This research analyzes UN General Assembly voting patterns from 2015 to 2025 using network analysis. By tracking voting similarity, the study uncovers shifting geopolitical alliances and political convergences before formal treaties emerge.
Generative AI can now turn a deceased person’s data into an active synthetic identity. Comparing India, the US, and the EU, this paper proposes a dignity-based legislative model, anchored in Article 21, to govern digital afterlives in India.
This study examines whether patterns of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voting can reveal emerging forms of diplomatic alignment in an increasingly multipolar international system. It focuses on India as a key case, given its strategic autonomy and engagement with both Western and non-Western states. The research also investigates whether similarities in climate-related priorities, particularly those associated with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13), correspond with similarities in UNGA voting behaviour. Drawing on liberal institutionalism and constructivism, the study explores how cooperation, norms, identities, and strategic interests shape state behaviour. Using systematic literature review, documentary analysis, comparative analysis, and Social Network Analysis, the research identifies voting clusters and patterns of diplomatic proximity. It recognises that voting similarity does not necessarily indicate formal alliances, but may reflect broader patterns of cooperation and alignment in contemporary international relations.
India’s tax-policy framework underwent substantial restructuring following the launch of Make in India in 2014, including GST implementation, corporate-tax reductions, and customs-policy changes. This study examines these developments alongside manufacturing performance, foreign direct investment, employment, and trade, using secondary data covering 2010–2025, subject to indicator availability.
The findings present a mixed picture. GST collections increased, selected business-environment indicators improved, and manufacturing recorded growth in several years. However, manufacturing’s share of GDP declined, FDI fluctuated, and merchandise imports increased more than exports, widening the trade deficit. Six exploratory bivariate regressions found no statistically significant relationships between annual manufacturing growth and the selected tax-revenue, FDI, or export indicators at the 5% level.
These results neither establish the absence of an economic relationship nor permit causal attribution to taxation or Make in India. They highlight the importance of evaluating tax policy alongside infrastructure, logistics, skills, technology, and global economic conditions. The study emphasizes predictable taxation, carefully designed tariffs, and incentives assessed against measurable investment, employment, productivity, and domestic-value-addition outcomes.
This study critically examines the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, privacy, and social inequalities in India. Drawing on primary data from a demographically diverse sample of 150+ respondents across different regions, it explores how factors such as income, age, gender, education, and social background shape AI awareness, access, and privacy concerns. The findings highlight disparities in AI understanding, the complex relationship between AI literacy and privacy awareness, and the need for stronger digital education, collective responsibility, and adaptive legal frameworks to address emerging privacy challenges in the AI era.
Digital remains—social media, cloud storage, and emails—persist after death, but India lacks clear rules on control. This paper examines tensions between the deceased’s privacy, family wishes, and corporate policies, proposing a mixed framework treating digital assets as inheritable estate while preserving dignity through wills and digital executors.
This study examines India’s Make in India tax reforms. GST revenue tripled, but tariff cuts barely changed imports, and MSMEs still face high compliance costs despite the changes.
This study examines India’s school education budget execution during 2018–19 to 2023–24, analysing Budget Estimates, Revised Estimates, and Actual Expenditure. Findings reveal persistent expenditure gaps, variations across regions and states, and changing utilisation patterns over time.
This study looks at the gap between education budgets and actual spending across Indian states and examines how this gap relates to school infrastructure, teacher vacancies, and pupil-teacher ratios using quantitative analysis.
This study examines how abstentions and non-participation shape UN General Assembly voting blocs across 1991–2025, finding that issue-specific patterns matter more than voting representation, with absences serving as a secondary signal of diplomatic alignment.
