Item Open Access Challenges Before the Institution of Marriage in the Era of Globalisation(University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Chakraborty, GangotriGlobalisation has set off many social changes and has impacted upon the family in many ways posing a threat to the survival of the institution of marriage. This article discusses the many changes that the institution of marriage faces. Just as marriage is much more than just an institution for legitimate sexual relations, "globalization" too is a phenomenon that involves much more than just the economic dealings between the developed and developing nations. Modern cultural values such as expressive and utilitarian individualism cannot sustain marriage without a public theology of covenant and subsidiarity that defines marriage not only as a deeply meaningful personal and spiritual relationship but as a public institution. Today the question is what kind of institutional support does marriage need. Can we do away with the institution of marriage?

The 19th-century divided spheres, paternal authority, and power hierarchy should be put at rest. A middle position of a complex cultural transformation to support marriage and a solution for the tensions between work and family wrought by the forces of modernization is the need of the hour.Item Open Access The Concept of “People” in “We the People of India…” Reality and Transformation(University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Chakraborty, GangotriThis article shows that the concept of “people” in the Preamble of the Constitution of India is vague and confused and victim of severe politicking. Such “people” cannot be the “sovereign” that gave themselves the Constitution. The concept of “people” in the Constitution has an overlap with the “citizenship” that often used interchangeably and nationalism. In the post-independence era the concept of “people” has become more elusive and there is a need to take stock of the situation resulting from right wing majoritarian politics.Item Open Access Gender Issues in International Trade and Investment: A Brief Review(University of North Bengal, 2014-03) Chakraborty, GangotriAlthough globalisation and international trade are generally taken as gender neutral these forces can have an adverse impact on gender equality.
