Monika SinghAbstract: The Partition of India in 1947 was a momentous event that reshaped the subcontinent’s political, social, and cultural fabric, creating long-lasting effects on identity, migration, and belonging. This paper focuses on how the trauma of Partition is explored in the fiction of Attia Hosain, particularly in her seminal works, Sunlight on the Broken Column, Phoenix Fled, and The Shimmering Mirage. Hosain’s literary contributions, though less studied in the context of Partition compared to her contemporaries, offer a unique lens through which to examine the psychological and emotional impact of migration, particularly for women, in a post-colonial world. |

Kajori RajkhowaAbstract: Love for Literature existed since time immemorial. Literature is imaginative works specific to the writers with their unique ways of portraying nature, the people, and the ways of life. South Asian Literature varying in poetry, drama, non-fiction, prose, and fiction exists with the themes of love, religion, redemption, revenge, etc. engulfing huge space both geographically and culturally and has been able to establish itself as one of the most incredibly rich literature to offer. In spite of the diversity of this region, children’s literature, through the concept of storytelling, finds an important aspect in the form of fables, tales, picture books, lullabies, and songs. Ample number of children’s tales from South Asia is remarkable. And when it comes to children’s literature it is Ruskin Bond, the Indian author, who has been penning down since his first novel in 1956. He has a unique way of highlighting the children in the flesh and blood of the locality encompassing nature. |

MONISH TUAKRAM CHAVANAbstract: Shylock, the Jewish moneylender in The Merchant of Venice, is often seen as a villain because he demands a pound of flesh from Antonio. However, when we look closely, we can understand that Shylock is not just a villain—he is a man who has suffered a lot. He faces discrimination and mistreatment because he is Jewish in a society that is mostly Christian. This paper argues that Shylock is a tragic hero, whose actions come from years of pain and humiliation. |

Nidhi Prakash, Oshdhish Pati Bhushan ShuklaAbstract: The paper delves into the concept of gender sensitivity, which goes beyond simply acknowledging gender differences. It requires a proactive and nuanced approach to address gender inequalities and promote gender equality across all spheres of life. The analysis reveals that gender biases often manifest in subtle yet pervasive ways, impacting women's access to education, healthcare, employment, and political participation. While policies may appear gender-neutral on the surface, their implementation can be affected by discriminatory social norms and practices, perpetuating gender inequalities.The paper highlights the importance of gender-disaggregated data, gender budgeting, and an intersectional approach to policy-making, recognizing the interconnectedness of various forms of discrimination and tailoring interventions to address the specific needs of different groups of women. The role of the state and women's movements in shaping law as a tool for social change and women's empowerment is also emphasized. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in achieving gender sensitivity in Indian public policies and calls for a transformative approach to address the deep-rooted gender inequalities. |

Dr. Jitendra Deo DhakaAbstract: Toni Morrison's 'Paradise', the final installment in her historical trilogy following 'Beloved' and 'Jazz', delves into the complex and often contradictory human yearning for an ideal existence. Set in the all-black town of Ruby, Oklahoma, and the nearby Convent, the novel dissects the very notion of paradise, revealing its inherent limitations, the dangers of exclusion, and the enduring power of female solidarity in the face of patriarchal oppression. Through a rich tapestry of characters and a non-linear narrative, Morrison explores themes of race, gender, community, and the flawed pursuit of perfection. One of the central themes of 'Paradise' is the illusory nature of paradise and the inherent dangers of exclusion. The founders of Ruby, descendants of freed slaves who sought refuge from white supremacy and even the lighter-skinned black communities, envisioned their town as a sanctuary, a pure and unadulterated haven. Their "eight-rock" identity became the cornerstone of their community, a badge of honor and a criterion for belonging. However, this rigid adherence to racial purity and self-imposed isolation ultimately breeds intolerance and violence. The very act of defining paradise by who is excluded – anyone deemed "other" – creates a fragile and ultimately unsustainable utopia. |

