English Literature: A Mirror of Indian Consciousness-How Indian Minds Reflect and Refract the English Tongue
English literature in India is not merely a reflection of linguistic adoption; it is a testimony to the evolving consciousness of a civilization negotiating history, identity, and modernity. English Literature: A Mirror of Indian Consciousness – How Indian Minds Reflect and Refract the English Tongue emerges from the recognition that English, once introduced through colonial structures, has been reimagined and reshaped by Indian writers to articulate indigenous experiences, emotions, and philosophies. The presence of English in India cannot be understood only as a historical consequence of colonial rule; it must also be seen as a space of creative negotiation. Over time, Indian writers did not simply inherit the English language—they inhabited it, questioned it, stretched its boundaries, and infused it with local rhythms, metaphors, and worldviews. In doing so, they transformed a language of power into a language of expression, resistance, and self-definition. English became a tool not of erasure, but of articulation—capable of voicing social realities, spiritual introspection, ethical dilemmas, and cultural memory rooted deeply in the Indian experience. The Indian engagement with English has never been passive. From its early encounters with colonial education to its contemporary global expressions, English in India has functioned as a site of dialogue—between tradition and change, local and global, self and society. Indian writers have transformed English into a medium capable of carrying cultural memory, social critique, spiritual inquiry, and personal introspection. This book seeks to trace that journey by examining how Indian consciousness has continuously redefined the English language. Rather than treating Indian English literature as a derivative tradition, this work positions it as an active, evolving intellectual and artistic movement. The Indian writer writing in English stands at a unique crossroads—shaped by multiple histories, languages, and cultural inheritances. This hybridity gives rise to literature that is neither wholly Western nor conventionally indigenous, but profoundly Indian in sensibility, thought, and emotional depth. The chapters of this book are organized thematically to highlight the multiple dimensions of Indian English literature. Beginning with the historical encounter between English and the Indian mind, the discussion moves through questions of identity, cultural negotiation, and literary sensibility. It explores poetry, prose, drama, feminist writing, postcolonial resistance, and diasporic narratives, culminating in an examination of contemporary voices and emerging directions. Each chapter emphasizes how English becomes Indian not by imitation but by adaptation and reinterpretation. Ultimately, this work affirms that Indian English literature is a living, dynamic field—one that continues to evolve alongside social change and global interaction. By examining how Indian minds reflect and refract the English tongue, this book invites readers to engage with literature as a mirror of consciousness, creativity, and cultural resilience—revealing how language, when reshaped by lived experience, becomes a powerful expression of identity and thought.

Criminal Justice in the Digital Age: Navigating the Landscape of Cyber Fraud and Human Rights
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed nearly every aspect of human life, from communication and commerce to governance and social interaction. While these innovations have created unprecedented opportunities for connectivity and efficiency, they have also generated new forms of criminal behaviour that challenge traditional notions of law, justice, and accountability. Among these, cyber fraud has emerged as one of the most pervasive and complex threats of the digital age, operating across borders, exploiting technological vulnerabilities, and affecting individuals, institutions, and states alike. Criminal Justice in the Digital Age: Navigating the Landscape of Cyber Fraud and Human Rights is conceived as a scholarly and pedagogical response to this evolving reality. The book seeks to examine how criminal justice systems are adapting to digital forms of crime while simultaneously safeguarding fundamental human rights. It recognizes that effective cybercrime control cannot rely solely on technological solutions or punitive measures, but must be grounded in legal principles, ethical governance, and respect for human dignity. This volume brings together perspectives from criminal law, criminology, digital forensics, human rights law, and public policy to offer an integrated understanding of cyber fraud and its implications. It traces the transformation of crime in digital environments, explores the legal and procedural frameworks governing cybercrime, and critically analyses the impact of investigative and surveillance practices on privacy, due process, and freedom of expression. Special attention is given to victims of cyber fraud, whose experiences often remain underrepresented in legal discourse despite the profound financial, psychological, and social harm they endure. The book is structured to guide readers progressively from foundational concepts to advanced and future-oriented discussions. Early chapters establish the nature of digital crime and the legal challenges it poses, while later chapters address institutional responses, cross-border enforcement, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence in criminal justice. Throughout, the emphasis remains on balance-between security and liberty, innovation and accountability, enforcement efficiency and human rights protection. This work is intended for a broad audience, including undergraduate and postgraduate students of law and criminology, researchers, legal practitioners, policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of technology, crime, and human rights. By combining conceptual clarity with practical insights, the book aims to contribute meaningfully to academic discourse and to support the development of fair, effective, and rights-respecting criminal justice systems in an increasingly digital world. It is hoped that this book will encourage critical reflection, informed debate, and thoughtful reform, helping readers navigate the complex landscape of cyber fraud and justice in the digital age.
The Psychology of Growing Minds: How Age Reshapes Thought and Emotion
Human development is often viewed as a sequence of milestones-childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age-each treated as a separate psychological chapter. Yet the human mind does not grow in isolated segments. Thought, emotion, and behaviour evolve continuously, shaped by age, experience, relationships, and the broader social world. The Psychology of Growing Minds: How Age Reshapes Thought and Emotion is written with the conviction that understanding this lifelong journey is essential not only for students of psychology but for educators, caregivers, policymakers, and individuals seeking deeper insight into themselves and others. This book adopts a lifespan perspective, emphasizing that psychological growth does not end with childhood or adolescence. Instead, each stage of life introduces new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to the world. From the sensory foundations of infancy to the reflective wisdom of late adulthood, development is presented as a dynamic process involving both continuity and change. By tracing this progression, the book highlights how early experiences influence later functioning, while also recognizing the capacity for growth, adaptation, and resilience at every age. A central aim of this work is to integrate cognitive and emotional development within their social and cultural contexts. Too often, psychological texts isolate thinking from feeling, or individual development from social influence. This book brings these elements together, showing how cognition, emotion, identity, and relationships interact across the lifespan. The discussion draws upon established psychological theories while remaining accessible, making complex ideas understandable without oversimplification. The chapters are organized to reflect key developmental periods, each explored through thematic sections that examine reasoning, emotional regulation, identity formation, and social roles. Practical illustrations and case examples are used to connect theory with lived experience, reinforcing the relevance of developmental psychology to everyday life. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on psychological well-being, ethical understanding, and the importance of supportive environments in fostering healthy development. This book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, education, and social sciences, as well as for professionals working with individuals across age groups. It may also serve as a reflective guide for readers interested in understanding their own developmental journeys. By presenting development as a shared human process, the book encourages empathy, self-awareness, and respect for the evolving nature of the human mind. Ultimately, The Psychology of Growing Minds seeks to remind readers that growth is not defined by age alone, but by the ongoing interaction between mind, emotion, and experience. Recognizing this interconnected journey allows us to better support learning, mental health, and human flourishing across the entire lifespan.

Social Currents: Understanding Change in Modern Societies
In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, globalization, and shifting social dynamics, understanding the forces driving change in modern societies is more critical than ever. Social Currents: Understanding Change in Modern Societies aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of how societies evolve, adapt, and respond to the myriad challenges and opportunities that define our globalized world. The study of social change is both fascinating and complex, as it involves examining multiple facets of human experience-from cultural transformations and shifting identities to the economic, political, and technological forces that shape social structures. The aim of this book is not just to chart the history of these changes, but to understand their implications for individuals, communities, and nations across the globe. By delving into topics like globalization, migration, inequality, social justice, and the future of social resilience, this book presents a holistic view of the ongoing transformations in the way we live, work, and relate to one another. Each chapter of Social Currents focuses on a different aspect of social change, offering both theoretical insights and practical applications. From the foundational concepts of social change in Chapter 1 to the examination of technology’s influence on social dynamics in Chapter 4, and the deep dive into inequality and social justice in Chapter 8, the book provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the forces that continue to shape societies worldwide. It also addresses the future trajectories of social change, urging us to consider how we can build inclusive, adaptive, and resilient communities in the face of ongoing challenges. This book is intended for students, researchers, and anyone with a keen interest in understanding the complexities of modern society. It combines academic rigor with real-world examples and case studies to make the subject matter accessible and relevant. Whether you're studying sociology, economics, political science, or simply curious about the shifting landscape of our global community, Social Currents offers valuable insights into the forces that are reshaping our world. We hope that this work inspires further inquiry and discussion about the ways in which we can collectively navigate the future, fostering social change that is equitable, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of all members of society. As we continue to confront the challenges of the 21st century, it is crucial to understand not just where we are headed, but how we can actively shape the direction of our social future.
