EVOLVING CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGES IN INDIA DEMAND CONSTANT INNOVATION AND AGILITY: A SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON SAFEGUARDING CYBERSPACE
India’s swift march towards digitalisation has profoundly altered the way, the society functions; shaping how people interact with each other, manage finances, access healthcare, and communicate with one another. Digital governance platforms, online banking systems, telemedicine services, and social media networks have become integral to everyday life, blurring the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces. Yet this rapid digital expansion has also brought with it a growing exposure to cybersecurity risks, that cannot be understood or accepted as merely technical failures. Rising incidents of cybercrime, data leaks, misinformation, digital surveillance, and online abuse reveal underlying social faulty lines, including unequal access to digital resources, patterns of risky online behaviour, and institutional gaps in preparedness and accountability. This article contends that responding effectively to cybersecurity challenges in India demands more than technological upgrades or flexible regulatory frameworks. It requires a deeper sociological engagement with awareness to the masses, how people perceive risk, place trust in digital systems, negotiate power within online spaces, and experience vulnerability in unequal social contexts. Through a sociological lens, the paper explores the role of digital divides, trust erosion, gendered exposure to cyber harms, organisational cultures, and governance mechanisms in shaping India’s cybersecurity environment. It ultimately argues for a holistic socio-technical approach—one that integrates cybersecurity with social awareness, ethical institutions, and participatory governance, to strengthen India’s ability to protect its cyberspace amid an ever-evolving digital landscape.

The Implications of Postmodernism to Seminary Formation
Introduction This study aims to draw the implications of postmodern moments to the seminary formation. It is confronted with the difficult question of harmonizing the very idea of postmodernism with seminary formation. What troubles this research is the fact that postmodernism is understood as the period characterized by openness to meanings and understanding, an openness that extends to aspects of life such as culture and authority. It is characterized by subjectivism, individual legitimation, self-regulation, freedom and absence of authority, and one particular system. The principle of postmodernism is that it is not governed by pre-established rules, and cannot be judged according to a determining judgment, by applying familiar categories. [1] On the other hand, seminary formation is a systematic program, characterized by strict observance, authority, and discipline and geared towards training the candidates for priesthood and religious life. It is result-oriented. This research which has some elements of theology considers the very situation and finds the rigidity of the authority of seminary formation at stake with postmodernism. How can the notion of postmodernism and seminary formation which is unconventional be reconciled? Can the formation program succeed without the cooperation of the candidates? Can someone’s will and character be mastered or dominated by another person?

CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF DIRECTION AND UNDERLYINGCOMPETITION IN GLOBAL PEPPER TRADE
This paper aims to trace the direction, suppliers and markets in the pepper trade. Moreover, it analyses intense competition amongst several suppliers exporting to major importers. Specifically, India’s advantages and biggest markets for Indian pepper products in the HSN code 0904 have been assessed in order to identify India’s current position in the pepper trade. A true indicator of a country’s exporting ability and advantage as an exporter for a particular HSN code is Revealed Comparative Advantage, this has been calculated for the top 5 exporters of HSN 0904. Products within the HSN code 0904 including red chilli and black pepper are amongst India’s most exported spices. Thus, it becomes important for us to analyse what India’s current position in this trade is and what lies ahead for the country in the same. This leads to questions on market diversity and the stability of Indian pepper trade, which is precisely what this paper attempts to answer. The spice trade is historically and presently imperative for several stakeholders globally; this includes the supplying economies; the importing markets and farmers whose livelihoods depend on the spice trade. In both the Indian and the global context, the impact that pepper trade has on these stakeholders is immense, considering pepper and chilli are amongst the most imported and exported spices in the world. By identifying the economies that have a stake in the pepper trade, including major markets like the United States of America and identifying who its suppliers are, the paper also explains in detail the interplay between demand and supply along with which suppliers are competing for a share in these markets. Currently, as trade wars erupt and regional tensions rise, it is imperative to analyze the existing dynamics of pepper tradein order to safeguard the stakeholders involved in it, while protecting a huge asset of the overall Indian trade.

