Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Ancient India
Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) of ancient India represent one of humanity's most comprehensive and sophisticated intellectual traditions, encompassing mathematics, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, architecture, agriculture, and governance. Developed over millennia and documented in texts including the Vedas, Upanishads, Arthashastra, and medical treatises, these systems demonstrate rigorous empirical observation and logical reasoning. This manuscript examines scientific foundations, documented achievements, and contemporary relevance of ancient Indian knowledge systems. Evidence demonstrates sophisticated understanding of physics concepts including motion, light, and magnetism; advanced mathematical frameworks including zero and decimal systems; medical knowledge preserved in Ayurveda; and metallurgical technologies including wootz steel production. These systems operated within philosophical frameworks emphasizing interconnection, sustainability, and harmony with natural world. Contemporary integration of IKS with modern education and technology presents opportunity for culturally grounded knowledge development while addressing global challenges. However, systematic documentation of IKS, rigorous comparative analysis with contemporaneous systems, and critical evaluation of knowledge claims require substantial scholarly investment. This manuscript synthesizes available evidence regarding ancient Indian knowledge systems while acknowledging gaps requiring future research.
Digital Humanities and Contemporary Literary Studies
Digital humanities represents transformative intersection of computational methods, digital technologies, and humanistic inquiry, fundamentally reshaping contemporary literary studies. This manuscript examines how digital tools and approaches enable new forms of textual analysis, interpretation, and literary scholarship. Digital humanities methodologies including text mining, network analysis, spatial mapping, and corpus analysis generate novel insights into literary patterns, authorial networks, and textual relationships previously inaccessible through traditional close reading. Digital archives and databases democratize access to literary texts, enabling global scholarly communities and expanding canon boundaries. Computational stylometry addresses authorship attribution and literary influence patterns with increasing sophistication. However, digital methods simultaneously present methodological challenges, raise questions regarding distant versus close reading complementarity, and risk reproducing existing scholarly biases through computational systems. This manuscript synthesizes literature examining digital humanities' theoretical foundations, methodological innovations, practical applications, and critical limitations. The analysis demonstrates that digital humanities complements rather than replaces traditional literary scholarship, offering productive tensions between computational scale and humanistic interpretation. Future development requires addressing data curation challenges, improving algorithmic transparency, and ensuring equitable access to digital tools enabling broad scholarly participation.
Digital Preservation of India's Cultural Heritage

Through synthesis of peer-reviewed literature and case studies, we identify community-based adaptation mechanisms, institutional frameworks, and knowledge systems that enhance resilience. Findings indicate that integration of traditional ecological knowledge with modern climate science, coupled with participatory governance structures, strengthens adaptive capacity. However, significant gaps remain in funding, policy coherence, and cross-border coordination. This study concludes that sustainable adaptation requires multi-level governance approaches that recognize local agency while addressing structural inequalities.
Designing Inclusive Assessment Systems for Multilingual Tribal Students
Designing assessment systems that meaningfully evaluate learning outcomes among multilingual tribal students presents complex challenges intertwined with linguistic diversity, cultural context, and educational equity. Traditional assessment approaches often rely on standardized instruments developed in dominant languages and cultural frameworks, which can marginalize tribal learners by neglecting their home languages, cultural knowledge, and unique ways of demonstrating understanding. This manuscript presents a comprehensive framework for the development of inclusive, culturally responsive assessments tailored to the lived realities of tribal communities in India. Grounded in constructivist learning theory and the funds-ofknowledge perspective, the framework emphasizes collaborative co-design with community stakeholders, integration of culturally situated content, and flexible language modalities that allow students to respond through oral, pictorial, or written means. To evaluate the framework’s feasibility, reliability, and impact on learner engagement, a mixed-methods pilot study was conducted in three tribal schools across Jharkhand, Odisha, and Meghalaya, involving 120 Grade 5 students and 12 teachers. Quantitative analyses compared performance on state board pre-tests (administered in Hindi) with posttests designed via the inclusive framework, revealing a statistically significant improvement in mean scores— from 48% to 72% (p < .001)—and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .86). Qualitative interviews with students and teachers highlighted increased test comprehension, motivation, and confidence when assessments were delivered in home languages and embedded with locally relevant scenarios. Students reported feeling “proud” and “seen” when their languages and cultural practices were acknowledged, while teachers noted reductions in item ambiguity and enhanced participation among typically quieter learners. Operational insights pointed to the importance of teacher training in bilingual rubric development and the need for institutional support to manage extended administration times.
