Abstract The PRO coindexation of converbs and participles in South Asian Languages along with Subject Identity Constraint (Subject Control) violation has been studied by Subbarao (2012) and Murthy (1994). I present the analysis of Medieval Rajasthani data focusing on two construction types - constructions consisting of converbs and participles. I compare my findings on Rajasthani with previous analyses of the Hindi language. I demonstrate that PRO coindexation in Medieval Rajasthani is more strict than in Hindi. Participles are coindexed with a subject or a direct object of the main clause while converbs are most often subject-oriented. Subject Identity Constraint (Subject Control) violation in Medieval Rajasthani (MR) occurs in constructions consisting of participles and converbs. Subject Identity Constraint may be violated in MR in sentences denoting cause and effect and time relation.

Abstract Even though all state documents in Marwar in the second half of the eighteenth century were issued in Rajasthani, Persian-language documents continued to have an active legal life and were debated, discussed and judged through Rajasthani-language petitions and orders. A close reading of one such dispute highlights tensions over the authority of community versus documents, how new forms of state record-keeping affected the legal use of documents, and how the Rajput king’s practice of customary law led both to the interpolation of shariʿa principles into that law when applied to Muslims and to the restriction of the qazi’s jurisdiction.

Abstract The collection of essays in this volume examines forms of business documentation in the late Persianate world and the Indian Ocean, between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Looking upon business in its broadest sense, the themes range from property disputes within families to inter-polity and inter-imperial deals, all of which is captured within the notion of the bazaar. Presenting documents and documentary forms written in Persian, but also the associated languages of Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi and Rajasthani, the articles collectively enrich the idea of the Persianate, delineating its specific dispensations within regional contexts, and also its boundaries and limitations. This is also a contribution to the study of Persographia, in this case Persianate rather than just Persian writing. The articles study specific language combinations, lexical elements and usages that came to be deployed in different areas and the legal cultures they provide evidence for.

When it comes to language and literature, the richness of a culture can only be comprehended via reading and listening. Brahmi is believed to have been responsible for the script of all northern Indian languages except for Urdu. The result of a lengthy and tedious process. There are currently over 200 different languages and dialects spoken throughout India. Some are extensively employed, while others are only found in a single location of the country or planet. Only twenty-two of these amendments has made it into the text of our country's founding constitution. In addition to Braj Bhasha, Avadhi who is spoken in the Oudh region, Bhojpuri, Magadhi, and Maithili which is spoken in Mithila, Rajasthani who is spoken in Rajasthan, and Khadi Boli which is spoken around Delhi. A substantial number of people speak Hindi in its various forms. Another script, known as Brahmi, was also established in the region during this period and was used throughout India and the rest of South Asia at the same time.
Even though historians, archaeologists, and epigraphists have been interested in Brahmi Script for centuries, the script's varied forms, structures, and typographical peculiarities as an alphabet have been mostly overlooked and never examined. Within the scope of this paper, we shall look at the origins of the Brahmi script as a type of logography. Historical appreciation for the distinct anatomical symmetry and phonetic logic of the Brahmi script exists. This has led some outsiders to think that it is an import, yet a consensus has developed over time. "Brahmi" is no longer thought to be a stolen script, but rather an Indigenous one that developed over time. Brahmi is a typographic entity that is basic yet graceful, bold yet lyric, distinct yet easy to recall, symmetrical with decent legibility even when scaled-down, and generally easy to recognise when touched on with closed eyes as a typographic entity. Brahmi is a typeface with a wide range of distinct features. This study investigates the history of the Brahmi script as a logographic element.

Indian films cannot be imagined without music. The hallmark of Indian cinema is its vibrant music. Indian films, whether they are in any language (ie Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam), music predominates. Music is their basic element in films made in regional dialects like Bhojpuri, Rajasthani, Bandeli, Chhattisgarhi etc. Most of the films in India are made in Hindi language which are popular all over the world. Hence, we will discuss about Indian films by keeping Hindi films at the center.
संगीत के बिना भारतीय फिल्मों की कल्पना भी नहीं की जा सकती। भारतीय सिनेमा की पहचान उसका सषक्त संगीत ही है। भारतीय फिल्में चाहे वे किसी भी भाषा (अर्थात् हिन्दी, तमिल, बंगाली, मराठी, तेलुगु, कन्नड़ या मलयालम) की हों, संगीत उनमें प्रमुख होता है। क्षेत्रीय बोलियों जैसे भोजपुरी, राजस्थानी, बंुदेली, छत्तीसगढ़ी आदि में बनने वाली फिल्मों में तो संगीत ही उनका मूल तत्व होता है। भारत में सर्वाधिक फिल्में हिन्दी भाषा में बनती हैं जो विश्व भर में लोकप्रिय होती हैं। अतः आगे हम भारतीय फिल्मों की चर्चा हिन्दी फिल्मों को केन्द्र में रखकर ही करेंगे।

Full textAbstract:
"Sonal Bai" is a popular folktale about a girl told by women in Rajasthani-speaking areas of north India to initiate young girls into adulthood. This paper investigates the metaphorical representation of a girl’s coming of age through her relationship with a Sandalwood tree analysing, "Sonal Bai" as an ecofeminist text. The story renders voice to socially prohibited themes of menstruation and women’s sensual desire as embodied in silent friendship between a sandalwood tree and Sonal (girl with golden hair). The paper highlights how the outwardly simple tale of “Sonal Bai” is in fact an encoded lesson for teenage girls, inverted as a relationship between two highly treasured “belongings”/ “commodities”—sandalwood and a unmarried girl—in a patriarchal society economically dependent on agriculture. The sandalwood tree is highly valuable for farmers; different parts of the tree are used to produce furniture, oil, fragrance and food items. It is also a part of religious rituals where its essence is used as tilak on idols in Hindu traditions. Rajasthani Language is spoken prominently in the desert regions of India (Thar Desert) and the existence of such a tree in a desert is as precious and rare as a girl with golden hair. The paper draws reference from recurrent invocation of olfactory senses of the listeners captured by the images of the sandalwood tree in the story. It also explores use of growth metaphors using ‘rhizome’ like imagery of sandalwood branches reaching the sky which become an escape route for a teenage girl hiding from her family. The temporal and spatial indicators are infused together in the story of Sonal Bai leading to an unlikely friendship between two prized possessions that eventually breaks with the arrival of a patriarchal archetype: a handsome young prince. This study discusses the prevalent katha culture in India where women exercise freedom of voice through singing and narrating tales within all-female groups. This site of independent feminine interaction in a highly patriarchal society is investigated using Bakhtin’s “Chronotope” to highlight culturally encoded lessons in folktales meant for young girls in Indian society as a means of informal education.

