Abstract: Voting is one of the most commonly used terms in contemporary age of democratic politics. The ever increasing popularity of democratic theory and practices has even made this term a household name. In democratic systems, and their number is quite large and ever increasing, each adult citizen uses 'voting' as a means for expressing his approval or disapproval of governmental decisions, policies and programmers of various political parties and the qualities of the candidates who are engaged in the struggle to get the status of being the representatives of the people. The study of determinants of electoral behaviour constitutes a very significant area of empirical investigation. Man is a rational creature in the philosophical sense of term; he is not so rational in the realms of his economic or political behaviour.

Abstract: Hand written books possess an important place in the research of Islamic sciences as they are a good record of past, they are a window to enter and glimpse into history. By referring to some hand written books many core issues related to Muslim Ummah can be resolved. This was well realized and anticipated by Orientalists when they started studying Islamic civilization and in that process they discovered so many crucial books from the hidden treasure of private and public libraries that many among those books are considered to be the basic reference books in various Islamic sciences. Today working on hand written books has become a separate science called Codicology.

Abstract: Alternative Rite of Passage (ARP) is an interventionist programme that was introduced in the 1990's in different communities that still practice female initiation rites of passage to adulthood as a viable alternative to the controversial female circumcision also known as FGM. ARP simulates the traditional rituals as closely as possible without the physical operation of the genitals. Despite massive awareness about the harmful effects of female circumcision on women's and girls' reproductive health, education and human rights violation, and the law prohibiting the practice being in place, to date girls still undergo female circumcision within the Keiyo community. This study examined the emergence, success and failures of Alternatives Rite of Passage in light of girls' education in Keiyo district. The study focused on the Keiyo people of Kenya, who have interacted with ARP since 2003. The study used a cross- sectional survey.
