Abstract: Health is the key to a developed country. Health awareness is very important for living a beautiful and normal life. Taking health precautions is essential for the development of the country. In colonial India, the British government gave more importance to the issue of health awareness. The importance of health education is also noteworthy in the present times. At that time, the British government encouraged women to pursue health education. The importance of health education is also noteworthy in the present times. However the main purpose behind conducting this study is to explore the importance of health education during the British colonial period and in the present day, to examine the obstacles faced by women in gaining entrance to medical colleges in colonial Bengal and in the present- day, to investigate the women’s safety in medical colleges during the British era and in the present time. The researcher has used Qualitative method to complete the research paper in question. So in this case the researcher has done historical and content analysis. From the research paper in question, the researcher has reached the conclusion that, the introduction of women into the field of education during the British era and its exceptional present period, many years later, the violence and brutality against female doctors, presents a barbaric picture. In the present day, due to political anarchy and lack of discipline in medical colleges, female students and doctors are repeatedly being raped and murdered. Which can be called a triumph of degradation rather than progress in a modern technological society. Which is the shame of the present society and Bengal.

Abstract: Information and Communication technology (ICT) has become central to contemporary discourses of Inclusive Education, promoted as a catalyst for equitable learning opportunities. Assistive technologies, online learning platforms and adaptive systems are celebrated for dismantling barriers faced by learners with disabilities, marginalized communities and those in remote regions. Yet this optimistic narrative often obscures structural inequalities, cultural erasures and privatization pressures that ICT may also reinforce. This paper critically interrogates the role of ICT in Inclusive Education through the lens of critical pedagogy and global policy experiences. Using a qualitative critical review methodology, it asks: Does ICT genuinely enable Inclusive Education or does it risk reproducing or deepening existing educational inequalities? The analysis reveals that while ICT can expand accessibility and personalization, its effectiveness is constrained by digital divides, Western-centric designs, weak teacher preparation and corporate interests. The paper concludes that ICT is not inherently inclusive; its emancipatory potential depends on systemic equity measures, cultural responsiveness and participatory implementation.

Abstract: This study explores the development of Buddhist monasticism in Bengal during the Pāla Dynasty (750–1179 AD) and its profound influence on the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual landscape of early medieval Bengal. The Pāla rulers’ patronage of Buddhism led to the flourishing of major monastic institutions such as Nalanda, Vikramashila, and Odantapuri, which played a pivotal role in spreading Mahāyāna and Tantric Buddhist teachings to neighboring regions like Tibet, China, and Southeast Asia. This study examines the role of Bengali monastic life in shaping local cultural identities, particularly through architectural design, ritual practices, and intellectual exchange. The research draws on a combination of historical records, archaeological findings, and textual analysis to investigate the lasting impact of Bengal’s Buddhist monastic culture on the broader Buddhist world and its contribution to the region’s cultural heritage.

Abstract: The year 1989 marked a paradigm shift in Indian macro-politics, signalling the transition from the “Congress System” to a prolonged era of multi-party coalition governments. This research paper examines the dual nature of coalition politics in India between 1989 and 2014, evaluating whether this period was defined by chronic instability and policy compromise or by a new form of democratic stability and federal inclusivity. By analysing the tenures of the National Front, United Front, NDA, and UPA, the study highlights how the rise of regional parties and identity-based politics (Mandalization) decentralized power from the Centre to the States. The findings suggest that while coalition governments often faced “policy paralysis” due to the veto power of diverse partners, they simultaneously ensured a remarkable continuity in core economic reforms and foreign policy. Furthermore, the era significantly strengthened Indian federalism by curbing the misuse of Article 356 and fostering a “negotiated” cooperative framework. Ultimately, the paper argues that coalition politics, far from being a mere compromise, reflected India’s socio-cultural pluralism and matured the parliamentary process into a more representative and participatory model.