Full textAbstract:
The most convenient speech processing tool is Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The effectiveness has been tested with various real-time applications. The classifier using artificial neural networks identifies utterances based on features extracted from the speech signal. The proposed approach to multilingual speaker identification consists of two parts, such as a training part and a testing part. In the training part, the classifier is trained using speech feature vectors. The spoken language contains complete information, such as details about the content of the message and details about the speaker of that message. In the present work, the speech signal databases of different speakers in a multilingual environment were recorded in three Indian languages, i.e., Hindi, Marathi, and Rajasthani. The cepstral characteristics of the speech signal were extracted: Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC). The system is designed for speaker recognition through multilingual speech signals using MFCC, GFCC, and combined functions as acoustic characteristics. Training and testing were performed using the Neural Network (NN) function, robust Backpropagation Algorithm (BPA), and Radial Basis Functions (RBF), and the results were compared. The accuracy of the speaker identification system is 94.89% using BPA and 96.62% using the RBF neural network.

Статья посвящена межпоколенческой передаче шести миноритарных языков Индии: трёх индоарийских, включая кумаони (штат Уттаракханд), куллуи (штат Химачал-Прадеш), западный марвари (штат Раджастан), и трёх языков мунда, а именно сора, бонда и гутоб (штат Одиша). Все перечисленные языки не имеют официального статуса и литературной нормы, используются почти исключительно для устной коммуникации, являются малоизученными и в той или иной степени находятся под угрозой исчезновения. Исследование основывается на полевых данных лингвистических экспедиций в Индию, в штаты Уттаракханд, Химачал-Прадеш, Раджастан и Одиша в 2014–2018 гг. Одной из задач, стоящих перед авторами во время изучения социолингвистической ситуации в ареалах распространения перечисленных выше миноритарных языков, было выявить основные причины и факторы утраты межпоколенческой передачи языков. В ходе исследования мы пришли к выводу, что одним из основных факторов, негативно влияющих на межпоколенческую передачу миноритарных языков Индии, является существующая в Индии система образования. Школьное образование ведется на официальных языках штатов Индии, и миноритарные языки в образовании не участвуют. Использование родных языков в школе в лучшем случае не одобряется, в худшем — находится под негласным запретом, поскольку воспринимается как помеха на пути качественного овладения официальным языком. Помимо этого, мы отмечаем непосредственную зависимость социальной устроенности от результатов школьных экзаменов, общую директивность индийского образования и практическое отсутствие в образовании диалога. Все перечисленное становится источником большого стресса как для самих учащихся, так и для их семей, в связи с чем родители стараются оградить детей от проблем, связанных с освоением языка образования, и предпочитают не говорить с ними на родных языках. Другим серьезным фактором, способствующим созданию негативного образа родных языков, становятся лингвистические предрассудки, преподаваемые в Индии в рамках школьной программы. Сюда относится терминологическое разделение языковых идиомов на языки (официальные языки) и говоры (миноритарные языки), закрепление понятия «родной язык» за официальным языком штата, представления о том, что язык должен иметь письменность на оригинальной основе, отличающуюся от письменностей других языков. Отдельное внимание уделяется освещению такого феномена индийской действительности как языковая дискриминация представителей племенных (так называемых «неприкасаемых» в индуистской традиции) этносов в рамках школы. Помимо проблем, связанных с существующей в Индии системой образования, мы обсуждаем и попытки их решения — инициативы языковых активистов и правительства. Ряд мер по продвижению многоязычного образования включены в программу MultiLingual Education (MLE), которая в настоящее время получила наиболее широкое распространение в штате Одиша. Рассматривается устройство и функционирование программы MLE в Одише, после чего обсуждается возможность её применения в других регионах. The paper deals with the intergenerational transmission of six minority languages in India, three Indo-Aryan languages, viz. Kumaoni (state of Uttarakhand), Kullui (state of Himachal Pradesh), Western Marwari (state of Rajasthan) and three Munda languages, viz. Sora, Remo and Gutob (state of Odisha). None of these languages has an official status or standardized written form, all of them are used almost exclusively for oral communication, poorly described and, to one degree or another, endangered. The data come from sociolinguistic surveys conducted by the authors in the states of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha in 2014–2018. One of the tasks during the sociolinguistic study in the areas of the above-mentioned minority languages was to identify the main factors of the intergenerational transmission loss. We claim that the modern education policies in India are one of the main factors disrupting language transmission. School education is conducted in the state official languages, and minority languages are not involved in it. Speaking minor languages is restricted by teachers at school, while the importance of the official languages is imposed on children. We note also the facts that the social level depends directly on the results of school exams and that Indian education is highly directive and excludes any dialogue. All of the above causes a great stress for students and their families. In this regard, parents try to protect their children from problems of mastering the language of education, and prefer not to speak with them in their native languages. Another major factor contributing to the negative image of native languages are linguistic prejudices taught in India as part of the school curriculum. This includes the division of idioms into languages (official languages) and dialects (minority languages), fixing the concept of “native language” for the official state language, the idea that the language should have a script on an original basis that differs from the scripts of other languages etc. Special attention is paid to such a phenomenon of India’s reality as linguistic discrimination of people from tribal (“untouchable” in Hindu tradition) ethnic groups within the school. In addition to the education system problems in India, the authors mention attempts to solve them by initiatives of language activists and the government. A number of measures to promote multilingual education are included in the MultiLingual Education (MLE) program, which is currently the most widely adopted in the state of Odisha. Considering structure and functioning of the MLE program in Odisha we discuss the possibility of its application in other regions.

Full textAbstract:
The fundamental element of the political system of Rajasthan is the interrelationship between the social structure and the political system. In a state like Rajasthan where there has been little modernization, caste orientation is its important feature, the caste structure is used by the political leadership for an effective and stable political system. If we look at the practical nature of Rajasthan's politics and assess it from the first general election, then it is clear that gradually the political ideals and principles became less important in the parties, then the basis of leadership increased on casteism. After the integration and creation of the princely states, it was unbearable for the feudatories to lose power, so they tried to get power through the democratic way by taking the Rajput caste along with them. In the first assembly elections, the maximum number of 54 Rajputs were elected in the house of 160 members, 22 Brahmins, 12 Jats, 15 Vaishyas, 10 Scheduled Castes and 6 Tribes, 2 Muslims and 39 belonged to other castes.

