Abstract: Investigative journalism plays a crucial role in uncovering corporate malfeasance, serving as a vital mechanism for holding powerful entities accountable. This abstract explores the pivotal role of investigative journalism in revealing corporate wrongdoing and highlights its evolution through significant historical milestones. From its early days in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with pioneers like Nellie Bly and Ida B. Wells, to the muckraking era of Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens, investigative journalism has consistently challenged and exposed unethical practices within both government and corporate sectors. Key cases such as the Enron scandal, the News of the World phone hacking scandal, the Satyam scandal, and the Wirecard fraud illustrate how investigative journalism not only brings hidden misconduct to light but also drives systemic reforms and regulatory changes. This paper employs a descriptive research design, relying on secondary sources and case studies to analyze the methodologies and techniques used in investigative journalism, including data analysis, source verification, and undercover reporting. The aim is to understand the historical role of investigative journalism, its impact on exposing corporate wrongdoing, and its continued relevance in the digital age amidst evolving challenges and innovations.

Abstract: Child marriage remains a pressing global issue, depriving millions of children, especially girls, of their fundamental rights to education, health, and personal development. This article explores the dual approach of policy frameworks and community-based interventions as critical strategies to combat child marriage. It highlights the role of legislative measures, grassroots activism, education, and economic empowerment in addressing the root causes and mitigating the consequences of early marriage. The study emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and inclusive stakeholder engagement in designing effective interventions, offering a roadmap for sustainable change. Child marriage has other negative effects on girls’ mental health as well. There is a strong correlation between many types of gender-based violence, such as forced marriage and intimate partner abuse, and the increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts among girls who are engaged or married at a young age. Marriage at a young age not only prevents a kid from finishing high school, but it also forces them into low-paying, precarious occupations since they can’t work as much after giving birth and taking care of the child. Early marriage for girls reduces their lifetime earnings by more than nine percent, which is a big effect. Reducing the prevalence of child marriage has been associated with increased productivity and income.

Abstract: According to the World Health Organization, Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleepand by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still, other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders. Health is elusive to define and ways of thinking about it have evolved over the years. Three leading approaches include the “medical model”, the “holistic model”, and the “wellness model”. This evolution has been reflected in changing ways to measure health. During the 20th century, the medical model was a recognised concept viewing health merely as a state where disease is absent. The biopsychosocial model goes beyond this view and allows for the integration of the physiological, as well as the psychological and social components of disease. The World Health Organisation (1948) states that as a basic principle, “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. This declaration could be considered by some as too ambitious and absolute in view of its focus on ‘complete’ well-being.

Abstract: Education is essential for women’s welfare, advancement, prosperity, and empowerment. From conception to death, women continue to face discrimination. Every aspect of society needs to empower women, as they continue to face prejudice, vulnerability, and oppression. In order to overcome the gender prejudices that society imposes on them, women must swim against the system that demands greater power. Empowerment is a process that starts with education. Rural development will also result from women’s empowerment. Studies reveal that women with higher levels of education typically have higher levels of self-efficacy, self-confidence, and autonomy—all of which are critical components of psychological empowerment. Women can acquire critical thinking and problem-solving skills through education, which is essential for overcoming difficulties in life and promoting personal growth. Additionally, educated women are better able to advocate for their rights, challenge social norms that limit them, and support positive social change and societal transformation. Education has a mixed impact on psychological empowerment. Educational quality, family dynamics, economic conditions, and cultural norms all significantly influence the extent to which education fosters psychological empowerment. Social or economic barriers may hinder women’s ability to fully benefit from educational advantages, highlighting the need for environments and policies that support gender equality

Abstract: This study explores the role of Urdu as a political tool in South Asia, examining how the language has been used to shape nationalism, identity, and political discourse in both Pakistan and India. Historically, Urdu has been more than just a means of communication; it has functioned as a symbol of religious and cultural identity, particularly in the context of Muslim nationalism in Pakistan and Muslim minority politics in India. This research delves into how political leaders, parties, and movements have strategically employed Urdu to foster national unity, assert religious identities, and navigate regional and linguistic divides. In Pakistan, Urdu became the cornerstone of national identity post-partition, despite being spoken by a minority, while in India, the language has been associated with Muslim identity, often marginalized by the dominance of Hindi and Hindu nationalism. The study examines the intersections of language, politics, and social division, highlighting how Urdu’s status has been both a tool for political integration and a source of ethnic tension. Additionally, the role of Urdu-language media in contemporary political discourse is analyzed, shedding light on how the language continues to influence political movements and public opinion. This research underscores the significance of language in constructing national identities and shaping political ideologies, offering insights into the broader implications of linguistic politics in South Asia.

Abstract: Sarojini Naidu, a prominent poet and freedom fighter, is renowned for her lyrical poetry that celebrates the vibrancy and beauty of India, often intertwining nature with human experiences. Her love for nature is a central theme in many of her poems, where natural elements such as flowers, rivers, and the sky are not only used to evoke aesthetic pleasure but also serve as metaphors for deeper emotional and spiritual states. This paper explores the representation of nature in selected poems of Sarojini Naidu, such as “The Lotus,” “In the Bazaars of Hyderabad,” and “The Palanquin Bearers,” analyzing how her poetic expression reflects an enduring affection for the natural world. Through vivid imagery, symbolic meaning, and sensory descriptions, Naidu’s works demonstrate how nature is both a source of beauty and a channel for emotional and national expression. This study highlights how nature in Naidu’s poetry becomes a reflection of spiritual growth, national identity, joy, sorrow, and comfort, reinforcing the interconnection between the human soul and the natural environment.
