Eliot published The Waste Land in 1922 he showed us a world that was broken. This was after the First World War. A hundred years later The Waste Land still makes sense to us. We just went through the COVID-19 pandemic. There are still a lot of tensions in the world especially in the Middle East. What T.S. Eliot wrote about back then seems real to us now.Sat, 09 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55416/from-postwar-despair-to-pandemic-fear-and-modern-conflicthttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55415/ports-power-amp-the-price-of-supremacyThe uncomfortable truth is this: control of global trade infrastructure — not battlefield victories — determines modern supremacy. Ports are not just logistics hubs; they are geopolitical choke points. Whoever owns them influences supply chains, energy flows, and, ultimately, decision-making in distant capitals. India stands at a fascinating inflection point. It has economic momentum, demographic heft, and growing diplomatic capital. But it lacks one decisive lever that powers true global influence: systematic financial deployment at scale for strategic asset acquisition.Sat, 09 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55415/ports-power-amp-the-price-of-supremacyhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55414/from-la-martiniere-to-hindu-college-to-the-house-of-lordsYou were recently honoured at the India–UK Achievers Awards 2026.

What confidence in those eyes! Those four eyes haunt me still. They keep shooting repeatedly piercing questions.

Some commentators argue that this is a weapon for the BJP and that the Centre is behind it. Such allegations are not new in Indian politics. Since 2014, under Narendra Modi's leadership, BJP's political strategies have evolved significantly.

Over coffee they debate careers, gender equality, freedom, dowry, and family expectations, exposing tension between modern ideals and hidden hypocrisy. Misunderstandings follow, yet a later encounter clears the air and they choose an imperfect but hopeful partnership.

One of the most important areas influenced by this change is the field of libraries. In the past, libraries were mainly quiet places where books were stored and people visited to read or borrow them. Today, however, libraries have transformed into dynamic knowledge centers that provide access to both physical and digital information. This transformation has been made possible through the combined role of technology, communication systems, and library automation.Sat, 09 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55406/technology-communication-and-library-automationhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55405/sita-swayamvarTranslation of the chapter of marriage of Rama and Sita from RamcharitmanasSat, 09 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55405/sita-swayamvarhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55404/literature-and-culture-in-womens-conversationsEvery human being has literary and cultural needs.

He may think himself to be one of the British empire but is not exactly an Englishman of that type. He is a journo and his English is journo English. A journalist breaks and creates and recreates.

To become an author or an editor is no crime, rather it is a noble task but the kind of publications (both print and digital) that are overcrowding the bookshelves and online journals/platforms often throw the sensitive reader/writer into deep mental turmoil. The situation turns grave when most people in academia (mostly in higher education) go on publication spree.Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55402/pollution-on-publishing-platformshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55401/indias-evolving-war-doctrineWhat does it mean for a nation to be studied by its adversaries and allies alike? At what point does recognition turn into ‘predictability,’ and predictability into ‘vulnerability’? Can military excellence survive prolonged global scrutiny without losing its edge of surprise? And more importantly, does power lie in what is demonstrated, or in what remains deliberately unseen?

The thing that has changed is how wars were fought and types of weapons that were employed. When we look at the last century we saw advent of many new types of weapons, and along with that we saw coining of the term GI for army men in US army. Now in the twenty-first century we are seeing that advent of AI is transforming the way wars are being fought. The future of conflict resolution looks very scary not just in terms of human loss alone, but collateral property damage and infrastructure damage. Let us just look at the changes taking place and how they will influence the outcome of future wars.  Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55400/will-ai-be-new-gihttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55399/educational-institutions-consumer-law-amp-indias-jurisprudential-fault-lineWhen a student pays fees, buys a prospectus, relies on an institution’s promises, and loses years because those promises were false, is that merely an academic misfortune or a consumer wrong? When a university conducts examinations, awards degrees, or enforces statutory rules, is it performing a public function beyond consumer law? When the Supreme Court says 'yes' in one line of cases and 'no' in another, what exactly is the law? And when the law oscillates like this, is the problem judicial subjectivity, doctrinal confusion, or both? Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55399/educational-institutions-consumer-law-amp-indias-jurisprudential-fault-linehttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55398/banking-system-loopholesThe Indian banking system should be a symbol of social service and a vehicle for financial inclusion. However, the case of Jitu Munda, a tribal youth from Keonjhar district in Odisha, brutally exposes its failures. He was refused inheritance of Rs.20,000 from his deceased sister, Kalara Munda’s account, even two months after her death. His frustration and helplessness eventually drove him to dig up his sister’s skeleton and display it in front of the bank. This incident is not just the failure of a single rural bank; it ruthlessly exposes several deep-rooted flaws in our entire banking system. This is not an isolated event; it reflects a systemic disaster.Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/55398/banking-system-loopholeshttps://www.boloji.com/articles/55397/teaching-beyond-the-textbookUnfortunately, due to the advancement of technology and changes in society, twenty-first-century education cannot only take place through textbooks, so we must find ways to use non-textbook methods to promote creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on experience.

Every day, thousands of research papers, theses, dissertations, reports, data files, government documents, scientific articles, and online books are published.
