An Investigation into the Practice of Human Naming

Suresh Kumar P. M. — 2023-09-14

Every human being on earth is designated with a name. This eventually means that the crores of people comprising both men and women have their own names, and put together it is an endless number. With such a multitude of names, compiling a vast repository is rather impossible to conceive. Among the enormous variations, there are resemblances although very few are exactly the same in all respects. Although used as a practice to establish identity since time immemorial, one could see some emerging patterns that distinguish traditional names from modern names. What is most astonishing is that names have meanings. These meanings signify certain objects, characters, features, or symbolic representations of notions. This points to the need for an effort to bring out the basis of such vast nomenclature. Naming looks simple but it evolves out of a careful choice and complex process involving search, screening, selection and rejection, acceptance and approval, and finally decision on suitability. This happens slowly and silently. Name is assigned at the babyhood or early childhood. It becomes a person's lasting identity never to be erased by time. The thesaurus of nomenclature opens up a voracious glossary of names. It may be country-specific or region-specific, religion-specific or culture-specific. It has linkages with the educational and occupational class, ancestry and lineage, culture of the group, kinship, fashion, auspicious, or fantasy. Names that are universal transcend the boundaries of region and religion. This study is an attempt to examine the process of nomenclature as a universally accepted practice based on an extensive sample of over two thousand names spread over three generations from among the Hindu population of Kerala. The paper also aims to delineate various typologies by attempting a classification. Although the study was conducted among the Hindus in Kerala, the findings largely apply to the whole of the country.

The historical exclusion and assimilation of Kurd ethnic identity by dominant ethnic identity and challenges faced by the Kurds, such as statelessness, marginalisation, and conflict, always look like the Ethnic matter of the Kurdish question in the Middle East. This research paper delves into the complex interplay between ethnicity and the Kurdish question in the Middle East. The paper begins by tracing the historical origins of the Kurdish people. It examines the evolution of the Kurdish question, analysing the socio-political and cultural factors that have shaped their struggle for self-determination.

Abstract in Hindi Language:

प्राचीन काल से ही कृषि भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था की आधारषिला रही है। कृषि भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का बुनिवादी ढांचा है। क्योंकि भारत के लगभग आधी जनसंख्या के आय का मुख्य स्रोत कृषि है। यही कारण है कि कृषि को भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का रीढ़ भी कहाँ जाता है। भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था में कृषि का महत्वपूर्ण योगदान है, जिसका मूलभूत कारण यह है की भारत लगभग 60 प्रतिषत जनसंख्या कृषि क्षेत्र से जुड़ी हुई है। जो कि भारत की जीडीपी में लगभग 20 प्रतिषत का योगदान करती है। वर्तमान समय में भारत सरकार कृषि उत्पादन में वृद्धि के लिए अनेको कार्यक्रम चला रही हैं। जिसका मुख्य उद्देष्य कृषि क्षेत्र में सुधार जैसे - कृषि उत्पादन में वृद्धि, किसानों को आर्थिक मदद, कृषि में टेक्नोलोजी का प्रयोग, कृषि में वैज्ञानिक अनुप्रयोग, आदि शामिल है।

Professional Misconduct & Feeble Underpinning of Government Departments in India

Hiranmaya Nanda — 2023-09-14

This work tries to explore how government agencies' shoddy foundations contribute to professional misconduct. Because it is the only profession in which the general public either benefits from or suffers because of an employee's actions, working for the government is regarded as one of the most prestigious jobs in any nation. The government department is seen as a crucial component of the nation's administrative structure since the entire department is tasked with carrying out the policies and programs designed to serve the needs of the general populace. Therefore, it is only normal to have expectations that these agencies would function properly and that public officials won't misuse the authority granted to them by behaving in an ethical, sensible, and appropriate manner. Having a government department that runs smoothly is a fantasy, though, since every department has a weak base that encourages employee malfeasance that in turn leads to harassment of the general public. The word "professional misconduct" in connection to a government agency has a broad definition and refers to a variety of behaviors, including inappropriate conduct, unethical behavior, public harassment caused by excessive delays, the use of illegal tactics, etc.

