Abstract

The Richards constitution of 1946 remains a watershed in the annals of Nigeria’s political development. It was that constitution that split Nigeria into three regions and inadvertently, injected regionalism and ethnicism into Nigerian politics. The formation in 1951 of both Action Group and the Northern People’s Congress polarized Nigerian nationalism along ethnic, regional, and even religious lines. Adopting the qualitative research methodology of content analysis, this paper observed that party politics in Nigeria has not succeeded in any appreciable degree, in engendering national integration, nation-building, and national development since 1999 which is Nigeria’s forth attempt at democratic governance. A number of factors were identified as stumbling blocks in this regard. The conclusion was that though political parties are expected to provide a forum for articulating programmes meant to be inclusive and encourage national integration, political contestations in Nigeria has remained fainted with ethnic, regional and religious particularisms. This was especially so between 2015 and 2023.

Abstract

The question of whether the cosmos has a finite beginning or an infinite past remains a central issue in both philosophy and contemporary cosmology. This study investigates the metaphysical and physical plausibility of a past-eternal universe by integrating philosophical analysis with conceptual examination of modern cosmological models. Employing qualitative philosophical methodology and critical analysis of theoretical physics, the paper evaluates temporal ontology (A-theory and B-theory), the implications of special relativity, and paradoxes associated with actual infinities, including Thomson’s Lamp and a formalized infinite traversal analogy. The analysis argues that an actual infinite temporal regress generates logical and metaphysical difficulties, particularly under a dynamic conception of temporal becoming. Furthermore, the paper examines the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker model, the Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems, and the Borde–Guth–Vilenkin theorem, assessing their implications for past completeness. While certain speculative models attempt to avoid a temporal boundary, they remain mathematically constrained and philosophically contentious. The study concludes that both metaphysical reasoning and contemporary cosmology provide convergent support for the thesis that the cosmos is temporally finite and had a definite beginning.

Abstract

The concept of social harmony in South Asian political thought has been understood either as sociological stability or as an administrative consequence of state power, thus missing its ethical-political aspects. In this article, this paper explores the historical roots of social harmony by looking at the connexion between the traditions of pre-colonial resistance in North India and Gandhian moral politics. This research seeks to show that Gandhian nonviolent politics did not represent a complete break with the preceding political practises but rather a selective ethical reworking of already existing traditions of resistance and coexistence. The paper utilises a qualitative, interpretive, and genealogical research design, examining historical work about peasant mobilisations, stories of Rajput resistance, and shrine-based solidarities, Gandhian texts, and the contemporary theory of politics. The results indicate that pre-colonial resistance tended to be conducted under ethical guidelines that governed the conflict by restraint, negotiation and morality instead of open violence. Colonial rule interfered with these moral frameworks by remaking social difference in terms of bureaucratic categorization and formulating resistance as lawlessness. In this respect, Gandhian politics changed the previous traditions of moral restraint into disciplined nonviolence, self-suffering and interfaith coexistence. This paper contends that social harmony must be viewed as a political morality that has been formed through historically based practises of ethical resistance rather than the absence of conflict.

Abstract

In this paper, the causal principle, "whatever begins to exist has a cause" is defended  by resurrecting the medieval philosopher John Duns Scotus's argument for God's existence. In light of recent criticisms from philosophers and new atheists who question the universality of causality by pointing to uncaused beginnings and quantum indeterminacy, we reconcile Scotus's modal-metaphysical framework with contemporary philosophy and physics. In support of the causal principle, a thorough analysis of the premises has been presented. We also provide a scientific and philosophical case against limitless causal regresses. By integrating modern empirical natural philosophy with medieval natural theology, the synthesis reaffirms the causal principle's relevancy in modern time and attempts to refute arguments against God's existence as First Cause based upon attacking the causal principle.

Abstract

Student politics play a significant role in shaping democratic values, leadership skills, and awareness among students. But it is being tainted, especially in university campus, by violence, party interests, and personal gains. Student politics has both negative and positive impacts. Based on primary data which have been collected from 100 respondents, this study aims to assess the role of student politics in Bangladesh from July, 2024 to the present, knowing the opinions of people about student politics, evaluating the impacts of student politics on academic activities and governance, and identifying the positive and negative aspects of student political involvement. A purposive sampling method was applied, focusing on students, faculty, and student leaders. Findings reveal a dual nature of student politics: while it fosters political awareness and leadership, it also contributes to academic disruptions, administrative conflicts, and campus violence. The research concludes by offering practical reform recommendations to ensure that student politics contributes positively to democracy and institutional integrity, emphasizing the urgent need for democratization, transparency, and accountability in student political practices.

