https://ijels.com/Open Access international Journal to publish research paperen-usAugust 12 This research aimed to examines the novella The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin of 1972 using the dualistic approach of Val Plumwood on the ecofeminist logic of domination and Freya Mathews on autopoietic ecological theory. It assumes that the story anticipates ecological psychosis as the symptomatic future of colonial exploitation and gives a model of arboreal kinship based on mutual ecological awareness. The hierarchy between the two dualisms as criticized by Plumwood explains an anthropocentric, colonial stance of Captain Davidson, the Terran logging agenda, and the autopoietic model by Mathews offers a strict ontology concerning the relationship between Athsheans and their forest settings. Through a contrast between these views, the article shows how Le Guin dramatizes the dialectic between extractive domination and ecological reciprocity. This article will serve as a contribution to the current academic discussions on ecocriticism and speculative fiction in relation to environmental ethics, cultural survival, and the future of eco-relational futures. https://ijels.com/detail/val-plumwood-s-logic-of-domination-vs-freya-mathews-autopoietic-ecology-ecological-psychosis-and-arboreal-kinship-in-le-guin-s-the-word-for-world-is-forest/ Sarah Hadi Razzaq https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/1IJELS-106202659-Val.pdf This paper offers an introduction to the changing image of Kalki, the prophesied final avatar of Vishnu, across Hindu tradition and modern media. It begins with the traditional mythological image of Kalki as a sword-wielding warrior who arrives at the end of the Kali Yuga to destroy evil and restore dharma. The paper then traces the evolution to modernity: humanization, appropriation, and hybridization. Kalki is no longer only a divine figure bound to scripture. Writers, filmmakers, and game designers now reshape him into a relatable hero, a symbol borrowed for new causes, and a character blended with other genres and ideas. The paper identifies several key trends in this shift. One is action-oriented heroic narratives, where Kalki appears as a warrior fighting clear villains in comics, films, and web series. Another is philosophical and rational lenses, where thinkers and writers treat Kalki less as a literal god and more as a metaphor for moral renewal or social change. A third trend is sci-fi and dystopian hybrids, seen in recent cinema and fiction that place Kalki in futuristic, post-apocalyptic worlds. A fourth trend is cultural and nationalistic resonance, where Kalki's image is used to express pride, identity, or political ideas. Together, these trends show how Kalki has moved into broader contemporary discourse, appearing in politics, pop culture, and online debate, not just religious texts. This connects to a larger question: how ancient stories continue to shape our worldviews today. The discussion section evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of retelling a sacred figure for contemporary audiences. The paper's conclusions argue that Kalki's many modern forms do not erase the original myth. Instead, they show how old stories stay alive by adapting to new times. https://ijels.com/detail/from-myth-to-modernity-the-evolving-image-of-kalki-in-contemporary-discourse/ Dr Divya Singh https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/2IJELS-106202671-From.pdf This research paper presents an extensive, multi-layered interdisciplinary analysis of Robert Frost's canonical poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (1923). Moving decisively beyond traditional pastoral or purely psychological interpretations that reduce the text to a metaphor for existential despair or a subconscious death drive, this study positions the poem as a profound metaphysical arena where geographical boundaries, thermodynamic gradients, and cosmic consciousness assimilate. We evaluate the text along two primary analytical vectors: the Spatial Axis, which maps the institutional and legal boundaries separating human property ("the village") from natural sovereignty ("the woods"); and the Energetic Axis, which tracks the thermodynamic field between the traveler—as a localized, self-sustaining source of metabolic heat—and the high-entropy pull of absolute thermal equilibrium represented by the winter solstice. Furthermore, this paper integrates innovative, multi-dimensional frameworks to map the process of human awakening. It establishes the horse as an essential biological guardian and sensory avatar; interprets consciousness through the physical parameters of a Newtonian optical lens; frames the auditory environment through the metaphysical science of Naad Yoga; and scales individual volition into collective civilizational infrastructure via the ancient Vedic mandate of Charaiveti, Charaiveti and Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy of Ekla Chalo Re. This synthesis ultimately demonstrates that the traveler’s journey is an immortal cosmic orbit, proving that human volition is an indomitable force moving in perfect harmony with a dynamic, ever-evolving universe. https://ijels.com/detail/thermodynamics-of-the-soul-an-epic-of-spatial-hegemony-entropy-sensory-perception-and-cosmic-faith-in-robert-frost-s-stopping-by-woods-on-a-snowy-evening/ Prabhakar Kumar Awasthi https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/3IJELS-106202666-Thermodynamics.pdf This paper critically analyses how climate finance and renewable-energy investment can