Stigma-Driven Trauma and Coping Strategies of Women Experiencing Infertility in Bangladesh
Xenophobia, necrospace and genocide in Bangladesh
The partition of undivided India through the two-nation theory created India and Pakistan, but it also laid the groundwork for deepening xenophobia within Pakistan's political structure, sharpening divisions between West and East Pakistan. In East Pakistan, Creole nationalism rooted in Bangla language, culture, and identity – combined with economic disparities and political marginalisation – intensified these fractures. The region gradually trans…
Life Against Deathworlds
The July–August 2024 mass uprising in Bangladesh marked a definitive rupture in the nation’s political trajectory, culminating in the collapse of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s fifteen-year tenure. In the aftermath, the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus initiated a profound restructuring of the state. Throughout 2025, this transition materialised through three interconnected processes: the dismantling of the previous regime'…
Borderland as a necrospace
The origin of militancy in Manipur can be traced back to the secessionist movement in 1964 due to the nation-state’s failure to address the people’s grievances. This study investigates how the construction and reconstruction of ethnic identities, coupled with economic and geopolitical factors, sustain Militancy in a contested borderland like Manipur. By foregrounding the research questions: how have ethnonational movements, state policies, and il…
Resisting colonial and feudal oppression
This research paper examines the significant yet often overlooked revolts of the Bhil tribe in Rajasthan during the British Raj, focusing on their resistance against colonial and feudal oppression from the early 19th to the early twentieth century. The Bhils, an indigenous tribal community, faced severe encroachments on their traditional rights, autonomy, and livelihoods due to British colonial policies and exploitative practices by Rajput feudal…
Metoo Movement
Any form of sexual assault stems from the intersection of power, patriarchal structure and gender. While different countries take different measures to tackle cases of sexual assault, cases continue to rise like a pandemic. This study is a revisit to the # Metoo Movement that took the catbird seat in 2017 after Tarana Burke founded it in 2006. Although the #Metoo movement started with women calling out names of abusers, the movement was not confi…

Human Trafficking
Since the year 2000, 25 November has been observed as International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women to make the public aware of violence against women and girls (VAWG). Human Trafficking is one of the most brutal forms of VAWG. This brief communication in the form of an editorial discusses the despicable issues linked to human trafficking, calling for action research
Race and Ethnicity in the Pandemic
This study begins with the historical understanding of race and its modern perspectives as a social construct amid social identity and critical race theories. Next, race and ethnicity are explored within the context of COVID-19, whereby those of non-white backgrounds are seeing different disastrous health outcomes and experiencing heightened levels of racism in the pandemic. Examples and analyses from around the world are then provided, which hav…
Dress Code’ Controversy
In the middle of September 2021, a female candidate wearing ‘shorts’ (the so-called ‘half pant’), hailing from Biswanath Chariali, went to Tezpur to appear at an entrance test of Assam Agricultural University (AAU) at Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (GIPS), one of the agencies of AAU. While the gatekeeper of GIPS gave her access, the invigilator on duty at the examination hall raised eyebrows on her ‘dress code’ but all…
Sarah Everard & Nirbhaya
This brief communication in the form of the editorial attempts to draw out the parallels between two grisly incidents in two parts of the world. However, the vertiginous ferocity of the incidents jostled outrage across the nations— Sarah Everard’s kidnap and murder on 03 March 2021 and barbarity on Nirbhaya through gang-rape and subsequent murder in December 2012. Both the cases unveil an underlying culture of misogyny. The question remains how d…

Sociologies of India's missing children

The analyses suggest that a number of interconnected sociologies co…

Both domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault against women (SAAW) in public spaces continue to be significant problems facing Indian society. Moreover, the link between DV and SAAW is also commonly misconstrued. Adding to this confusion is the way in which forms of violence against women (VAW) - battering, rape, molestation and sexual abuse - lacks spatial and contextual analysis. There was nationwide outrage over the Nirbhaya incident of 16 De…