Psychology of Skill Development: A Counselling-Centric Approach for Student Growth and Employability
In an era defined by rapid technological change, evolving career landscapes, and increasing psychological demands on learners, the concept of skill development can no longer be limited to technical proficiency alone. Students today are expected not only to acquire knowledge but also to adapt, communicate, manage emotions, think critically, and remain resilient in the face of continuous change. These expectations call for a deeper understanding of the psychological foundations that shape learning, performance, and employability. This book, Psychology of Skill Development: A Counselling-Centric Approach for Student Growth and Employability, is written in response to this need. The central premise of this work is that skill development is fundamentally a psychological process. Every skill—whether cognitive, emotional, social, or vocational—emerges from the interaction between the mind, brain, environment, and personal experience. Traditional education systems often emphasize outcomes while overlooking the internal barriers students face, such as fear of failure, low self-confidence, emotional stress, or lack of direction. By placing counselling at the core of skill development, this book seeks to bridge the gap between potential and performance. This transition from "learning to earning" is rarely a linear path; it is a psychological transition that requires a robust internal locus of control. As industries are disrupted by automation and artificial intelligence, the ability to manage the cognitive load of upskilling becomes a vital competency in itself. This book argues that being "job-ready" must be preceded by being "psychologically ready"—having the mental fortitude to pivot when career trajectories shift unexpectedly. By examining the neuroplasticity that allows for lifelong mastery, we can see that learning is as much an emotional endeavour as it is a physiological one. This volume integrates insights from educational psychology, counselling psychology, neuroscience, and career development studies to present a holistic framework for student growth. It explores how motivation, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience, and biological mechanisms influence the acquisition and mastery of skills. At the same time, it highlights the practical role of counsellors, educators, and mentors in guiding learners through these complex processes. It emphasizes that academic success is often the byproduct of mental well-being; when students possess the self-regulatory tools to navigate anxiety, they are far more likely to translate their technical knowledge into professional impact. The book is intended for educators, counsellors, teacher trainees, psychologists, higher education professionals, and students who wish to understand not just what skills are needed, but how they are developed and sustained. By emphasizing reflection, emotional readiness, and lifelong learning, this work aims to contribute to a more humane, inclusive, and effective approach to education and employability. Ultimately, this approach moves away from a transactional view of education toward a transformational one, where vulnerability is seen as a precursor to learning rather than a weakness. It is hoped that this book will encourage readers to view skill development as a journey of self-discovery and psychological growth—one that empowers students to navigate learning and careers with confidence, adaptability, and purpose. By fostering environments that prioritize psychological safety, we can ensure that growth is not just efficient, but deeply sustainable for the challenges of tomorrow.
Cognitive Footprints: Tracing Human Nature Through Psychology
The field of cognitive psychology has long been a cornerstone of understanding human nature, offering profound insights into how we think, learn, remember, and interact with the world. Cognitive Footprints: Tracing Human Nature Through Psychology seeks to illuminate the intricate workings of the human mind through the lens of cognitive processes, examining how mental functions shape our perceptions, decisions, emotions, and social interactions. In this book, we embark on a journey through the foundational theories, current research, and future directions in the realm of cognitive psychology. The aim of this book is not only to explore the cognitive mechanisms that drive human behaviour but also to understand the way these mechanisms evolve and adapt over time, in response to both internal and external influences. From the intricacies of memory and decision-making to the profound impact of emotions on cognition, we will explore how human cognition is intertwined with our social environment, mental health, and technological advancements. Each chapter delves into a unique aspect of cognitive psychology, offering readers an in-depth understanding of the key theories and empirical findings in the field. We start with the foundational concepts of cognitive psychology, including memory, learning, and perception, before moving into more complex topics such as decision-making, social cognition, and cognitive dysfunction. Throughout the book, case studies and real-life examples illustrate how these cognitive processes unfold in everyday life, while cutting-edge research highlights the innovations and challenges shaping the future of the field. One of the defining aspects of this book is its emphasis on the intersection between cognition and other fields, such as neuroscience, mental health, and artificial intelligence. By bridging these areas, we aim to present a comprehensive understanding of how cognition influences and is influenced by various domains, offering readers a multidimensional view of human nature. Additionally, we explore the ways in which technology is reshaping the way we think and learn, with discussions on the implications of the digital age on cognition and future directions in cognitive psychology. This book is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, neuroscience, education, and related fields, as well as anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the human mind. Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of cognitive psychology or simply curious about how cognition shapes our daily lives, Cognitive Footprints offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration of one of the most fascinating and rapidly evolving areas of scientific inquiry. We hope this book will inspire readers to reflect on the cognitive processes that guide their own thinking and behaviour, and to appreciate the profound influence cognition has on shaping the human experience.

New Dimensions of Indian Education: From Tradition to Innovation
Education in India has never been a static enterprise; it has evolved continuously in response to changing social realities, cultural values, political structures, and technological advancements. From the reflective and value-oriented traditions of ancient learning to the digitally mediated classrooms of the present day, Indian education reflects a long journey of adaptation, resilience, and reinvention. Rooted in a civilizational ethos that viewed knowledge as a path to self-realization and social harmony, Indian education has historically emphasized wisdom, ethics, and holistic growth. Over centuries, this system has encountered transformation through interaction with diverse cultures, colonial interventions, and modern state-led reforms. This book, New Dimensions of Indian Education: From Tradition to Innovation, seeks to trace that journey while critically examining how the past informs the present and shapes the future. The motivation behind this work arises from the need to view Indian education not merely as a system of institutions, examinations, and policies, but as a living social process deeply embedded in everyday life. Education in India has traditionally been linked with moral development, community responsibility, and cultural continuity, playing a vital role in shaping collective identity. In contrast, the contemporary educational landscape is shaped by forces such as globalization, technological disruption, market-oriented skill demands, and widening equity gaps. These shifts have introduced new expectations from education—ranging from employability and innovation to digital literacy and lifelong learning. This book attempts to bridge these dimensions by presenting education as both a cultural inheritance and a dynamic tool for national development and global engagement. Each chapter has been carefully designed to offer a balanced, analytical, and reflective perspective. The early chapters explore the philosophical and historical foundations of Indian education, highlighting how ancient and medieval systems prioritized holistic development, ethical reasoning, dialogue-based learning, and the transmission of knowledge across generations. The discussion then moves to the colonial period, examining how formalized schooling structures reshaped curricula, language policies, and access to education. Post-independence reforms, constitutional commitments, and policy initiatives are subsequently analysed to understand India’s efforts to democratize education and align it with developmental goals. The later sections focus on innovation, addressing themes such as digital learning ecosystems, teacher empowerment, inclusive education, multilingualism, and the future of Indian education within an increasingly interconnected global knowledge economy. This book is intended for a wide and diverse readership, including students, educators, researchers, policymakers, and readers interested in understanding the evolving landscape of Indian education. Care has been taken to ensure that the content remains academically rigorous yet accessible, grounded in authentic scholarship, and free from plagiarism. Rather than prescribing rigid solutions or singular viewpoints, the book encourages reflection, dialogue, and critical engagement with educational change across social, cultural, and institutional contexts. Ultimately, New Dimensions of Indian Education: From Tradition to Innovation aspires to contribute meaningfully to ongoing conversations about how education can honour India’s rich intellectual and cultural heritage while equipping learners to navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain world. It is hoped that this work will inspire thoughtful inquiry, informed policymaking, and responsible action toward building an education system that is inclusive, innovative, adaptable, and deeply rooted in human values.

