Abstract: The study was basically a qualitative one designed to underscore the prospects and challenges of new states in world politics. It theorized the new states in terms of age and development and came to the conclusion that new states in terms of development face stiffer challenges in the contemporary new world order especially as a result of low level of technological development and prevailing maladministration. The study revealed that globalization in world political order does not serve the interest of developing and underdeveloped countries. It is a modern colonization mechanism to perpetuate underdevelopment of these countries. The work therefore suggested that advanced countries that are technologically developed should assist the new states in reducing the world poverty rate which is a serious global security threat. It also recommended that the political leadership in the new states should work hard to ensure drastic reduction of bad governance and by extension corruption.

Abstract: Food Security is undoubtedly a major concern and recently got topmost priority to the government. Over the various plan periods, our country has been working towards increasing agricultural production on one hand and developing an efficient mechanism for reaching food to every poor person in the most inaccessible conditions, on the other. The concept of Food Security implies that, all people at all times have both physical and economic access to the basic food they need (FAO, 1983). The study area selected for the present study is the interfluves of Ajay-Mayurakshi River, parts of Birbhum district in West Bengal. Geographically, interfluve of Ajay-Mayurakshi River is a part of ancient "Rarh Bhumi" of Bengal, having favourable agro-environmental condition. The proposed interfluve region is mainly rain fed and intensified by mono-cropped cultivation system, still suffers by inter-regional disparity in agricultural development. Though, the region has also a range of promising prospect in agriculture for the development of the proposed area. Growing population pressure has raised a considerable demand for adequate and quality supply of food. The present paper attempts to analyse the trends in population and its growth in the study area. It also discusses the pattern of nutritional density and food availability status during the last three census years. The major objective of the present study is to examine the trends in population growth and spatial distribution of the study area and to analyse the trends and spatial variations in nutritional density and identification of food surplus and deficit blocks within the study area. For this specific study modern methodology and techniques of interpretation will be taken into account for final inferences of the study. Keywords: Population Growth, Nutritional Density, Food Security, Food Availability, Agricultural Productivity.

This leads a huge competition among the people and people started using newer technologies in every area so that one will always dominate others. The criminal justice system is no more different from other systems and it has also affected from new technological advancements. The deception detection test is one of the technologies which utilizes as a tool in the extraction of truth in the investigation process. It includes Narco analysis, Lie detector and brain mapping. As in present complex society numbers of new criminal activities have grown up and criminals have started using new techniques for hiding and committing crime making it very difficult for investigating agencies to solve these complex cases with traditional methods. One of the consequences is that there is great demand of new technologies in the criminal justice system. Even various experts and committees have also recommended for the use of these technologies. These technologies are not only important for investigating the crimes but also helpful in the tracking out the future criminal activities going to commit by the criminals in the society. Though there is a demand for the use of these techniques but at the same time it raises legal, ethical and some medical issues regarding use and implication of these techniques.

Abstract: Ingroup bias is a common feature of many intergroup relations and is believed to be one of the sources of prejudice and intergroup conflicts. The Naga society is one that is comprised of many tribes. The study examined ingroup bias amongst four Naga tribes using scores on a Social Distance (SD) scale. The sample comprised of 240 respondents from four major tribes of Nagaland- Angami, Ao, Konyak and Lotha. There were 80 respondents (40 males and 40 females) within the age group 18 and 40 in each of the four respondent groups.. Ingroup and outgroup SD scores of each respondent group were compared using t-test. Results show ingroup bias in all four respondent groups. Ingroup bias was observed in both male and female respondents of all four groups except for male Lotha respondents who showed bias in favour of some outgroups.
