 Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technologies has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of regional-language journalism in India. Kannada news media, with its rich journalistic tradition and significant readership, has undergone a major transformation through the adoption of digital platforms, mobile journalism, social media, multimedia storytelling, artificial intelligence (AI), and data-driven editorial practices. While these technological advancements have enhanced the speed, accessibility, and audience engagement of news dissemination, they have also introduced critical challenges, including declining print circulation, misinformation, digital monetization issues, algorithmic dependence, cybersecurity concerns, and ethical dilemmas. This review paper critically examines the digital transformation of Kannada news media by synthesizing recent scholarly literature, industry reports, and contemporary developments in digital journalism. The study explores the technological, organizational, professional, and economic dimensions of this transformation, with particular emphasis on AI-enabled journalism, changing audience news consumption patterns, newsroom convergence, and the sustainability of regional-language media. It further identifies the opportunities created by digital innovation, such as enhanced audience participation, subscription-based business models, multimedia content production, and data-informed editorial decision-making. The review highlights that the long-term sustainability of Kannada digital journalism depends not only on technological adoption but also on maintaining editorial independence, journalistic ethics, public trust, and diversified revenue models. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on regional digital journalism by providing a comprehensive perspective on the challenges, opportunities, and future directions of Kannada news media. The findings offer valuable insights for journalists, media organizations, researchers, policymakers, and journalism educators seeking to strengthen regional-language journalism in the rapidly evolving digital communication environment.

 Abstract

The US-Iran conflict, particularly the 2026 Hormuz War and its aftermath, has presented one of the most significant foreign policy tests for India in the post-Cold War era. This paper critically examines India's diplomatic position toward the US-Iran conflict, analyzing the tension between New Delhi's professed commitment to strategic autonomy and its growing alignment with the United States and Israel. Through a qualitative analysis of official statements, diplomatic actions, scholarly literature, and policy reports, this research argues that India's response to the conflict reveals a fundamental contradiction: while publicly maintaining a discourse of multi-alignment and strategic autonomy, India's actual diplomatic posture has demonstrated a discernible tilt toward the US-Israel axis, with significant costs for its credibility, regional influence, and long-term strategic interests. The paper develops a conceptual framework--the Strategic Autonomy-Actual Alignment Paradox--to explain this disconnect and assesses its implications for India's foreign policy in an increasingly polarized world order.

 Abstract

Abstract Euthanasia -the deliberate ending of a person's life to relieve suffering -remains one of the most doctrinally unsettled areas of Indian constitutional law. In the continued absence of dedicated legislation, the contours of the right to die have been shaped almost entirely through a sequence of Supreme Court decisions stretching from P. Rathinam v. Union of India in 1994 to Harish Rana v. Union of India in 2026. This paper traces that judicial trajectory, examines the constitutional reasoning underlying the recognition of passive euthanasia and the living will, and evaluates the procedural reforms introduced by the 2023 modification of the Common Cause guidelines. It argues that Indian judicial trends reveal a cautious, incremental expansion of the right to die with dignity, marked by a persistent unwillingness to permit active euthanasia and a growing recognition that excessive procedural safeguards can themselves defeat the very dignity interest that Article 21 protects.

 Abstract

Occupational stress has become one of the most significant challenges affecting police personnel due to the demanding nature of their profession. Police officers are routinely exposed to operational hazards, traumatic incidents, long working hours, organizational pressures, public scrutiny, and role- related conflicts, all of which contribute to elevated levels of stress and psychological strain. This paper reviews the existing literature on occupational stress among police personnel with the objective of identifying the major sources of stress, examining its impact on individual well-being and organizational performance, and highlighting effective stress management strategies. The review draws on national and international studies published in peer-reviewed journals and reports, revealing that both operational factors, such as exposure to violence and critical incidents, and organizational factors, including excessive workload, inadequate staffing, lack of supervisory support, shift work, and limited career advancement opportunities, significantly influence stress levels among police personnel. The literature further indicates that prolonged occupational stress is associated with adverse outcomes such as burnout, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular problems, reduced job satisfaction, absenteeism, impaired decision-making, and decreased organizational effectiveness. The review also emphasizes the importance of comprehensive interventions, including organizational reforms, mental health support services, resilience training, stress management programs, and supportive leadership, in mitigating occupational stress. Despite substantial research in this field, gaps remain regarding longitudinal evidence and context-specific studies, particularly in developing countries. The paper concludes that addressing occupational stress requires a multidimensional approach that integrates organizational policy changes with individual coping strategies to enhance the health, well-being, and professional effectiveness of police personnel.

 Abstract

This paper examines reasons behind the failure of justice and police sector reform in Afghanistan in the decade of 2001-2021 which did not manage to set up strong independent judiciary and law enforcement systems. The findings show that from the outset donor countries allocated resources to the military sector to the detriment of the justice and police sectors, resulting in chronic underfunding, weak infrastructure and untrained personnel. With rising insecurity, the police became more and more militarized, pulling them away from their core mandate of policing. Reforms to professionalize the force post-2013 were undercut by declining aid and deteriorating security. Continued corruption, a lack of coordination between donors, the capture of justice institutions by warlords and poor coordination between agencies further undermined public confidence and pushed Afghans into traditional dispute resolution mechanisms and, in contested areas, Taliban shadow courts.

 Abstract

Now a days mental health disorders are a major problem. Anxiety, depression, bipolar illness, long-term stress, and various personality disorders are common conditions. Due to non availability and less access to physicians and other medical specialists, many issues go undetected. This method automatically determines whether a person is suffering from mental health issue is proposed in this research. To examine what people write and attempt to comprehend their behaviour, we employ a technique known as Support Vector Machines. The technique known as Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency to quantify what people write. I also employ a list of words that are related to emotions to obtain a better grasp of what individuals are writing. I used a corpus of texts from people to test our system. 52,680 writings were present. Iam able to identify the type of behaviour they represented because they were all labelled and attempted numerous approaches of training our system to acquire the best results. The suggested approach performed well in classification across all behaviour categories. Compared to the systems used in this purpose, this is superior. Addition to that this tool that can be used to assess individuals mental health issues instantly. Support Vector Machines is one tool for this and the outcome is satisfactory. The persons who are suffering from mental health issues will be benefitted from this system.