Comparative analysis of Ram-Rajya and Gandhiji's concept of Ram-Rajya as a concept of ideal state in Indian thought

Shyam Mohan Mishra — 2023-09-14

The concept of Ram Rajya has always been presented as an ideal state in Indian political thinking. Ram Rajya is such a system in which not only individuals but all living beings, whether movable or immovable or the entire creation, get a life of happiness and peace. Ramrajya as an ideal state has been accepted in the Indian tradition as a better ideal than Plato's ideal political system. It is not without reason that Mahatma Gandhi also calls his Swaraj as Ram Rajya and explains the nature of Ram Rajya. Regarding the nature of Ram Rajya, it is believed in the Indian public mind, especially in the Hindu public mind and to some extent even in the Muslim public mind, that Ram Rajya is a state of justice. Ram Rajya is not related to the theocratic state as is the form of theocratic state in Islamic and Christian traditions. The meaning of religion in the Indian tradition is fundamentally different from the meaning of religion in the Abrahamic tradition. This is the reason that when Gandhiji talks about Ram-Rajya during the freedom movement, the leadership of Muslim League associates it with Hindu theocratic state. Gandhiji clarifies many times that Ram Rajya does not mean Hindu state but Ram Rajya is a state of justice, love and welfare. An attempt has been made to analyze in this research paper what are the similarities and differences between the traditional Indian political thinking about Ramrajya, such as Tulsidas ji's thinking, Valmiki's thinking and Gandhi ji's thinking.

Abstract in Hindi Language:

भारतीय राजनीतिक चिंतन में आदर्श राज्य के रूप में राम राज्य की संकल्पना हमेशा से प्रस्तुत की जाती रही है । राम राज्य एक ऐसी व्यवस्था है जिसमें व्यक्तियों को ही नहीं वरन् समस्त प्राणियों को चाहे भी चर हो या अचर हो या फिर समस्त सृष्टि को ही सुख और शांति का जीवन प्राप्त होता है । आदर्श राज्य के रूप में रामराज्य प्लेटो की आदर्श राजनीतिक व्यवस्था से भी बेहतर आदर्श के रूप में भारतीय परंपरा में स्वीकार किया गया है । अकारण नहीं है महात्मा गांधी भी अपने स्वराज को राम राज्य की संज्ञा देते हैं और राम राज्य के स्वरूप को स्पष्ट करते हैं । राम राज्य के स्वरूप को लेकर भारतीय जन मानस में विशेष रूप से हिंदू जनमानस में एवं कहीं तक मुस्लिम जन मानस में भी यह माना गया है की राम राज्य न्याय का राज्य है। राम राज्य का संबंध धर्मतांत्रिक राज्य से नहीं है जैसा की इस्लामिक एवं इसाई परंपरा में धर्मतांत्रिक राज्य का स्वरूप है । भारतीय परंपरा में धर्म का अर्थ अब्राहमिक परंपरा में धर्म के अर्थ से मौलिक रूप से भिन्न है । यही कारण है कि जब स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन के दौरान गांधी जी राम-राज्य की बात करते हैं तो मुस्लिम लीग का नेतृत्व उसे हिंदू धर्मतांत्रिक राज्य के साथ जोड़ देता है । गांधी जी कई बार स्पष्ट करते हैं कि राम राज्य का अर्थ हिंदू राज्य नहीं है वरन राम-राज्य न्याय का , प्रेम का और कल्याण का राज्य है । रामराज्य के बारे में परंपरागत भारतीय राजनीतिक चिंतन में जैसे तुलसीदास जी के चिंतन में वाल्मीकि की चिंतन में और गांधी जी के चिंतन में क्या समानता एवं भेद है इसे इस शोध पत्र में विश्लेषित करने का प्रयास किया गया है।

Anita Desai’s In Custody: A Thematic Study

Kavan R. Patel — 2023-09-14

In Custody, a novel penned in 1984 by the renowned Indian-American author Anita Desai, serves as a significant literary exploration of the quest for identity and existential purpose. Positioned within the contemporary Indian milieu, this work delves profoundly into the intricate themes of identity and linguistic expression, employing the lyrical medium of Urdu poetry as its narrative backdrop. At the narrative's center lies Deven Sharma, the principal protagonist, a reticent Hindi instructor who is presented with a life-altering opportunity when his audacious childhood friend, Murad, extends an offer to interview his revered idol, the venerable and reclusive Urdu poet, Nur Shahjahanabadi. In choosing to accept this proposition, Deven consciously sets aside his own aspirations of emerging as an Urdu poet of note, thus embarking on a journey that brings into focus the deeply entwined themes of identity, linguistic expression, and the intricacies of human relationships. His own life, marked by a loveless marriage and a sense of unspoken discontent that he shares with his wife, is emblematic of the pervasive dissatisfaction that often characterizes human existence.
