Dinesh Kumar Prof. Pankaj SharmaAbstract: The Anthropocene epoch is an unofficial geological time unit to mark the most recent period in Earth’s history. The term is popularly used to mark the profound and irreversible impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystem. While much scholarly attention has been given to the implications of the Anthropocene, the present paper attempts to explore the deeply rooted cultural crisis and highlights the failure of our stories to bring forth the unsaid truth. Drawing on Amitav Ghosh’s The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable, the paper examines how contemporary literature, specifically modern fiction, has failed to represent the scale and urgency of climate change. By analysing the intersections of climate, culture, and narrative, the present paper delves deeper into Ghosh’s understanding of the cultural crisis in light of climate change and catastrophic events. Ghosh critiques the Western ideals of enlightenment and progress. He argues that the Anthropocene is the outcome of modernity and the colonial legacy. The idea of human exceptionalism promoted by Renaissance humanism aggravates the Western tendency to treat nature as a subject to be exploited. This philosophical degrading of nature further unfolds into cultural detachment from nature. |

Dr Saroj NainAbstract: This study explores feminist perspectives in Shakespearean drama, focusing on the representation of gender roles and female agency in Macbeth, Othello, and The Taming of the Shrew. Through a qualitative, feminist literary analysis, the research examines how Shakespeare’s female characters—Lady Macbeth, Desdemona, and Katherine—navigate patriarchal constraints while asserting individuality and resistance. The findings reveal that Shakespeare’s portrayal of women transcends the stereotypes of his era, depicting them as complex figures who challenge societal norms through ambition, virtue, and wit. Lady Macbeth’s defiance of femininity, Desdemona’s moral strength, and Katherine’s performative adaptability exemplify varying forms of female empowerment. The study concludes that Shakespeare’s treatment of gender is both critical and progressive, offering early insights into the enduring struggle for female autonomy and voice within patriarchal structures. |

Dr. Santhosh Naik R.Abstract: Society has long fostered a mechanism for mocking and stigmatizing fellow human beings, a phenomenon deeply embedded in Indian social relations. This ranges from discrimination based on physical appearance and disability to deep-seated prejudices based on caste and community. This article analyzes the specific and systematic stigma applied to India's tribal populations, originating from the colonial era. In 1871, the British colonial government infamously enacted the 'Criminal Tribes Act,' branding approximately 192 communities, primarily nomadic and semi-nomadic groups, as 'hereditary criminals.' This legislation was an administrative, economic, and political tool to control populations that resisted colonial authority. After independence, the Act was repealed in 1952, and these communities were 'Denotified' (DNTs). However, the stigma was not legislated away; it was merely transferred, persisting through the Habitual Offenders Act and pervasive social and police prejudice. This article examines the contemporary manifestations of this stigma, including police brutality and social exclusion, through recent case studies. It further employs T.H. Marshall's (1950) tripartite model of citizenship (civil, political, and social) to argue that DNTs are systematically denied all three, rendering them citizens only in name. The article concludes that true liberation for these communities remains distant, contingent not just on legal reform but on the dismantling of deep-rooted prejudice in mainstream civil society. |