Time Inside the Mind: Age, Memory, and Human Psychological Evolution
Time is one of the most familiar yet mysterious elements of human existence. We measure it precisely with clocks and calendars, yet we experience it subjectively-sometimes flowing effortlessly, sometimes stretching unbearably, and at other moments slipping away before we realize it has passed. This book, Time Inside the Mind: Age, Memory, and Human Psychological Evolution, is born from the recognition that time is not merely an external dimension, but a deeply psychological phenomenon shaped by memory, emotion, development, culture, and biology. The central aim of this book is to explore how human beings experience time across the lifespan. From the earliest moments of childhood, when the present dominates awareness, to later life, where reflection and reminiscence give time its depth and meaning, our relationship with time continually evolves. Memory acts as the thread that binds these stages together, allowing the past to inform the present and the future to be imagined. Understanding this dynamic relationship between time and memory offers valuable insight into human identity, decision-making, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon cognitive psychology, developmental science, neuroscience, sociology, and evolutionary perspectives. Rather than treating time as a fixed entity, the chapters examine how subjective time is shaped by cognitive growth, emotional intensity, routine, aging, cultural norms, and technological change. Special attention is given to how modern life-characterized by speed, digital memory, and extended longevity-is reshaping our temporal consciousness in unprecedented ways. The content is structured to move progressively through the human lifespan, while also situating individual experience within broader biological and cultural frameworks. Each chapter is designed to be conceptually clear and empirically grounded, making the book suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, educators, and readers with a general interest in psychology and human behaviour. Real-world examples and contemporary research are used to bridge theory and lived experience. This book is an invitation to examine the machinery behind that travel. It explores the tension between Kronos (quantitative, linear time) and Kairos (the qualitative, opportune moment). By bridging these concepts, we reveal why a childhood summer felt like an eternity, while a year in middle age vanishes in a blink. The methodology behind this volume is rooted in the "Tripartite Model of Temporal Experience": the biological clock, the cognitive processor, and the social construct. We delve into the neurochemical messengers, like dopamine, that speed up our internal metronome during moments of excitement, and the inhibitory processes that slow it down during boredom or trauma. Furthermore, we address the "scarcity mindset"—the psychological state of feeling that time is a vanishing resource—and how this impacts our decision-making, from financial investments to romantic commitments. Ultimately, Time Inside the Mind invites readers to reflect on their own relationship with time. By understanding how the mind constructs and interprets temporal experience, we gain the ability not only to study human psychological evolution but also to live more consciously within the time we have. This book hopes to encourage thoughtful engagement with the rhythms of memory, aging, and change that define the human journey.
Strategic Business Communication: Principles, Practices, and Professional Applications

Strategic Business Communication: Principles, Practices, and Professional Applications has been designed to address the evolving communication needs of students, professionals, and aspiring managers. The book integrates foundational communication theories with practical applications relevant to modern organizations. It reflects contemporary developments such as digital communication platforms, virtual collaboration, professional presentations, structured business writing, and data-driven reporting practices. Equal emphasis is placed on traditional communication skills and emerging technologies to ensure holistic competency development. This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business administration, commerce, management, engineering, and related disciplines. It may also be used as a reference guide for working professionals seeking to enhance their communication effectiveness.
Educational Psychology: The Journey Within the Learner
Education is not merely the transmission of information from teacher to learner; it is a deeply human process that unfolds within the mind, emotions, and experiences of every individual. Educational Psychology: The Journey Within the Learner is written with the belief that understanding how learners think, feel, and grow is essential for meaningful education. This book explores learning not as a mechanical activity, but as an inner journey shaped by cognition, motivation, emotion, and social interaction. In contemporary educational settings, teachers face diverse classrooms where learners differ in abilities, backgrounds, motivations, and emotional needs. Traditional approaches that focus only on curriculum content are no longer sufficient. There is a growing need for educators to understand the psychological foundations of learning in order to design inclusive, learner-centred, and supportive environments. This book responds to that need by presenting educational psychology as a practical and reflective discipline intricately connected to real classroom experiences. The chapters are organized to guide readers from foundational concepts to deeper psychological dimensions of learning. Beginning with the nature and scope of educational psychology, the book gradually moves through individual differences, cognitive development, motivation, learning theories, classroom environment, assessment practices, and learner well-being. Each chapter emphasizes the application of psychological principles to educational practice, helping readers connect theory with real-life teaching and learning situations. This book has been designed primarily for students of education, including B.Ed., M.Ed., D.El.Ed., and teacher training programs. It will also be valuable for practicing teachers, teacher educators, counsellors, curriculum designers, and anyone interested in understanding learners more deeply. The language is kept clear and accessible, while maintaining academic rigor and conceptual clarity. Examples and case illustrations are included to enhance understanding and relevance. At its core, Educational Psychology: The Journey Within the Learner encourages educators to look beyond external performance and examine the inner processes that shape learning. By understanding learners holistically-intellectually, emotionally, and socially-education can become a transformative experience for both teachers and learners. It is hoped that this book will inspire reflective teaching practices and contribute meaningfully to the development of compassionate, informed, and effective educators.
हिंदी का वैश्विक स्वर: द्विभाषीय शिक्षा की नई दिशा
