Critical Discourse Analysis of Lord Macaulay's Educational Policy Introduction Mughal rulers' inability to realise the importance of education and research particularly in the field of science provided an opportunity for Britishers to intellectually and physically invade the Indian Sub-continent.

From Bipolar to Multipolar World  Rationale In the context of the global and political history since the Second World War, this article investigates the idea of human agency and the finiteness of human planning.

This bipolarity led to the formation of the cold war which persisted until 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated and paved way for a unipolar world order dominated by the United States. The article then analyses how the USA has tried to sustain its dominance and influence through the establishment of NATO and how Muslim leaders have also tried and failed to form a counter alliance. However, it emphasi...