Neurodiversity and Language Learning in Multilingual Educational Settings
This manuscript investigates the dynamic interplay between neurodiversity and language learning in multilingual educational environments, with an emphasis on how neurodivergent learners—specifically those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia—acquire additional languages when instruction and daily communication occur across two or more linguistic systems. Although previous research has separately explored neurodivergent cognition and multilingual pedagogy, there has been limited integration of these domains. Here, we adopt an interdisciplinary framework, synthesizing findings from cognitive neuroscience, applied linguistics, special education, and educational technology to illuminate how characteristic strengths (e.g., visual-spatial reasoning, hyperfocus, pattern recognition) and challenges (e.g., sensory sensitivities, working-memory constraints, executivefunction deficits) of neurodivergent learners manifest in second-language acquisition processes. A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted over an academic year (September 2023–June 2024) in three urban public schools in multilingual regions of India. Forty-five neurodivergent students aged 10–14 (15 ASD, 15 ADHD, 15 dyslexia) participated alongside their 12 language teachers. Quantitative measures included standardized receptive vocabulary assessments (adapted Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test for L2) and productive grammar tests, administered at three time points to capture growth trajectories.
AI-Driven Multilingual Grading Tools for Indian School Boards
The burgeoning diversity of India’s student population—speaking hundreds of languages and dialects—poses a formidable challenge to the fairness, consistency, and scalability of board examination grading. Manual evaluation of descriptive answers across multiple languages is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to variability arising from individual examiner biases, inconsistent application of rubrics, and differing proficiencies in regional scripts. These factors contribute to delays in result publication, erode confidence in assessment fairness, and place undue stress on educators. In response, recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning offer the promise of AI-driven grading systems capable of evaluating open-ended responses at scale, across many languages, with speed and consistency that rival or exceed human examiners. This manuscript presents a comprehensive study on the design, development, and evaluation of an AI-driven multilingual grading tool tailored for Indian school boards. Leveraging a transformer-based architecture fine-tuned on a corpus of 50,000 anonymized board-exam scripts in English, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, and Bengali, our prototype generates numeric scores mapped to established board rubrics. We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation involving: (1) a blind grading comparison on 1,000 held-out responses— each graded by two human examiners and the AI system—to assess inter-rater reliability using Cohen’s κ and Pearson’s correlation; (2) a structured survey of 200 educators and examiners across five states to gauge perceptions of consistency, fairness, turnaround time, and willingness to adopt AI support; and (3) semi-structured interviews with board officials and senior teachers to explore usability, transparency, and governance concerns. Quantitatively, the AI tool achieves a Cohen’s κ of 0.82 and Pearson’s r of 0.88 with the human consensus score, indicating strong agreement. Performance remains robust across languages (κ ≥ 0.78), though dialectal variations in Tamil and Marathi yield marginally lower alignment. Qualitatively, 74% of surveyed participants express readiness to integrate AI-assisted grading— provided mechanisms for human review and explainability exist—while 68% acknowledge persistent inconsistencies in peer-based manual grading. The AI system slashes mean grading time from 4.5 minutes per script to 0.5 minutes, projecting a 90% reduction in overall evaluation workload. We identify key technical and operational challenges: OCR errors on handwritten or non-standard scripts, model biases toward data-rich dialects, and the necessity for continuous retraining to prevent performance drift. Policy and governance recommendations emphasize student data privacy under India’s Personal Data Protection framework, an ethics oversight committee for AI deployment, examiner training modules for the AI interface, and periodic bias audits. Our study demonstrates that contextualized AI grading can enhance equity, efficiency, and transparency in India’s high-stakes examinations, laying the groundwork for broader multilingual and multimodal assessment innovations.