The study concludes that improved early-warning systems, enhanced infrastructure, and community-based risk reduction strategies are essential for strengthening long-term resilience in Ethiopia’s volcanic regions.
The Psychology of Stress, Resilience, and Emotional Well-Being in Today’s World
Stress has quietly become one of the most common experiences in modern life. People of all ages—children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly—face constant pressures that affect their mental and emotional health. At the same time, psychologists have been trying to understand why some people cope better than others and bounce back faster from difficulties. This ability is known as resilience. Emotional well-being, which involves feeling balanced, stable, and able to manage life's ups and downs, is directly linked to both stress and resilience. This research article examines how stress works, why it affects people differently, and how resilience plays a protective role. It also looks at the psychological processes that help individuals maintain emotional well-being despite challenges. The aim is to present a clear, human-centered understanding of these ideas that can guide mental health professionals, educators, and anyone interested in improving everyday life.

Mental health of adolescents and youth in India: A critical analysis in the era of AI
Mental health challenges among adolescents and youth in India are a growing concern, compounded by the pervasive influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their daily lives. In a nation with over 600 million individuals under 25, the intersection of mental health and AI demands urgent attention. This paper critically examines the key mental health issues faced by Indian youth in the digital era, including anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, social isolation, and unhealthy comparisons fostered by AI-driven social media algorithms. AI-driven platforms amplify engagement by exploiting users’ psychological vulnerabilities, often at the expense of mental health. ( Matthew Hindman 2018). It evaluates the accessibility, effectiveness, and ethical considerations of AI-based mental health interventions such as virtual therapists and emotion recognition systems. Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being, yet it remains an underexplored, overlooked and often stigmatized subject in India, particularly among adolescents and youth. This paper delves into the prevalence, causes, and implications of mental health issues among Indian youth, supported by recent data and evidence. It examines societal, cultural, and economic factors contributing to these challenges, evaluates existing mental health policies, and offers innovative solutions for improved mental health outcomes. With over 253 million adolescents and 600 million individuals under the age of 25, the mental health of this demographic is crucial for the nation’s socio-economic progress. This paper critically examines the prevalence, causes, and implications of mental health challenges among Indian adolescents and youth, supported by recent data and evidence. It also explores the intersection of mental health and criminal activities, providing insights into the underlying factors and potential interventions. While AI has the potential to improve mental health care by offering scalable and accessible solutions, significant barriers remain. Social stigma, lack of awareness, and digital illiteracy limit the potential of AI-driven mental health interventions in India. (Kumar, M., et al. 2021).These include digital inequality1 , privacy concerns, cultural insensitivity in AI models, and societal stigma. The paper highlights the pressing need for holistic approaches that integrate AI-driven tools with traditional mental health practices, policy reforms to bridge infrastructure gaps, and awareness campaigns to reduce stigma. By addressing these challenges, India can create a robust ecosystem that promotes resilience and emotional well-being among its youth, empowering them to navigate the complexities of a rapidly digitizing world. The prevalence of mental health disorders among Indian adolescents is alarming, with 7.3% of individuals aged 13-17 years suffering from conditions like depression and anxiety, as reported by the National Mental Health Survey. Suicide has become the leading cause of death among individuals aged 15-29, accounting for 35.5% of global suicide deaths in this demographic. Factors such as academic pressure, societal expectations, family dynamics, and the pervasive influence of digital and social media contribute significantly to the mental health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges, with a 31% increase in anxiety and depression symptoms reported among Indian youth in 2021. 1 The disparity in access to and use of digital technologies, such as the internet, smartphones, computers, and digital skills. This paper also highlights the growing connection between mental health issues and criminal behavior among youth. National Crime Records Bureau data reveals a significant number of crimes committed by juveniles are linked to untreated mental health issues, emotional instability, and substance abuse. Cybercrimes, crimes of passion, and offenses related to suicidal behaviors are notable trends requiring urgent attention. India’s mental health infrastructure remains inadequate, with a severe shortage of mental health professionals and insufficient funding. Programs like the National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) and initiatives such as Tele-MANAS and Mano Darpan mark progress but fall short of addressing the vast and complex needs of Indian youth. Social stigma surrounding mental health continues to deter individuals from seeking help, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. To address these challenges, this paper advocates for a comprehensive approach that includes integrating mental health education into school curricula, leveraging technology for telemedicine and digital mental health solutions, and implementing community-based interventions. Policy reforms should focus on increasing funding for mental health, incentivizing professionals to work in underserved areas, and enhancing juvenile justice systems to include mandatory mental health screenings andtherapy sessions. Nationwide awareness campaigns targeting parents, educators, and community leaders are essential to destigmatize mental health issues and promote early intervention. Improved data collection systems are also critical for understanding region-specific challenges and designing targeted interventions. By addressing the root causes of mental health challenges and investing in robust infrastructure and support systems, India can empower its youth to achieve their full potential and mitigate the socio-economic impact of untreated mental health issues. This holistic approach can transform mental health outcomes, reduce the prevalence of youth-related crimes, and contribute to a healthier, more productive society

