Abstract

This study explores the transformation of Moksha Patam, a traditional Indian board game rooted in spiritual and moral education, into the globally commercialized game Snakes and Ladders. Originally designed to teach concepts like karma and moksha, the game was secularized during British colonialism and later commodified in the West, losing its original cultural and pedagogical meanings. Using a qualitative library research method, the paper analyzes historical texts, colonial records, and contemporary versions to examine how the game’s symbolism has evolved. Despite widespread homogenization, modern adaptations in countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, and Iran reflect local values and current social issues, indicating the game’s ongoing relevance and semiotic flexibility. Recent efforts by Indian educators and NGOs to reintroduce Moksha Patam into schools highlight a broader movement toward cultural reclamation and decolonized education. The study underscores the need to recognize and preserve indigenous knowledge systems in modern learning environments.

Abstract

India faces a persistent civic deficit reflected in weak civic sense, low compliance with public norms, and a structural imbalance between rights and duties. Although ancient Indian traditions emphasized collective responsibility, colonial legacies, institutional weaknesses, and growing socioeconomic disparities have eroded civic culture. This study employs qualitative content analysis using historical texts, constitutional provisions, judicial interpretations, comparative international case studies, and interdisciplinary scholarly literature. Thematic coding is used to analyze the socio-legal, political, and educational roots of India’s civic deficit. Findings reveal that India’s civic deficit stems from interconnected structural factors: weak enforcement of laws, lack of experiential civic education, limited trust in institutions, political interference, and socioeconomic inequality. Comparative insights from Japan, Nordic countries, Singapore, and Brazil demonstrate that civic sense improves when experiential education, strong institutional integrity, and participatory governance coexist. Addressing India’s civic deficit requires systemic reforms: reorienting civic education toward experiential learning, strengthening judicial independence, enforcing rules consistently, expanding participatory mechanisms, and promoting community-level ownership. Comparative models show that long-term cultural change requires both structural reforms and citizen-centered engagement.

Abstract

This article examines the evolving discourse on granting legal personhood to Artificial Intelligence (AI) by analyzing jurisprudential foundations, global regulatory frameworks, and emerging challenges in liability attribution. As AI systems acquire higher autonomy, opacity, and decision-making independence, traditional human-centered legal structures struggle to assign responsibility for AI-generated harms. Through a qualitative methodological approach, involving library research and content analysis, this study evaluates whether limited or functional legal personhood can serve as a viable solution to accountability gaps created by advanced AI systems. The discussion explores key themes including AI autonomy, black-box decision processes, digital identities in virtual environments, metaverse avatars, and the boundaries of existing tort and contract law. Comparative insights from the European Union, the United States, and India highlight significant divergences in regulatory approaches, particularly regarding “electronic personhood,” strict liability models, and AI-specific safeguards. Findings indicate that while full personhood is premature, a hybrid framework—combining functional personhood, risk-based regulation, and AI-focused accountability mechanisms—could enhance legal clarity, promote responsible innovation, and strengthen public trust. This study contributes to the ongoing global effort to conceptualize AI legal personhood within modern socio-digital ecosystems.