राजस्थान की राजनीतिक प्रणाली का आधारभूत तत्व सामाजिक संरचना एवं राजनीतिक पद्धति के मध्य अंतर्सम्बन्ध है। राजस्थान जैसे राज्य में जहां बहुत कम आधुनिकीकरण हुआ है, जातिगत झुकाव ही इसकी महत्वपूर्ण विशेषता है, राजनीतिक नेतृत्व द्वारा प्रभावशाली व स्थायी राजनीतिक पद्धति के लिए जातिगत संरचना का उपयोग किया जाता है। यदि राजस्थान की राजनीति का व्यवहारिक स्वरूप देखें और प्रथम आमचुनाव से आकलन किया जाए तो स्पष्ट होता है कि शनैः-शनैः दलों में राजनीतिक आदर्श तथा सिद्धांत महत्वहीन होते चले गए तो नेतृत्व का आधार जातिवाद पर बढ़ता गया। रियासतों के एकीकरण तथा निर्माण के पश्चात् सामंतों के लिए सत्ताच्यूत होना असहनीय था अतः उन्होंने राजपूत जाति को साथ लेकर लोकतांत्रिक मार्ग से सत्ता प्राप्ति का प्रयत्न किया। प्रथम विधानसभा चुनाव में 160 सदस्यों के सदन मंे सर्वाधिक 54 राजपूत निर्वाचन हुए, 22 ब्राह्मण, 12 जाट, 15 वैश्य, अनुसूचित जाति के 10 तथा जनजाति के 6, 2 मुस्लिम एवं 39 अन्य जातियों से संबंधित थे।

Abstract The paper describes historical roots as well as syntactic and semantic properties of the three main obligational constructions in modern Hindi-Urdu, Punjabi, Rajasthani 1 and Gujarati2 These constructions differ from one another by the degree and by the type of obligation. The main syntactic properties of obligational constructions discussed in the paper are Agent marking and long distance agreement rules. It will be demonstrated that the increasing frequency of the Dative instead of the Instrumental Agent marking in constructions of obligation was part of the gradual destruction of the ‘passive syntax’ typical for the climactic stage of ergative development.

The paper deals with the concept of miracle in the language and culture of the Jaisalmer district (Rajasthan, India). It is argued that a special understanding of miracle in that region is directly related to perceptions of the vernacular Hinduism prevalent in Rajasthan, which is based on mediumism. The concept of miracle, parco in Marwari (from the Old Indo-Aryan paricaya ‘acquaintance’), is a special cultural phenomenon that characterizes cases of unexpected manifestation of a deity or divine power outside the mediumship related rituals aimed at invoking the deity, and mostly not through a medium. The difference between parco in Marwari and camatkār in Standard Hindi is analyzed. Narratives on cases of parco related to the region under study are given as illustrative material.

Full textAbstract:
Dainik Bhaskar, a Hindi newspaper, after achieving leadership in Madhya Pradesh, a central Indian State, is looking for growth opportunities. It is looking at the Hindi Belt and has identified Jaipur as the market to enter. Rajasthan Patrika dominates Jaipur with about 80% readership share. Dainik Bhaskar uses market research to understand and reach the readers and starts with a confirmed circulation. Within a very short time it has overhauled Rajasthan Patrika. The case addresses the issue of identifying opportunities for growth by a language newspaper. It is unique because never before had a Hindi newspaper, and for that matter any language newspaper, gone beyond its stronghold. The case is also valuable because it indicates the detail that a company needs to bring into its marketing plan when fighting a long established competitor in a "habit" based product. The case describes the process that Dainik Bhaskar adopted for analysing the potential in the identified markets and then choosing Jaipur as its target market. The innovative use of research to not only understand the readers but also lock them in for a long enough period to keep competition at bay is another aspect of the case. It is an instance where for the first time in India, a newspaper was launched with a confirmed circulation. The case is also unique in the sense that the launch was carried out without the support of the main daily, Rajasthan Patrika, as it was the main competitor. The case brings out the importance of following up a launch for sustaining leadership. The case is useful in discussing the development of marketing strategies when tackling a monopolistic situation. The case can be used in marketing classes for bringing out the issues of growth, competition, product design, research, and market identification.

In the revolutionary campaigns of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' occupies a special place in itself. Today the effect of this campaign is clearly visible not only in Rajasthan but also in all the states of India. It is one of the major development schemes of the Indian Prime Minister. So, it is expected that this scheme will bring positive results for all the people of the society. If today every citizen of India would have discharged his/her duties with full responsibility, then perhaps this scheme would not have been needed. Therefore, it can be said that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a commendable effort by the Government of India.

The centuries between the eighth and the thirteenth stand out rather prominently from the point of view of the making of cultural traditions in India. The most arresting feature of these traditions is regionalism, which gets reflected in every sphere, whether it be the formation of political power or the development of arts or the transformations in languages and literature or even religious manifestations. In very general terms, the emergence of regional cultural units such as Andhra, Assam, Bengal, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, etc. was the outcome of significant material changes. The pace of agrarian changes and the developments in the non-agrarian sector were setting the tone of feudal socio-economic formation. The political structure was deeply affected by these developments. It should, not, therefore, surprise us if the cultural ethos too got permeated by similar strains. The Mudrarakshasa, a play written in Sanskrit by Vishakhadatta and generally ascribed to the fifth century, speaks of different regions whose inhabitants differ in customs, clothing and language. The identity of some kind of sub-national groups is recognized by the Chinese pilgrim Hieun-Tsang who visited India in the first half of the seventh century and mentions several nationalities. The Kuvalayamala, a Jain text of the eighth century and largely concerned with western India, notes the existence of 18 major nationalities and describes the anthropological character of sixteen peoples, pointing out their psychological features and citing the examples of their language. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana, ascribed to the thirteenth century Bengal explicates deshabheda — differences based on regions/territories. This feature is reflected in art and architecture as well. We see the emergence of various regional traditions and it was during this time that different architectural languages such as Nagara, Dravida and Vesara matured. In this research article begin survey by looking at the various types of architectural styles and art traditions.

