All ages from neonates to elderly persons suffer from skin disorders. The pathophysiology and management of skin disorders are explained in Ayurveda under Raktavahasrotodushtijanya Vikara. Prurigo Nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin condition characterized by intensely itchy, firm, raised nodules, often on the arms, legs, and trunk.These nodules are typically a result of persistent scratching and rubbing, leading to thickening and hardening of the skin. While the exact cause is unknown, Prurigo Nodularis is believed to involve both immune system and nerve dysfunction.In Ayurveda this manifestation has close resemblance with Visphota.A case of 54-year-old female who came with the complaints of multiple nodules over both upper and lower extremities associated with itching and burning. The patient was treated according to the Ayurvedic regimen of Shodhana and Shamana therapy followed by Pathya-Apathya . The involved Dosha were and Pitta (metabolic factor) and Kapha (binding factor) dosha. Pitta - Kapha Doshahara line of treatment was adopted in terms of mitigating and purificatory therapy.Patient got relief with appreciable changes in symptoms.

Abstract: This paper explores the novel Anne's House of Dreams (1917) by L. M. Montgomery, with specific focus on the character, Leslie Moore, who is a devoted wife to her debilitated husband, Dick Moore. Leslie's story challenges the traditional notion of women's independence and self-fulfilment. Her story redefines feminism as a celebration of a woman's choice to submit and be a dutiful wife to her ailing husband. Rather than portraying her as an insignificant submissive women, she is depicted as a woman honouring her feminity within which she wilfully embraces loyalty, devotion and duty. The paper further examines how Leslie Moore's story serves as an honorarium to the traditional feminine virtues where strength, loyalty, compassion and nurturing are essential aspects that are forgotten in today's depiction of feminism. This paper demonstrates feminism as an individual female's personal choice, where the choice can also encompass surrender, fidelity, selflessness and marital duty.

Abstract: Psychoanalytic theory helps the readers to understand the author's perspective better and the psyche of the characters according to the construction of the plot. One of the best examples is from D. H. Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers (1913), in which according to Freud's psycho-sexuality, the character of Paul Morel is proven as Oedipus Complex. Many literary critics have implied psychoanalysis in the field of literature to gain significant psychological insight in literary works. This helps in reading the text and examining the psychological reality behind the conception of literary works as well as the relationship between the social reality and the author and its impact on the works of the author. This paper concludes that Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel Of Love and Other Demons can be perfectly viewed through a psychoanalytic lens and it aligns to a certain degree in the field of psychoanalysis.

 Abstract

Many illnesses and problems have been prevented, mitigated, and treated with medicinal herbs. Known by many as Mahua, Madhuca indica is a plant that grows all throughout India. In addition to being a very nourishing tree, the tree is used as a herbal remedy to cure a number of illnesses. Tribal people cure a variety of diseases with different plant parts and as a kind of traditional medicine. The pharmacological and neutraceutical benefits of plants are many. When preparing ayurvedic formulations like asavas and arishtas, the tree's flowers are utilized to induce the production of alcohol. Many pharmacological properties, including antidiabetic, antiulcer, hepatoprotective, and antipyretic properties, are displayed by plants. It is not visible to researchers or other botanists. It is not visible to researchers or other botanists. Mahua's value-added usefulness and traditional usage will be confirmed thanks to this, which will ultimately increase plant profits.

 Abstract

In an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), questions of originality, authorship, and creativity have become central to literary discourse. This paper explores the tension between AI-generated content and traditional notions of literary originality. It investigates how machine-generated texts challenge the humanistic ideals of authorship, creativity, and the unique voice, and whether this shift signals the "death" of originality or a transformation of its meaning. Drawing on literary theory, contemporary examples, and philosophical debates, this paper critically assesses AI's role in reshaping literary production and reception. By the mixing of poststructuralist idea with the concept of contemporary digital practice, this study provides insights on the decline of the meaning of authorship and the cultural value of art in an age where anyone can create anything under their fingertips. The study concentrates on how AI distracts the traditional ideas of creativity, ownership and the originality using the poststructuralist theory proposed by Roland Barthes particularly the concept of "death of the author."

 Abstract

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder marked by reduced production of thyroid hormones, leading to various metabolic imbalances. Propylthiouracil (PTU) is frequently employed to experimentally induce hypothyroidism in animal models for the assessment of potential treatments. The present study aimed to comparatively investigate the therapeutic effects of two traditional Ayurvedic herbs, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root extract and Guggul (Commiphora mukul) gum resin, in PTU-induced hypothyroidism in female Wistar rats. The animals were divided into five groups: a normal control group, a hypothyroid control group (PTU-treated), and three treatment groups that received PTU along with either Ashwagandha or Guggul & Standard. Various parameters including lipid profile, serum levels of T3, T4, and TSH, as well as body weight, daily food intake, and blood glucose levels were monitored. The findings revealed that both Ashwagandha and Guggul effectively counteracted PTU-induced disruptions in thyroid hormone levels. However, Ashwagandha-treated rats exhibited more pronounced improvements in thyroid function compared to those treated with Guggul. These results suggest that both herbs possess significant thyroid-supportive properties, and their combined use could be explored as a complementary, natural strategy for managing hypothyroidism.

