Affirmative Action in Education
This study synthesizes scholarship on affirmative action in education from 2015 to 2025, drawing on 49 sources across the social sciences and allied fields. Using a PRISMA-guided systematic review of the literature, the article explores the conceptual framings that distinguish equality from equity; undertakes a comparative analysis of policy instruments across the United States, Brazil, South Africa and India; and surveys methodological trends sp…
Caste-based Violence in Contemporary India
This article examines caste-based violence in contemporary India using data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2023 report. It interprets these patterns through the modern father of India, Dr B. R. Ambedkar’s concept of social justice. The study analyses state-wise distribution and crime rates of offences against Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) to identify regional concentration and structural patterns. The findings s…

Corruption within the administration of funds often results in delays and misallocation, preventing many eligible students from receiving the support they need. Additionally, social sti…
Route Choices to Access Public Open Spaces in Hill Cities
Public open spaces (POSs) play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of urban life, particularly in hill cities where challenging topography influences accessibility and movement patterns. Space syntax can aid in understanding the route choices of users, evaluating certain routes for improved walkability, and understanding pedestrian behaviour in urban environments, among others. Previous space syntax studies primarily focused on a two-dimensio…
Social Injustice Inflicted by Spatial Changes in Vernacular Settings
It is well known that every kind of development has the tendancy to produce spatial disparity or spatial justice. However, usually, it is the demand-driven, rural, non-agricultural transitional area development considered the prime cause of concern for policy planners. Indeed, this is an area where spatial justice needs to be ensured so that development is just for all and not lopsided for any single stakeholder. For example, there is a need to e…
Politics in the Name of Women’s Reservation
The discussion highlights concerns regarding gender-based reservations in India, particularly the potential for these policies to disproportionately benefit wealthier and upper-class women, sidelining women from lower socio-economic strata and disadvantaged castes. It proposes solutions such as ‘reservation within reservation’ for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to ensure equitable distribution of benefits and advocates for a shift towards …

Asia's economic crisis and the IMF
In summer 1997, the high-performing East and South-east Asian economies faced a financial crisis of unprecedented proportions. In a matter of weeks, once-vibrant economies and their strong currencies witnessed a meltdown, forcing them to turn to that lender of last resort, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), for assistance. A careful examination of the long-term as well as the immediate causes of the crisis refutes the widely held view that no…