Full textAbstract:
The use of technology for second language (L2) acquisition has become ubiquitous, but little thought has been given to the factors that impact the language learning experience. This study aims to use the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework to propose and validate a more comprehensive model for investigating the influence of presence on learners’ L2 learning experience using Technology Enhanced Language Learning (TELL). Data were collected from a sample of language learners (n = 129) studying in the State of Rajasthan, India using an e-questionnaire. To scrutinize the effect of various forms of presence, descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted. The findings suggest strong, positive, and statistically significant associations exist between the original CoI elements (teaching presence, cognitive presence and social presence), the newly added elements (learning presence, emotional presence, and technological presence), and learning experience. These results confirm the idea that presence can hinder and/or enhance L2 learning experiences. No association was found between technical barriers and learning experience. The findings have theoretical and practical implications. The results suggest the value of expanding the CoI framework, scrutinizing the learners’ experience, analyzing the influence of presence, and enriching the application of the technology for language learning. Such results may ensure TELL courses are designed as vigorous learning environs which facilitate language acquisition.

Full textAbstract:
The period after Gandhi's arrival in India from South Africa is called the 'Gandhi Era' of independence. The political activities going on in British India during this period were centered on Gandhi and Gandhism, that is, non-violence was especially followed in their movements. During this period, the independence movements of India also had an impact in Rajasthan.
Various non-violent movements took place in Rajasthan right from the inception of the Congress. For example, when the messages of the Congress sessions of 1885, 1886 and 1889 reached Ajmer, the students of Ajmer formed the Congress Committee. At this time the Bijolia peasant movement was a non-violent movement in Rajputana, in which the peasants resisted the princely atrocities non-violently. During the non-cooperation movement, despite the moderate attitude of the kings towards the British rule, the people non-violently opposed the British laws and during these three visits of Gandhi to Rajasthan were important. The influence of Gandhi's non-violent teachings is clearly visible in the various peasant movements of Rajasthan. During the Salt Satyagraha, the people peacefully opposed the British laws. Apart from this, for the establishment of responsible government in Rajasthan, Prajamandal movement was started which were examples of non-violent movement. In this context, the said research paper studies the pre-independence Gandhian movements of Rajasthan in front of the society and presents a non-violent outline of all pacifist movements.

The democratic system is considered the best among the governance systems of any country. Among the various features of this superior system, one prominent feature is the presence of a welfare state. Welfare state is that concept of governance in which the state plays an important role in the socio-economic progress of the citizens. The welfare state works on the principle of equality of opportunities, equitable distribution of resources and ensuring access to basic needs of the people. After independence, India adopted the concept of welfare state to fulfill the basic needs of the people and run the government. The present Rajasthan government has provided many facilities to the people of Rajasthan in every field, due to which Rajasthan has emerged as a 'model state'. The government has started many schemes for public welfare which are directly benefiting the people. Abstract in Hindi Language: लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था को किसी भी देश की संचालन व्यवस्थाओं में से श्रेष्ठ माना जाता है। इस श्रेष्ठ व्यवस्था की विभिन्न विशेषताओं में से एक प्रमुख विशेषता कल्याणकारी राज्य की उपस्थिति है। कल्याणकारी राज्य, शासन की वह संकल्पना है, जिसमें राज्य नागरिकों की सामाजिक-आर्थिक उन्नति में महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका का निर्वहन करता है। कल्याणकारी राज्य अवसरों की समानता, संसाधनों का न्यायोचित वितरण तथा लोगों तक मूलभूत आवश्यकताओं की पहुँच सुनिश्चित करने के सिद्धांत पर कार्य करता है। स्वतंत्रता के बाद भारत ने जनता की मूलभूत आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति तथा शासन संचालन हेतु कल्याणकारी राज्य की संकल्पना को अपनाया। वर्तमान राजस्थान सरकार ने राजस्थान की जनता के लिए प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में बहुत सारी सुविधाओं को उपलब्ध करवाया है, जिससे राजस्थान का स्वरूप ‘मॉडल स्टेट‘ के रूप में सामने आया है। सरकार ने जन कल्याण के लिए कई योजनाएं प्रारंभ की है जिसका सीधा लाभ जनता को मिल रहा है। Keywords: राजस्थान सरकार, जनकल्याणकारी योजनाएँ, सामाजिक सुरक्षा, आर्थिक सुरक्षा।

Full textAbstract:
Background. Technology-Enabled Language learning (TELL) encourages peer communication and collaboration through its innovative instructional methods. Collaborative student activities are recognised as an important component of the instructional approach of higher education, More recently, collaborative learning in conjunction with digital teaching tools has emerged as a preferred SLA pedagogical approach. Despite growing interest in TELL, research into the effects of collaborative learning on affective factors in SLA remains unexplored.
Purpose. The aim of the proposed study is to identify factors influencing the behavioral intention of students to use WhatsApp for second language acquisition. Constructs from previous models: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and perceived relevance (UTAUT) are tested, along with the mediating role of a new variable ‘collaborative learning’.
Methods. Using the convenience sampling technique, the sample comprises 202 undergraduates studying in Institutes in Rajasthan, India. Data collected through Google forms was analyzed through IBM SPSS ver. 26 and Smart-PLS ver. 3.2.9, using structural equation modeling.
Results. A positive and significant relationship was established between all the selected constructs. The indirect effects were positive, yet less significant than the direct effects. Moreover, the partially mediating effect of collaborating learning was affirmed. Empirical data confirms that collaborative learning acts as a mediating variable enhancing the intention to use WhatsApp for SLA.
Conclusion. The present study makes an original and innovative contribution to language studies by analysing the relationship between the predictors. Such a systematic understanding of the topic can assist instructors in designing robust future pedagogical techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The rural farmers in western Rajasthan State are uneducated and most of the applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are demonstrated and run in the English Language. The majority of these rural farmers who are illiterates with a very low level of understanding of the English Language find it difficult to take advantage of the availability of ICT to facilitate their access to information for their farm businesses. This study examined the role of ICT in enhancing the farmers’ access to production and marketing information in western Rajasthan State in India. Primary data was collected from 133 farmers consisting of 71 ICT users and 62 Non-ICT users through questionnaire administration. The results of the Analysis of Variance test regarding the farmers’ access to different types of production and marketing information revealed that the user type (i.e., ICT versus Non-ICT user) significantly explains the differences in farmers’ access to the different types of marketing and production information. These results are consistent with the empirical results of the student’s t-test that farmers’ access to different types of production and marketing information from ICT sources is significantly higher than from Non-ICT sources. Consistently, the empirical results of the multiple regressions revealed that the percentage of production and marketing information obtained from ICT sources had positive significant influence on the farmers’ access to marketing and production information; and that the percentage of marketing and production information obtained from Non-ICT sources had negative significant influence on the farmers’ access to marketing and production information. These results suggest that ICT sources of marketing and production information play a crucial role in the farmers’ access to this information for their business operations. The implication is that proper education and training of farmers (especially the female farmers) about the utilization of ICT sources to accelerate access to information is crucial.

