Editorial Note

Abstract

On behalf of the Editorial Board

SABITA is the online journal for Humanities being launched by the Asutosh College. The name symbolises truth, wisdom and the creative principle. This e-journal will endeavour to incorporate peer-reviewed, original scholarly research articles on varied areas of Humanities, including language studies and literature, social sciences, management studies, and even a few conventional science subjects like Economics, Geography, and Psychology, especially as these disciplines are often classified under the umbrella of Humanities.

This inaugural issue is a combination of contributory articles by senior scholars and peer-reviewed articles by young researchers on diverse topics related to Indian politics, jurisprudence, social media, mental health, environmental Humanities, aesthetics, the World Wars, periodical literature, and so on.

SABITA has been prepared for online publication by the coordinated efforts of the Co-Editors- in-chief, Dr. Chandramalli Sengupta of the department of Bengali, Dr. Sraboni Roy of the department of English, Dr. Rina Kar Dutta of the department of Philosophy, Dr. Subhasri Ghosh of the department of History and Dr. Supriyo Das of the department of Business Administration, working in tandem with the Managing Editors and Associate Managing Editors as well as the technical support team whose contribution should not remain unacknowledged.

The Editorial Board thanks all the contributors for their scholarly articles, all esteemed members of the Advisory Board for their valuable advice, and all peer reviewers/ subject editors for finding time to evaluate the submissions.

SABITA, keeping true to the connotation of the name, hopes to publish bi-annually, scholarly articles on diverse areas of Humanities, thereby creating a platform for wide-ranging research in that field. It represents a sincere attempt on our part to foster engagement with, and nurture research in those branches of knowledge that directly relate to man as a sentient being, as a social, cultural, and political entity and in this perhaps ambitious enterprise, we look forward to the enthusiastic participation of scholars and academicians, both emerging and already well- known, who are spread across the country and beyond.
