This postmodern blurring of cultural lines has resulted in a universal humanity that can be accessed via a single body of knowledge. The epiphanic moment of confronting the other shifted the focus from Europe to the East, where scholars realized that the epistemic discourse of their own countries reflected the same a priori delimitation of knowledge. The Radhakrishnan Commission, for example, proposed in 1948 that the fields of natural science, social science, and the humanities should study different aspects of reality: facts, events, and values, respectively. In order to dismantle the epistemic dominance of western knowledge and eradicate the homogeneity of discourses, the time has come to highlight, as Bakhtin would have it, the importance of comparative dialogic in establishing cross-cultural dialogic. In a same vein, the Orientalist paradigm has to shift toward a focus on humanistic conversation between South and South and a reconfiguration of the Asian dilemma of singularities. To get a holistic comprehension of human beings, a paradigm shift and rethinking—what Derrida terms Transformed Humanities, New Humanities—is essential.

What is directly relevant to our topic is that both Navoi and Babur widely used the method of artistic comparison while describing their views on this matter through their own comments. This method allows the student to clearly perceive their purpose, to fully understand the possibilities of the art of contrast.

The modern narrative of Islam is one which differs from the pre-colonial narrative. The practice of Tasawwuf is a sacred one and not many people are aware of the actual core and values of it. However, its concepts of Tawheed, Ihsan, and Tahqiq have been present since pre-colonial South Asian Islam. This paper focuses on pre-modern South Asian Islamic traditions along with the influence of Tasawwuf during the Mughal era and their evolution with time by comparing them to global Islamic traditions while outlining some similarities as well by exploring the literary culture. This paper argues how Islam now is a rigid system but that had not always been the case and also rebuttals the claims of western historians.

Traditional vocabulary teaching focuses on the pronunciation, form, and meaning of words, without taking into account the context of vocabulary learning. This approach tends to make the learning process monotonous and results in low student interest and efficiency. On the other hand, contextualized teaching and learning enables students to grasp the spelling, meaning, usage, and collocation of vocabulary within specific contexts. In this study, contextualized vocabulary micro-lessons have been applied in College English teaching to examine their effectiveness in enhancing vocabulary learning. The findings reveal that, following a semester of vocabulary micro-lesson learning, there has been some improvement in students' average vocabulary scores, with a 22% increase in the proportion of high-scoring students. Furthermore, results from a questionnaire survey indicate that 84% of students believe that contextualized vocabulary micro-lessons not only enhance their interest in vocabulary learning, but also improve the overall effectiveness of vocabulary acquisition.

The 1947 partition of India has been synonymous with a saga of unspeakable violence and trauma. Mostly shrouded in silence among the communities on both sides of the border, the narratives nevertheless, found their way into the literary works of writers such as Sadat Hasan Manto, Amrita Pritam, Bhisham Sahni, etc. While most works in partition literature, portray women as being the primary victims caught in the communal strife, forced displacement, sexual abuse, and violence, in some at least, the focus is on children who suffered a similar if not a worse fate. Several of them were killed or ended up being separated from their parents and families, or else, were left struggling to survive without their guardians. The childhood lost forever; they were like leaves caught in a freak storm with almost no hope of survival. The present paper turns to a few partition stories to explore how their experiences are recorded and narrated. Even as the focus is on the children's predicament, the authors unwittingly end up telling their tales of horror and trauma. The paper attempts to trace the narratives as felt and suffered by the first generation of the young in India after freedom.

Being a teacher I have been coming across many classroom issues as real problems. Among them, I dealt with students’ less engagement in speaking activities aiming to identify the issues of students’ less engagement in speaking activities and to increase students’ participation actively in speaking activities. For that I conducted the interview with head teacher for getting permission and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with students where I found some issues such as mispronunciation of words, nervousness about making mistakes, weak English, lack of vocabulary, and weak sentence construction, hesitant of being wrong in their activities because of which they were unable to engage themselves in speaking activities. And classroom activities/intervention and observation were further used for data to be analysed. I used pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies, presentation and role play activities to increase their active participation in speaking activities. In this study, I found that pronunciation and vocabulary improvement strategies were just effective to develop pronunciation and word-meaning skills for speaking. While presentation and role play activities were found more meaningful for developing students’ speaking skills.
作为一名教师，我遇到过许多课堂问题。其中，我对学生较少参与口语活动进行了处理，旨在找出学生较少参与口语活动的问题，提高学生对口语活动的积极参与程度。为此，我通过与班主任的面谈获得许可，并与学生进行焦点小组讨论(Focus Group Discussion, FGD)，我发现学生们存在一些问题，如单词发音错误，对犯错感到紧张，英语水平较低，词汇量不足，句子结构较弱，在活动中害怕犯错而犹豫不决，从而无法参与到口语活动中。课堂活动/干预和观察进一步用于数据分析。我使用发音和词汇提升策略，演讲和角色扮演活动来增加他们对口语活动的积极参与。在这项研究中，我发现发音和词汇的提高策略对口语的发音和词义技能的培养很有效。而演讲和角色扮演活动对培养学生的口语能力更有意义。

Nabokov’s “Signs and Symbols” (1958) is a short story that baffled its readers when it was first published in The New Yorker in 1948 and continues to be an enigma to many readers. The compact style, lack of plot and backstories, and the enigmatic mental disorder of the protagonist largely constitute this enigma, and makes the short story a writerly text open to multiple interpretations. While it has been interpreted from diverse perspectives for the past seventy years, its engagement with the ‘politics of fear’ in Nazi Germany and Cold-War America has not been subjected to critical scrutiny. ‘Politics of fear’ is a theory developed by Wodak (2015) to conceptualize right-wing political discourses and strategies. This paper uses this theory as a critical perspective to analyze how the protagonist’s mental disorder, ‘referential mania,’ reflects the nationalist and divisive right-wing political strategies of German and American populists of World War II and the Cold War. It also compares this portrayal with the reflection of ‘politics of fear’ in “99 Red Balloons” (1985), a protest song produced by Nena in Cold-War Germany.

The paper examines the idea of gender complementarity as a solution for communal leadership, using the representative novel, The Last of the Strong Ones for elucidation The novel depicts the life of the imaginary Igbo community of Okperi's residents and their struggle for leadership and self-determination. The paper looks at how men and women collaborate in positions of leadership to keep the community's stability.The paper emphasizes the value of gender complementarity as it promotes inclusivity and equity by taking a feminist approach. The paper makes the case that female and male collaboration and advice are essential for communal leadership to succeed. The protagonists in the novel show how gender complementarity enables them to appreciate and recognize each other's contributions and skills, resulting in a more dynamic and inclusive leadership structure, as well as promoting gender parity in leadership roles and subverting gender stereotypes. Overall, by highlighting the beneficial effects of gender complementarity in collective leadership frameworks, the paper contributes to the conversation on gender and leadership.
