    The Impact of New Media on Youths in the Age of Globalisation: A Study of Youths in Aligarh
    (Sandpiper Publishers, 2025) Faizan Haque
    This paper aims to understand how new media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Snapchat) have impacted the young generation in India. Globalisation has greatly shrunk the world, and the availability of new media globally has exacerbated its impacts. All programs, websites, or blogs that allow people all over the world to interact online, exchange ideas, and make video calls, among many other functions are considered new media. Almost half of the world's population is thought to be active on Facebook and Instagram. Social media has a significant influence on society and stakeholders, and it fosters the creation of virtual communities. New media began as an interaction between people using new forms of technology, and the conversations became increasingly public. Marx said that a change in mode of production (technology) would bring about a change in social relationships, and since a couple of decades, we have been observing how our relationships have changed. It affects our social life both positively and negatively. It also has to be responsible for the rise of mental health problems among young people since it has so thoroughly intoxicated the more youthful members of society that they possess complete dependence on these platforms. This paper is primarily based on the information and content analysis gathered through a critical analysis of available related literature and interviews with youths who are more active and access more frequently on social networking sites.

    The Politics of Gender & Good Governance in India: A Critical Discourse
    (Bharti Publications, 2025) Faizan Haque
    Within the current development paradigm, one of the main challenges is gender disparity in India. It can take many different forms and is a major factor in determining the lives of most women on the Indian subcontinent. Numerous research studies and works published by international organisations have demonstrated the various dimensions of gender inequality that exist in India. In addition to restricting women's access to opportunities and resources, a lack of gender equality jeopardises the chances for the next generation. On the other hand, democracy, decentralisation, and local governance are inextricably related to each other, in which the role of women is a critical factor. Including women in decision-making roles, access and control, and the use of power and authority are all important aspects of mainstreaming gender in local government. Previous studies have indicated that socio-cultural hurdles that had not been addressed by several reform attempts often resulted in women being elected as "proxies" for their male relatives or preventing them from carrying out their representational roles. In essence, governance comprises the traditions, institutions and processes that determine how power is exercised, how citizens are given a voice, and how decisions are made on issues of public concern. This paper tries to find out factors which are responsible for gender inequality in various institutions and good governance in India. The descriptive and content analytical natures serve as the foundation for this research paper. The present paper is based on secondary data which will be collected from various sources like journals, books, reports, articles, internet etc.