Marathi Saint Literature ; Prominent Psychologist : A Modern Treatment For Well - being of New Generation
Marathi saint literature is very rich in all aspects. When it comes to maintaining mental health, the poems, ovis and abhangas of saints act as medicine. Just reciting the poems or abhangas uplifts the mind. During the time of Saint Dnyaneshwar and Saint Namdev, there was a Manu kingdom of hardworking Brahmins. They were scholars who interpreted the scriptures according to their convenience. State administration, religious administration and justice were concentrated in one place, so living in that time was unbearable. Dnyaneshwari was created under immense mental stress. Saint Muktabai's Tati Abhangs testify to this. The time of Saint Tukaram was a time of fierce attacks by the sword. The Muslim rule was controlling everything with the edge of the sword. At such a time, the gift of Shri Sant Tukaram Gatha was received. Today's time is of the Indian Constitution. The scourge of materialism is hitting the youth. Huge mental stress is arising from this. For today's youth, the literature of saints provides relief from terrible mental stress, invisible fear, the constant feeling that something bad will happen, something bad will always happen to me, feelings of inferiority, shocking events from the past, etc. If recited, it uplifts the mind. In this research, the intensity of sound is measured using a stopwatch method. Its unit is dB. Generally, the intensity of the sound produced is converted into Hz and recorded in a table. There is no direct relationship between sound and the human brain. Brain waves are a different matter. The method of measuring that frequency is different. Anxiety and mood swings are prevalent in the new generation. The intensity of sound in the sacred literature becomes a medicine for such mental illnesses because the frequency responses of the brain such as delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma rhythm responses which match the sacred, Marathi Saint literature.

GUARDIANS OF HERITAGE: THE ROLE OF WOMEN INPRESERVATION OF CULTURE AND IT’S TRANSMISSION
This paper explores the vital role of women in the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage across diverse societies. Women have historically been the custodians of tradition, often serving as the primary transmitters of cultural knowledge, practices, and values within families and communities. Their contributions, while frequently overlooked in mainstream narratives, are essential for sustaining cultural identities and fostering intergenerational continuity. The research examines various dimensions of women’s involvement in cultural preservation, focusing on their roles in oral traditions, artisanal crafts, rituals, and community storytelling. Women are often the bearers of folklore, music, and dance, embodying the narratives that shape cultural identity. In many societies, they engage in the practice of storytelling, passing down historical accounts and moral lessons that reinforce community values and collective memory. Artisanal crafts, such as weaving, pottery and textile production, showcase women’s creativity and skill while serving as tangible expressions of cultural heritage. These crafts not only provide economic opportunities but also facilitate the transmission of techniques and aesthetic values to the younger generations. The paper highlights case studies from various regions, illustrating how women preserve cultural identities and promotes community cohesion. Moreover, women’s participation in rituals and festivals underscores their central role in cultural expression. As organizers and participants, women influence the portrayal of cultural narratives, ensuring that traditions evolve while maintaining their core significance. The study also addresses the challenges women face in playing these roles, including gender biases, socio-economic barriers, and the impact of globalization as well. In contemporary contexts, women’s activism plays a crucial role in safeguarding cultural heritage against threats such as modernization and cultural homogenization. The paper explores how women leverage their positions to advocate for cultural rights and recognition, participating in movements that highlight the importance of cultural diversity. Their efforts often lead to initiatives aimed at preserving intangible cultural heritage, such as language revitalization programs and community heritage projects. Through qualitative interviews and ethnographic studies, the research underscores the importance of recognizing and valuing women’s contributions to cultural preservation. It calls for a re-evaluation of heritage narratives that historically marginalize women, advocating for inclusive frameworks that highlight their roles as cultural guardians. By amplifying women’s voices in cultural discourse, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of heritage transmission and challenges existing power dynamics. Women are indispensable to the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage. Their roles as storytellers, artisans, and community leaders not only enrich cultural landscapes but also foster resilience in the face of change. Recognizing and supporting women’s contributions is essential for sustainable cultural preservation, ensuring that future generations inherit a rich and diverse tapestry of cultural identities. This research ultimately advocates for policies and practices that empower women as active participants in cultural heritage, positioning them as key stakeholders in the ongoing dialogue about cultural preservation and transmission.

