https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4209
<p>In the beginning of the 16th century, when Guru Nanak lived and preached his message of love and equality, Punjab was part and parcel of the Delhi sultanate which was ruled by Sultan SikandarLodhi. Politically, it was an oppressive and unjust regime, marked by exploitation and injustice. Socially, it was a divided house wherein a large part of humanity was denied even the fundamental rights. Non-Muslims were made to live like second class citizens. The ruling class had lost all sense of justice and the order of the day. The moral and spiritual degeneration was also keeping pace only too well with the political disruption from which the country had been suffering.</p>Narinderkaur

https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4205
<p>Youth activism has become an increasingly influential force in driving social change across the globe, with young people actively challenging social, political, and environmental injustices. This movement is fueled by the passion, energy, and idealism of young individuals who seek to address issues such as climate change, racial and gender inequality, economic disparity, and political corruption. In the digital age, youth activism has expanded beyond traditional forms of protest, leveraging social media and digital platforms to amplify voices, mobilize communities, and hold governments and corporations accountable.<br>This paper examines the significant role that young people play in social change movements, focusing on how they use collective action, advocacy, and innovative strategies to confront societal challenges. By exploring various examples of youth-led movements, such as global climate strikes, racial justice campaigns, and feminist movements, the paper highlights the diverse ways in which youth are shaping public discourse and influencing policy decisions. Young activists often challenge entrenched power structures, push for progressive reforms, and demand action on pressing global issues. The paper also discusses the empowerment of youth through education, leadership development, and grassroots organizing, which equip them to lead movements that generate lasting social and political impact. It underscores how youth activism serves not only as a tool for addressing contemporary issues but also as a catalyst for fostering solidarity across generations and borders. By examining the intersection of youth engagement, activism, and social change, the paper demonstrates the essential role of young people in creating a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world. Ultimately, youth activism is not only about advocating for present-day issues but ensuring a better future for all.</p>Santoshkumar

https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4204
<p>The abolition of slavery didn’t put an end to the problems of African Americans. They were reduced to people with no means of living. They couldn’t find a sure footing in such a vast country. They were dragged in to debt labour through various laws. Jim Crow being the popular that Nazis modeled their Anti Jew laws based on this. The Nickel Boys is a coming-of-age tale set in the Jim Crow era Florida that tells the story of Elwood who was caught in the web of the oppressive law and suffered infinitely. A tale with pain, torture, agony and hope through justice in the end.</p>P. MaruthupandianR. Ajith

https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4201
<p>Spiritual intelligence (SI) has gained increasing attention in psychology and education as a vital factor influencing personal and profession success. Self-efficacy, a key component of social cognitive theory, determines individuals' confidence in their ability to accomplish tasks and achieve goals. This paper explores the conceptual framework that links spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy. It examines the theoretical underpinnings of both constructs, their interrelation, and how spiritual intelligence can serve as a predictor of self-efficacy. The paper also discusses potential mechanisms through which spiritual intelligence enhances self-efficacy, including resilience, intrinsic motivation, and self-awareness. Implications for education, workplace performance, and mental well-being are also explored.</p>Pallavi RastogiRitu Chandra

https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4200
<p>The Affective Filter Hypothesis (Krashen, 1980) insists that negative emotions such as anxiety, stress, boredom, or lack of motivation can create a psychological barrier that impedes a learner's ability to speak a new language. In the context of second language acquisition, anxiety is a significant emotional filter that obstructs the learner's ability to grasp the contextual and situational elements of the language. This research aims to investigate whether flow theory, a positive psychology theory on optimal experience (Csikszentmihalyi, 1970), can assist learners in overcoming the anxiety barrier when learning to speak English. An innovative learning approach, the Immersive Flow State Approach, was framed. A brief study was conducted with fifty-eight students over four weeks to explore this. The students' experiences were collected using the Experimental Sampling Method. Qualitative and Quantitative analyses were done. The results were analyzed. As the approach is effective, it is suggested that elaborative studies be conducted on the proposed research topic.</p> <p> </p>J. Rajkamal PetroHemalatha M. Beulah

https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4199
<p>Enacted in 1996, the Provision of the Panchayat (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, more commonly known as PESA, brought the Scheduled Areas in ten states of the nation into the national framework of Panchayat. Gramme Sabha is granted exceptional authority under this Act, which is in line with traditional tribal self-rule, even though this power is not established in the national structure of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). Many things have come out of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR), including studies that have been commissioned, proposals for changes to subject laws that are at odds with the Act, circulars and guidelines for the creation of model rules, and so on. The most significant Act of our century has been in effect for over twenty-eight years. Efforts by the relevant state governments to fully execute this landmark statute have been glacial. Inadequate awareness, bureaucratic opposition, and conflicts with current forest and revenue rules are some of the significant challenges identified via fieldwork consisting of interviews with local stakeholders, tribal leaders, and government officials, in addition to secondary data analysis. At the same time, it praises achievements like more robust tribal identification, better management of resources, and more participation in gram sabhas. In order to fully use the Act, the results highlight the need to implement capacity-building programs, reform policies, and foster practical cooperation between tribes and government entities. Insights for a more inclusive and successful implementation of PESA in Rajasthan and other states with substantial tribal populations are offered in this study, which adds to the conversation on tribal governance.</p>Amrita Sharma
