DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN
Reflection on timeless, ingrained sacred principles continues to hold relevance in our lives, extending to the realm of leadership development. The contemporary digital age and the advent of the fourth industrial era are reshaping the mindset of individuals, with leaders being no exception. The unfamiliarity of the digital age to the majority, coupled with a skill set that eludes many, has become the pivotal factor determining success or failure. In today's global economies, be they large or small, capitalist, socialist, or mixed, the pursuit of surplus wealth remains a guiding principle. Historical ideologies such as Marxism, Socialism, Capitalism, and laissez-faire have evolved, giving way to crony capitalism characterized by adaptability and restructuring according to needs. Consumerism, influencing tastes, preferences, and spending power, further shapes how individuals manage their finances. Consequently, leadership, once rooted in the age-old concept of "divine leadership" and determined by democratic processes in most countries, now revolves around the principles of "situational leadership. "This discussion aims not to critique the flaws that have developed over the years but to acknowledge the new normal embraced by individuals of all professions. Leaders, from the smallest community positions to heads of state, have shifted their perspectives on life. The advent of powerful social media, facilitated by digital devices seamlessly connected and instantly streaming information, serves as a constant check on nearly everything and everyone. Leadership roles in organizations, ranging from elementary schools to healthcare centres to the highest political offices, are no longer defined solely by titles or designations. Instead, they hinge on personal charisma and the ability to resonate with the hearts of the people, albeit not without encountering challenges. 2. Objectives of the study : To recollect and reinvigorate the leadership thought process for further leadership skills. To triangulate various important age-old stimulating through-provoking sacred verses that can motivate modern leaders. To infuse positivity for leaders that improve their outlook towards life.

DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN
In the face of challenges such as COVID-19, SARS, H1N1, and other pandemics, a phenomenon known as "Luddites" has emerged. While the term is often deemed unfair and inaccurate, it persists in the lexicon of the global HR community. The recent tumultuous environment, brought about by the forces of nature, has exacerbated the disappearance of commonly cited HR issues, prompting a shift in the perspectives of HR professionals worldwide during the ongoing pandemic season. The changing landscape has led the entire global Human Resources community to reassess their views on professional life and its impact on personal growth and societal contributions. To comprehend the concept of Luddites, it is essential to recognize it as a pejorative term describing individuals who resist the adoption of new technologies, processes, or ideas due to the fear of job loss. Contrary to their concerns, it is crucial to emphasize that new technologies, work methods, and innovative processes do not inherently result in long-term unemployment. Instead, they tend to adjust to temporary structural unemployment. This research study aims to delve into the prevailing Luddite mindset rooted in historical actions driven by the fear of job loss. The analysis focuses on exploring various Luddite fallacies within HR models globally and seeks to classify functional models versus application models suitable for developing Sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) models in the present scenario. It aims to elucidate that the Luddite fallacy has overlooked the "Compensational Effects" associated with technological developments during any pandemic or when introduced into the work culture.

DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN
The nature of HR workflow has undergone a technological metamorphosis, and its application has become more data-driven and data-tracking than, the traditional sorting of good to bad one. The analogue is replaced with digital, supported by a sweeping speed of process-driven, unimaginably intelligent, and hardcore algorithmic data-driven, that delivers results to utmost perfection. HR metrics act as the neural centre's role to assist the HR decisions rather than a people-oriented approach. The qualitative factors of HR as a process are digitalized, tracking the process by classifying structured from unstructured data to a concrete decision-making point, with utmost accuracy. The data processing happens with artificial intelligence, augmented with an automated tracking system, centralising the queuing aspect algorithmically, rather than relying only on the human mind. The applications are tracked, sorted, and meticulously calculated, with predictive analysis of various HR elements in seconds using (AI) Artificial Intelligence. The precision with clarity in deciding for hiring to fire an employee are predicted, sorted, differentiated, ideated and iterated to aid in the decision-making table for the HR professionals. Such is the situation of HR work today. The growth and applications of AI, though not new, the way AI progressed, deserves a revisit, and that is what is making AI new, though AI originated in the 1950s, then a nascent concept, to the present state is a metamorphosis. The applications of AI in various fields including HR are phenomena. The increasing application, with the use of AI, has made AI indispensable, in the making of industrial revolution 4.0. The unpredictable means of growth of AI and its foray into all kinds of industries are making it uncontrollable, in certain spheres of the industrial revolution, not to