Abstract: The present study investigates the prevalence of unconscious bias among teachers toward diverse learners in the district of Kasaragod, Kerala. Given the region’s multilingual and multicultural composition, the study explores six major forms of bias—prejudice, gender bias, discrimination, religious/cultural bias, linguistic bias, and favoritism—using a 30-item survey administered to 61 teachers across 30 semi-rural schools. The research adopts a quantitative, empirical design to analyse patterns of bias and identify the most dominant forms present in school environments. Findings reveal that linguistic bias (32.4%) and gender bias (32.08%) emerge as the most prevalent, highlighting structural and cultural influences within institutional settings. Recommendations focus on fostering inclusivity through language sensitivity, equitable classroom practices, and measures to prevent biased behaviors. The study emphasizes the necessity for educators to consciously reflect on and address their implicit attitudes to create supportive learning environments for all students.

Abstract: This paper examines the transformation of love from sensual passion to spiritual union in Abhijnanasakuntalam by Kalidasa. Drawing upon the framework of classical Sanskrit aesthetics, particularly the theory of śṛṅgāra rasa as articulated in the Natyashastra, the study traces the progression of Dushyanta and Shakuntala’s relationship through stages of union (saṃbhoga), separation (vipralambha), suffering, and recognition. Initially grounded in physical attraction and emotional immediacy, their love is tested by the curse of forgetfulness, which symbolizes the fragility of passion dependent on memory and presence. Through separation and repentance, sensual desire matures into steadfast devotion and spiritual awareness. The analysis further highlights the psychological evolution of the protagonists and the symbolic function of nature in reinforcing thematic ascent. Ultimately, the play elevates romantic love into a metaphor for ethical growth and metaphysical realization.

Abstract: Kidney stones are solid crystals formed from urine salts. It is also known as renal calculi. It can obstruct urine flow and cause infection, kidney damage, or even kidney failure, and varies in size and location. Human beings have been affected by kidney stones for centuries, which is a silent cause of renal failure. Mental health problems are more common in patients with kidney stones. For example, depression is three– four times more likely in people living with kidney stones. Patients with kidney stones are much more likely to experience mental health issues. However, this has rarely been addressed by mental health services. Thus, it is time for this to change. People with kidney stone illnesses need to take care of their mental health. Good mental health is vital for people with kidney stones. For some people with kidney stone disease, poor mental health may have been a part of their life before they became unwell which are dealt in this paper.

Abstract: This study examines the patterns of digital engagement and their implications for adolescent development, focusing on social media use among higher secondary level students in West Bengal. With the rapid expansion of digital technologies, social media has become a central space for communication, identity formation, and learning among adolescents. The study explores the frequency and purpose of social media use, preferred platforms, and the nature of online interactions, while also assessing their impact on academic performance, social relationships, psychological well-being, and value orientation. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines survey data with qualitative insights, the research highlights both the opportunities and challenges associated with digital engagement. Findings indicate that while social media enhances connectivity, access to information, and self-expression, excessive and unregulated use may contribute to distractions in studies, emotional stress, and reduced face-to-face interactions. The study underscores the need for digital literacy, parental guidance, and institutional interventions to promote responsible and balanced social media use among adolescents.

Abstract: The study examines Subhas Chandra Bose’s concept of radical nationalism as a significant and alternative ideological framework within the Indian freedom struggle and its continuing relevance in modern India. Bose’s nationalism was characterized by uncompromising anti-colonialism, emphasis on strong and centralized leadership, acceptance of revolutionary and armed resistance, and commitment to social and economic reconstruction through state intervention. The paper analyzes the ideological foundations of Bose’s thought, particularly his views on sovereignty, leadership, national unity, and development, and situates them within the broader discourse of political science. It further explores how Bose’s radical nationalism has influenced constitutional ideas, governance practices, and contemporary political debates in post-independence India. By highlighting Bose’s contribution beyond military and revolutionary actions, the study underscores the plurality of nationalist ideologies in India and emphasizes the relevance of radical nationalism in understanding present-day political thought and state power.

