1. Locating the Role of Naga Women in the Naga Political Process since the Nineties

The 1990s were a significant period in Naga politics. The period witnessed the intensification of inter-factional violence between warring Naga insurgent groups. The signing of the ceasefire agreement between the Indian government and the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) in 1997, and the subsequent peace talks that followed decades of violence, opened democratic space for Naga civil society to actively engage in the political process. Within this new dispensation, Naga women’s entry into the public sphere as ‘mothers’, rooted in private values and attributes such as nurturing, caring, and pacificatio, assumes significance. Naga women, traditionally confined to the private sphere, carved out a space for themselves in the public sphere by mobilizing for peace through a motherhood strategy. Based on primary and secondary sources, the paper examines the unique role that Naga women play in the public sphere, within the constraints of a traditional patriarchal ethos and Naga tribal customary practices that define gendered roles and perceptions for women. The paper concludes that the peace activism of Naga women in the public sphere has, in a way, empowered their political agency to assert for gender justice and greater participation and representation in formal politics.

2. Performance Appraisal- A source of employee motivation in a Small Organisation

In today’s competitive and dynamic business environment, small organisations play a crucial role in economic development and job creation. However, their success largely depends on the motivation and commitment of their employees. Performance appraisal, when implemented effectively, serves as a key human resource tool to recognise employee contributions, provide constructive feedback, and foster motivation. This paper explores how performance appraisal systems influence employee motivation in small organisations. It analyses the relationship between fair evaluation, feedback mechanisms, goal alignment, and intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation. The study is based on a mixed-method approach involving surveys and interviews conducted among employees of small enterprises. Findings reveal that transparent and participatory appraisal systems enhance motivation and job satisfaction, while a lack of clarity and bias in evaluation tend to demotivate employees. The paper concludes with recommendations for designing simple yet effective performance appraisal systems tailored to the needs of small organisations.

4. The Biochemical Basis of Schizophrenia: The Dopamine Hypothesis and Beyond

Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder marked by a wide spectrum of symptoms, yet its biochemical basis remains unclear. While the classical dopamine hypothesis links excess dopaminergic activity to hallucinations and delusions, recent research implicates glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic systems, along with inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. This paper argues that schizophrenia results from interactions among multiple neurotransmitter and receptor systems. By reviewing neuroimaging, pharmacological, and clinical trial evidence, it demonstrates that understanding receptor-specific contributions is crucial for developing targeted therapies addressing both cognitive deficits and affective symptoms.

11. Interpreting Opaque Scheduling Heuristics in Timetabling via Surrogate GNN

Opaque timetabling heuristics often deliver strong schedules yet remain difficult to interpret, limiting trust, diagnosis, and controlled adaptation in educational scenarios. This work presents a practical pipeline that learns a constraint-aware graph neural network (GNN) surrogate from input-output pairs of a black-box timetabling solver and then applies global explainability to characterize the surrogate’s decision-making logic across entities and relations in the context of timetabling. Using a synthetic dataset with hard constraints, the study evaluates both the assignment fidelity to the solver outputs and the feasibility under hard constraints, complementing these with global explanations and counterfactual sensitivity analysis. The results highlight which entities and relations most influence the predicted assignments. The pipeline is intended as a methods-oriented contribution that standardizes data generation, surrogate training, and explanation estimators for timetabling, enabling reproducible assessment of interpretability alongside fidelity and feasibility without claiming domain deployment readiness.

12. Visual Storytelling on Instagram: Redefining Digital Narratives in Indian Contexts

In contemporary India, Instagram has evolved into a powerful site of visual storytelling where images, reels, and aesthetic choices continually reshape how narratives are created, shared, and consumed. This paper explores how Indian creators—from rural artisans and independent journalists to lifestyle influencers and grassroots activists—use Instagram to express identity, culture, and socio-political consciousness. Moving beyond the platform’s commercialised image culture, the study highlights how Indian users adapt Instagram’s global features into localised storytelling traditions such as “darshana,” “kahani,” “dastangoi,” and “lok-drishti.” Through qualitative digital ethnography, content analysis of 200 Instagram accounts, and semi-structured interviews with 25 creators, this paper argues that Instagram in India is not merely a social media platform but a transformative narrative ecosystem. It enables micro-communities, democratizes content creation, and crafts new hybrid forms of cultural expression that blend imagery, captions, hashtags, and audio-visual cues. Findings reveal that Indian Instagram storytelling is shaped by regional languages, socio-economic aspirations, caste-class markers, digital literacy gaps, and platform algorithms that reward emotion-driven, relatable, and visually immersive content. The paper concludes with implications for digital culture, media literacy, and storytelling futures in India.

14. Real-Time Detection of Obfuscated Abusive Multilingual Comments using Prompt-Tuned and LoRA Fine-Tuned LLMs

The rapid expansion of multilingual communication on social media has led to a surge in abusive, toxic, and offensive user-generated content. Traditional rule-based filters and monolingual detection systems fail to address modern linguistic challenges such as code-mixing (English–Hindi– Hinglish), transliteration variance, and obfuscation (e.g., “id!ot”, “b!tch”). To address these limitations, this work proposes a real-time multilingual abusive comment detection framework built using a LoRA-based parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach on Multi-lingual BERT (mBERT), augmented with a custom preprocessing pipeline and prompt-based linguistic normalization. The proposed system integrates leetspeak decoding, repeated-character normalization, slang expansion, context-driven abusive-pattern recognition, and Hindi transliteration handling, significantly improving classification robustness. The fine-tuning utilizes Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to enable efficient domain adaptation without full-model training costs. A Flask-based REST API and Web Interface provide real-time detection capabilities with confidence scoring and content-restriction logic. Experiments show improved F1 scores on code-mixed and obfuscated datasets, demonstrating substantial gains over baseline mBERT and rule-based systems. Future work aims to extend the system to multimodal toxicity detection, emoji-semantic embeddings, and adversarial robustness.

17. India’s Evolving Foreign Policy: Leadership and Diplomacy in the Global South (2000–2025)

This paper examines how India’s foreign policy has evolved since 2000 to position the country as a leading voice of the Global South. As global power shifts create space for emerging economies, India has expanded its diplomatic engagement, development partnerships, and soft-power initiatives to advocate for equitable global governance. Through platforms such as the G20, BRICS, and the United Nations — alongside initiatives like Vaccine Maitri, South–South development financing, and digital public infrastructure cooperation — India has moved from being a participant to an agenda-setter in international affairs. The study evaluates the strategic, humanitarian, and multilateral dimensions of this transformation, while also acknowledging limitations including resource constraints, regional competition, and institutional barriers. It argues that India’s leadership is rooted in coalition-building and moral legitimacy rather than material dominance, presenting a pragmatic and inclusive model of Global South diplomacy focused on solidarity, sustainability, and shared progress.