 Abstract

The usefulness of water resources can be divided into two categories, viz consumptive and non-consumptive. Water is mostly used in consumptive purposes. It is more or less unaffected through its non-consumptive usage, e.g., generation of hydropower, navigation, fisheries, recreation etc. The consumptive uses of water in an economy can be grouped chiefly under the sectors of agriculture, industry and household. Within the agricultural sector, it is used mainly for the crop production activity. Water must be available in appropriate quantities and at the right time for the growth of plants, depending on the species of plant and climatic conditions. It is well known that agriculture is a gamble in most part of India due to the uncertainty of rains, which even in normal times are inadequate. Hence, irrigation is the most useful input to stabilize and augment and supply of agricultural production and increase the rural employment and supply of agricultural raw materials to the industries.

 Abstract

In the current scenario, after the Supreme Court's historical judgement, a new kind of literature i.e., hijra literature is emerging in Indian literary academia. Many hijras are participating in writing and exploring the crucial phases through which they are moving after the declination of the Mughal period. They are actively and skilfully using this platform to revise their lost social recognition. They justify their existence through revising history and myths. Although there is no much description of hijras in history. It is generally seen that history always represents powerful and main stream society. It fails in representation of marginalised section as women and third genders. The problem of gender and gender identity is perhaps the most discussed issues in the present literary academia. Judith Butler through her oft quoted book Gender Trouble: Feminism and Subversion of Identity, made perhaps the largest contribution in gender discourse and explored the idea that gender is a social construct and enforced through social practices. To understand gender, its etymology, its nature, its function its characteristics and the causes of its popularity in the present society many seminars, workshops and symposia on national and international circuits are being organized by various scholars, academicians, and professors from time to time. But these seminars and discussions somehow move around either in male culture identity or female culture identity and thus leave no room for thirdgenders and become bias. In this paper I shall use textual analysis method and queer theory to explore my ideas.

 Abstract

India has witnessed a major transformation in labour relations since the advent of the platform economy, the most prominent aspect of which is the misclassification of gig workers as independent contractors. Through this classification, digital platforms are legally exempted from their employer obligations such as minimum wages, social security, and the right to unionization, while they maintain substantial control over the work of workers through algorithmic control and performance metrics. While much of the literature views this issue through a policy or regulatory lens, this paper takes a constitutional and doctrinal legal approach. Through doctrinal methodology, this study critically analyses Articles 14, 19(1)(c), and 21 of the Indian Constitution and argues that gig worker misclassification is a systemic fundamental rights denial. The paper identifies a doctrinal gap: there is still no clear framework in India's legal jurisprudence that brings private platforms under constitutional accountability when they perform state-like functions. To bridge this gap, the paper proposes an original legal doctrine called constitutional piercing. In this framework, platforms are considered quasi-state actors, especially when they apply coercive algorithmic control and mediate people's livelihoods. Drawing on the public function theory and horizontal rights application of Indian jurisprudence, this framework reframes the legal understanding of employment and rights in the digital labour market. The conclusion is that gig worker misclassification is not just a policy loophole but a constitutional failure that must be addressed through a rights-based reform.

 Abstract

The wide application of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) has led to their significant environmental release, posing substantial ecotoxicological concerns for aquatic ecosystems. While the toxicity of chemically synthesized Ag-NPs (C-Ag-NPs) to freshwater fish, is well-established, the comparative toxicological implications of biogenic (green) synthesized Ag-NPs (G-Ag NPs) remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to assess and compare the dose- and time-dependent toxicity of C-Ag-NPs and G-Ag-NPs on the early life stages (spawn and fry) of the Indian major carp, rohu, Labeo rohita. Ag-NPs were synthesized by both chemical and green route method by using the leaf extract of Clitoria ternatea and characterised by UV-Vis spectroscopy (peak at 425 nm for both Ag-NPs), SEM (nanostructured, irregular shape), XRD (face-centred cubic crystalline structure), and FTIR (organic capping agents). The C-Ag-NPs and G-Ag-NPs when treated at varied concentrations of both Ag-NPs ranging from 0.01 mg/L to 1000 mg/L through water treatment with rohu spawn (24 hrs) and fry (7 days), demonstrated dose- and time-dependent mortality. 100% mortality of rohu spawn and fry was observed at higher concentrations (500-1000 mg/L) in both the Ag-NPs treatment groups. The C-Ag-NPs exhibited higher toxicity to rohu spawn at concentrations of 10 mg/L to 100 mg/L. Similarly, both types of Ag-NPs induced dose and time dependent oxidative stress with reduced liver GSH and increased lipid peroxidase activity in rohu fry. However, among the two types of AG-NPs, G-Ag-NPs resulted less lipid peroxidase activity and GSH depletion compared to C-Ag-NPs, suggesting a possible mitigated oxidative burden in fish. These findings underscore the significant ecotoxicological threat posed by Ag-NPs to aquatic life, particularly at early developmental stages.