Abstract: This study mainly discusses all the major challenges that India faces in establishing the status of the world’s strongest-largest democracy in the current century. Equality and freedom are essential elements of any democracy. The Constitution of India recognizes and protects the right to personal liberty as the cornerstone of a democratic edifice. That carefully cherished Indian democratic freedom has waned today. At the same time, in very recently the electoral majority has become extremely dominant factor in Indian democracy. It is a much more exploratory study from a critical point of view. This study has been completed using descriptive analysis method with purely qualitative study. The present researcher has collected primary and secondary information through books, journals, internet, websites, reports of various think tank institutes and other relevant sources. Major findings of this study are that various studies (V-Dem Institute 2020 reports) have shown that in the last few years, the ultimate electoral majority in India’s democracy has turned into an ‘Electoral Autocracy’. In India, the situation has changed since the Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, won two consecutive general elections in May 2019, and Hindutva has taken over society and politics with the rise of nationalists. With the continuous rise of ‘Hindu Nationalism’ in the country, society and politics have been taken over by Ulta Hindu nationalists. Freedom of expression has been curtailed there as well as the freedom of the media and civil society is far from over. Recently, the central government used the UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. 2019 as a tool to harass, intimidate and imprison politicalopponents, as well as to silence dissident academics using the UAPA Act. In the 21st century, in the wake of the above-mentioned dramatic changes events, India has faced great challenges in shrinking freedom of expression and declining democracy.

Abstract: This research paper presents a comparative analysis of women’s political participation in West Bengal during two distinct political eras: the Left Front regime (1977–2011) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) administration (2011–present). Historically, the Left Front laid the foundation for women’s mobilization through its cadre-based organizational structure and the implementation of 33% reservation in Panchayats in 1993. However, women’s roles remained largely confined to party discipline and grassroots activism, with limited representation in top-tier decision-making bodies. In contrast, the TMC era, led by Mamata Banerjee, shifted the paradigm toward a ‘charismatic and beneficiary-oriented’ model. By increasing Panchayat reservation to 50% and launching direct-benefit schemes like Lakshmir Bhandar and Kanyashree, the TMC has successfully cultivated a distinct ‘women’s vote bank.’ This period is marked by higher visibility of women in parliamentary politics and greater financial agency. Despite these advancements, both regimes face persistent challenges such as ‘proxy politics’, gendered political violence, and the ‘glass ceiling’ within party hierarchies. The study concludes that while the Left Front provided the structural base for political socialization, the TMC transformed women into a decisive and independent political force in West Bengal.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of digital technologies has resulted in unprecedented growth in data generation across scientific, industrial, and social domains. Traditional analytical techniques, often dependent on deterministic and precise mathematical formulations, struggle to handle uncertainty, incompleteness, and nonlinear relationships inherent in real-world datasets. Soft computing, a paradigm introduced to emulate human-like reasoning and adaptive learning, provides flexible and efficient approaches for complex data analysis. This research article examines the application of soft computing methods—including fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, swarm intelligence, and probabilistic reasoning—in enhancing data analysis efficiency. The study explores conceptual foundations, methodological frameworks, domain applications, hybrid models, challenges, and future research directions. The findings suggest that soft computing significantly improves predictive accuracy, adaptability, and robustness in data-driven environments, thereby playing a transformative role in modern Artificial Intelligence systems.

Abstract: Old age is a significant stage of the human life span marked by biological, psychological, and social changes. While advances in healthcare have increased life expectancy, many older adults experience difficulties in adjusting socially. Social adjustment problems in old age arise due to factors such as retirement, declining health, loss of social roles, changing family structures, and reduced social interaction. These challenges often lead to loneliness, social isolation, low self-esteem, and mental health issues. The present study examines social adjustment problems among elderly persons in rural Purba Medinipur district, with special reference to gender and living arrangement. Using the Social Adjustment Scale for the Aged (SASA), data were collected from 120 elderly individuals. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in social adjustment problems based on gender and living arrangement. Female elderly and those living alone reported higher adjustment problems. The findings highlight the need for supportive family environments and social interventions to promote healthy ageing.

