Abstract: This review explores the interrelationship between emotional health and meditation from the perspective of Indian philosophical and spiritual traditions. Drawing upon the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, and Ayurveda, the study highlights how emotional stability is viewed not merely as a psychological state but as an integral dimension of holistic well-being (swasthya). Ancient Indian literature emphasizes that disturbances of the mind and emotions are rooted in imbalance of the gunas and disconnection from the Self, while meditation (dhyāna) is prescribed as the supreme method for restoring equanimity and inner harmony. The Panchakosha....

Abstract: Truthful information is essential for effective collective decision-making, yet its provision is often fragile when individuals behave strategically. This paper studies environments in which truth operates as a public good: while its benefits accrue broadly across society, the effort, risk, and cost of providing or verifying truthful information are borne privately. Focusing on social networks where verification mechanisms exist but are costly to use, the paper asks.....

Abstract: Prologue Immigration has become an enduring feature of many societies in the world. Recent studies on immigration highlight a complex, rapidly evolving landscape driven by economic necessity, safety concerns and geopolitical factors. Consequently, the literature is emerging on anti-immigration sentiments since the past two decades or so. It is based on large-scale, multi-country studies to understand where and why such sentiment is more pronounced. Opposition to such immigration has also become an important issue all over the world. Consequently, the Anti-Immigration Sentiments are rising globally. Significant volume of research has been conducted to explore increased immigration.....
