• Acculturation: An exploration of the novel The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni

YASHODHA D

Abstract: Culture is defined by the set of beliefs, customs, traditions, style of living and behaviour of a group of people living in a particular place. It has a great impact on the thought processes of the people and lays the very foundation of a person’s individuality and identity. When a person moves to a different place, he or she has to get accustomed to the new culture either by choice or necessity or force. This process of adapting to the native culture of a place is acculturation. Acculturation happens due to migration, immigration, relocation or displacement. It can be both one sided and two sided. However, it becomes imperative for the non-native people who form the minority section to get acculturated to the dominant culture of the land for their living and survival.

• CHRONICLING FEMINIST MOVEMENT AND ITS SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS!

Dr.Amarjeet Kaur

Abstract: This paper is a primer for community psychologists on feminist research. Much like the field of community psychology, feminist scholarship is defined by its values and process. Informed by the political ideologies of the 1970s women's movement (liberal, radical, socialist feminism, and womanism), feminist scholars reinterpreted classic concepts in philosophy of science to create feminist epistemologies and methodologies.Feminist epistemologies, such as feminist empiricism, standpoint theory, and postmodernism, recog-nize women's lived experiences as legitimate sources of knowledge. Feminist methodologies attempt to eradicate sexist bias in research and find ways to capture women's voices that are consistent with feminist ideals. Practically, the process of feminist research is characterized by four primary features: (1) expanding methodologies to include both quantitative and qualitative methods, (2) connecting women for group-level data collection, (3) reducing the hierarchical relationship between researchers and their participants to facilitate trust and disclosure, and (4) recognizing and reflecting upon the emotionality of women's lives. Recommendations for how community psychologists can integrate feminist scholarship into their practice are discussed.

• वर्तमान परिप्रेक्ष्य में शिक्षण संस्थाओं में संगीत शिक्षण एवं पं. विष्णु नारायण भातखण्डे जी का योगदान: एक अध्ययन

डाॅ. शिखा ममगाई

Abstract: भारत में प्राचीन काल से ही संगीत शिक्षा का मूल स्वरूप पूर्ण रूप से गुरू-शिष्य परम्परा और गुरूमुखी शिक्षा पर निर्भर रहा है। विद्वानों ने भारतीय संगीत के इतिहास का प्राचीनतम् काल वैदिक काल को माना है। वैदिक कालीन संगीत पूर्णतः नियमबद्ध था जो सामगान के रूप में प्रचलित था। सामगान को संरक्षित करने तथा अग्रिम पीढ़ी तक पहुँचाने के उद्देश्य से सामगान का विशेष प्रशिक्षण मुख्य साम-गायकों द्वारा ऋत्विजों को दिया जाने लगा। संभवतः संगीत शिक्षा का आरम्भ यहीं से हुआ। सामगान का विशिष्ट प्रशिक्षण प्रदान करने वाली तीन शाखायें कौमुथीय शाखा, राणायनीय शाखा तथा जैमिनीय शाखा उल्लेखनीय है। इन शाखाओं के अपने-अपने पृथक गुरूकुल और आश्रम थे जिनमें साम-गायन की शिक्षा मौखिक रूप में प्रदान की जाती थी। इसके पश्चात् रामायण तथा महाभारत काल में भी संगीत शिक्षा का आदान-प्रदान तत्कालीन संगीत-शालाओं में गुरू-शिष्य परम्परा के आधार पर किया जाता था। तत्पश्चात विश्व के प्राचीनतम् विश्वविद्यालयों में शामिल तक्षशिला एवं नालन्दा विश्वविद्यालयों में भी शिक्षा प्राप्त करने का माध्यम गुरू-शिष्य परम्परा ही था।

• ROLE OF BR AMBEDKAR IN PROMOTING BUDDHISM RELIGION

Aarti Rani Dr. Kalpana Chaturvedi

Abstract: \r\nDr. Ambedkar\'s moral order in his ideal society places an emphasis on people taking personal responsibility for their acts and obligations to the community. Because a person\'s activities have consequences for other people as well as for themselves, it\'s impossible to behave just for one\'s own benefit. As a result, it is up to man to ensure his personal happiness and the material and spiritual advancement of society as a whole. Ambedkar has a moral, social, and nonreligious stance on religion. After initially publicly announcing in 1935 at Yeola that he was leaving Hinduism for another faith, Dr. Ambedkar needed over twenty one years to actually undergo the conversion, which took place on 14th October, 1956, in Nagpur. During this time, he studied the world\'s main faiths in depth and compared them to one another. There was no method of religion he hadn\'t tried first. However, he eventually converted to Buddhism. In order to understand Dr. Ambedkar\'s life goal and the circumstances surrounding his conversion to Buddhism, it is necessary to understand the origins of that decision. For the sake of this article, an attempt is made to investigate this background.\r\n

1अरविंद तेवतिया 2डॉ. मुईनुज्जफर खान 3डॉ. प्रवीण मित्तल

Abstract: \r\nआज व्यापार समुदाय में नैतिकता और नैतिक व्यवहार तेजी से प्रमुख चिंता का विषय बन रहे हैं। लोग व्यावसायिक संगठनों के भीतर क्या हो रहा है, इस पर अधिक ध्यान दे रहे हैं, खासकर प्रतिस्पर्धा, विकास और लाभप्रदता के नाम पर। कई संगठन सफलता की तलाश में नैतिक सीमाओं को पार कर रहे हैं। परिणामस्वरूप, वैश्विक स्तर पर व्यावसायिक संचालन में अनैतिक प्रथाओं की निगरानी और समाधान करने के लिए एक बढ़ता हुआ आंदोलन है। इस अध्ययन का उद्देश्य नैतिक प्रथाओं के महत्व का पता लगाना है और यह पता लगाना है कि उन्हें व्यावसायिक संगठनों के भीतर कैसे प्रभावी ढंग से लागू किया जा सकता है। अनुभवजन्य साक्ष्य दर्शाते हैं कि नैतिक प्रथाएँ अन्य संगठनों के साथ अनुकूल संबंधों को बढ़ावा देती हैं और मौजूदा और संभावित ग्राहकों दोनों के साथ दीर्घकालिक, सकारात्मक संबंध स्थापित करने में मदद करती हैं। इस अध्ययन में नियोजित शोध पद्धति वर्णनात्मक और विश्लेषणात्मक दोनों है। निष्कर्ष प्रत्येक व्यावसायिक संगठन के भीतर एक अच्छी तरह से परिभाषित आचार संहिता की महत्वपूर्ण आवश्यकता को रेखांकित करते हैं। इसके अलावा, यह आवश्यक है कि इस संहिता को इसकी सफलता सुनिश्चित करने के लिए एक उद्देश्यपूर्ण और प्रभावी तरीके से लागू किया जाए।\r\n