Abstract: Student enrolment trends play a crucial role in determining the institutional viability of private B.Ed. colleges in West Bengal. Over the past few years, many private teacher education institutions have experienced noticeable changes in student admissions, which directly affect their academic functioning, financial stability, and long-term sustainability. This study aims to examine the patterns of student enrolment in private B.Ed. colleges and analyze how these trends influence their institutional viability. The study follows a qualitative approach based on secondary data sources such as government reports, admission statistics, policy documents, accreditation records, and existing research studies on teacher education. The analysis shows that declining student enrolment has emerged as a major challenge for many private B.Ed. colleges in West Bengal. Factors such as reduced demand for B.Ed. programmes, limited employment opportunities for trained teachers, strict admission norms, and increased competition among institutions have contributed to this decline. Policy changes related to eligibility criteria, intake capacity, and entrance examinations have also influenced enrolment patterns. As a result, several colleges face difficulties in maintaining optimal student strength each academic year. The study further reveals that lower enrolment directly affects institutional viability. Since most private B.Ed. colleges depend largely on student fees; reduced admissions lead to financial stress, difficulty in maintaining infrastructure, and challenges in retaining qualified faculty. Some institutions struggle to meet regulatory and accreditation requirements due to limited resources. Rural and newly established colleges are found to be more vulnerable compared to well-established urban institutions. The study concludes that improving enrolment trends is essential for ensuring the viability of private B.Ed. colleges in West Bengal. Better alignment of teacher education programmes with employment needs, supportive policy measures, academic quality enhancement, and career guidance for students can help institutions remain sustainable and continue contributing to teacher education in the state.

Abstract : This article critically evaluates the relevance of John Rawls’s theory of justice in addressing social inequality and educational inequity in contemporary India. Drawing upon Rawls’s principles of equal basic liberties and the difference principle, the study explores how justice as fairness can inform debates on distributive justice within educational institutions. India’s deeply stratified social structure—marked by caste, class, gender, and regional disparities—continues to shape unequal access to quality education and life opportunities. By juxtaposing Rawlsian normative ideals with empirical realities in Indian educational policy, including affirmative action and public welfare initiatives, the article identifies both the strengths and limitations of applying Rawls’s framework in a complex, plural society. While Rawlsian justice provides a strong ethical justification for redistributive reforms and prioritizing the least advantaged, it requires contextual adaptation to address historically entrenched structural inequalities. The article concludes by suggesting integrative policy and theoretical approaches to advance substantive educational equity in India.

Abstract: This study foregrounds the remarkable significance of the rhetorical analysis and stylistic dissection, especially the phono-stylistic devices incorporated in the literary writing in the enhancement of the comprehension of a text, focusing on Alexander Pope’s heroical-satirical work The Rape of the Lock (Canto I and II) as the primary text. The paper focused much on the intersection of the rhetoric and stylistic studies for better the understanding of literary texts. Phono-stylistics, as a branch of the linguistics deals with the study of the expressive potency of the sound devices, is used to evaluate how Pope’s deployment of numerous phonological devices like alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, euphony, cacophony and metrical variations supplement to the expression of ironic and the satirical tone of the epic poem. Through the textual analysis of selected lines, the study highlights how the poet’s incorporation of phonological patterns established the poem’s rhetorical elegance which deepens the thematic critique of the eighteenthcentury aristocratic London society with their vanity and superficial frivolity. Shedding light on the classical rhetorical theory with modern stylistic approaches, this work exposes that Alexander Pope’s employment of language in his poetry is not just the ornamental but it is more functionally rhetorical, every sound pattern has the special purpose like reinforcing the satire, amplifying the parody, and enhancing to the aesthetic value of it. The close textual analysis in the paper reveals that rhetorical and other phono-stylistic features are very vital in shaping both the meaning and the reader response, to affirm the central thesis that the rhetoric and stylistic are indispensable tools for the critical appreciation of a literary piece and its artistry. The research findings withhold that the stylistic analysis and rhetorical exploration persuaded readers’ engagement with literary texts to explore intricate layers of meaning, embedded in numerous linguistic forms. The study also presents the pragmatic significance of phonological studies in stylistic criticism and its vital role in the enrichment of literary comprehension.

Abstract:Revolutions have long served as catalysts for profound political, social, and economic transformation. They mark moments in history when existing political structures, often characterized by inequality, oppression, or inefficiency, are challenged and replaced with new systems of governance. This study explores the multifaceted role of revolutions in shaping political systems across the globe. Drawing on historical case studies including the American, French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions, the research examines the causes, dynamics, and consequences of revolutionary movements. The paper highlights how revolutions have not only overthrown entrenched regimes but also fostered ideological shifts, institutional reforms, and societal reorganization. Methodologically, the study employs a descriptive and analytical approach based on secondary sources such as historical records, scholarly analyses, and political theory. Findings indicate that revolutions function as mechanisms for political innovation and adaptation, often giving rise to modern governance structures, constitutional reforms, and new social contracts. While revolutions can lead to instability and conflict, they also create opportunities for democratization, legal codification, and institutional modernization. Understanding the dynamics of revolutions provides insights into the evolution of political systems and the enduring quest for justice, representation, and human rights.