डाॅ0 गिरधारी लाल लोधीAbstract: 1400 से 1600 ई. का समय हिन्दी साहित्य के इतिहास में महत्वपूर्ण कालखंड रहा है। इस समय भक्ति आंदोलन का उदय हुआ। इस दौरान लिखे साहित्य पर संस्कृत साहित्य का गहरा प्रभाव दिखाई देता है। यह प्रभाव भाषा, व्याकरण, साहित्य और संस्कृति के विभिन्न पहलुओं में दिखता है। संतों ने अपनी रचनाओं में संस्कृत के तत्सम शब्दों का बहुतायत प्रयोग किया। संस्कृत, जो कि प्राचीन भारत की एक समृद्ध भाषा रही है। किसी भी साहित्य पर उसकी प्राचीन भाषा एवं संस्कृति तथा उत्पत्ति के समय वर्तमान साहित्य का प्रभाव पड़ना स्वाभाविक है। चूँकि हिन्दी भाषा की उत्पत्ति ही संस्कृत भाषा से हुई है और लगभग समस्त हिन्दी व्याकरण भी संस्कृत आधारित है, तो यह प्रभाव अत्यधिक रहा। समृद्ध संस्कृत साहित्य का प्रभाव हिन्दी ही नहीं, अपितु समस्त भारतीय साहित्य पर अत्यधिक है। आज हिन्दी भाषा का एक पृथक अस्तित्व है। हिन्दी की विशेषता रही है कि संस्कृत से सान्निध्य रखते हुए भी इसने अपनापन बनाये रखा और अपने रूप-विधान के लिये अनेक छन्द, साहित्यिक रूप और भाषा शैलियों का विकास किया है। हिन्दी की प्रगति कहीं भी संस्कृत के भार से कुण्ठित नहीं हुई है। जहाँ भी उसे संस्कृत की धारा मिली, इसे नवजीवन ही मिला। वस्तुतः अपभ्रंश के बाद संस्कृत से मिले शब्द रूपों का वरदान पाकर ही हिन्दी की नवीन शैली प्रवृत्त हुई है। यदि ‘रामचरितमानस‘ एवं ‘विनय पत्रिका‘ का परीक्षण करें, तो तुलसीदास जी ने जितने बहुसंख्यक संस्कृत शब्दों के प्रयोग किये हैं, उतने नए शब्द संस्कृत कवियों ने भी विरले ही किए हैं। |

ShambhaviAbstract: In this article, we look at how Amitav Ghosh's Gun Island depicts colonial extractivism and contemporary energy geopolitics. In a complex criticism of resource exploitation, the book offers a nuanced critique against the backdrop of global migration and climate change. This study shows how extractive capitalism has shaped and is shaping global power dynamics by comparing extractive economies of the colonial past to geopolitical conflicts over energy resources today. From the time of colonisation until the current period of reliance on fossil fuels, the research analyses the social, economic, and environmental effects of resource-driven imperialism. In addition, it delves into the ways in which the story, characters, and themes of Gun Island mirror these exploitative systems, showing how extractive industries continue to affect vulnerable populations. The study also takes into account the ways in which the novel's fundamental theme of climate-induced displacement echoes the historical effects of colonial exploitation. This study highlights the current and historical contexts to demonstrate how resource imperialism has left lasting effects and how critical it is to implement policies that promote sustainable energy. By comparing and contrasting the two Gun Islands, this research shows how literature can be a potent tool for criticising the colonial and modern-day global economic mechanisms that embody exploitation. |

Dr. Smriti ChowdhuriAbstract: Interdisciplinarity is a mode of research or education that involves amalgamation of two or more different academic disciplines into one field of study in order to generate new perspective or solutions. This integration of disciplines not only integrates knowledge from numerous academic arenas but also brings transformations in the existing ones. Interdisciplinary is not a novel approach but it came in vogue as a general critique of academic specialization. Literature is more amenable to interdisciplinary approach than other disciplines. Whether it is about close reading or contextualization of literary texts, knowledge and method of multiple academic fields like history, psychology, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, gender studies, environment studies are implemented. Especially with the proliferation of literary theories in the last century, literature has witnessed an unprecedented interdisciplinarity in its discourse. This paper tries to study the convergences of different disciplines in literature at different juncture that engendered new course of thoughts and interpretations. This paper also attempts to trace the role of interdisciplinarity in the historical development of English Literature as a discipline and the challenges it poses. This article is a theoretical study that applies analytical and qualitative methodologies to define, understand and explore the interdisciplinary in relation to English literature. |

Raja BabuAbstract: This paper explores the multifaceted struggle of women against patriarchy as portrayed in select novels written in English by Indian women novelists. Patriarchy, deeply embedded in Indian social, cultural, and familial structures, systematically restricts women’s autonomy, identity, and agency. Indian women writers have used fiction as a powerful medium to challenge these oppressive norms, revealing the complexities of gender-based discrimination and the varied modes of female resistance. This study critically examines novels by prominent authors such as Kamala Das, Arundhati Roy, and Anita Desai to |