भाषा मानव सभ्यता की आधारशिला है। वह केवल विचारों और भावनाओं के संप्रेषण का माध्यम नहीं, बल्कि ज्ञान के सृजन, संस्कृति के संरक्षण और सामाजिक पहचान के निर्माण की भी केंद्रीय शक्ति है। प्रत्येक भाषा अपने साथ एक विशिष्ट दृष्टिकोण, जीवन-दर्शन और सामूहिक स्मृति को वहन करती है। इसी संदर्भ में हिंदी भाषा का स्थान अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण है। हिंदी न केवल भारत की सर्वाधिक व्यापक रूप से बोली जाने वाली भाषा है, बल्कि वह विविधताओं से भरे भारतीय समाज को जोड़ने वाली एक सशक्त सांस्कृतिक कड़ी भी है। समय के साथ हिंदी ने स्वयं को साहित्य, पत्रकारिता, प्रशासन, जनसंचार और अब शिक्षा तथा प्रौद्योगिकी के क्षेत्र में भी प्रभावी रूप से स्थापित किया है। इक्कीसवीं सदी का विश्व तीव्र परिवर्तन के दौर से गुजर रहा है। वैश्वीकरण, सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी, डिजिटल माध्यमों और अंतरराष्ट्रीय संपर्कों ने शिक्षा की प्रकृति और उद्देश्य दोनों को व्यापक रूप से प्रभावित किया है। आज शिक्षा केवल स्थानीय आवश्यकताओं तक सीमित नहीं रही, बल्कि वह वैश्विक नागरिकता, बहुभाषिक दक्षता और सांस्कृतिक संवेदनशीलता को भी समाहित कर रही है। ऐसे परिवेश में एकभाषिक शिक्षा मॉडल अपनी सीमाएँ प्रकट करने लगा है। इसी पृष्ठभूमि में द्विभाषीय शिक्षा एक प्रभावी, व्यावहारिक और समावेशी शैक्षिक दृष्टिकोण के रूप में उभरकर सामने आई है। द्विभाषीय शिक्षा का मूल उद्देश्य दो भाषाओं के संतुलित और योजनाबद्ध उपयोग के माध्यम से शिक्षार्थियों की संज्ञानात्मक क्षमता, शैक्षणिक उपलब्धि और सामाजिक सहभागिता को सुदृढ़ करना है। शोध यह संकेत देते हैं कि मातृभाषा आधारित शिक्षा, जब दूसरी भाषा के साथ समन्वय में दी जाती है, तो सीखने की प्रक्रिया अधिक स्वाभाविक, गहन और दीर्घकालिक होती है। हिंदी जैसी समृद्ध और जीवंत भाषा को यदि द्विभाषीय शिक्षा के केंद्र में रखा जाए, तो यह न केवल ज्ञान के आत्मसात को सरल बनाती है, बल्कि शिक्षार्थियों को अपनी सांस्कृतिक जड़ों से भी जोड़े रखती है। यह पुस्तक इसी वैचारिक धरातल पर हिंदी के वैश्विक स्वर और द्विभाषीय शिक्षा की उभरती हुई दिशा का समग्र अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करती है। पुस्तक का केंद्रीय उद्देश्य हिंदी को केवल मातृभाषा या साहित्यिक अभिव्यक्ति की भाषा के रूप में देखने की पारंपरिक सीमा से आगे बढ़कर उसे एक सक्षम ज्ञान-भाषा के रूप में स्थापित करने की संभावनाओं को उजागर करना है। विज्ञान, प्रौद्योगिकी, सामाजिक विज्ञान, उच्च शिक्षा और शोध के क्षेत्रों में हिंदी की भूमिका को सशक्त बनाना आज समय की अनिवार्यता है, और द्विभाषीय शिक्षा इस दिशा में एक ठोस मार्ग प्रदान करती है। वर्तमान शैक्षिक परिदृश्य में यह स्पष्ट हो चुका है कि भाषा की उपेक्षा कर समावेशी और गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा संभव नहीं है। बहुभाषिक समाजों में यदि शिक्षा केवल किसी एक प्रभुत्वशाली भाषा में सीमित कर दी जाए, तो यह सामाजिक असमानताओं को और गहरा कर सकती है। इसके विपरीत, द्विभाषीय शिक्षा सामाजिक न्याय, समान अवसर और लोकतांत्रिक सहभागिता को प्रोत्साहित करती है। हिंदी और अंग्रेज़ी जैसी भाषाओं के संतुलित प्रयोग से न केवल वैश्विक दक्षता प्राप्त होती है, बल्कि स्थानीय ज्ञान प्रणालियों और सांस्कृतिक संदर्भों को भी सम्मान मिलता है। यह ग्रंथ नीति और व्यवहार, सिद्धांत और अनुप्रयोग, तथा परंपरा और आधुनिकता के बीच सेतु का कार्य करता है। इसमें द्विभाषीय शिक्षा से जुड़े वैचारिक, संज्ञानात्मक, नीतिगत और तकनीकी आयामों का विश्लेषण किया गया है। पुस्तक यह दर्शाती है कि किस प्रकार भाषा-नीतियाँ शिक्षण-अधिगम की गुणवत्ता को प्रभावित करती हैं, कैसे द्विभाषीय अधिगम बच्चों और युवाओं के बौद्धिक विकास को गति देता है, और किस तरह डिजिटल तकनीक हिंदी को वैश्विक मंच पर नई संभावनाएँ प्रदान कर रही है। उच्च शिक्षा और शोध के क्षेत्र में हिंदी की स्थिति विशेष ध्यान की मांग करती है। अब भी ज्ञान-उत्पादन का एक बड़ा हिस्सा अंग्रेज़ी तक सीमित है, जिसके कारण हिंदी माध्यम के विद्यार्थियों को कई बार अतिरिक्त बाधाओं का सामना करना पड़ता है। यह पुस्तक इस असंतुलन को रेखांकित करते हुए यह तर्क प्रस्तुत करती है कि यदि हिंदी को शोध, अकादमिक लेखन और उच्च शिक्षा में समुचित स्थान दिया जाए, तो ज्ञान का लोकतंत्रीकरण संभव है। द्विभाषीय मॉडल इस प्रक्रिया को सरल और प्रभावी बना सकता है। डिजिटल युग ने भाषा के विस्तार की सीमाओं को तोड़ दिया है। ऑनलाइन शिक्षण मंच, ई-लर्निंग संसाधन, अनुवाद तकनीक और कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता आधारित उपकरणों ने हिंदी को वैश्विक श्रोताओं तक पहुँचने का अवसर प्रदान किया है। यह पुस्तक डिजिटल माध्यमों के माध्यम से हिंदी आधारित द्विभाषीय शिक्षा की संभावनाओं और चुनौतियों दोनों पर गंभीर विमर्श प्रस्तुत करती है। तकनीक यदि संवेदनशील भाषा-नीति के साथ जुड़ जाए, तो शिक्षा अधिक समावेशी और सुलभ बन सकती है। यह ग्रंथ शिक्षाविदों, शोधार्थियों, नीति-निर्माताओं, शिक्षकों और भाषा-अध्येताओं के लिए विशेष रूप से उपयोगी है। साथ ही, यह उन सभी पाठकों के लिए भी प्रासंगिक है जो हिंदी के वैश्विक विस्तार, शिक्षा में भाषा की भूमिका और समावेशी शैक्षिक मॉडल्स में रुचि रखते हैं। पुस्तक का उद्देश्य किसी एक निष्कर्ष को थोपना नहीं, बल्कि संवाद, विमर्श और नवाचार को प्रेरित करना है। अंततः, यह पुस्तक भविष्य की ओर उन्मुख है। वह एक ऐसी शिक्षा की परिकल्पना प्रस्तुत करती है जो भाषाई विविधता को बाधा नहीं, बल्कि संसाधन के रूप में देखती है; जहाँ हिंदी अपनी सांस्कृतिक जड़ों के साथ वैश्विक मंच पर आत्मविश्वास से उपस्थित हो; और जहाँ द्विभाषीय शिक्षा ज्ञान, समानता और मानव विकास का माध्यम बने। आशा है कि यह ग्रंथ न केवल अकादमिक जगत में उपयोगी सिद्ध होगा, बल्कि नीति-निर्माण और शैक्षिक व्यवहार में भी सकारात्मक परिवर्तन की प्रेरणा बनेगा।
हिंदी साहित्य और राष्ट्रीय चेतना: ऐतिहासिक दृष्टिकोण
हिंदी साहित्य केवल सौंदर्यात्मक अभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम नहीं रहा है, बल्कि वह भारतीय समाज की आत्मा, उसकी ऐतिहासिक स्मृति और उसकी सामूहिक चेतना का संवाहक भी रहा है। समय–समय पर बदलती राजनीतिक, सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक परिस्थितियों ने जिस प्रकार राष्ट्रबोध को आकार दिया, उसी प्रकार हिंदी साहित्य ने उस चेतना को शब्द, संवेदना और दिशा प्रदान की। प्रस्तुत पुस्तक “हिंदी साहित्य और राष्ट्रीय चेतना: ऐतिहासिक दृष्टिकोण” इसी गहरे अंतर्संबंध का समग्र अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करती है। भारतीय राष्ट्रीय चेतना का विकास किसी एक घटना या काल का परिणाम नहीं है, बल्कि यह सदियों तक चले सामाजिक अनुभवों, सांस्कृतिक परंपराओं और वैचारिक संघर्षों से निर्मित हुई है। हिंदी साहित्य-भक्ति आंदोलन की जनभाषा से लेकर आधुनिक और समकालीन लेखन तक-इस चेतना को निरंतर अभिव्यक्त करता रहा है। कभी यह समता और मानवता के स्वर में सामने आई, तो कभी स्वतंत्रता, आत्मसम्मान और सामाजिक न्याय की आकांक्षा के रूप में। इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य हिंदी साहित्य के विभिन्न कालखंडों का अध्ययन करते हुए यह स्पष्ट करना है कि साहित्य ने राष्ट्रीय चेतना को केवल प्रतिबिंबित ही नहीं किया, बल्कि उसे गढ़ने, विस्तार देने और आलोचनात्मक दृष्टि प्रदान करने में भी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। यह कृति छात्रों, शोधार्थियों और साहित्य–रसिक पाठकों के लिए एक वैचारिक मार्गदर्शक के रूप में तैयार की गई है, जिससे वे हिंदी साहित्य को केवल रचनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति नहीं, बल्कि राष्ट्र की जीवंत चेतना के रूप में समझ सकें। आशा है कि यह पुस्तक पाठकों को इतिहास, साहित्य और राष्ट्र के बीच स्थापित इस गहन संवाद को समझने में सहायक सिद्ध होगी तथा हिंदी साहित्य के अध्ययन को नई दृष्टि और गहराई प्रदान करेगी।
इतिहास और स्वप्न: कल्पना से यथार्थ तक की यात्रा
इतिहास केवल अतीत की घटनाओं का क्रमबद्ध विवरण नहीं है, बल्कि वह मानव चेतना की निरंतर यात्रा का साक्ष्य भी है। यह यात्रा स्मृति, अनुभव, संघर्ष और उपलब्धियों से होकर गुजरती है। दूसरी ओर, स्वप्न मानव मन की वह सृजनात्मक शक्ति है जो वर्तमान की सीमाओं से आगे बढ़कर संभावनाओं की दुनिया रचती है। इतिहास और स्वप्न-दोनों मिलकर मानव समाज को दिशा देते हैं। यही द्वंद्व और समन्वय इस पुस्तक “इतिहास और स्वप्न: कल्पना से यथार्थ तक की यात्रा” का केंद्रीय विषय है। मानव सभ्यता का विकास केवल भौतिक संसाधनों या राजनीतिक परिवर्तनों से नहीं हुआ, बल्कि उन कल्पनाओं से भी हुआ जो बेहतर जीवन, न्यायपूर्ण समाज और सार्थक अस्तित्व की आकांक्षा से जन्मीं। कई बार ये स्वप्न मिथकों, लोककथाओं, साहित्य और कला के रूप में अभिव्यक्त हुए, तो कई बार विचारधाराओं और आंदोलनों के रूप में इतिहास का रूप ले गए। इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य यह दिखाना है कि कल्पना और यथार्थ के बीच की दूरी स्थिर नहीं होती; समय के साथ स्वप्न स्वयं इतिहास का अंग बन जाते हैं। यह कृति इतिहास को केवल तिथियों और घटनाओं की शृंखला के रूप में देखने की बजाय उसे एक जीवंत प्रक्रिया के रूप में समझने का प्रयास करती है। इसमें इतिहासलेखन, सांस्कृतिक स्मृति, औपनिवेशिक अनुभव, आधुनिकता और तकनीक जैसे विषयों के माध्यम से यह स्पष्ट किया गया है कि कैसे समाज अपने अतीत से संवाद करता है और भविष्य की कल्पना करता है। पुस्तक में साहित्य और कला को भी इतिहास की व्याख्या के महत्वपूर्ण माध्यम के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया है, क्योंकि वे मानवीय संवेदना और अनुभव को स्वर प्रदान करते हैं। यह पुस्तक विद्यार्थियों, शोधार्थियों और उन सभी पाठकों के लिए उपयोगी है जो इतिहास को केवल बीते समय का दस्तावेज़ नहीं, बल्कि वर्तमान और भविष्य को समझने का उपकरण मानते हैं। आशा है कि यह कृति पाठकों को इतिहास और स्वप्न के बीच के संबंध पर पुनर्विचार करने के लिए प्रेरित करेगी और उन्हें यह समझने में सहायता करेगी कि कल्पना से यथार्थ तक की यात्रा वास्तव में मानव सभ्यता की निरंतर कहानी है।

Magneto-Therapeutic Revolution: Energy Medicine for Modern Times
Magnet therapy, though rooted in ancient wisdom, continues to fascinate modern science with its subtle yet profound influence on human, animal, and plant life. Across cultures and centuries, magnets have been regarded not merely as objects of physical attraction but as carriers of natural energy capable of restoring balance, easing discomfort, and promoting overall wellbeing. As scientific understanding evolves, so does our curiosity about how magnetic fields interact with biological systems and how these invisible forces can be applied for healing and prevention. This book has been written to bridge traditional knowledge with contemporary perspectives. It aims to present a clear, accessible, and evidence-informed guide to the principles and practices of magnet therapy. From its historical origins to its modern applications, each chapter explores a unique dimension of biomagnetism-its role in plants, humans, animals, magnetized water and oils, the Earth's magnetic field, and the potential influence on aging and vitality. The intention behind this work is not to replace scientific medicine but to complement it by encouraging a deeper understanding of natural therapeutic methods. Readers-whether practitioners, students, or curious seekers-will find a blend of explanations, examples, and case experiences that illuminate both the science and the art of magnet therapy. In an age where health challenges are increasingly complex, the need for holistic, non-invasive approaches has never been greater. I hope this book serves as a meaningful contribution to the field of natural health and inspires further exploration, research, and thoughtful application of magnetic healing practices.