Abstract: The rapid transformation of global economies into knowledge-based systems has significantly altered the nature of work, skills, and education. Traditional vocational education, which primarily focused on manual and technical skills, is no longer sufficient to meet the demands of the modern knowledge economy. The contemporary labour market requires a combination of technical expertise, digital literacy, problem-solving abilities, and innovative thinking. This study explores the need to reimagine vocational education in order to align it with the evolving requirements of the knowledge-driven world. The paper examines the changing dynamics of work, the importance of integrating vocational and academic learning, and the role of technology in transforming skill-based education. It also discusses policy initiatives, including the emphasis on vocational education in educational reforms, and highlights strategies for strengthening vocational training systems. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach based on secondary sources such as research articles, policy documents, and educational reports. The findings suggest that vocational education must move beyond its traditional perception as an alternative pathway and should be recognized as an integral component of mainstream education. Strengthening industry–institution collaboration, promoting lifelong learning, and integrating digital technologies are essential for preparing individuals to thrive in the knowledge economy.

নাটকের প্রতীকধর্মী নাম—’পথ’ ও ‘প্রান্ত’—ইতিহাসের গতি ও এক যুগসন্ধিক্ষণের সীমারেখাকে নির্দেশ করে। সংলাপনির্ভর নাট্যরীতি, সংযত ভাষাশৈলী এবং মনস্তাত্ত্বিক বিশ্লেষণের মাধ্যমে ব্যক্তিগত সংকটকে বৃহত্তর রাজনৈতিক বাস্তবতার সঙ্গে যুক্ত করা হয়েছে। স্বাধীনতা-উত্তর হতাশা, নৈতিক অবক্ষয় এবং পরিবর্তনশীল মূল্যবোধ চরিত্রগুলির অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্য দিয়ে জীবন্ত হয়ে উঠেছে। ফলে নাটকটি কেবল একটি পারিবারিক কাহিনি নয়; বরং এটি সমাজ-রাজনীতির গভীর অন্তর্দ্বন্দ্বের নন্দনরূপ। সামগ্রিকভাবে, “পথের প্রান্তে” একটি যুগান্তরের মানসিক ও সামাজিক রূপান্তরের শিল্পিত দলিল হিসেবে বাংলা নাট্যসাহিত্যে বিশেষ তাৎপর্য বহন করে।

Keywords(মূল শব্দ): মধ্যবিত্ত সংকট; স্বাধীনতা-উত্তর হতাশা; সমাজ-রাজনীতি; প্রজন্মগত দ্বন্দ্ব; প্রতীকধর্মিতা।

Abstract(সারসংক্ষেপ): এই গবেষণায় উত্তর চব্বিশ পরগনা জেলার আদিবাসীদের অর্থনৈতিক জীবনযাত্রার পরিবর্তনের ধারা ও কারণ বিশ্লেষণ করা হয়েছে। অতীতে এই জেলার আদিবাসীরা মূলত শিকার, কৃষিকাজ, বনজ সম্পদ আরোহন, মাছ ধরা ও হস্তশিল্প নির্ভর জীবিকা নির্বাহ করতেন কিন্তু বর্তমানে নগরায়ন, শিল্পায়ন, শিক্ষার প্রসার, সরকারি উন্নয়নমূলক প্রকল্প এবং আধুনিক যোগাযোগ ব্যবস্থার বিকাশের ফলে তাদের জীবনযাত্রায় এক মৌলিক রূপান্তর ঘটেছে। বর্তমানে অধিকাংশ আদিবাসী পরিবার আংশিকভাবে কৃষি নির্ভর হলেও অনেকে মজুর রাজমিস্ত্রি, পরিযায়ী শ্রমিক ও কোন কোন ক্ষেত্রে সরকারি কর্মচারী হিসেবে কাজ করছেন। এই পরিবর্তনের ফলে একদিকে অর্থনৈতিক স্বনির্ভরতা ও সামাজিক সচেতনতা বৃদ্ধি পেলেও অন্যদিকে প্রথাগত সংস্কৃতি ও সম্প্রদায়গত ঐক্যের অবক্ষয় লক্ষ্য করা যাচ্ছে। আমার গবেষণার মূল লক্ষ্য হলো এই অর্থনৈতিক পরিবর্তনের ইতিবাচক ও নেতিবাচক দিক নির্ণয় করে ভবিষ্যতের টেকসই উন্নয়নের দিক নির্দেশ প্রদান করা।