There are many players for health care delivery systems like public and private providers. In between, another service delivery system exists and survived at large scale in rural India. One of them is called Rural Medical Practitioner or quacks or Jhola Chaap (unqualified service provider) or unethical practitioner. The term RMP is still not clear. In the lay men language, RMP stands for registered medical practitioner but only graduate in MBBS are registered by the Medical Council of India and has a valid licence to practices allopathic medicine in public health. In the medical world. In many developing countries like India, informal or rural medical practitioner provides the large-scale services to the poor and villagers. These practitioners cater a large population especially in rural India. In Rajasthan, the coverage of population by Government Public Health Services is not sufficient. This study carried out with interviewing 117 unqualified health care providers in rural area of Rajasthan. The current paper discusses about academic background, training, experience, daily patient load and practice of informal health care providers altering the unavailable health care professional for a long time. As resulted, a total of 95 (81.20%) informal health care providers have their own clinic where they attend the patients and provide services 24 x 7 without charging consultation fee, go for home visits to see the patient and refer the patients in critical situation to Government health facilities, etc. The strong presence of these so-called rural practitioners in the basket of private health care system put the rural health in very critical situations.

Character balance means the orderly combination of characters in a picture. That is, color is a big subject in painting and the combination of colors in the picture is very important. The importance of colors in Indian painting has been from prehistoric times to modern times. The inspiration of the artist's inner expressions in the painting is displayed through paintings. Art takes birth in the painter's emotions. It develops only from unconscious unknown depths of mind. Picture has been an important medium in transforming these feelings into realization. Colors have their own distinct significance, as well as colors have their own expressions and language, they have a deep connection with human emotions. In the Indian aesthetic philosophy, the colors described in the pictures have different meanings, such as white color symbolizes peace and satvikta, red symbolizes valor and valor, black evils and mental instincts. The medium of use of colors in painting has varied from prehistoric times to modern times, such as natural color, mineral color, acrylic color, watercolor etc. Till date, paints have been filled in the paintings by the painter in all these mediums. Examples of this include the fresco depiction style in Ajanta, the Mughal period hill, Rajasthani tempra, Renaissance period waters, etc. Using the above colors in the paintings, the picture depicts the beauty, elegance and emotion, the artist who is inspired by the very passion and inspiration, displays the colors through different pictures. Color stimulates the painter's expressions in the picture. Under the publication of "Indian Society of Oriental Art" by Avanindranath Thakur for the knowledge of art renaissance and picture-making, in reference to 'Alakhri painting' in the fourth place among the 64 arts mentioned in 'Kamasutra' in the booklet 'Shadang'.

In this, the knowledge of full color combination depicted by the painter, their symbolic, detailed interpretation of meaning and rules. Similarly, it has been said in the Natyasastra - 'Varnaam tu vidhim gatva and prakritimeva ch kuryadangasya rachanam', that is, by understanding the method and nature of the varna, the figure should be formed. With this, the development of art skills in the artist and the viewer realizes the importance of colors in the painting.
वर्ण संतुलन का अर्थ चित्र में वर्णों का सुव्यवस्थित संयोजन। अर्थात् चित्रकला में रंग एक बड़ा विषय है और चित्र में रंगों की संयोजना बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण है। भारतीय चित्रकला में रंगों का महत्व प्रागैतिहासिक काल से लेकर आधुनिक काल तक रहा है। चित्रकला में कलाकार के आंतरिक भावों की अभिप्रेरणा चित्रों के माध्यम से प्रदर्शित होती है। कला चित्रकार के मनोभावों में जन्म लेती है। यह मन की अचेतन अज्ञात गहराईयों से ही विकसित होती है। इन भावनाओं को साकार रूप में परिवर्तित करने में चित्र महत्वपूर्ण माध्यम रहा है। रंगांे का अपना ही अलग महत्व रहा है इसके साथ ही रंगों की अपनी भावभंगिमा व भाषा होती है, इनका मानवीय भावनाओं से गहरा संबंध होता है। भारतीय सौन्दर्य-दर्शन में चित्रों में वर्णित रंगों का अर्थ अलग-अलग है, जैसे- सफेद रंग शांति और सात्विकता का प्रतीक, लाल शौर्य और वीरता का प्रतीक, काला बुराईयों व मानसिक वृत्तियों इत्यादि। चित्रकला में प्रागैतिहासिक काल से लेकर आधुनिक काल तक रंगों के प्रयोग का माध्यम भिन्न-भिन्न रहा है, जैसे- प्राकृतिक रंग, खनिज रंग, एक्रेलिक रंग, जलरंग आदि। अभी तक इन सभी माध्यमों में चित्रकार द्वारा चित्रों में रंग भरे जाते रहे हैं। इसके उदाहरणों में अजन्ता में फ्रेस्को चित्रण शैली, मुगलकालीन पहाड़ी, राजस्थानी टेम्परा, पुनर्जागरणकाल जलरंग आदि। चित्रों में उपर्युुक्त रंगों का प्रयोग कर चित्र में सौन्दर्य, लावण्य व भावों का निरूपण होता है, जिस कलाकार बहुत ही तन्मयता व अंतःप्रेरणा से प्रेरित हो रंगों को विभिन्न चित्रों के माध्यम से प्रदर्शित करता है। रंग चित्र में चित्रकार के भावों को उदीप्त करता है। अवनीन्द्रनाथ ठाकुर द्वारा कला के पुनर्जागरण व चित्र-सृजन के ज्ञान हेतु “इण्डियन सोसायटी आॅफ ओरिएन्टल आर्ट” के प्रकाशन के अंतर्गत ‘षडांग’ नामक पुस्तिका में ‘कामसूत्र’ में वर्णित 64 कलाओं में चैथे स्थान पर ‘आलेख्य चित्रकला’ के सन्दर्भ में चित्रकला के छः अंगों के बारे में विस्तृत विवेचना की है। इन छः अंगों में छठे क्रम में वर्णिकाभंग अर्थात् रंगों के चित्र में महत्व को दर्शाया गया है। इसमें चित्रकार द्वारा चित्रण पूर्ण रंग संयोजन का ज्ञान, उनकी प्रतीकात्मक, अर्थ व नियमों का विस्तृत विवेचन है। इसी प्रकार नाट्यशास्त्र में कहा गया है कि- ‘वर्णनाम तु विधिम् गत्वा तथा प्रकृतिमेव च कुर्यादंगस्य रचनाम्’, अर्थात् वर्ण की विधि और प्रकृति को समझकर ही आकृति को बनाना चाहिए। इससे कलाकार में कला-कौशल का विकास व दर्शक को चित्रकला में रंगों के महत्व का बोध होता है।