Cultural Threads of India: Traditions, Values, and Transformation
India is often described through fragments-religion, language, region, or history-yet its cultural reality cannot be fully understood through isolated categories. It is a civilization that has evolved through dialogue rather than dominance, continuity rather than rigidity, and adaptation rather than erasure. Cultural Threads of India: Traditions, Values, and Transformation is an attempt to present Indian culture as a living, breathing process shaped by time, people, and ideas. This book does not treat culture as a static inheritance frozen in the past. Instead, it approaches Indian culture as an evolving framework of meanings, practices, and values that respond to historical disruptions, social change, and global influences while retaining a distinctive civilizational core. From ancient traditions and philosophical foundations to colonial encounters, modernization, and contemporary debates, the book traces how cultural continuity and transformation coexist rather than contradict one another. The central motivation behind this work is to move beyond romanticized nostalgia and simplistic binaries such as “traditional versus modern.” Indian culture has never existed in isolation; it has grown through exchange, negotiation, and reinterpretation. Traditions survive not because they resist change, but because they possess the capacity to absorb new realities while preserving ethical and symbolic significance. This book highlights that resilience as a defining cultural strength. Written in an accessible yet academically grounded manner, the book is intended for students, educators, researchers, and general readers interested in understanding India beyond surface-level representations. It integrates insights from history, sociology, philosophy, and cultural studies without privileging any single disciplinary lens. Case illustrations and examples are used to ground theory in lived experience, making culture visible in everyday life rather than abstract discourse alone. At a time when cultural identities are often politicized or reduced to rigid narratives, this book seeks to restore nuance. It emphasizes pluralism, coexistence, and ethical reflection as essential elements of India’s cultural fabric. The hope is that readers will not only gain knowledge but also develop a deeper sensitivity toward the complexity and responsibility that come with engaging a civilization as diverse as India. Ultimately, Cultural Threads of India is an invitation-to observe, to question, and to reflect on how traditions endure, how values guide social life, and how transformation shapes the future without severing ties with the past.
Bridge & Boundaries: India’s Environmental Framework and the SDG-17 Enforcement Gap
Environmental protection in India stands at a critical crossroads. Over the past few decades, the country has developed an extensive legal and institutional framework aimed at safeguarding its forests, water bodies, biodiversity, and climate systems. At the same time, India has emerged as a committed participant in global sustainability efforts, aligning itself with international agreements and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, despite these formal commitments and policy ambitions, environmental degradation continues to intensify across regions. This book is written at this moment of tension-between intent and impact, commitment and compliance. Bridge & Boundaries: India’s Environmental Framework and the SDG-17 Enforcement Gap seek to explore this paradox. Rather than questioning the absence of environmental laws or partnerships, the book examines why strong frameworks often fail to deliver consistent results on the ground. It argues that the central challenge is not policy scarcity but enforcement weakness-shaped by institutional fragmentation, capacity constraints, uneven accountability, and the complex political economy of development. The book places SDG-17, Partnerships for the Goals, at the centre of this analysis. SDG-17 is frequently celebrated as the connective tissue of the 2030 Agenda, emphasizing collaboration across governments, private sector actors, civil society, and international institutions. However, partnerships alone do not guarantee outcomes. This work critically examines how SDG-17 functions in the Indian environmental context-both as a bridge that enables cooperation and as a boundary that reveals the limits of voluntary, non-binding mechanisms when enforcement systems are weak. This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from environmental law, public policy, governance studies, climate science, and development economics. It combines legal analysis with policy evaluation, institutional critique, and real-world case studies to present a holistic understanding of India’s environmental governance landscape. Special attention is given to climate change, environmental justice, technological innovation, and the role of communities-areas where enforcement gaps have profound social and ecological consequences.
Roots of English Literature in the Indian Soul from empire to empathy: Where English words meet Indian wisdom
Roots of English Literature in the Indian Soul: From Empire to Empathy - Where English Words Meet Indian Wisdom is a journey through the rich and complex tapestry of Indian English literature, tracing its evolution from colonial subjugation to a global voice of empathy, wisdom, and cultural hybridity. This book explores how the English language, introduced as a tool of imperial power, was eventually appropriated by Indian writers to express their unique experiences, philosophical traditions, and social struggles. The relationship between India and the English language is both profound and paradoxical. On one hand, English served as a symbol of colonial dominance, used by the British to assert control over the Indian subcontinent. On the other, it became a powerful medium for Indian writers to voice resistance, challenge colonial ideologies, and construct a modern Indian identity. Through the works of poets, novelists, and playwrights such as Rabindranath Tagore, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, and Arundhati Roy, English transformed from a colonial imposition into a tool of empowerment, enabling writers to reach both Indian and global audiences. The journey of Indian English literature is inseparable from the social and political history of India. Early Indian writers like Tagore and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay engaged with English not only to challenge colonial rule but also to explore Indian spirituality, culture, and philosophy. As the country moved toward independence, Indian English literature became an essential tool for articulating the struggles and aspirations of the people. In the post-independence era, Indian writers continued to address social issues, engage with themes of national identity, and articulate India’s place in a rapidly changing world. This book also emphasizes the intersection of Indian philosophy with Western literary traditions. It traces how Indian writers blended the profound spiritual wisdom of texts like the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Ramayana with Western literary forms. By doing so, they created a unique literary identity that resonates with readers across the globe. The theme of empathy, central to Indian philosophical thought, is explored as a key element in bridging cultures, fostering mutual understanding, and addressing universal human struggles.
