The present study reveals the geo-political significance of Iraq and traces the major events in history of Iraq that led to the intervention in 2003. The events of humanitarian intervention in Iraq in 2003 and the impact of this intervention on state sovereignty of Iraq is also examined. It is made clear that any one intervention does not simply violate the sovereignty of any given target state in any one instance; it also challenges the principle of a society of states resting on a system of well-understood and habitually obeyed rules.

Vote buying has become a biggest problem in conducting free and fair elections in India. The threats they impose undermine the very nature of Indian democracy. What is the reason behind such immoral incidents in politics? The paper tries to understand these events through a case study of recently concluded RK Nagar by-poll, which saw the rise of TTV Dinakaran, the nephew of Sasikala Natarajan as a potent force in Tamilnadu politics. The paper tries to analyse the discourses of the people regarding ‘money’ and ‘politics’ dictated by their socio- political context and tries to understand the meaning they attach to ‘money’ and ‘politics’ and through that analysis, the paper tries to locate these corrupt practises in the lack of ‘Social imagination’ by its people.

The outcomes of migration have traditionally been described in terms of economic mobility. While measuring the impact of migration in terms of improved financial positioning is important, migration does not necessarily improve the economic and social status of the migrant, particularly, migrant women. This paper highlights how the impact of migration on migrant women is defined in complex terms, encompassing domestic patriarchy, social mobility, conventional femininity and sustained economic stability. The paper also focuses on the contradictory elements which determine the migratory experience of women and how their future plans are influenced by a multitude of factors, not limited by their past experiences and the socio-political climate.

Women have come a long way when it comes to fighting for their rights since the Independence. But they still have to face challenges from the male dominated society. The social reformers have done their part by raising issues for women, organizing marches and protests, fighting for women rights. There are people who have been engaged in promoting and advancing women’s interests in the recent years too. There have been programs and policies, projects and other initiatives as well to make women socially, politically and economically empowered.

One of the prominent aspects of economic, political and social relations revolves around the issues of inequality based on class, caste, race and gender. In the context of India, caste based politics has always remained in the forefront. But during the last two decades, the assertion of the people from low castes including the Dalits has assumed unprecedented significance. The Dalit question is one of the most important questions in today’s political and academic debates in India. Dalit assertion, Dalit leadership and voting pattern of the Dalits etc., are the elements of these debates. This paper is also an attempt to understand the social structure of our society and the legal and social position of Dalits in reference to the time period.

The proposed research is designed to address two major deficits in knowledge regarding the adaptation of students moving from their native place to the Indian university environment, including a lack of information about the impact of shifting on students at different age and course levels and the absence of longitudinal data regarding post-shifting adjustment. The focus of the study is on the emotional, behavioral, and academic adaptation of students, in relation to their level of post-shifting stress and the support provided by their social networks. Participants were 100 newly first year master students to last year doctoral students. Participating students from the first year master students were interviewed shortly after entry, with a second assessment 3 months later, and so were the case for others. Higher levels of stress and lower levels of social support following migration was expected to be associated with poorer adaptation. The proposed research will provide a much-needed window on the initial adaptation of moving students of which information is severely lagging with the Universities.

The Oraons believe in supernatural beings. They have superstitious practices in the form of the witchcraft, evil eye, evil spirit, exorcizing rituals by spirit doctors (Dhami), mantras, etc. They also believe in omens, wearing of amulets and auspicious or inauspicious days. Poor widowed women are sometimes tormented cruelly blaming them of witchcraft. Although the Oraon’s views are changing against the superstitious practices, still a large number of Oraons look up to Dhamis or Ojhas for their physical healing. So an attempt has been made to describe the superstitions prevalent in the Oraon society of Nepal.

India is a developing country with a huge junk of young population bearing the burden of unemployment. Government is not in position to give employment through jobs hence it requires boosting the growth of MSME to create job opportunities in large scale to curtail the growth of unemployment. If we ponder considering the present scenario we will find that there is only 7% contribution towards MSME as against 90% or more (approx) from developed countries like Japan and Germany . The development of the micro, small and medium enterprises (SME) sector is on the priority of Government Agenda.The Mission of the government is to – “Promote growth and development of globally competitive Micro, small and Medium Enterprises, including Khadi, Village and Coir industries, in cooperation with concerned Ministries / Departments, State Governments and other stakeholders by providing support to existing enterprises, encouraging creation of new enterprises with new innovative and creative ideas.

The Almighty God made a woman as an ‘ezer’ meaning helper and He made her as the last of all creation. A woman is the zenith of creation. Just as piece of musical symphony reaches its crescendo in the end, so did the whole act of creation reached its peak in a woman. She epitomizes the wonderful zenith of all creation. Women are endowed with love, care, grace, beauty and creativity. Her beauty and charm not only lies in her outer appearance but also in her ways of service and assistance. Gender these days, has become a critical category for the analysis of all kinds of data, inclusive of religious studies. Many existing issues in the debates about women and their understandings, experience, status, role and directly or indirectly influenced by religion. The study of women is still undermined in the study of geography and religion, and the comprehensive study of gender as a category with even greater connotations has hardly inaugurated. Therefore, this paper makes an inquiry to twig and figure out the roles and responsibilities of women in the sacred spaces, focusing on the oldest church in the city of Delhi. The church as a family is interlaced by women and they play a central role in knitting the church as one big family. As the author of this piece, I wish to build the intricate waltz of religion and space with a gendered lens to it and delve into the depths of women’s role in sacred spaces.
