Foucault’s Panopticon: Navigating Surveillance Culture in the Modern World

By
 In our contemporary reality, the elusive concept of peace often feels like a distant utopia, tantalisingly within reach yet frustratingly difficult to grasp. This sentiment echoes the philosophical musings of Michel Foucault and his seminal concept of the Panopticon, where citizens exist under constant surveillance, blurring the lines between security and oppression. Ironically, this surveillance has become so ingrained in our daily lives that it has normalized the very notion of being watched. Like the gentle lapping of waves against the shore, the subtle tyranny of surveillance pervades every aspect of our existence, shaping our behaviors and perceptions in ways both seen and unseen. In this modern age, the quest for freedom takes on new dimensions as individuals seek avenues of escape from the watchful gaze of authority. Whether through digital anonymity or acts of rebellion, the yearning for autonomy persists amidst the pervasive presence of surveillance. Explore the complexities

DEATH OF MANUAL SCAVENGERS: CASTE STIGMA & POLITICS OF SANITATION. By Ruma Bhardwaj

 DEATH OF MANUAL SCAVENGERS: CASTE STIGMA & POLITICS OF SANITATION. By Ruma Bhardwaj Abstract  ‘kesa ye swaraj hai, sewer main marta samaaj hai’ Swaraj is just become a theoretic idea nowadays because a part of society excluded from this idea. The exclusion from the prevailing social system and its rights and privileges called social exclusion. Lower caste minority groups have become victims of this pain. India suppose to become a superpower in upcoming days but technically we have a profession of ‘collecting human excreta’ and we give this privilege duty to a certain caste and group of people. Despite stringent provisions in the law, manual scavenging continues unabated in India. Hindu notion of purity and pollution linked with the practice of untouchability, underlie the unsanitary practices in Indian society where ‘polluted castes’ are forced to undertake manholes and clean other people’s filth. This cheap Dalit labor to do dehumanizing jobs these jobs are an exception to a mode

Beyond Intellect: Rediscovering the Heartbeat of Humanity

By
 In the vibrant tapestry of our modern, educated society, a subtle yet crucial element often gets lost amidst the academic fervour. Amidst the pursuit of knowledge and the race to achieve intellectual heights, we find ourselves detached from the essence of humanity. Empathy, sympathy, and genuine feelings for others become casualties in the relentless pursuit of theoretical excellence. While our minds soar to grasp the vast reservoirs of knowledge, the thread of humanity often unravels. We’ve become proficient in the realms of science, medicine, engineering, law, and education, but somewhere along the way, we neglected the path of humanity itself. We’ve become intellects, but the practice of humane virtues seems to be dwindling. In the cacophony of strategies like “साम-दाम-दंड-भेद,” the resonance of humanity, known as “दया” एवं “सहयोग” often fades into the background. This reflection isn’t born out of mere philosophy; it’s a perspective drawn from the canvas of my daily experiences. At