Abstract(সারসংক্ষেপ): বাংলা কথাসাহিত্যে যৌন সংখ্যালঘু মানুষের কথা নানাভাবে উঠে এসেছে। পুরুষ সমকামী, নারী সমকামী, পুরুষালী নারী অথবা নারীসুলভ পুরুষ, রূপান্তকামী নারী ও রূপান্তকামী পুরুষ ইত্যাদি সূক্ষ্ম যৌনতার স্তরগুলি চরিত্রের আধারে বাংলা কথাসাহিত্যে নানাভাবে পরিবেশিত হয়েছে। এই আখ্যানগুলির মূল উদ্দেশ্য ছিল বিষমকামী শিশ্ন-যোনি সম্পর্ক নির্মিত সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠের সমাজকাঠামোয় যৌন সংখ্যালঘু সম্প্রদায়ের মানুষের আত্মপরিচয়গত দ্বন্দ্ব ও সংকট তুলে ধরা। হিজড়ে সম্প্রদায়কে আমরা সাহিত্য ও বাস্তবতা উভয়ক্ষেত্রে পর্যবেক্ষণ করে বুঝেছি অন্যান্য রূপান্তরকামী মানুষদের তুলনায় হিজড়ে সমাজের মানুষদের আত্মপ্রতিষ্ঠার লড়াইয়ে একরকম দুঃসাহসিকতা আছে। এই দুঃসাহসিক চরিত্র বৈশিষ্ট্য হিজড়ে সমাজের নিজস্ব মৌলিক সমাজব্যবস্থা ও জীবনযাপন থেকে প্রাপ্ত। পুরুষ হয়ে জন্মগ্রহণ করেছে, কিন্তু তথাকথিত মূলস্রোতের সমাজকে তোয়াক্কা না করে নারীসত্তাকে প্রকাশ্যে এনে এরা বেশি করে দৃশ্যমান হয়েছে। বিষমকামীর চোখে তথাকথিত রুচিহীন সংস্কৃতিহীন মানুষগুলি যেভাবে মানুষের আদিম জৈব প্রবৃত্তিকে উলঙ্গ করেছে তাতে ভদ্রলোক সমাজের চক্ষুশূল হবে বই কি! এত দৃশ্যমান হওয়ার শাস্তিস্বরূপ সংস্কৃতিবান ভদ্রলোক সমাজ ‘হিজড়ে’ শব্দটিকেই আলাদা করে গালাগাল হিসেবে ব্যবহার করেছে। সমাজ সংস্কৃতি ও কথাসাহিত্যের জগতের অনেক স্থানেই মেয়েলি আচরণ করা পুরুষকে ‘হিজড়ে’ সম্বোধন করে গালিগালাজ করার দৃষ্টান্ত আছে। যদিও সম্পূর্ণ হিজড়ে সমাজ নিয়ে রচিত কবিতা, উপন্যাস কিংবা নাটকের সংখ্যা নিতান্তই কম। না-পুরুষ না-নারীর রহস্যময়তা দেখাতে গিয়ে বেশিরভাগ ক্ষেত্রেই ঔপন্যাসিকরা হিজড়েদের জন্মগত পরিচয়ের দিকটি নিয়ে পাঠককে বিভ্রান্ত করেছেন। সাধারণের ধোঁয়াশাচ্ছন্ন ধারণার বশবর্তী হয়ে কোনো ঔপন্যাসিক হিজড়েদের ‘উভলিঙ্গ’ করে তুলে ধরেছেন। বাংলায় হিজড়ে বিষয়ক প্রথম সার্থক আত্মজীবনীমূলক উপন্যাস রচনা করেন মানবী বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়। বর্তমান আলোচনায় আমরা কোনো উপন্যাসের আখ্যান নয়, সরাসরি একজন ‘হিজড়ে’ পরিচয় নিয়ে বেঁচে থাকা মানুষের বয়ানে তাঁর আত্মজীবনীর পূঙ্খানুপুঙ্খ পর্যালোচনা করতে চেয়েছি, তা হল তামিল ভাষায় লেখা A. Revathi-র Unarvum Uruvamum, এই গ্রন্থের ইংরেজি অনুবাদ ২০১০ সালে প্রকাশ করেন V. Geetha, যার নাম The Truth About Me – A Hijra Life Story। এই গ্রন্থের মধ্যে দিয়ে হিজড়ে সম্প্রদায়ের যৌনতা, মৌলিক সমাজ ব্যবস্থা, অর্থনৈতিক অবস্থান, রীতি-নীতি, আচার অনুষ্ঠান, মৌলিক দেব-দেবীসহ একটি সার্বিক ধারণা পেতে পারি, যা হিজড়েদের জীবন ও সমাজ পর্যালোচনার ক্ষেত্রে অত্যধিক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।

