Dr. Sangita De I Dr. Priyam Basu Thakur
Democracy is one of the best produces of human civilization and the space of democracy has been shrinking all over the world including India. As per the observation of various independent national and international bodies curtailing press freedom is one of the prominent outcomes in this milieu. The Press have been universally recognised as an embodiment of truth for the high ethical standards of objectivity. It is a pivotal actor in the process of promoting pluralism in a country.
India as a democracy has been going through relentless transformation since it adopted political emancipation in 1947. Paradoxically two strong notions came into the contemporary surface where freedom of press is being muzzled by agencies of establishment and on the other hand, press is also losing its integrity in a fiercely competitive open market system. In this context, the article will probe into the vulnerability and virtuous role of the press in contemporary India within the aspects of its social accountability, transparency, and intervention on its freedom on the part of the state and non-state actors.
Woman Suppression effects of Religion but not true Religion
Partha Sarkar
This paper is expected to start with an analysis of the school-religions like Christianity, Hinduism and Islam etc. Scriptures of these historical religions often show male dominance over the female. There are several scriptures of historical religions which are supported such male dominance over the female. The allegation is not baseless as there are ample evidences of male preponderance over the female in various religious scriptures. But here I will confine myself what is stated in some Hindu religious scriptures. This paper it has been also analysed that the charge of woman suppression against religion is quite correct for historical religions only not for true or actual religion as true religion can’t permit such discriminations or malpractice.

For this lock down every sector including education of the country is greatly affected for most of the schools and colleges remain closed for a long time.

The present study aims to focus on the comparison between the new online teaching and the traditional offline teaching and the research is based on the survey on teacher and students.
কপালকুণ্ডলা উপন্যাসে কাপালিকের তান্ত্রিকতা এবং কৌলিন্য প্রথাকে উৎরে আধুনিক দাম্পত্যের সুর ভেসে যায়
আবু হেনা মারুফ ইমরান
উনিশ শতকের সমাজব্যবস্থাকে ঘিরে যে সমস্যাগুলো ব্যাপক বিস্তার লাভ করেছিল এবং সমাজকাঠমোকে অনেকাংশে দুর্বল করে মানুষকে মানবিক পর্যায় থেকে রীতিমতো দূরে সরিয়ে নিয়ে গিয়েছিল সেই সমস্যাগুলোর মধ্যে কৌলিণ্য প্রথা ও বহুবিবাহ ছিলো শীর্ষে; আর কাপালিকের তান্ত্রিকতা অনেকাংশে অনুষঙ্গ হিসেবে পাওয়া গেলেও বেশ জোর দিয়ে বলা চলে না। তবে আমার এই নিবন্ধের কিছু অংশে তা বেশ জোরালোভাবে আসবে আলোচনার স্বার্থে। ইউরোপীয় সমাজের প্রভাবে আমরা বহুকাল থেকে রীতিমতো প্রভাবিত হতে হতে এখন বেশ অভ্যস্ত হয়ে গেছি; তাই খুব সহজে বিচার করতে পারি না যে, যা এখন অনায়াসসাধ্য তা ঠিক কতটা সহজসাধ্য ছিল দুই শতাব্দি আগে। এই নিবন্ধে আমরা সেই সাধ্য আর অসাধ্যের যোগসূত্র স্থাপন করবো।
