Corporate Social Responsibility (hereinafter “CSR”) had emerged as a means to hold companies and organisations accountable for the impact of their actions and operations on society. The idea behind CSR is that Business Organisations generate profits by utilising the community and environmental resources by way of labour and raw material, and so must return at least some part to society by way of quality products, employment generation, and so on. CSR has come a long way from being merely a concept of philanthropy to a mandatory law in India. The paper is an analysis of whether the CSR law has been able to serve the purpose for which it was enacted. It seeks to look into whether or not CSR should have been made mandatory at all. This paper questions the need for a CSR law in India or if it instead works as a mechanism agenda for the government to shift its responsibilities (towards the community) to the corporate sector.

Although the perceptions of Kashmiris and Indians toward one another have not been particularly pleasant since before the implementation of Article 370, this paper demonstrates how, following its abolition, it has become nearly impossible for a person to be both Kashmiri and Indian at the same time, with the two identities standing in contrast with each other. While the abrogation may be the catalyst for the process, there is a long history stretching all the way back to the Dogra era that has culminated in the predicament before us. This article, while analysing the issue through the colonial and settlercolonial lens to analyse the antithetical identities, also demonstrates how the autonomy of Kashmir and privileges of Kashmiris have been eroded.

Sex education, despite the everlasting force of modernisation in other regards, has remained a contentious issue, especially in India. This short note attempts to briefly explore the history of sexuality and how societal perspectives and expectations have evolved with time. The importance of sex education and sensitisation cannot go ignored for much longer. This paper makes reference to the recommendations of prominent international organisations and makes recommendations of its own, all with the objective of limiting stigma and precipitating sexual/reproductive welfare.

The Accidental Death of an Anarchist (1970) is one of famed Italian play-wright Dario Fo, written as a response the neo-fascist tension that reached a boiling point in during the ‘Hot Autumn.’ A period of immense turmoil in late 20th -cemtury Italy. The play draws from the conventions of the Brechtian form and commedia dell’arte, aptly transforming them into mechanisms that can help both the play and spectators subvert the high cultures of Gramscian cultural hegemony, absorbed into ADA’s comic microcosm. This essay explores how political and theatrical realms are immortalised and then pit against each other through the course of the play, with the character of the Maniac acting as a rhetorical device acting as the connection between the two. In essence, this paper believes that Style is considered over substance in many of the styles of theatre Accidental Death operates within; the stylistic elements that quantitatively constitute the Brechtian form, commedia dell’arte, and farce allow them to subvert the ‘high cultures’ that are held culpable in Gramscian cultural hegemony, all of which ADA absorbs into its comic microcosm. This leads to a sustained paradox between the political and theatrical dimensions of the play, where the theatrical lends credence to the political though the use of fictional formal elements.

Like many of the literary works produced in the late 19th to mid-20th century, Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of the Four reflects the colonial project in a myriad of ways. Written a mere few decades after the 1857 Rebellion, and with a decidedly orientalist perspective, the work inculcates a specific breed of colonial anxiety prominent in the instability of Britain in the late 19th century. More specifically, this paper claims that the entry of Tonga and the Agra Treasure into London are events that precipitate British imperial anxiety within the narrative, and their respective arcs in the story – Tonga’s death and the loss of the treasure – are allegories for the ultimately unachievable desire to purge the colonial from the empire’s home bounds. This paper goes on to explore the imperial edifices and constructions developed within The Sign of the Four.
