 Abstract

This study complex interplay between ethnic anxiety, identity politics, and migration in Assam, a northeastern state of India that has long grappled with demographic transformation and cultural insecurities. Ethnic anxiety in Assam stems from fears of cultural dilution, economic marginalization, and political underrepresentation due to sustained migration, particularly from Bangladesh. The research investigates how Assamese nationalism, fueled by movements such as those led by the All-Assam Students' Union (AASU) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), has shaped narratives of indigenous versus outsider identities. The study studies the role of political rhetoric and media in amplifying these fears, importance how electoral strategies and media discourse often construct polarizing narratives around migration. Policy responses such as the Assam Accord (1985), the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are examined to assess their effectiveness, implications, and unintended consequences. These legal frameworks have not only failed to fully address the root concerns of Assamese communities but have also sparked new forms of exclusion, protests, and communal tension. The study underlines the rise of identity-based politics and the weakening of social cohesion in a region marked by both diversity and distrust. Finally, this study cries for a reorientation of migration as a developmental issue and recommends inclusive policymaking, protection of indigenous rights, and promotion of inter-community dialogue

 Abstract

The present research paper explores the intricate use of mythological elements in Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy, comprising The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, and The Oath of the Vayuputras. The trilogy stands as a pioneering work in Indian mythological fiction that reinterprets sacred Hindu myths within a rational, humanistic, and historically plausible framework. Amish Tripathi reimagines Lord Shiva not as an omnipotent deity but as a mortal with the potential to become divine through his actions, choices, and ethical convictions. Drawing on Vedic, Puranic, and Upanishadic traditions, the trilogy integrates myth with contemporary social, political, and moral concerns, revitalizing ancient narratives for the modern reader. Through the symbolic use of geography, character transformation, archetypes, and ethical principles such as dharma and karma, he reconstructs Indian mythology as a dynamic and evolving tradition. This paper investigates how myth functions not merely as a narrative device but as a cultural mirror reflecting evolving notions of divinity, morality, identity, and justice. It argues that Shiva Trilogy exemplifies the capacity of myth to engage critically with modernity while preserving its spiritual and philosophical essence.

 Abstract

This study zeroes in on individuals of Indian descent residing in a rather secluded locale. A whole bunch of Indians decided to spread their wings and explore opportunities in various other countries right before independence hit the scene. These folks packed their bags and bid adieu to their home countries in search of a life that's a notch above--think better job prospects, fatter pay checks, more educational opportunities, and an overall upgrade in the quality-of-life department. This bunch faces the Herculean task of connecting the dots between their rich Indian heritage and the curious cultures they stumble upon in foreign lands. A few of these Indian diaspora folks are itching to pen down their tales, eager to showcase their national identity. They rummage through their memories, tap into their social circles, embrace cultural quirks, and reflect on their surroundings, all in the name of storytelling. The realm of Indian English literature has taken a delightful leap forward, thanks to the rise of talented female Indian authors. They don't just stick to prose; they also flirt with theatre, poetry, and short stories, all while juggling a delightful mix of regional languages like Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and English. In the past two decades, the realm of English-language literature crafted by Indian women has blossomed impressively, both on the home front and across the globe. Understanding the intricacies of the Indian diaspora across various settings could be a delightful journey through the pages of diasporic Indian English literature. This article takes a delightful plunge into the legacies of Indian women diasporic writers, showcasing how their literary flair not only inspires the next generation of Indians but also elevates India's standing on the world stage. It's a journey through words that highlights the ongoing evolution of a nation, one page at a time.

 Abstract

In the pursuit of sustainable and environmentally sound energy alternatives, biodiesel has emerged as a promising candidate to replace conventional fossil fuels. This paper provides an in-depth examination of biodiesel, encompassing its production process, environmental ramifications, economic feasibility, and associated challenges. Biodiesel, primarily sourced from renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils and animal fats, undergoes transesterification, yielding fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Notably, biodiesel offers substantial environmental benefits, including reduced emissions of pollutants and potential mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions owing to its renewable feedstock origin. However, its economic viability hinges on various factors such as feedstock availability, production costs, and the regulatory landscape, with government incentives playing a crucial role in fostering market competitiveness. Despite the promise biodiesel holds, challenges persist. These encompass feedstock sourcing, distribution infrastructure limitations, and technical compatibility issues with existing diesel engines. Nonetheless, biodiesel presents opportunities beyond environmental and economic realms. It has the potential to enhance energy security by reducing dependency on imported fossil fuels while simultaneously stimulating rural development through localized production and employment generation, especially in agricultural communities. Looking ahead, technological advancements, supportive policy frameworks, and collaborative efforts are essential to address existing barriers and accelerate the integration of biodiesel into the global energy portfolio. Such endeavors are vital for realizing the full potential of biodiesel in contributing to a sustainable and resilient energy future. Thus, this paper underscores the significance of biodiesel as a viable alternative to conventional fuels and underscores the need for concerted action to unlock its benefits while navigating its associated challenges.