AbstractThe Kyamkhanis were a small Indian Muslim community who flourished in northern Rajasthan from c. 1450 to 1730. This article examines memories of the Kyamkhani past recorded in a seventeenth-century history of the ruling lineage, as a case study of both the process of Islamic expansionism in South Asia and the self-identity of rural Muslim gentry. While celebrating the ancestor who had converted to Islam generations earlier, the Kyamkhanis also represented themselves as local warriors of the Rajput class, an affiliation that is considered exclusively Hindu in India today. Their history was written in a local literary language, Braj Bhasa, rather than in the more cosmopolitan Persian that was widely used by Muslim elites at the time. The Kyamkhanis of the early modern era thus negotiated multiple social and cultural spheres, simultaneously participating in the local/vernacular as well as global/cosmopolitan arenas.

The influence of literature is like a continuous flowing river which steals the stages of mass life every moment and pens them as immediate reality. Every aspect related to life, sorrow-happiness, joy, sadness, hope-disappointment, disillusionment, pain, panic, suffocation, ideal-realistic moods, instant truth, all these become the subjects of literature. Today's poetry is not the poetry of individual, society, politics and common issues of civilization and writing about them only. It is a poem living the world being seen anew every moment and its changing dynamic reality. Human life and poetry have been related since the beginning because poetry is relative to society. The biggest feature of poetry is that it is the complete identity of its time. Poetry is the sensory rhythm of man. It has been doing the work of awakening man's conscience for a long time.

IntroductionPregnancy is characterised by a high rate of metabolic shifts from early to late phases of gestation in order to meet the raised physiological and metabolic needs. This change in levels of metabolites is influenced by gestational weight gain (GWG), which is an important characteristic of healthy pregnancy. Inadequate/excessive GWG has short-term and long-term implications on maternal and child health. Exploration of gestational metabolism is required for understanding the quantitative changes in metabolite levels during the course of pregnancy. Therefore, our aim is to study trimester-specific variation in levels of metabolites in relation to GWG and its influence on fetal growth and newborn anthropometric traits at birth.Methods and analysisA prospective longitudinal study is planned (start date: February 2018; end date: March 2023) on pregnant women that are being recruited in the first trimester and followed in subsequent trimesters and at the time of delivery (total 3 follow-ups). The study is being conducted in a hospital located in Bikaner district (66% rural population), Rajasthan, India. The estimated sample size is of 1000 mother-offspring pairs. Information on gynaecological and obstetric history, socioeconomic position, diet, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption, depression, anthropometric measurements and blood samples is being collected for metabolic assays in each trimester using standardised methods. Mixed effects regression models will be used to assess the role of gestational weight in influencing metabolite levels in each trimester. The association of maternal levels of metabolites with fetal growth, offspring’s weight and body composition at birth will be investigated using regression modelling.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the ethics committees of the Department of Anthropology, University of Delhi and Sardar Patel Medical College, Rajasthan. We are taking written informed consent after discussing the various aspects of the study with the participants in the local language.

Agri tourism is not new among tourism stakeholders. For any agricultural dependent economy agritourism could be a keystone for socio economic wellbeing. Agri tourism involved all the regular activities on the farms in order to provide the natural and authentic cultural aroma to the tourists. They enjoy the heritage food, which is prepared by ancient methods. The concept of Agri tourism applies as a strategy for community development at various rural areas of the globe. It acts like a hybrid process that upholds the community and revitalize the visitors through its natural aroma. The present study tries to quantify that whether the agritourism could be the catalyst for farmers or not. Secondly how the real benefits could reach to the community. This study took a case of Rajasthan agri tourism which is in infant stage. Few villages pull tourists towards the sanctity and authenticity of heritage. The present study is based on few independent factors (climate, methods of farming, accessibility, natural heritage) and dependent factors (cleanliness/ Hygiene, Language, unique services, indigenous traditions) taken for the study in order to measure its viability for the economic development of rural community (EDC) of Rajasthan. Another independent factor is the financial assistance and the division of share in partnering the agritourism business. The study provides a complete literature review of Agri tourism with an analytical assessment of factors accountable as a driver for the economic growth of rural inhabitants. Agritourism is still a concept in many places. Though it applies on few farms successfully but most of farms are created for tourists and direct EDC are not get benefitted. Factors chosen for study were a great help to comprehend the viability of the concept. Rajasthan is a state already recognized by tourists as a cultural destination, yet not touched successfully the agritourism business. Traditional method of farming with heritage food, customs, livelihoods are the biggest variable for EDC. The case analyses defined that the dependent factors are still needed for proper economic development of community & the combination of two would provide the authentic picture and accommodating to uphold the community. This study suggested a model that counters all the challenges faced in developing agritourism. The paper offers lots of entrepreneurial opportunities for rural community that up lift not only their economic level but also could help to raise their social and cultural strata. The research is an eye opening for the investors and authorities that with little effort the social, cultural and economic development of the rural community.

Asian Journal of Research in Zoology 6, no. 4 (November 9, 2023): 100–106. http://dx.doi.org/10.9734/ajriz/2023/v6i4127.
Full textAbstract:
Aims: The study aims to study the resource partitioning and nesting behaviour in four species namely Common Myna, Bank Myna, Brahminy Starling, and Asian Pied Starling nesting in human settlements.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted from January 2022 to July 2023 in peri-urban areas of Ajmer city, Rajasthan, India.
Methodology: Using observations and point-count transects, we examined the nesting preferences, heights, and materials used by these species.
Results: The findings reveal that all four species demonstrated a remarkable adaptability to urban environments by selecting man-made structures as their preferred nesting sites. Common Mynas, in particular, displayed a preference for a variety of human constructions, such as buildings and building cracks, and utilized materials like twigs, straws, plastic, paper, and cotton.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of considering wildlife adaptation in urban planning and conservation efforts, as these birds thrive in human-altered landscapes. The nesting behaviors and adaptation of these Sturnidae species in urban environments reveal their ability to coexist with human development. Understanding these interactions is crucial for both avian ecology and urban planning, as it sheds light on the intricate relationships between wildlife and changing landscapes.

