From Aesthetic to Epistemology: Rethinking the Kafkaesque and Delineating Theoretical Reflections on Kafkaesque Discourse
Mrinal Pant
Abstract: This paper reconfigures the Kafkaesque not merely as an aesthetic category or stylistic descriptor but as an epistemological framework that engenders modes of knowing, interpretation, and lived experience in modernity. Rising above the thematic concerns of absurdity and alienation, the study argues that Kafkaesque discourse contends a separate epistemic condition mired in opacity, deferred meaning, and the persistent failure of interpretive mastery. Engaging closely with Franz Kafka’s major fictional works and their critical afterlives, the paper delineates how Kafkaesque discourse dismantles conventional epistemologies grounded in causality, transparency, and rational coherence. It demonstrates that the subject within the Kafkaesque is not simply oppressed by external forces but is epistemologically disoriented, compelled to navigate a world in which knowledge is simultaneously demanded and perpetually withheld. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s theorisation of discourse and power–knowledge, the paper examines how bureaucratic and legal systems in Kafka function as regimes that produce uncertainty and instability rather than intelligibility, disciplining subjects through procedural excess and informational asymmetry. Giorgio Agamben’s reflections on law, sovereignty, and the state of exception further illuminate the Kafkaesque juridical order as a suspended epistemic space in which judgment is endlessly postponed and guilt is presupposed without being articulated. In this sense, the Kafkaesque subject is constituted not through transgression but through permanent exposure to an unknowable law. Additionally, Walter Benjamin’s reading of Kafka provides a critical framework for understanding Kafkaesque narrative as allegorical without yielding stable meaning. Benjamin’s critique of mythic law and his emphasis on interpretive incompletion enable a rethinking of Kafkaesque discourse as one that resists hermeneutic closure and foregrounds the limits of knowledge itself.
By situating the Kafkaesque at the intersection of literary form, political theory, and epistemology, this paper delineates its theoretical ramifications for modern conceptions of power, agency, and interpretation. It ultimately proposes the Kafkaesque as a critical epistemology that exposes the precarious conditions under which meaning, authority, and subjectivity are produced.

Emerging Education System in Gorkhaland Territorial Areas (GTA) Since 2007 to Present Time
Dawa Tamang
Abstract: The education system in the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) region, comprising Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts, has undergone significant transformation since 2007. Historically known for its prestigious missionary and residential schools established during the colonial period, the region continues to maintain a legacy of quality education. However, persistent political instability, administrative challenges, and socio-economic constraints have adversely affected its overall functioning. This study examines the emerging trends, challenges, and reforms in the GTA education system using a qualitative and historical methodology supported by primary interactions and secondary sources. The findings reveal critical issues such as poor fund utilization under government schemes, infrastructural deficiencies, politicization of educational administration, and a shortage of qualified teachers due to ad hoc recruitment practices. At the same time, initiatives such as school renovations, teacher training, and alignment with the National Education Policy 2020 indicate gradual progress toward systemic improvement. The study also highlights the role of education in preserving the region’s multicultural identity while addressing language and accessibility barriers in higher education. Thus, the paper argues that although the GTA education system is transitioning toward structured and policy-driven development, sustained institutional reforms, improved governance, and context-specific strategies are essential to ensure equitable and quality education in the hill regions.
