 Abstract

In today's dynamic and digitally-driven work environments, effective workforce management is critical to organizational success. Traditional systems often face challenges such as data tampering, lack of transparency, delayed processes, and vulnerability to fraud. A blockchain-based workforce management and tracking system addresses these challenges by leveraging the core principles of blockchain technology--decentralization, immutability, and transparency. This system integrates key human resource functions such as employee tracking, attendance monitoring, payroll processing, and task management into a secure, tamper-proof digital platform. Smart contracts are employed to automate routine processes, such as salary disbursement upon task completion or attendance verification, significantly reducing administrative overhead and minimizing human errors. The decentralized nature of the blockchain ensures that data cannot be altered retroactively, enhancing trust among all stakeholders. Employers gain real-time visibility into workforce activities and performance, while employees benefit from transparent and verifiable records of work, attendance, and compensation. This fosters a more accountable and productive work culture. Moreover, the system improves operational efficiency by reducing the need for intermediaries, enabling faster decision-making, and supporting compliance with labor regulations through immutable record-keeping. It is particularly beneficial for industries with large, distributed, or mobile workforces, where traditional HR systems struggle to maintain consistent and secure data management.

 Abstract

This research paper is an analysis of the impact of globalization on the indigenous identity of the ethnic Tharu belonging to the Lakhimpur Kheri district in Uttar Pradesh, India. The Tharu community is rich in cultural heritage, traditional knowledge systems of living, and sustainable livelihood. Under the global economic, social, and cultural currents, this community is undergoing radical changes-it seems as if it were being swept away by a tide. The ethnographic observation, secondary literature review, and comparative analysis have been used to examine the ways globalization factors such as migration, exposure to digital media, education, urbanization, and economic restructuring affect traditional practices, social structures, and self-perceptions within the tribe. The paper thus examines the globalizing process as a doubled-edged sword. Signaling an eclipse of identity through the loss of languages, rituals, and trade-based livelihoods, globalization has also opened new windows for economic mobility, education, and cultural expression via digital platforms. Insights into adaptive strategies and resilience models that can be harnessed for the benefit of the Tharu community are provided by comparative perspectives from other indigenous communities in India (e.g., Gonds, Santhals) and global case studies (e.g., M?ori, Sami). At the close of the study, forward-looking recommendations for cultural conservation, sustainable development, policy reform, and digital empowerment are made. The paper argues, in part, for inclusive governance, bilingual education, and technology-led community engagement in promoting identity resilience under global changes. This approach stresses the importance of indigenous agency.

 Abstract

Euthanasia, also known as "mercy killing," has generated a lot of discussion worldwide, and India is not an exception to that. The intentional termination of a person's life to relieve their suffering from terminal or incurable diseases creates serious moral, ethical, and legal issues. Cultural values, belief systems, and the judiciary's dynamic role in interpreting the right to life and dignity have all shaped the legal position of euthanasia in India. Even though the Supreme Court recognised that passive euthanasia is permissible in some situations, there is still substantial controversy around the process of complete legalisation. On the one hand, some contend that letting people choose how they want to pass away is an act of kindness that grants them the freedom to carry out this with honour. On the other hand, opponents warn that legalizing euthanasia might open the door to future misuse and destroy the sanctity of life. This article examines the legal framework, moral dilemmas, and current discussion around the practice of euthanasia in India in order to shed light on the conflicting relationship legal, moral and ethical dilemmas around euthenasia.

 Abstract

Marriage is not just the union of two bodies, but the blending of two souls destined to walk together through time.Hindu marriage, once an indissoluble sacrament, now stands at the crossroads of tradition and modernity. Marriage, in its purest essence, is a profound union of two souls, deeply rooted in trust, companionship, and lifelong commitment. In Hindu philosophy, marriage transcended the idea of a mere contract, embodying the principles of Dharma and divine harmony. Guided by sacred scriptures, it was viewed as an enduring journey of patience, sacrifice, and unwavering trust, where the concept of divorce was almost alien. However, time, colonial influence, and societal reforms began to reshape this revered institution. The landmark Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 introduced legal recognition to divorce, alimony, and maintenance, offering relief from oppressive unions but simultaneously diluting the sacrosanct nature of the marital bond. Today, Hindu marriage navigates a challenging landscape where love is often overshadowed by legal battles, ego clashes, and shifting priorities. While globalisation and evolving gender roles empower individuals, they also strain traditional expectations. Social media further fuels infidelity and unrealistic ideals, leading to fragile alliances. The transformation from sacred vow to a dissolvable contract prompts critical reflection: have legal reforms advanced justice or weakened the essence of marital unity? This exploration seeks to understand the dynamic evolution of Hindu marriage and its relevance in contemporary society.