Background: Newborn hearing screening is conducted to identify suspected hearing loss and not to confirm the presence/absence of hearing loss or define features of the loss. Speech and hearing are interrelated, i.e., a problem with one could mean a problem with the other as speech and language is acquired normally through auditory system.Methods: A descriptive study conducted in the Department of Paediatrics, Dr. S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur, from June 2016 to December 2017. 5000 neonates were screened using otoacoustic emissions (OAE) in 2 stages at birth during 3rd to 7th day and 15-30 days respectively, followed by BERA at 3 months of age.Results: 1.4 infants per thousand infants had hearing loss. Presence of high-risk factors was seen to be associated be associated with hearing loss more than normal infants on screening with distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) tests. However, on testing with BERA no such association was seen.Conclusions: 1.4 per 1000 infants had hearing loss. This study has shown that two stage distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) hearing screening followed by british educational research association (BERA) to confirm the hearing deficit, can be successfully implemented as new born hearing screening method in a hospital set-up, for early detection of hearing impaired, on a large scale, to achieve the high-quality standard of screening programs in a resource limited and developing nation like India.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropologists have often contrasted ‘caste’ and ‘tribe’ as forms of social organisation based on opposite principles (eg ‘castes' are based on hierarchy, ‘tribal’ society is undifferentiated and egalitarian). The concept of ‘caste’ is both an imposed one, a product of colonial governmental and academic exercises, and one which has political realities. However, whilst such national and regional formulations of caste are important, they do not always reflect the social categories which are central to the organisation of people's lives at the local level. The Girasias (generally held to be a ‘tribe’ by others) live in Rajasthan in proximity to the Rajputs (generally held to be a ‘caste’; Girasias themselves claim to be a branch of the Rajput caste). On many points the way in which a group categorises itself does not correspond with the way in which it is categorised by members of other groups. In practice the Girasias share many social, economic and religious institutions with the other ‘caste’ communities in the region as also with the ‘tribal Bhils. This does not mean that these groups are indistinguishable, but ‘Rajput’ and ‘Bhil’ stereotypes were used within the Girasia group to express differences, identifications and evaluations. However the tribe/caste distinction and the corresponding division of labour between anthropologists and sociologists in India is thereby called into question. To the Girasias, patrilineal kinship and territory play a central role in their sense of ‘caste’ identity, unlike other communities (the Rajputs and Bhils are exceptions) for whom caste is a more dispersed, agnatic and affinal group. Descent is crucial. Although their kinship ideology emphasises a sense of separation rather than hierarchy, Girasia kin divisions present members with equal opportunities to be unequal. Lineal kinship provides the paradigm for talking about all relationships whether or not based on actual biological ties. Equally, gender provides an idiom for the construction of difference. Descent groups are differentiated according to the evaluation of groups from which they have been able to obtain wives. Both Girasias and outsiders use the attire and the behaviour of women and perceived gender roles to distinguish between themselves. Despite the local complexity of Girasia kinship and gender relations which cannot be expressed in the language of caste and tribe, outsiders (other castes, classes, government officials, academics) continue to regard the Girasias as tribal as a result of the politics of caste and gender at the local, regional and national levels.

ObjectivesThe analysis aimed to assess the scale of interviewer effects on abortion survey responses, to compare interviewer effects between different question wordings and between direct and indirect approaches, and to identify interviewer and interview characteristics that explain interviewer effects on abortion reporting.Setting2018 Performance Monitoring for Action nationally representative household surveys from Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Rajasthan, India.ParticipantsSurvey data from 20 016 interviews with reproductive age (15–49) women, selected using multistage stratified cluster sampling. Data from self-administered interviewer surveys and from a sample of health service delivery points that serve the female survey participants were also included.Primary outcome measuresOutcomes were the respondent’s own experience of ever ‘removing a pregnancy’, their closest confidante’s experience of pregnancy removal and the respondent’s own experience of period regulation.ResultsSubstantial interviewer effects were observed, ranging from 7% in Côte d’Ivoire to 24% in Nigeria for pregnancy removal. Interviewer effects for survey questions that were designed to ask about abortion in a less stigmatising way were either similar to (9%–26% for confidante-reporting) or higher than (17%–32% for a question about period regulation) the pregnancy removal question. Interviewer and interview characteristics associated with abortion reporting included respondent–interviewer familiarity, the language of interview and the interviewer’s comfort asking questions about abortion.ConclusionThis study highlights that questions designed to be less stigmatising may increase interviewer effects due to lower comprehension among respondents. Further work is needed to assess question wordings for different contexts. Selecting and training interviewers to ensure comfort asking questions about abortion is important for reproductive health surveys. Challenges for the use of ‘insider’ interviewers and the management of surveys in countries with high linguistic diversity are also identified.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the use of animated tales to develop the oral communication skills of secondary school learners. In the present era, animation has preoccupied most of the young learners’ minds, and as a result of that, most of the time they are seen watching animated programs and movies. It is a well-known fact that children find animation very interesting. In the present research study, it was assumed that animation could be very useful to develop the oral communication skills of the children. The study was carried out at ‘Rajasthan Marwadi School’ in the Latur district of Maharashtra.Sixty students were chosen through random sampling. They were divided into two groups: the controlled group and the experimental group.
Tasks and activities were used as a research tool to analyse the impact of animated tales on the development of learners’ oral communication skills. Other research tools used in the study were classroom observation checklist, tests, and semi-structured interviews. The data was collected through administering various tasks and exercises and analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. T-test was used for quantitative analysis of the data. The quantified data showed that students from the experimental group showed forty percent (40%) improvement in their oral communication skills. The classroom observation and the transcription of the recorded interviews were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the research indicated that the use of animated tales improved the oral communication skills of the learners. Moreover, such animated tales rendered language learning interesting and motivating.