STRATEGIC VALUE ECOSYSTEMS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) PLATFORMS
2024 •
DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN DR.C.KARTHIKEYAN
Value Creation of HR and its impact on the business; Most the organizations prioritise "Value" ecosystem as its fulcrum, and script their vision and mission with their policies, to co-create a value ecosystem , which otherwise is a little difficult (Chugh& Ritesh June 2014). The key strategic issues for the organizations are demarcated, such as the process domain and people domain, and how these domains integrate to impact the organisation's key strategic objectives (Draganidis, F., & Mentzas, G. 2006). The AI would also add to the clarity in setting up goals and this can be done with the help of HR metrics and KPI dashboards, to indicate the levels of operational efficacy, and its inclination to the vision and mission of the organization, and with AI coming into place, the integration to others intrinsic and intangible factors such as Key Performance Indicators (automated with AI) will fall in place(Bartram, D. 2005). HR metrics combined with the following KPIs will decide the future of the value chain. 2. Objectives of the study: To learn the evolving AI-supported HR value ecosystem existing and practised across the world, to arrive at functional models suitable for Structural Developments(Homer, M. 2001),in autocratic HR functions. Sub Objectives: (i) To conceptualise the evolution of autocratic implications in HR models for the AI platforms and its levels of functional practices in AI platforms.

The Concept of Self in Interpersonal Communication.
2024 •
Dr. Sweta Ghosh
The paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between communication, self-theory, and interpersonal dynamics. It begins by addressing the omnipresence of communication in human life. Communication, an integral aspect of human life, permeates all spheres of existence, encompassing both intrapersonal reflections and interpersonal interactions. The paper further explores the dilemma of communication, delineating between self-confirmation needs and those reliant on external validation. Then, the concept of self is examined, highlighting its formation through cognitive processes and social interactions, and its continuous evolution through experiences and developmental processes. The study delves into the crucial aspect of self-maintenance in communication, elucidating strategies individuals employ to safeguard their self-worth in interpersonal interactions. It discusses the role of personal characteristics, such as knowledge, motives, attitudes, personality traits, and emotions, in shaping communication dynamics and influencing interpersonal interactions. Moreover, the paper discusses the purpose of interpersonal communication, which emphasizes on self-awareness enhancement, social relationship improvement, and personal development. It distinguishes interpersonal communication from casual conversation and also explores the significance of interpersonal communication in building personal characteristics and fostering self-identification. Overall, the paper offers valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of communication and its profound implications for self-development, social connection, collective well-being and enriched lived experiences.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY Rabindranath Tagore's 'The Cabuliwallah': A Dialogic Interpretation
Sunit Barui
The activities and curious prattles of a five-year-old girl Mini, the heroine of this story ,brings into sharp focus the multi-dimensional interactions of the discourses of the adult's and the child's world with dramatic intensity, thus liberating it from a cosy assumption of a culturally and politically innocent children's bed time story. The narrative journey ,though brief ,is tortuous enough , to propel the discourses of the narrator, Mini, Mini's mother and Rahaman, the Cabuliwallah, to enter a dialogic field. These voices , in the course of the linear progression of time and in consonance with the slice of life that is represented in this story, are few in number , but stratified culturally as well as psychologically. Thus voices are diverse and maintain their relative autonomy to satisfy the requirement of the pre-existence of differences for the operation of 'dialogue' in a social space. As Clark and Holquist points out in their seminal introduction to the life and thought of Mikhail Bakhtin, 'dialogue', the fundamental concept of Bakhtin's poetics builds upon the model of our everyday conversational dialogue. Bakhtin himself clarifies further : Dialogic relationships are possible not only among whole (relatively whole) utterances; a dialogic approach is possible toward any signifying part of an utterance, even toward an individual word, if that word is perceived not as the impersonal word of language but as a sign of someone else's semantic position. (Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics,p-3) One of the most fascinating of Bakhtin's tropes for the operation of 'dialogism' is that