• A study on the Rise and fall of the Mongol Empire

Dr Hemlata Meena,

Abstract: Historians sometimes employ a 'decline and fall' model to elucidate the demise of empires, a concept popularized by Edward Gibbon's seminal work on the Roman Empire. Contemporary historians of Late Antiquity, however, have generally questioned its veracity. This article examines the factors contributing to the dissolution of the Mongol Empire during the thirteenth and 14 centuries. It analyzes the partition of the empire into four khanates, followed by an examination of the subsequent disintegration of each. It posits that the khanates which preserved a greater degree of its original nomadic ethos—the Golden Horde in the Pontic steppes and the Chaghatai Khanate in Central Asia—were able to endure for a more extended period than others. under the Ilkhanate in Persia and the Great Khanate in China and Mongolia, which were centered in sedentary regions.

• Teaching Literature : The Multidisciplinary Approach

Dr Meenakshi Dalal

Abstract: Teaching literature has been something that has always brought immense pleasure and intellectual satisfaction. The reason for this is not just the creative content but also the plethora of knowledge that literary works embody. A well researched work rooted in multiple disciplines has fascinated me beyond everything else. This is what has prevented from making my job mundane or monotonous. This paper is a journey of my evolution as a teacher. Initial disappointment with the low interest of students with my subject prompted me to find ways of dealing with their natural hostility to literature in a language that is still foreign to them. The students from the rural belt of Haryana, though no where lacking in intellect still find themselves in jitters when it comes to English. But the subject has to be studied as a compulsory part of the curriculum so there is no escape. The job of a teacher under these circumstances becomes all the more crucial. The first task that needs to be accomplished is removing the apprehensions of the students. The students need to realise that reading literature is a pleasurable task and just as interesting as creative work in their own mother tongue.

Abstract: औद्योगीकरण से तात्पर्य बड़े-बड़े उद्योगों के विकास तथा छोटे और कुटीर उद्योग धन्धों के स्थान पर बड़े पैमाने की मशीनों की व्यवस्था से हैं। औद्योगीकरण आर्थिक विकास की व्यापक प्रक्रिया का केवल अंग मात्र है जिनका उद्देश्य उत्पादन के साधनों की क्षमता में वृध्दि करके जनजीवन के स्तर को ऊंचा उठाना हैं। भारत में औद्योगीकरण का प्रारंभ सन् 1850 से माना जाता हैं। औद्योगिक समाजशास्त्र का उदय प्रथम विश्वयुध्द के उपरान्त बीसवीं सदी में तृतीय दशक के लगभग हुआ परन्तु उद्योग एवं समाजशास्त्र क्रमशः प्राचीन काल से ही संबंधित हैं। औद्योगिक समाजशास्त्र को सन् 1930 में मान्यता प्राप्त हुई। औद्योगिक समाजशास्त्र का सीधा संबंध प्रमुख रूप से उद्योग एवं औद्योगीकरण से हैं। औद्योगीकरण शब्द ‘समाजशास्त्रीय सिध्दांत को जब वस्तुओं के वितरण एवं उत्पादन के साथ ही साथ उद्योग के विकास के आधार पर प्रभावित करता हैं तो वह औद्योगिक समाजशास्त्र के अध्ययन का आकर्षक बिन्दु हो जाता हैं।’