Abstract(সারসংক্ষেপ): একবিংশ শতাব্দীর শিক্ষা ব্যবস্থা দ্রুত প্রযুক্তিনির্ভর, দক্ষতাভিত্তিক ও বৈশ্বিক চাহিদানির্ভর হয়ে উঠেছে। এই পরিবর্তনের ফলে মানবিক শিক্ষা, নৈতিক চেতনা ও সাংস্কৃতিক মূল্যবোধ ক্রমশ প্রান্তিক হয়ে পড়ছে। বর্তমান গবেষণাটি একবিংশ শতাব্দীর শিক্ষার প্রেক্ষাপটে সংস্কৃত শিক্ষার প্রাসঙ্গিকতা বিশ্লেষণের একটি তাত্ত্বিক ও বিশ্লেষণধর্মী প্রয়াস। গবেষণায় সংস্কৃত শিক্ষার জ্ঞানতাত্ত্বিক গুরুত্ব, মূল্যবোধ ও নৈতিক শিক্ষা বিকাশে ভূমিকা এবং Indian Knowledge System (IKS)-এর সংরক্ষণ ও আধুনিক শিক্ষায় একীভূতকরণে এর অবদান বিশদভাবে আলোচিত হয়েছে।গবেষণায় দেখা যায় যে পানিনীয় ব্যাকরণভিত্তিক সংস্কৃত শিক্ষা শিক্ষার্থীদের বিশ্লেষণী চিন্তন, meta-cognitive দক্ষতা ও যুক্তিনিষ্ঠ মানসিকতা বিকাশে সহায়ক। একই সঙ্গে গীতা, উপনিষদ ও অন্যান্য শাস্ত্রভিত্তিক পাঠ একবিংশ শতাব্দীর নৈতিক সংকট মোকাবিলায় কার্যকর মূল্যবোধ ও চরিত্রগঠনের ভিত্তি প্রদান করে। Indian Knowledge System-এর দর্শন, যোগ, আয়ুর্বেদ ও বিজ্ঞানচিন্তার সঙ্গে সংস্কৃত শিক্ষার অবিচ্ছেদ্য সম্পর্ক আধুনিক শিক্ষায় holistic ও value-based education প্রতিষ্ঠায় সহায়ক ভূমিকা পালন করে। জাতীয় শিক্ষানীতি ২০২০ সংস্কৃত ও Indian Knowledge System-কে শিক্ষার মূল ধারায় অন্তর্ভুক্ত করার মাধ্যমে সংস্কৃত শিক্ষার প্রাসঙ্গিকতাকে নীতিগত স্বীকৃতি প্রদান করেছে। সংস্কৃত শিক্ষা একবিংশ শতাব্দীর শিক্ষাব্যবস্থায় আধুনিকতা ও ঐতিহ্যের মধ্যে একটি কার্যকর সেতুবন্ধন রচনা করে এবং শিক্ষার্থীদের নৈতিক, বৌদ্ধিক ও সাংস্কৃতিকভাবে সমৃদ্ধ নাগরিক হিসেবে গড়ে তুলতে সক্ষম।