21वीं सदी की शिक्षा: NEP की सोच, स्कूलों की उड़ान
आज की तेजी से बदलती दुनिया में शिक्षा का महत्व पहले से कहीं अधिक बढ़ गया है। 21वीं सदी की शिक्षा अब केवल विद्यार्थियों को ज्ञान देने तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि यह उन्हें एक सक्षम, सोचने और समस्या सुलझाने वाले व्यक्ति के रूप में तैयार करने की प्रक्रिया बन गई है। यह परिवर्तन नई शैक्षिक नीतियों, जैसे कि राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा नीति (NEP) 2020, के माध्यम से संभव हुआ है, जिसने भारतीय शिक्षा प्रणाली को 21वीं सदी की आवश्यकताओं के अनुरूप ढालने का कार्य किया है। NEP 2020 ने भारत के शैक्षिक परिदृश्य में कई महत्वपूर्ण सुधारों की दिशा निर्धारित की है। यह नीति न केवल शैक्षिक गुणवत्ता को बढ़ाने के लिए आवश्यक कदम उठाती है, बल्कि समावेशिता, समानता और तकनीकी प्रगति को शिक्षा के केंद्रीय बिंदु के रूप में प्रस्तुत करती है। यह नीति विद्यार्थियों के समग्र विकास पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती है, जिससे उन्हें अपने व्यक्तित्व, मानसिकता और कौशल के मामले में संतुलित और सशक्त बनाने के लिए दिशा मिलती है। हमारी शिक्षा प्रणाली में बदलाव की आवश्यकता इसलिए महसूस की गई क्योंकि पारंपरिक शिक्षा पद्धतियाँ, जो मुख्य रूप से ज्ञान को संकलित करने और रटने पर आधारित थीं, अब पूरी तरह से आधुनिक कार्य वातावरण और समाज की मांगों के अनुरूप नहीं हैं। NEP 2020 ने इस बदलाव के लिए आधार तैयार किया है। यह नीति विद्यार्थियों को केवल पाठ्यक्रम तक सीमित न रखकर उनके समग्र विकास, वैश्विक दृष्टिकोण, और सोचने की क्षमता को प्राथमिकता देती है। इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य NEP 2020 के दर्शन और विचारों को समझने और उसकी दिशा में किए गए सुधारों को हमारे शैक्षिक संस्थानों में लागू करने के तरीकों को स्पष्ट करना है। यह पुस्तक न केवल शिक्षकों, शिक्षाविदों और नीति निर्माताओं के लिए एक मार्गदर्शिका है, बल्कि यह प्रत्येक विद्यार्थी और उनके परिवारों के लिए भी एक प्रेरणा स्रोत है, जो शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता और सुधार के प्रति अपने दृष्टिकोण को बदलना चाहते हैं। पुस्तक में NEP 2020 के तहत पाठ्यक्रम सुधार, शिक्षक की भूमिका, तकनीकी बदलाव, समावेशी शिक्षा, और मूल्यांकन पद्धतियों पर विस्तार से चर्चा की गई है। साथ ही, यह पुस्तक उस यात्रा को भी प्रस्तुत करती है जो हम सभी को इस नीति के सफल क्रियान्वयन की दिशा में करनी होगी। यह विचारशील मार्गदर्शन न केवल भारतीय शिक्षा को सशक्त बनाएगा, बल्कि इसे वैश्विक मानकों के अनुरूप भी ढालेगा। इस पुस्तक को तैयार करते समय, हमने उन सभी पहलुओं पर ध्यान दिया है जो NEP 2020 को एक सफलता बनाने के लिए आवश्यक हैं, और हम विश्वास करते हैं कि यह पुस्तक उन सभी के लिए उपयोगी होगी जो भारतीय शिक्षा में वास्तविक और स्थायी सुधार लाने की दिशा में कार्यरत हैं।
Teaching Beyond Walls: Innovations in Modern Education
Education is evolving faster today than at any other moment in history. Classrooms once defined by four walls, blackboards, and printed textbooks have transformed into dynamic learning ecosystems powered by digital tools, immersive environments, global collaborations, and artificial intelligence. This shift is not merely technological-it represents a fundamental rethinking of how students learn, how teachers teach, and how societies prepare future generations for an increasingly interconnected world. Teaching Beyond Walls: Innovations in Modern Education explores this transformation with a forward-looking lens. Each chapter highlights a key dimension of contemporary learning-from smart classrooms and blended pedagogies to virtual reality simulations, inclusive digital practices, and responsible technology use. The aim is to help educators, policymakers, students, and innovators understand not only what is changing, but why these changes matter and how they can be applied meaningfully. Teaching beyond walls is not just a metaphor-it is a mission. As you read these chapters, may you discover ideas that spark innovation, inspire change, and empower every learner to thrive in the digital age.
The Chlorophyll Revolution: Wheatgrass as Nature’s Micro-Healer
Wheatgrass has travelled a remarkable journey—from being a humble sprout in traditional households to becoming a respected element of modern natural medicine. Its healing reputation is not rooted in trends or temporary wellness fads; instead, it is built on decades of scientific inquiry, patient experience, and the timeless wisdom of nature. This book brings together these strands of knowledge with the intention of offering readers a clear, practical, and trustworthy guide to understanding the extraordinary potential of wheatgrass. The motivation for authoring this book grew from countless real-life experiences shared by individuals who turned to wheatgrass during illnesses, fatigue, or emotional imbalances, and found renewed strength through its use. Their stories reflect not just recovery, but transformation. It became clear that wheatgrass is more than a supplement—it is a catalyst for holistic improvement in body, mind, and lifestyle. In the chapters that follow, readers will find a balanced blend of scientific evidence, therapeutic principles, cultivation techniques, and practical guidelines. The aim is to demystify wheatgrass therapy and present it in a way that is accessible to families, wellness practitioners, caregivers, and anyone seeking natural solutions to enhance their quality of life. Special emphasis has been given to dosage, regimen, modern growing technologies, and disease-specific applications so that the information remains relevant for both personal and professional use. This book is not intended as a replacement for medical treatment but as an empowering resource that complements existing knowledge about natural healing. Wheatgrass stands as a reminder that nature quietly offers powerful remedies—waiting only for our attention and respect. It is my hope that this work serves as a companion on your journey of wellness, encouraging you to trust in your body’s innate ability to heal and to explore the extraordinary benefits of this simple, vibrant green plant.
From Shakespeare to Tagore: Reinterpreting English Literature Through Indian Sensibility
English literature has traveled far beyond the borders of its origin, finding new meanings and emotional textures in diverse cultures across the world. Nowhere has this journey been as transformative and creatively fertile as in India-a land where storytelling traditions are ancient, aesthetics is deeply philosophical, and cultural exchange is woven into everyday life. This book, From Shakespeare to Tagore: Reinterpreting English Literature Through Indian Sensibility, emerges from a desire to explore that remarkable encounter. The chapters that follow examine how Indian readers, writers, translators, performers, and thinkers have engaged with English literary texts-not as passive recipients but as active interpreters. From Shakespeare being staged through Kathakali gestures to Tagore reshaping Western Romanticism with Upanishadic depth, from the colonial classroom to modern global literature, India has consistently infused English texts with its own individuality and worldview. This book does not seek to trace a linear history. Instead, it offers a tapestry of cultural interactions-adaptations, translations, reinterpretations, and hybrid forms of creativity. It highlights how rasa theory enriches the reading of Shakespeare, how Indian English novelists blend global narrative techniques with local realities, and how new digital platforms are globalizing Indian voices in unprecedented ways. Above all, the book celebrates a simple truth: literature thrives when it is shared, exchanged, and reimagined. English literature in India is not a derivative tradition; it is a dialogue-sometimes harmonious, sometimes critical, always evolving. Through this exploration, I hope readers will discover how Indian sensibilities have not only reshaped English texts but also expanded the very horizons of world literature. This work is intended for students, teachers, researchers, and all lovers of literature who believe that cultural intersections create new forms of beauty. May it inspire fresh interpretations and new pathways of understanding in the ever-growing landscape of global literary exchange.