enable India to transition to low-carbon in the post-paris Agreement period between 2015- 2025. The research design embraced in the study is a qualitative and descriptive study design, which is solely based on secondary data that has been sourced through government reports, policy documents, international climate-finance data bases, and academic sources. The article has examined the country-level climate-financing approaches including the green bonds, renewable-energy initiatives, government-corporate initiatives, and international climate-finance instruments like the Green Climate Fund. The study identifies that India has achieved a lot in the growth of renewable-energy and other sustainable-finance processes; nonetheless, the structural issues such as financing gaps, technological dependence, unpredictable regulations, and perpetual reliance on fossil fuels remain to limit the decarbonization over time. The paper concludes with the finding that the most important issue of the realization of the climate-commitments of India in the Paris Agreement should be the improvement of the institutional coordination, climate-finance governance and technological innovations. https://ijels.com/detail/climate-finance-and-renewable-energy-transition-in-india-evaluating-policy-effectiveness-and-investment-challenges-in-the-post-paris-era-2015-2025/ Kamesh Yadav, Dr Nisha Kumari https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/4IJELS-106202654-Climate.pdf The present study investigates the ways in which social dramas in modern Britain have framed social identity in drama and how such framings are transformed in the medium of film. It examines George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and John Osborne's Look Back in Anger and their film adaptations: Pygmalion (1938) directed by Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard, and Look Back in Anger (1959) directed by Tony Richardson. The study adopts the Conceptual Framework of Intermedial Adaptation Transformation. It examines five layers of connection, i.e., original dramatic text, social identity construction, narrative and intermedial transformation, audience reception, and contemporary cultural relevance. The study presents a qualitative textual, visual and scene-based analysis. It determines that the process of building Pygmalion's identity is one of accent, class mobility, linguistic education, gender self-fashioning and/or public recognition, which are manifested in a visible and audible form in the film adaptation. Look Back in Anger builds identity on the basis of masculine anger, domestic entrapment, class resentment, and post-war alienation; on the other hand, Richardson's adaptation adds wider social realism to enclose the stage realism. The study states that adaptation is not a mere reproduction of drama texts but a reorganization of social meanings in the space of cinema, camera motion, close view, cutting, sound, costume and performance. The present study contributes to the field of adaptation studies through the demonstration of modification as a “cultural rejuvenation” that makes dramatic identities visible, affective, and socially resonate across media. https://ijels.com/detail/contemp-adapt-adaptation-of-modern-english-plays-for-contemporary-media/ Abdulhadi Dhiaa Mahdi, Yousif Ali Yousif, Amjed Lateef Jabbar, Waqid Maki Numan https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/5IJELS-106202634-CONTEMP.pdf The research paper is a humble effort to examine the politics of sexual violence and female resistance in Mahasweta Devi’ Draupadi (1978). The work occupies a significant place in contemporary Indian literature for its powerful portrayal of gender, power, and resistance. Set against the socio- political background of the Naxalite movement, it depicts the harsh realities faced by tribal communities and exposes the violence inflicted upon marginalized women by state institutions. Through the character of Dopdi Mejhen, Mahasweta Devi challenges the conventional representation of women as silent victims and instead portrays a protagonist who confronts oppression with remarkable courage and determination. Dopdi's refusal to cover her violated body after custodial rape marks a decisive moment of resistance that unsettles patriarchal notions of shame, honour, and female modesty. Rather than accepting the identity imposed upon her by her oppressors, she reclaims her agency through an act of fearless defiance that transforms her body into a powerful symbol of protest. The study draws upon feminist and postcolonial perspectives to analyse the relationship between bodily violence and political power while highlighting the significance of resistance in the struggle for dignity and justice. The paper further argues that Mahasweta Devi presents sexual violence as a reflection of broader systems of social and political oppression operating within patriarchal and hierarchical structures. By foregrounding the experiences of a tribal woman, the narrative questions dominant ideas of justice, authority, and gendered violence. Draupadi ultimately demonstrates that resistance can emerge even under the most oppressive circumstances, making the text an enduring contribution to feminist literature and postcolonial discourse. The study concludes that Mahasweta Devi's portrayal of Dopdi Mejhen continues to offer valuable insights into contemporary debates on gender, violence, human rights, and the politics of the female body. Through this study, the researcher has attempted to establish that Draupadi is not merely a narrative of victimization