Cognitive, Behavioural and Social Predictors of Depression and Mood Dysregulation
Avishi Singhal
Abstract: Depression and mood dysregulation represent significant mental health concerns influenced by multiple psychological and social determinants. The present study examined the predictive contribution of cognitive, behavioural, and social factors to depression and mood dysregulation among adults using a quantitative cross-sectional research design. A total of 150 participants aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited through purposive and convenience sampling methods. Standardized psychometric instruments were administered to assess cognitive emotion regulation strategies, behavioural functioning, and social interaction difficulties. Multiple regression analysis was employed to evaluate the extent to which these domains significantly predicted depressive outcomes. The overall regression model was not statistically significant, indicating that the combined effects of cognitive, behavioural, and social predictors did not explain a meaningful proportion of variance in depression and mood dysregulation. Individually, cognitive factors demonstrated a small positive association, behavioural factors showed a weak negative association, and social factors indicated a minimal positive association with the dependent variable; however, none of these relationships reached statistical significance. The significant intercept suggested the presence of baseline depressive symptoms independent of the examined predictors. The findings highlight the complex and multidimensional nature of depression and suggest that cognitive, behavioural, and social variables may influence depressive symptoms indirectly through mediating mechanisms such as emotion regulation processes or contextual stressors. The study underscores the need for integrated biopsychosocial models and longitudinal research approaches to better understand pathways contributing to mood dysregulation. Implications for future research and mental health assessment frameworks are discussed.
Correlation Between Instant App Usage and Instant Need Satisfaction Lifestyles Interaction Healthy Lifestyles Among Young Consumers
Tamanna Duggal
Abstract:
The rapid expansion of instant mobile applications has transformed contemporary consumption behaviour and lifestyle patterns among young consumers. Using primary data collected from 150 respondents the present study aims to examine the relationship between instant application usage, instant need satisfaction, lifestyle interaction, and healthy lifestyle orientation among young consumers. A quantitative correlational research design was employed to analyse the direction and strength of associations among the study variables without experimental manipulation. Responses were measured using a five-point Likert scale and analysed through descriptive statistics, reliability testing, and Pearson’s product–moment correlation analysis. The findings reveal statistically significant positive relationships between instant app usage and healthy lifestyle orientation, instant need satisfaction, and lifestyle–app interaction. Frequent use of instant applications was strongly associated with enhanced time management, reduced perceived stress, and improved convenience in fulfilling daily functional and emotional needs. Contrary to traditional assumptions that digital dependency undermines well-being, the results indicate that moderated and purpose- driven app usage can support organized routines and lifestyle management among young consumers. However, the study also identifies potential risks associated with excessive reliance on instant services, including impulsive consumption tendencies and reduced offline engagement. From a policy should focus on the promotion of responsible digital consumption through consumer awareness initiatives, ethical application design practices that discourage addictive engagement mechanisms, and regulatory attention toward instant commerce and digital payment ecosystems. The findings contribute to digital consumer behaviour literature by integrating lifestyle orientation and well-being perspectives within the instant app ecosystem, particularly in the context of emerging economies.
Assessing the Impact of Employer Branding on Talent Attraction in the Indian Higher Education Sector
Sarla Mishra, Dr. Pradeep Chaurasia, Dr. Prakash Kumar Sen
Abstract:
The present study, “Assessing the Impact of Employer Branding on Talent Attraction in the Indian Higher Education Sector,” examines how employer branding influences the ability of higher education institutions to attract qualified academic and administrative talent. With the rapid expansion, privatization, and increasing competition in the Indian higher education landscape, institutions are required to adopt strategic approaches beyond traditional recruitment practices. Employer branding has emerged as a critical tool in shaping institutional identity, enhancing reputation, and communicating value propositions to potential employees. This research adopts a quantitative, descriptive, and analytical approach, using a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 300 respondents, including faculty members and administrative staff from public and private institutions across selected Indian states. The study evaluates key dimensions of employer branding such as organizational culture, work environment, leadership support, career development opportunities, compensation, and digital presence, and analyzes their impact on talent attraction indicators like intention to apply, employer preference, and recommendation behavior. The findings reveal that employer branding has a significant and positive impact on talent attraction, explaining a substantial proportion of variance in candidates’ employment decisions. Among the various dimensions, institutional reputation, positive work culture, and professional development opportunities emerged as the most influential factors. Additionally, the study confirms that organizational culture plays a mediating role, strengthening the relationship between employer branding and talent attraction.