Abstract

Social intercourse between European Christians and the Tamils was not easy yet, the converts dared to become Christians and associate themselves with the "foreigners." They have applied the passive approach of dialogue with other religious people regarding their beliefs and faith. Ziegenbalg corresponded with several scholars and practitioners of Tamil bhakti religions. Ziegenbalg and his successors gave them a Tamil version of the Bible, catechisms, theologies, songs, and other religious practices. The cultural adaptations helped Indian Christians establish themselves as an alternate community that is fully functional even now.

Abstract

The port of Alappuzha is a historic port that epitomizes Kerala's maritime legacy and economic development. The port, itself was planned and designed, drawing the attention in the late 18th century, when the Lord Raja Kesavadas was the able administrator, and got developed as the trade and finance centre for Travancore Kingdom. Thanks to a web of canals connecting the Vembanad Lake and the Arabian Sea, Alappuzha became an export hub for coir and coir products, pepper, ginger, timber and other commodities linked to the hinterland as well as global markets. This paper investigates the varied significance of Alappuzha Port in the economic, political and diplomatic history of Travancore, focusing specifically on the leading role played by the port in the development of the coir industry, one of the still vibrant pillars of Kerala economic identity. Tracing the twin narratives of a port flourishing due to a geographic advantage, administrative forethought and an open trade policy and subsequently declining with the emergence of Cochin Port, the breakup of coir production, and entry of modern transport networks, the paper compares and contrasts a range of factors responsible both for the success and the failure of Quilon. Based on historical records, archaeological findings, and heritage analysis, the study shows how the architectural and cultural remains of the port are being restored and reinterpreted through modern heritage practices. In Conclusion, the thesis stresses that Alappuzha is not just a historical marker in the maritime history of the state but also a living monument of Kerala’s industrial memory and argues for its preservation as a National Heritage Landscape

Abstract

This research article explores the intricate relationship between caste hierarchy, customary practices, and mechanisms of social control in rural Bengal during the colonial period. While colonial historiography has traditionally emphasized political authority, economic exploitation, and administrative transformation, the everyday social processes through which power was exercised at the village level have often remained underexamined. This study argues that caste and custom were not merely survivals of a pre-colonial social order but dynamic institutions that actively structured rural life and mediated colonial authority. Through the regulation of labor, gender relations, ritual practices, and access to resources, caste-based norms and customary rules functioned as effective instruments of social discipline. Colonial administrators, far from dismantling these indigenous institutions, selectively recognized and codified them to facilitate governance with minimal coercion. Drawing upon colonial census reports, district gazetteers, ethnographic writings, and modern historical scholarship, this article examines how caste and custom reinforced social hierarchy while simultaneously becoming sites of negotiation and resistance. By foregrounding social control as a key analytical category, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the social history of colonial Bengal and highlights the complex interaction between indigenous society and colonial power.

Abstract

This book written by a former Japanese ambassador, Takeo lugchi, represents one of the first sustained academic efforts to re-examine the attack on Pearl Harbor through legal evidence and diplomatic records from Japanese perspective. Lguchi publication of the book aims at identification of the false ideas that has distorted historical facts. Therefore, the published work is driven by a stated commitment to correcting what he perceives as distortions in the historical records.  The author addresses the long-standing question of why Japan attacked the U.S. naval fleet at Pearl Harbour without declaring a formal war and how this action was connected to the simultaneous Japanese landing on the same day at Kota Bharu against British forces. Lguchi investigates whether the failure lay with the Japanese Navy, which preferred a surprise attack to ensure success. Given that the author’s father served as a subordinate official in the Japanese embassy, Iguchi appears inclined to defend the embassy’s role while placing primary responsibility on the military and the Foreign Ministry.

Abstract

Kamal Khan Dam is one of the most important water management projects in Afghanistan, located on the Helmand River in Nimroz Province, about 95 kilometers from Zaranj city in Chahar Burjak District. The construction of this dam has long been an aspiration of the Afghan people, particularly the residents of Nimroz, and it was officially inaugurated in 2021. This study examines the importance of Kamal Khan Dam and the influence of the Helmand River on political relations between Afghanistan and Iran. The research is based on qualitative analysis using library sources, including books, scholarly articles, legal documents, and online materials. The findings indicate that the dam plays a significant role in water management, irrigation of agricultural lands, electricity generation, and job creation in the region. Furthermore, the management of Helmand River water has long been an important factor in Afghanistan–Iran relations. According to the 1973 Helmand Water Treaty, Iran is entitled to an average flow of 22 cubic meters per second, with an additional 4 cubic meters under normal conditions. Proper management of the dam can therefore contribute to Afghanistan’s economic development while supporting regional cooperation through effective water diplomacy.