but a powerful discourse on female agency, resistance, and the politics of the violated body. The researcher further emphasizes that Mahasweta Devi’s portrayal of Dopdi Mejhen redefines resistance by transforming bodily oppression into a site of political empowerment. https://ijels.com/detail/the-politics-of-sexual-and-female-resistance-in-mahasweta-devi-s-draupadi/ Surbhi, Dr. Nidhi https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/6IJELS-106202699-ThePolitics.pdf This paper examines the works of Sir William Jones, the British Orientalist figure, and establishes him as a “Bard of the East”. This research situates itself within the theoretical framework of Edward Said's Orientalism. Through a close reading of literary compositions, especially two specific “hymns” (Durga and Bhavani) composed by Sir Jones. It also explores how the circulation of Western depictions of “Hindooism”, by Jones, influenced one of the celebrated Romantic poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and his poetic composition, “Kubla Khan”. Employing the practice of close reading, this paper identifies recurring motifs in these compositions and debates whether certain aspects of Hinduism were recomposed to make it suitable for Western readership. It concludes by stating that Sir William Jones, although celebrated as an Orientalist figure of merit, can be considered a Romantic poet, as his "hymns" not only influenced the West but also acted as a reservoir of compositions dedicated to the deities of “Hindooism”. https://ijels.com/detail/a-study-of-the-orient-ation-of-hinduism-in-british-romantic-literature/ Diptishree Gupta https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/7IJELS-107202618-AStudy.pdf The culmination of topographical boundaries and human psyche is illuminated through interdisciplinary the concept of ‘mnemonic borderscapes’ The reverberations of the borderscapes are heard in literature that reflect the life and thoughts of human beings. Writers of fiction use the physical landscapes to portray human life and its complexities. The study aims to analyse the presence of mnemonic borderscapes in Thomas Hardy’s fiction, Tess of the d’Urbervilles. It attempts to identify the social distinctions of the Victorian society as a contested space where people compete for power and delineates the depiction of borderscapes as sites of trauma and grief. The study employs narrative inquiry methodology that identifies how mnemonic borderscapes channelise one’s action based on the past memories. The scrutiny of Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles will foster the comprehension of the temporal nature of borderscapes that becoming inexorable components of human life. https://ijels.com/detail/cobbled-memory-paved-borderscapes-in-thomas-hardy-s-tess-of-the-d-urbervilles/ Sajoe Monica U, Dr. S.

This paper examines the interconnectedness of ritual, food culture, and women’s health. Drawing on interviews with traditional knowledge holders and ethnographic observation, the study maps ritual routines (bathing rites, Pathirapoochoodal, Poothiruvathira), festival performances, and the seasonal dishes prepared for Makairam and Thiruvathira days (Ettangadi, Thiruvathirapuzhuku, special drinks and snacks). Situating these practices within Kerala’s agrarian and caste-structured lifeways, the paper argues that festival foodways are both symbolic and functional: they encode social meanings, enable sanctioned transgression during carnival time, and provide nutritive and medicinal benefits tailored to the female body and seasonal exigencies. Reading Thiruvathirakali through Bakhtin’s carnivalesque highlights how temporary suspension of everyday taboos creates collective space for embodied solidarity and potential resistance, even as such freedoms remain circumscribed by broader social hierarchies. The paper concludes that Thiruvathira’s culinary rituals perform dual roles — preserving communal identity and offering pragmatic health practices — and calls for further comparative and clinical research to assess the long-term health implications of these traditional food regimes https://ijels.com/detail/culinary-rituals-and-carnival-time-thiruvathirakali-as-ritual-space-for-kerala-women/ Dr. Soumy Syamchand https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/9IJELS-107202613-Culinary.pdf This study surrounds the existential crisis that Yank and by extension, every man suffers due to industrialization and the fast-paced growth of society. Through Yank's descent from being the man who seems to be in control of his world to a man who is nothing but a hairy ape, O'Neill wants to portray the reality of modern life. The researcher intends to explore Yank's existential crisis due to the mechanization of society. Existential and Marxist lens are the primary lens’ used in building the argument that Yank's ultimate death is a product of the dehumanization of the modern working class at the hands of the bourgeois.Yank is the mirror image of the modern man who has worked all his life but never found a place of belonging of his own Yank’s existential dilemma stems from not only having a place of belonging, nothing to call home but also a result of the exploitation he suffers in his labour due to the exploitative strategies of the bourgeois class that is ultimately contributing to his existential dillemma. https://ijels.com/detail/existential-angst-an-outcome-of-the-modern-life-in-eugene-o-neill-s-the-hairy-ape/ Reeba Suleman Saiyed https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/10IJELS-10420264-Existential.pdf
