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. |

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. |