of a bridge. This bridge connects not only the speaker and his or her interlocutor, but also individual words in a speech-act and forms a ' shared territory'. To elaborate a bit in the literary critical context, we may discover dialogue between characters, between a character and the narrator, and also within a single character's speech. Lynne Pearce, an eminent Bakhtin scholar observes in his essay " Bakhtin and the dialogic principle " : At its most profound, Bakhtin's dialogic principle thus teaches us that all words, all sentences, are oriented toward someone else's speech, regardless of whether that 'other' is present in the text or not.As he observes in The Dialogic Imagination (1984), all words , both in 'living conversation' and in written texts are 'oriented' towards a response of some kind. Bakhtin's wide variety of speech types are further deftly summarized by David Lodge into three broad categories: (1) the direct speech of the author; (2) the represented speech of the characters; and (3) doubly oriented or doubly voiced speech. Bakhtin pointed out the sub-categories of 'double-voiced' discourse and the most potential and frequently operative ones of them are: (1) stylization; (2) skaz; (3) parody; and (4) 'hidden polemic'. Exemplifying substantially from Doestoevsky's notes from the Underground Bakhtin refers the term 'hidden polemic' to those words and utterances that Lynne Pearce points out ' are actively, and often aggressively, in dialogue with other words or utterances not present in the text and which they try to defend themselves against'. Abstract: The present article endeavours to read a classic Tagore short story 'The Cabuliwallah' in the light of Bakhtinian dialogic criticism. In Mikhail Bakhtin's critical pronouncements 'dialogue' informs any cultural-linguistic communication or interaction. Difference is the prerequisite for a ' dialogue'. Differences are negotiated or addressed in the act of ' dialogue'. The philosophic core of 'dialogism' is essentially concerned with the theory of communication and meaning production in cultural domain. Though envisioned originally as a revolutionary alternative aesthetics by Bakhtin himself , it has been doing rounds across disciplines as an expedient ,yet fashionable explanatory framework for addressing the political import of any socio-cultural phenomenon, ever since it got currency in the west in the 1980s. Notwithstanding its specific literary-historical as well as political context in its provenance, dialogic perspective is being applied to other literary forms alongside novel , cutting across the traditional historical and geographical boundaries with varying degrees of critical satisfaction. Tagore's 'The Cabuliwallah', within a limited compass of its narrative space and time, produces a rich dialogic interaction of culturally stratified and politically inscribed voices and its multi-accentual discourses demonstrate the text's amenability to the application of other attendant Bakhtinian concepts like 'polyphony', 'heteroglossia' and 'the carnivalesque'.
Impact of Technology on ELT: A Comparative View of Past and Present Bangladeshi ESL Teachers
Md Arman
Educational technology is as comprehensive as education itself. Today highly sophisticated technology is used in language teaching broadly, particularly in the post-COVID-19 period. During the pandemic, schools were shut down in the first phase but in the second phase when the situation was taking a long time, schools started opening one after another. Though they opened schools, giving physical classes was almost impossible. This was a good chance for the online platforms, Zoom, Google Classroom, Moodle, ClassDojo, etc., to offer their services for conducting classes or other academic activities. Students and teachers all over the world witnessed the rise of educational tools and software extensively and very fast. Everyone had to adapt to the new form of teaching practice. After the COVID-19 situation is over, though everyone returned to the physical class, an online class is a good option. If anything like COVID-19 hits us again, it is sure that learners and teachers will not waste a moment thinking about what to do and how to conduct classes and other activities because of the availability of educational technology and tools (software, websites, internet, etc.) which was a matter of tension during COVID-19, and before the pendant, it was not an issue to think about. Now everyone is used to online classes and examinations. Today they are using several instruments, video, live streaming, and even recording online classes so that the students who miss them can watch them later. The attitude of ESL teachers was not the same two decades ago in Bangladesh. The idea about technology for language teaching or learning, or the usage of technology in language teaching classes has changed widely. Once educational technology was meant very narrowly and was confined to some so-called advanced technologies while today it is beyond the thought of the ancient ESL teachers where the L2 teaching technology reached. For example, an L2 learner from Bangladesh can join directly the class of a teacher who is offering it sitting in the USA. They may never meet in their lifetime but teaching and learning are happening very effectively. The technology and tools used for teaching and learning language must not be confused with electronic gadgets. Today technology is not only concerned with the design and curricula evaluation, it