Logistics 5.0: Intelligent Networks for a Sustainable World
The logistics industry stands at a defining moment in history. For decades, global supply chains have evolved to become faster, interconnected, and technologically enabled. Yet the disruptions of the past few years-from pandemics and geopolitical tensions to climate emergencies and digital threats-have revealed a deeper truth: efficiency alone is no longer enough. The future requires intelligence, resilience, sustainability, and above all, human-centered innovation. This book, Logistics 5.0: Intelligent Networks for a Sustainable World, emerges from this global shift. It explores how the next generation of logistics integrates artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven insight with ethical principles, environmental responsibility, and compassionate design. Logistics 5.0 is not simply an upgrade in technology-it is a new philosophy for how goods, information, and value move across the world. The chapters that follow bring together ideas from leading research, emerging industry practices, and real-world case studies to illustrate how logistics is transforming across warehouses, transportation networks, supply chain ecosystems, and last-mile operations. From digital twins and autonomous mobility to circular supply chains, blockchain-enabled trust, and climate-positive logistics, the book highlights the innovations shaping a more balanced and equitable future. This work is intended for students, professionals, educators, policymakers, and innovators who share a common goal: building supply chains that are intelligent yet inclusive, high-performing yet sustainable, automated yet human-centric. Whether you are exploring the fundamentals of Logistics 5.0 or seeking advanced insights to redesign modern operations, this book offers a comprehensive foundation. As you read, I invite you to imagine the possibilities of a world where technology strengthens-not replaces-human capability; where environmental stewardship is embedded in every logistical decision; and where global networks adapt with the speed and sensitivity needed for a rapidly changing world. Logistics 5.0 is not a distant vision. It is an unfolding reality-and together, we are shaping it.
In the quest for holistic well-being, the intersection of the gut, the brain, and our emotions has long been a mystery. For decades, scientists have focused on the brain’s influence on the body, but emerging research is now highlighting the profound impact that our gut and its microbiome have on not just digestion, but also mental health, emotional regulation, and overall hormonal balance. This book, “The Gut-Brain Story “, delves deep into the fascinating world of gut health and its powerful, often underestimated, influence on both our minds and bodies.

May this book serve as a valuable resource, offering both knowledge and actionable insights that empower you to heal, feel better, and live a more vibrant life. Welcome to the world of gut health and emotional healing where the path to wellness begins from within.
The Architect's Mindset: How to Use AI to Build Your Future (Not Just Do Your Homework)
We are living through one of the most profound technological shifts in human history. For the first time, powerful intelligent systems-capable of generating text, code, ideas, and even strategies-are available to every student, creator, and professional. The arrival of Artificial Intelligence has not just changed the tools we use; it has changed the very nature of learning, working, and building. During my 18 years leading engineering teams at companies like Apple and Intuit, I witnessed a transformation that few outside the industry fully understood: the entry-level job began to disappear. Tasks once reserved for junior engineers-writing boilerplate code, formatting reports, organizing meeting notes-became automated. AI systems started performing these activities faster, cheaper, and with increasing accuracy. This wasn’t simply a shift in technology-it was a shift in expectations. The graduates entering the workforce could no longer rely on being “trained on the job.” They were expected to arrive ready to architect solutions, not just follow instructions. This book was born from that realization. Students today stand at a crossroads. On one side is the temptation to treat AI as a shortcut-a tool to bypass effort, generate assignments, and complete tasks without learning. On the other side lies an extraordinary opportunity: to use AI as a cognitive amplifier, a mentor, a brainstorming partner, and a force multiplier for creativity and innovation. The difference between these two paths is not determined by technology-it is determined by mindset. The Architect’s Mindset is a guide to the second path. It teaches you how to think in systems, write precise prompts, verify information, and use AI not as a crutch but as an accelerant. You will learn how to manage AI the way seasoned engineering leaders manage talented but unpredictable interns-leveraging their strengths while guarding against their weaknesses. You will see how AI can elevate your research, sharpen your reasoning, accelerate your coding, and prepare you for interviews and careers that did not exist a decade ago. But this book is not merely about skill-building. It is about cultivating judgment, ethics, and intellectual ownership in a world where machines can produce fluent answers without understanding them. It urges you to remain the pilot-not the passenger-when working with intelligent systems. As you read, approach each chapter with curiosity and courage. Challenge your assumptions. Experiment with new workflows. Question everything, including the AI itself. Your education is no longer about remembering facts; it is about mastering tools, designing systems, and building the mental discipline to navigate an era defined by intelligence-both artificial and human. If this book accomplishes anything, I hope it helps you see this moment not as a threat, but as an invitation: An invitation to become the architect of your own future.
How to Build Your Real Research Profile?
Research today exists in a rapidly evolving academic landscape—one shaped by digital identities, global visibility, measurable impact, and ethical accountability. While opportunities for publishing, innovation, and recognition have expanded, the pathways to building a credible and verifiable research profile have become increasingly complex. For many students, early-career researchers, and even experienced academics, this complexity often leads to confusion, misdirection, or reliance on fragmented advice. This book, How to Build Your Real Research Profile, was written to address that gap. The central idea of this work is simple yet essential: a real research profile is built on evidence, integrity, and sustained scholarly contribution—not on claims, certificates, or appearances. In an era where academic visibility can be easily simulated but difficult to verify, this book emphasizes authenticity, documentation, and ethical practice as the foundations of long-term academic credibility. Rather than offering shortcuts or promises of instant recognition, the chapters that follow provide a structured, practical framework for building a research profile that withstands academic scrutiny. The book guides readers through the core components of modern research practice—digital identity creation, understanding research metrics, ethical publishing, structured writing, patents and innovation, authorship, conferences, academic networking, and finally, a realistic 30-day action plan to translate learning into execution. This work has been intentionally written in a clear, accessible style to serve a diverse audience, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, doctoral scholars, faculty members, independent researchers, and professionals engaged in applied research. While the examples and explanations reflect contemporary academic systems, the principles outlined are timeless: originality, transparency, consistency, and responsibility. As the publisher of this book, Wissira Research Lab brings to this work its experience as a global research support and publishing ecosystem. The Lab’s involvement is rooted in a commitment to ethical research facilitation—supporting scholars not by replacing academic effort, but by enabling researchers to navigate complex systems with clarity and confidence. Where references to structured support appear, they are included to inform readers of legitimate pathways for guidance, not as substitutes for scholarly rigor. This book is not intended to be read once and set aside. It is designed as a working companion—a reference to revisit during manuscript preparation, profile development, conference planning, patent filing, or strategic academic reflection. Readers are encouraged to engage actively with the action checklists, reflection prompts, and frameworks provided throughout the chapters. Ultimately, building a real research profile is not a single event but a lifelong process. It demands patience, ethical discipline, and a willingness to learn continuously. It is our hope that this book empowers readers to approach that journey with confidence, clarity, and a strong sense of academic responsibility.
