Brahminical Patriarchy in Modern Marital Rituals of Bengal
This article attempts to scrutinize the contemporary shift in marital ritual(s) of Bengal, particularly the application of vermilion on the groom’s forehead by the bride. This act is being held as the epitome of gender equality, with women having equal privileges as men. While it appears that the act embodies equality, a deeper engagement reveals that it strengthens the existence of Brahminical patriarchy and its penetration into different layers…
The Onus of Ejaculation During Non-Consensual Unprotected Sex Under the Indian Penal Code
The rape laws of India distinctly mention the clauses of rape. In these clauses, clear reference is present regarding non-consensual penetration by a penis or any object, and manipulation of body parts for insertion (India Code, Section 375). This article intervenes into this existing rape law(s) by the Indian Penal Code to locate the absence of non-consensual penetration. It reflects how the line of consent blurs before the legal structure regar…

The goal of the movement was to remove the …

Locating Women in the Naxalbari Movement
The objective in this paper is to explore the role of women in the Naxalbari movement by studying how a woman resists all the patriarchal authorities and carves her own space in a male-dominated movement through The Naxalites: A Novel (1979), a representative text on the Naxalbari movement in Indian English Literature. The Naxalbari movement (1965-1975) is the first peasant revolution within twenty years of Indian Independence that initiated in a…
Estimation of optimal obesity cut-offs among Tripuri and Halam women of Tripura, Northeast India
Obesity is one of the risk assessments for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs), while anthropometric measurements are one of the measures of obesity, which has been demonstrated as a time-tested important technique for risk assessment of NCDs. Due to variation of anthropometric measurements, it seems difficult to classify obesity using world cut-offs in different population groups. The objective of the present study is to discern the populat…