Linguistic Humor and Resistance in Dalit Autobiographies
Dalit autobiographies have long been recognized for their unflinching portrayals of caste oppression, yet the strategic deployment of humor within these texts remains underexplored. This study undertakes a rigorous examination of linguistic humor—encompassing incongruity, satire, parody, and self-deprecating devices—in three landmark Dalit life histories: Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan, Bama’s Karukku, and Urmila Pawar’s Aaydan. Grounded in critical Dalit theory and contemporary humor studies, it addresses two interrelated questions: (1) What forms of linguistic humor do Dalit autobiographers employ to resist caste hierarchies? and (2) How do readers perceive and respond to these humorous interventions in terms of empathy, critical engagement, and recognition of subversion? To answer these, a mixed-methods design combines qualitative close readings—coded according to Chiaro’s humor taxonomy—with a quantitative survey of 100 readers who have engaged with Dalit autobiographies in English translation. Participants rated ten representative humorous excerpts on scales of emotional impact, clarity of critique, empathy generation, perception of subversion, and likelihood of recommendation. Findings reveal a predominance of incongruity humor—juxtapositions that expose the absurdities of ritual—alongside strategic self-mockery that reclaims narrative agency and satirical parody that lampoons uppercaste discourse. Quantitatively, 88% of respondents identified these moments as acts of resistance, 76% reported heightened empathy, and 82% experienced both laughter and reflection. Correlational analyses show younger readers (under 30) report stronger emotional engagement, while academic readers emphasize clarity of critique. These results underscore humor’s multifaceted function: it humanizes trauma, destabilizes hegemony, builds collective solidarity, and serves pedagogical ends. The study concludes by outlining implications for Dalit literary criticism, subaltern pedagogy, and future research— including longitudinal reception studies and comparative work across regional languages.
Role of Vernacular MOOCs in Bridging Rural Skill Gaps
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as a transformative force in global education, democratizing access to high-quality learning resources. However, the dominance of English and other major world languages creates significant barriers for rural populations in multilingual nations, where proficiency in these languages is limited. Vernacular MOOCs—courses delivered in local or regional languages—seek to bridge this divide by offering contextually relevant instruction in learners’ mother tongues. This expanded study investigates the multifaceted impact of vernacular MOOCs on rural skill development in India, focusing on comprehension, engagement, completion, and practical application of acquired competencies. Employing a robust mixed-methods framework, the research integrates quantitative analytics from ten vernacular MOOCs across five languages with qualitative insights gathered from in-depth interviews and focus groups involving 60 rural learners. The quantitative component examines enrollment trends, completion rates, assessment performance, and time-to-completion metrics, while the qualitative arm explores learners’ perceptions of language usability, cultural relevance, infrastructural challenges, and livelihood outcomes. Findings reveal that vernacular MOOCs significantly outperform English-medium counterparts in enrollment (average of 1,200 vs. 800 learners per course), completion rates (48% vs. 32%), and assessment success (76% vs. 59%), with large effect sizes indicating meaningful differences. Qualitative data underscore that instruction in native languages reduces cognitive load, enhances motivation, and fosters confidence, enabling learners to translate theory into practice more effectively. Learners report leveraging acquired skills to initiate micro-enterprises, pursue further certifications, and contribute to local economic activities. Nonetheless, persistent hurdles—such as intermittent internet connectivity, limited device access, and varying levels of digital literacy—temper the overall impact, highlighting the need for complementary infrastructure investments. The study concludes with policy recommendations for integrating vernacular MOOCs into national skill-development programs, incentivizing platform providers to expand language offerings, and forging partnerships among government bodies, educational institutions, and technology stakeholders to create sustainable, inclusive learning ecosystems that empower rural communities.
