Abstract: Spivak’s definition of subaltern most suitably resonates with the life experience of Dalit Christians. They are so sidelined that they are without any access to the lines of upward social mobility. Fate has made them Christians converts. Though it was a springboard for social mobility initially, it turns out to be a harrowing choice. Though the Church has taken some decisive initiatives the subaltern condition of the Dalit Christians have not improved much. They are battling poverty, debt and social stigma. The negative attitudes towards the cause of subaltern Christian.....

Abstract: Witnessing is necessary for the growth of the Kingdom of God. It is therefore important to understand the term and the concept of witnessing. The witness terminology is best understood from a missiological perspective since witness is directly related to mission studies. The concepts of missio Dei, Kingdom of God and Church which are foundational concepts of missiology therefore form an important basis for a clear understanding of the.....

Abstract: The enduring allure of popular cinema in India lies in its ability to fuse two seemingly divergent archetypes, the charismatic “star” and the morally weighted “hero,” into a single figure that entertains while embodying collective ideals. This paper traces how that fusion emerged, explaining how screen personas migrate beyond narrative frames to become devotional icons, folklore avatars, and everyday companions for millions. Moving from early mythological adaptations and mythologicals to the sculpted physiques and sentimental romances of the contemporary.....

Abstract:This study evaluates the impact of an educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) related to menstrual health and hygiene among adolescent girls in Lucknow, India. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 300 participants divided into treatment and control groups. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and chi-square tests, demonstrated significant improvements in the knowledge, attitude, and some practices in the treatment group post-intervention. The study underscores the importance of structured, sustained educational efforts in improving menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls.

Abstract:SUMMARY: This article aims to critically examine public policies to encourage the automotive industry in Brazil, focusing on the failures and limitations of historical programs, such as Inovar-Auto and the Automotive Policies for Regional Development (PADR), and the challenges of Rota 2030. It analyzes how dependence on the domestic market, protectionism, low technological innovation, tax complexity and lack of integration into global value chains have contributed to the sector’s lag and low competitiveness, despite the large public resources invested. It suggests that incentive programs for the Brazilian automotive industry have been marked by recurring structural and design flaws. Excessive......