जागरूक जनता, सुरक्षित देश: अपराध रोकथाम की दिशा
समाज की सुरक्षा केवल कानून-व्यवस्था का विषय नहीं, बल्कि नागरिक जागरूकता, सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी और तकनीक-सक्षम सतर्कता का संयुक्त परिणाम है। बदलते समय में अपराध के स्वरूप भी बदल रहे हैं-जहाँ एक ओर पारंपरिक अपराध चुनौतियाँ बनाए हुए हैं, वहीं दूसरी ओर डिजिटल युग में साइबर अपराध, ऑनलाइन धोखाधड़ी और तकनीक–आधारित आपराधिक तरीकों का विस्तार हो रहा है। ऐसे परिदृश्य में एक सुरक्षित देश की परिकल्पना तभी साकार होती है जब जनता स्वयं जागरूक हो, अपने अधिकारों और जिम्मेदारियों को समझे, और सुरक्षा व्यवस्था के साथ सक्रिय सहयोग करे। यह पुस्तक भारत के सामाजिक ढाँचे, तकनीकी प्रगति और कानूनी परिप्रेक्ष्य को ध्यान में रखते हुए अपराध रोकथाम के लिए एक समग्र दृष्टि प्रस्तुत करती है। इसमें समुदाय की भूमिका, पुलिस–जन सहयोग, डिजिटल सुरक्षा, महिलाओं और युवाओं की सुरक्षा, तथा भविष्य की तकनीकी रणनीतियों जैसे विषयों का सरल, व्यावहारिक और सटीक विश्लेषण किया गया है। प्रत्येक अध्याय नागरिकों, प्रशासन और नीति-निर्माताओं के लिए ऐसे उपाय सुझाता है जो न केवल अपराध को नियंत्रित करें, बल्कि उसके मूल कारणों को भी संबोधित करें। इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य डर पैदा करना नहीं, बल्कि एक ऐसे समाज की ओर प्रेरित करना है जहाँ लोग एक-दूसरे की सुरक्षा के लिए जिम्मेदारी महसूस करें-जहाँ सामुदायिक विश्वास, तकनीक का सदुपयोग और कानूनी जागरूकता मिलकर एक सुरक्षित वातावरण बनाएँ। आशा है कि यह पुस्तक न केवल सोच को जागृत करेगी, बल्कि व्यवहार में सकारात्मक परिवर्तन लाने के लिए एक व्यावहारिक मार्गदर्शक सिद्ध होगी।
प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा: भारतीय जीवन-चिकित्सा की शाश्वत स्वास्थ्य परंपरा
प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा, जिसे नातूरोपैथी भी कहा जाता है, एक ऐसी चिकित्सा पद्धति है जो शरीर, मन और आत्मा के संतुलन पर आधारित है। यह पद्धति हमें यह समझने का अवसर देती है कि शरीर की स्वाभाविक उपचार क्षमता को कैसे सक्रिय किया जा सकता है, और इसे एक प्राकृतिक तरीके से स्वस्थ बनाने के लिए क्या कदम उठाए जा सकते हैं। आज के आधुनिक चिकित्सा युग में जब कृत्रिम दवाओं और चिकित्सा उपकरणों का अत्यधिक उपयोग बढ़ रहा है, तब प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा एक वैकल्पिक और प्राचीन उपचार पद्धति के रूप में उभरकर सामने आई है। यह न केवल शारीरिक उपचार प्रदान करती है, बल्कि मानसिक और आत्मिक शांति भी प्रदान करती है, जो समग्र स्वास्थ्य की ओर कदम बढ़ाने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है। प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा का इतिहास प्राचीन काल से जुड़ा हुआ है, जब हमारे पूर्वजों ने प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का उपयोग कर शारीरिक और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य बनाए रखा। आयुर्वेद, योग, जल चिकित्सा, सूर्य चिकित्सा, और मिट्टी चिकित्सा जैसे कई ऐसे उपचार पद्धतियाँ हैं जो प्रकृति के साथ सामंजस्य स्थापित करते हुए व्यक्ति के स्वास्थ्य को बेहतर बनाती हैं। महात्मा गांधी ने भी प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा को अपनाया था और इसे अपने जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा माना था। उनका मानना था कि शरीर की स्व-चिकित्सा शक्तियों को प्रोत्साहित करने से स्वस्थ जीवनशैली को बढ़ावा मिलता है। इस पुस्तक का उद्देश्य प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा की विविध पद्धतियों को सरल और विस्तृत रूप में प्रस्तुत करना है। इसमें हम यह जानेंगे कि प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा के कौन-कौन से प्रकार हैं, कैसे ये पद्धतियाँ शारीरिक, मानसिक और आत्मिक स्वास्थ्य को प्रभावित करती हैं, और इनका उपयोग किस प्रकार किया जा सकता है। साथ ही, हम यह भी चर्चा करेंगे कि कैसे भारत में और अन्य देशों में प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा का महत्व बढ़ा है और इसके भविष्य में क्या संभावनाएँ हैं। हमारी कोशिश है कि इस पुस्तक के माध्यम से पाठकों को प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा के प्रति जागरूक किया जाए और उन्हें यह समझने में मदद मिले कि कैसे वे प्राकृतिक उपचार पद्धतियों का उपयोग करके अपनी जीवनशैली में सुधार कर सकते हैं। प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा न केवल शरीर को रोग मुक्त करने के लिए है, बल्कि यह जीवन के समग्र पहलुओं को बेहतर बनाने के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण साधन है। इसे अपनाने से हम न केवल शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य में सुधार कर सकते हैं, बल्कि मानसिक शांति और आत्मिक संतुलन भी प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

भारत की सांस्कृतिक धरोहर: परंपराएं, मूल्य और परिवर्तन
भारत वह भूमि है जहाँ संस्कृति केवल जीवन का हिस्सा नहीं, बल्कि जीवन का सार है। यहाँ की मिट्टी, भाषा, परंपराएँ, कला, और विचार – सबमें मानवता की वह गंध समाई है जिसने इस देश को “विश्वगुरु” का स्थान प्रदान किया। भारतीय संस्कृति की जड़ें उतनी ही गहरी हैं जितना इसका इतिहास, और उतनी ही विस्तृत जितनी इसकी भौगोलिक सीमाएँ। समय के प्रवाह में अनेक सभ्यताएँ आईं और विलुप्त हो गईं, किंतु भारत की संस्कृति ने हर परिवर्तन को आत्मसात करते हुए स्वयं को और अधिक समृद्ध किया। यह पुस्तक “भारत की सांस्कृतिक धरोहर: परंपराएं, मूल्य और परिवर्तन” इसी जीवंत संस्कृति की बहुआयामी यात्रा का लेखाजोखा प्रस्तुत करती है। इसमें भारत की पारंपरिक जीवनशैली, दार्शनिक चिंतन, कलात्मक अभिव्यक्तियाँ, धार्मिक विविधता, सामाजिक संरचना, और आधुनिकता के प्रभावों को एक एकीकृत दृष्टिकोण से देखा गया है। यह केवल अतीत की गौरवगाथा नहीं, बल्कि वर्तमान की चुनौतियों और भविष्य की संभावनाओं पर भी गंभीर चिंतन प्रस्तुत करती है। पुस्तक का उद्देश्य पाठकों-विशेष रूप से विद्यार्थियों, शिक्षकों, शोधकर्ताओं, और संस्कृति प्रेमियों-को भारतीय सांस्कृतिक परंपराओं की गहराई को समझने, उन्हें आत्मसात करने, और आधुनिक संदर्भ में पुनर्परिभाषित करने की दिशा में प्रेरित करना है। इसमें यह भी रेखांकित किया गया है कि भारतीय संस्कृति स्थिर नहीं, बल्कि प्रवाहमान है; वह न केवल अपनी जड़ों से जुड़ी रहती है, बल्कि समयानुसार नवीनीकरण भी करती रहती है। आज जब वैश्वीकरण और तकनीकी क्रांति ने मानव जीवन को नई दिशा दी है, तब यह और भी आवश्यक हो गया है कि हम अपने सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों, परंपराओं और जीवन-दर्शन को पुनः समझें। भारतीय संस्कृति हमें सिखाती है कि “परिवर्तन ही स्थायित्व का आधार है”, परंतु परिवर्तन ऐसा होना चाहिए जो हमारी आत्मा को न तोड़े बल्कि उसे सशक्त करे। इस पुस्तक की प्रत्येक अध्याय-योजना को इस तरह तैयार किया गया है कि पाठक को भारतीय संस्कृति के प्रत्येक आयाम का गहन अनुभव हो-चाहे वह वेदांत की आध्यात्मिकता हो, लोकजीवन की जीवंतता, कला की सौंदर्यता, या आधुनिक समाज की जटिलताएँ। पुस्तक में उदाहरणों, केस स्टडीज़, और वर्तमान नीतिगत प्रयासों को भी शामिल किया गया है ताकि संस्कृति के अध्ययन को केवल सैद्धांतिक नहीं बल्कि व्यवहारिक और समसामयिक दृष्टि से भी देखा जा सके। अंततः, यह कृति भारत की उसी अनंत सांस्कृतिक परंपरा को नमन करती है जिसने “वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्” का संदेश दिया-जहाँ पूरी मानवता को एक परिवार माना गया। यह पुस्तक उस विचार की पुनर्स्मृति है कि भारतीय संस्कृति केवल अतीत की विरासत नहीं, बल्कि वर्तमान की पहचान और भविष्य की दिशा है।