Full textAbstract:
The Adolescent Friendly Health Clinic (AFHCs), a key component of the Government of India’s National Adolescent Health Programme a.k.a. Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK), aims to increase the accessibility and utilization of sexual-reproductive health services by adolescents and youth. However, low quality of care provided at AFHCs by counsellors calls for attention. We, thus, explore both the clients’ and providers’ perspectives using the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global standards for quality health-care services for adolescents to assess the quality of the sexual reproductive health service delivery at AFHCs in Rajasthan, India. We conducted a qualitative study, comprising observation of the service delivery using mystery clients (MCs) (n = 12) and in-depth interviews with the counsellors (n = 4) in four AFHCs. Interviews were transcribed in local language and were translated in English. The transcripts were coded thematically. Our study, using five of the eight WHO global standards for quality health-care services for adolescents highlighted several gaps in the quality-of-service delivery at AFHCs. We unearth various intricacies related to the quality of the services provided at the AFHCs by referring to the relevant input, process, and the output criteria of WHO global standards I, III, IV, V and VI. Our study calls for efforts to improve- (i) the counsellors’ competencies to increase adolescents’ health literacy on sensitive topics, (ii) the facilities at the clinic to ensure privacy, comfort and confidentiality of the adolescents seeking services, (iii) the referrals to improve appropriate package of services, and (iv) an overall environment to ensure an equity and non-discrimination for all the adolescents. Our findings unearth the barriers that both the service providers and the adolescents face at the AFHCs and underscore the need for regular monitoring and evaluation of the AFHCs to strengthen the facility-based intervention of the RKSK programme.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction: Hearing loss is a global issue of hearing disability and early detection and rehabilitation of hearing loss are important for the development of speech and language skills in hearing-impaired infants. There are multiple risk factors that aid in hearing loss but some are potential factors that contribute toward hearing loss in infants. The aim of this study was to assess the burden of hearing loss and its correlation with risk factors among high-risk infants at a teaching institution in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Method: This study was carried out after approval of institutional ethics committee on a total of 320 high-risk infants at RUHS College of medical sciences and associated hospitals. Hearing loss was assessed by brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA). Statistical analysis of data was done by cross-tabulation analysis with Pearson correlation and quantile regression. Results: Out of 320 high-risk infants, 59.69% of infants had normal hearing, 9.09% Unilaterally hearing impaired, 20.31% were bilaterally mild-moderate hearing loss, and 10.94% had severe-profound deafness. The prevalence of important risk factors viz. hyperbilirubinemia, low birth weight, appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration score, meconium aspiration, respiratory distress, and ventilation greater than five days were 86%, 58.9%, 40%, 36%, 29%, and 22%, respectively. Conclusion: In high-risk infants, hearing loss is a common hearing disorder. Because of this, early diagnosis of hearing loss gives them the best chance of developing functional speech. Brainstem evoked response audiometry is a simple, reliable, and effective technique for the assessment of auditory functions in infants.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper intends to develop insights into the system of education practiced in India as a Guru- Shishya Parampara through Gurukuls in contemporary times. Some of such models are presented in this paper to suggest the curriculum in the present education system in the light of NEP. There are Gurukulas even in the current times following the ancient system and are preserving Indian knowledge and Guru Shishya Parampara. They still follow oral tradition and practice various ideologies. In the Indian education system, there are two types of Vidyas; they are Para and Apara Vidya. Para Vidya is related to spiritual (Non-Material) like Vedas and Vedangas, Upanishads etc., which leads us to liberation. Apara Vidya is connected to (Material) Science and technology, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, and sixty-four Kalas (Music, dance, skills, warfare arts etc.); the ultimate goal of the Apara Vidya is to reach the Moksha through Para Vidya. In Rig Vedic period, every individual had equal opportunities in the field of education irrespective of race, religion, gender, cast and region etc. But later Periods, the education system was influenced by religious, political, economic, social and other factors. The ideals, spiritual practices, duty helped for the welfare of the universe by the individuals or society is called Dharma. In India, Dharma is the ultimate destination for everyone. Indians are inculcating Dharma through spirituality, responsibility, morals, duties and knowledge. The treasure of knowledge in India is preserved in the sacred texts in the ancient Sanskrit language. The Sanskrit language is the key to understanding the enormous knowledge of India. Some of the (Agrahara) villages in India are like 1. Mattur (Karnataka), 2. Jhiri (Madhya Pradesh) and 3. Ganoda (Rajasthan), Parishads, Ashramas,Vidya Peetas,Mathas and Vedic /Sanskrit Universities still preserve the Deva Bhasha Sanskrit as their Mother Tongue and Educational language. There are different Gurukulas established with different ancient ideologies, Curriculum, rules and regulations by different Philosophies from ancient to the present. Still, the ultimate goal of all these organizations is to preserve and transfer ancient Indian knowledge to the next generations. The central core idea of the Gurukula is to train the students with their interesting skills and their education, and it is not preparing the students for seeking jobs. The kind quality of education in Gurukulas influences the overall development of students as human beings. Gurus and Shishyas discipline, responsibility, duties and dedication etc., are the utmost essential qualities in this system. This paper tries to explain the ancient Gurukul practices and the processes involved and understand various models existing with diverse Indian philosophical perspectives. This paper also brings out a critical analysis of some of the existing models of Gurukuls.

Full textAbstract:
Research has revealed that during the Corona Pandemic almost a thousand single screen theatres shut down for good in India. Meanwhile, a huge surge was seen in the viewership of OTT platforms. Producers who could not release their films in theatres sold their films to OTTs instead; and this trend has continued even in the post-pandemic environ. It is believed that this growth in the popularity of streaming platforms is facilitated by the bolder content that OTTs offer, raising several ethical dilemmas for both viewers and the government over censorship issues. A survey conducted by this researcher amongst more than 350 young students across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh revealed that 47.5% of the respondents (311) go only once a year to watch a film in a cinema hall, while 14.3% do not go to a film theatre at all. On the other hand, among the same set of respondents, 13.2% watch a film every day, 38.5% watch every week and 40.8% every month on an OTT platform. 51.3% of the youth who responded to the survey also revealed that the explicit scenes of nudity and violence in OTT content, does not bother them. There is however also the view shared with this researcher by Jyotsana Garg, an advisory panel member of the Central Board of Film Certification, who says that the present guidelines enacted to regulate OTTs in India are not adequate; as the foul language, nudity and violence in OTT content will negatively impact the youth, and there is a need for greater censorship. The moral compass is obviously divergent between the youth and policy makers. In conclusion, there are contrary ethical standards and many dilemmas surrounding visual representations in the fictional world of cinema and OTT, especially with OTTs showcasing bolder content and threatening the very survival of cinema halls.
