Mapping son preference in India, 2002–2021
Background: Despite widespread interest in son preference in India, the study of its spatial distribution and trends by parity at the district level is limited. Objective: This study investigates spatial patterns and temporal trends in son preference by parity across districts of India from 2002 to 2021. Methods: We applied model-based area-level small area estimation techniques on data from consecutive rounds of the Indian National Family Health…
Sociological perspectives of social media, rumors, and attacks on minorities
Social media platforms serve as essential modes of communication for billions of people around the world. They host a diverse range of content-from the personal and social to the political serving as an important channel for connecting people for spreading ideas. However, given their widespread penetration into everyday social and political life, they have become a tool for spreading rumors and disinformation that may often misrepresent or distor…
Conflict and Religious Minorities
Events in the Kashmir Valley during the late 1980s changed the demographic and sociopolitical outlook of the region.

Other religious minorities, such as Sikhs and Christians, decided to sta…
Spatial heterogeneity in son preference across India's 640 districts
Son preference is culturally rooted across generations in India. While the social and economic implications of son preference are widely acknowledged, there is little evidence on spatial heterogeneity, especially at the district level

Correlation between weather and Covid ‐19 pandemic in India
This study is an attempt to find and analyze the correlation between Covid-19 pandemic and weather conditions in Indian context. Secondary data analysis of surveillance data of COVID-19 is taken from Wikipedia (updating information from World Health Organization) & statista.com and weather data through Power Data Access Viewer (DAV) (power.Iarc.nasa.gov) from NASA after mentioning latitude and longitude of India. The minimum temperature (°C) at 2…
Covid ‐19
COVID-19, which was initiated regionally at Wuhan of China, has become a global pandemic by infecting people of almost all the world. Human civilizations are facing threat for their survival and livelihood. No country are getting any substantial relief and solution from this pandemic rather to convince their citizens to make aware and taking precaution by changing their living style. In view of this, this study attempted to assess the awareness, …

The notion of religious harmony and peace, which emerged mainly due to the strong socioreligious ties among various communities, is often referred to as Kashmiriyat. Although it started off as a sociocultural phenomenon with more emphasis on tolerance among different communities, the idea of Kashmiriyat was exploited by successive political regimes to streng…

A comparative assessment of static muscular strength among female operative’s working in different handicraft occupations in India
An ergonomic assessment of static muscular strength like hand grip-and pinch strength in handicraft occupation was made. In total, 170 female participants were selected for the case-control study, out of which 120 handicraft and 50 office workers were examined as exposed and control groups. Their maximum static handgrip- and pinch strength were measured using hand and pinch dynamometers. We analyze our findings to indicate static muscular strengt…
Bioengineering techniques of slope stabilization and landslide mitigation
Purpose Mass movements, especially landslides, are a recurring natural phenomenon and are an integral part of any geological/geomorphological cycle of landform development through sequential development of slopes in any elevated region and especially in young fold mountain chains. The purpose of this paper is to develop and evolve cheap, affordable, environment friendly and ecologically sustainable techniques of landslide disaster management and …
Landslide management
Purpose This paper aims to promote sustainable development through disaster management. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on extensive field observations and intensive review of literature from secondary sources. Findings In recent times landslides have increased both in frequency and intensity and have assumed catastrophic and disastrous proportions, causing extensive damage to life and property and posing great problems and serious…
Causes of slope instability in the Himalayas
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to attempt to generate a better, systematic and scientific understanding of the basic reasons behind slope instability to help in developing the basic principles of landslide hazard zonation, monitoring and forecasting of landslide hazards for better and more effective landslide hazard mitigation and management. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on extensive field observations and intensive review…