EVOLUTION OF LAND TENURE SYSTEM IN INDIA:HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES AND POST-INDEPENDENCEREFORMS
Land tenure in India has historically been far more than a system of ownership; it has served as amarker of social status, economic power, and political authority. From the Later Vedic period to the present day, systems of land ownership, control, and distribution have been influenced by religion, feudal practices,and colonial policies. In the early Vedic and medieval periods, land grants to Brahmins, temples, and warriors reinforced social hierarchies and structured agrarian life. During the Sultanate and Mughal eras, innovations such as centralized taxation, the Patwari system, Waqf grants, and the Mansabdari system improved administrative control but also strengthened absentee landlordism, increased taxes, and limited incentives for innovation in agriculture. The British colonial administration transformed land into a commoditized asset through the Ryotwari, Zamindari, and Mahalwari systems, often intensifying rural inequalities, promoting absentee landlordism, and increasing peasant indebtedness. Following independence, the Indian government implemented land reforms including Zamindari abolition, tenancy regulation, and land ceiling acts, aiming to redistribute land, secure tenant rights, and improve productivity. These reforms met with varied success across regions, achieving significant improvements in states like Kerala and West Bengal, partial success in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, and limited results in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. This study highlights how historical land policies have shaped patterns of rural inequality, caste and class relations, and agricultural productivity. It emphasizes the enduring consequences of historical land tenure structures and the challenges of reform implementation. By understanding this trajectory, policymakers and scholars can better appreciate the link between land, social justice, and economic opportunity. The paper underscores the importance of continued policy innovation, digitization, and equitable enforcement to ensure inclusive rural development and sustainable livelihoods in India.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSIGHTS INTOANCIENT INDIAN CIVILIZATIONS BEFORE ARYANS
India’s pre-Aryan past represents one of the most fascinating yet underexplored chapters in human history. Long before the advent of the Indo-Aryans and the Vedic age, the Indian subcontinent was home to a diverse range of cultures, communities, and technologies that evolved independently over thousands of years. Through archaeology, we now have a clearer picture of these early civilizations, whose contributions have often been overlooked in conventional historical narratives. This paper investigates a series of key archaeological sites—such as Bhimbetka, Mehrgarh, Bhirrana, Keeladi, and Dihar—to understand the depth and diversity of pre-Aryan India. The evidence from these sites reveals significant advancements in agriculture, urban planning, pottery, metallurgy, trade, and spiritual life, indicating the existence of well-organized societies with their own cultural identities and developmental trajectories. Findings such as the Neolithic tools of Dihar, the sophisticated city layouts of Keeladi, and the ritual practices suggested by Junapani’s megalithic burials collectively highlight a highly complex and multi-layered pre-Aryan past. These discoveries not only push back the timeline of Indian civilization but also challenge the long-standing assumption that the development of Indian culture began with the Aryans. By grounding our understanding in material evidence rather than textual tradition alone, this study advocates for a revised and inclusive view of early Indian history—one that acknowledges the contributions of these early, indigenous cultures in shaping the subcontinent’s rich and diverse heritage. The paper underscores the urgent need for continued archaeological research to further unravel the origins of Indian civilization. This paper explores key Archaeological sites and findings that shed light on India’s ancient history, challenging traditional narratives and highlighting the complexity of its early civilizations
The development of law of seas culminates out of usages in customary law. These usages until half of the 20th century laid a regime of lassies faire and non-regulation, where the concept of open seas was accepted globally, with only one exception to the territorial waters of the nations. However, as economy boomed in the light of industrial revolutions of the 20th century nations wanted to protect their interests in geopolitics, as well as, economics point of view. Hence, cropped in various objects and contradictions. There was a call to raise these matters in a forum common to all, to resolve the maritime conflicts. Accordingly, the International Law Commission was approached in the year 1949 to settle the same. The International Law Commission made various drafts on the issue and to discuss the same, the first Conference on Law of Seas took place at the United Nations in the year 1958. The Law of the Seas aims to provide a set of governing rules to regulate the usage of waters of seas, its resources and incidentals. The aim was to establish a set of norms that is agreed universally by all nations, without raising any future objections, and to prevent any disputes that may arise from ordinary usages. The law of seas provides for the rights and obligations in fishing rights, wreckage in seas, protection of heritage and culture, protection of marine environment and settle any disputes that arise.

