its benefits are evident, solidifying its role as an essential instrument in the pursuit of justice.

Abstract: The textile business uses a lot of synthetic dyes, which are known to leach dangerous chemicals into water bodies and to be one of the main contributors to environmental contamination. The current study looks at environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic colours, with a focus on natural and bio-based substances. The study examines various natural dye sources, including microorganisms, plant-based dyes, and bioengineered pigments, emphasising the benefits these sources have for the environment, including reduced toxicity, lower water use, and biodegradability. The challenges of producing more environmentally friendly hues and their potential financial impact on the textile industry are also covered in the study. Through an examination of case studies and state-of-the-art technologies, the study demonstrates how switching to sustainable dyeing techniques can drastically lower the ecological impact of the textile industry while preserving the quality and vibrancy of coloured garments; at the end, the study provides recommendations for incorporating environmentally friendly dying techniques into the mainstream of textile manufacture to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship.

 Abstract

The presence of elevated iron concentrations in groundwater poses significant environmental and public health challenges, especially in regions dependent on this resource for drinking and agricultural use. Conventional methods for iron removal often involve expensive, energy-intensive processes and chemical treatments that can have adverse ecological impacts. This study explores the potential of biosorbents--natural, biodegradable materials derived from biological sources--as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for the removal of iron from groundwater. Biosorbents such as agricultural by-products, algae, and microbial biomass have been shown to exhibit high metal-binding capacities due to their functional groups, which facilitate the adsorption of iron ions. The research focuses on evaluating the efficiency of mango as a biosorbent in iron removal and the effect on its efficiency when the biosorbents are taken in different proportions. By harnessing biosorption mechanisms, this approach offers a sustainable solution that reduces environmental footprints, lowers operational costs, and promotes the use of renewable resources in water treatment technologies.

 Abstract

The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) aims to replace personal laws based on religious customs with a common set of laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all citizens of India. Supporters argue that it promotes national integration, ensures equality before the law, and upholds secularism by treating every citizen uniformly regardless of religion. They believe the UCC can empower women and marginalized groups by eliminating discriminatory religious practices. Opponents, however, fear it may erode religious freedom and cultural diversity guaranteed by the Constitution. They argue that imposing uniformity could marginalize minority communities and disrupt social harmony. The debate continues, balancing constitutional values of equality and secularism with the right to religious freedom.