LEGAL RIGHTS OF ADOLESCENTS UNDER THE MENTAL HEALTHCARE ACT, 2017
The intricate and often challenging nexus of mental health and the law, particularly as it relates to our most vulnerable citizens, our children. As legal practitioners, our role is not merely to interpret statutes but to act as sentinels for justice, ensuring that the law serves its highest purpose—to protect and uplift. The law's engagement with mental health, especially for juveniles, is a litmus test of our society's compassion and commitment to a rights-based framework.

THE ROLE OF RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY AND CULTURAL BELIEF SYSTEMS IN MENTAL HEALTH
The timely intervention on the issue of mental health of especially of the young people in our country is laudable because it has become a pressing issue in India where young men and women are taking their own life without batting an eye lid for trivial matters. This is worrisome for the society and nation. This paper is focussed on the possible nexus and influence of religious beliefs, spiritual experiences and cultural practices on one’s mental health. It is an undeniable fact that most people in the world subscribe to one religious system or the other; a small section of the population, of course, may not affiliate themselves to any established religious system. And religious beliefs can have both positive and negative influence in maintaining one’s mental health.

From Stigma to Strength: A Soldier's Perspective on Mental Health Challenges of Adolescents and Youth
This research paper explores adolescent and youth mental health challenges through the lens of a soldier’s perspective, emphasizing the values of resilience, camaraderie, and collective action derived from military service. The paper argues for a paradigm shift from stigma to strength, drawing parallels between the silent battles fought by soldiers on the frontlines and the internal struggles faced by young people in contemporary society. Reviewing global and Indian literature on adolescent mental health, the study highlights stigma, family disintegration, academic pressures, and digital stress as key challenges. It also draws from military psychology to suggest resilience-building, purpose-driven engagement, and community support as protective factors. Recommendations include institutional reforms, integration of mental health literacy in curricula, leveraging technology positively, and strengthening community support systems. The paper concludes that true strength lies not in suppressing vulnerability but in confronting it with courage, empathy, and collective responsibility. The analysis spans multiple levels - individual, family, institutional, and societal—providing a comprehensive roadmap for addressing one of the defining challenges of our time.

To impose the national emergency, the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minster have to recommend in writing, to the President of India to do the same. And to uphold the prevailing spirit of democracy in the Houses of Parliament, the provision has been made that the said proclamation has to be approved by both the Houses of Parliament within 30 days. But in case, the Lok Sabha stands dissolved during that period, then it has to approve the proclamation within 30 days in its first sitting provided that the upper house has approved the same in the meantime. Now, since the very nature of imposition of emergency will cause disruptions in administration, as well as, in common man’s life, the duration of the emergency has been fixed to six months with a provision for extension of it by every 6 months. Further, the houses of law making at both levels, that is centre and state shall be extended for one year at a time, provided that they shall cease to exist after six months of cessation of emergency and fresh elections shall have to be held.
