Rethinking Tourism –

With the coming together of exquisite natural attractions, sites of historical importance, communities with enriched and diverse cultural heritage, and architectural designs, any location possesses the ability to render a positive impact on the psychological state of a tourist. Through the experience of their interaction with the attraction settings the tourists who visit a location take with him a completely different mindset back to his home. Thus, tourism becomes one of the most essential and effective phenomenon for a state or a country in order to develop financially and mark its name on the list of tourist attraction sites.

People travel due to various reasons among which the common reasons include the pursuit of pleasure or commercial advancements. Depending on the interests of the tourists, tourism varies from nature tourism to food tourism to cultural tourism to religious tourism to medical tourism. Thus, promoting the destinations to potential tourists by selecting the target travelers through the means of digital innovations can lead the tourism sector. The modern tourism concept emerged in the 17th century and has been evolving since then. But in the past tourist attraction sites had been limited to a particular area. Lack of proper exploration has left many beautiful resources unexplored. Harnessing the value of such places can not only make the location open for visitors to add new knowledge with their personal level interactions but also generate funds, which could be further used for social purposes.

Responsible Tourism is another aspect every tourist and every state must focus on. Harold Goodwin, the father of responsible tourism, who authored a book o the same, defined responsible tourism as ‘making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit.   Being a traveler and experiencing joy out of the desired location becomes a one-sided affair. What if the tourists start being responsible for their own actions? This would not only serve them but also serve the environment, community, or economy as well. Responsible tourism goes hand in hand with sustainable development. Since we are living in a time of resource extinction, we must try to focus on matters to reduce environmental and social impacts that would lead to further crises.

Community upliftment and responsible tourism can be served on the same platter. Every community has its unique ethnic food, culture, and lifestyle. The State can try to create a space for the tourists in the community people and give them access to their local products. These local products, for example, products made of bamboo such as dustbins, can replace plastic bins. The delicately produced handicrafts serve as environment-friendly reusable products that would attract tourists and develop the economic condition of the community people. Moreover, tourists who mostly focus on nature tourism must or not be allowed to carry plastic packaging by offering alternative provisions for eco-friendly products.

Assam tourism sector has multiple scopes on various levels. The only thing that would help this sector grow is the proper execution of sustainable ideas.

Girl Child Education

While scrutinizing the statistics of the involvement of women, particularly girl child in sectors of education, what materialize is the precarious condition of their intellectual development. This has been one of the most overlooked state of affairs pertaining to societies governed by the sense of patriarchy and poverty. If we turn the pages of history, women had always been a subject of marginalisation and subjugation and their voices were neglected. Even when we look into the history of literature, the number of women authors as compared to their male counterpart is quite less. Lack of proper formal education and inferiority complex created by stereotypes made them subject. The girl child and women in general internalize these ideas and believe themselves inferior to men.            The dominant factor responsible for this condition of the girl child is the stereotypical structuring of the society which don’t allow women to venture out of the domestic rea...

Situating Godot in an Ecocritical Garden

Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’ has been, for long, read as a  prominent example of an absurdist play, dealing with the questions of an existential crisis. But with Beckett, it's best not to get tied down to one particular meaning.Recent scholarship has engaged some other plays of Beckett in the context of Ecocritiscm  Eco-criticism as a mode of studying literature enables the conceptualisation  of nature and natural world as imagined through literary texts.  Most critics have failed to read "Waiting for Godot" as a text that articulates deep concerns regarding an impending environmental crisis. Though ‘environment’ or ‘nature’ as a theme is not employed vividly in the play, Beckett’s setting of the play as dead and apocalypse-like landscapes have much to say about the growing anxieties of an environmental catastrophe. Torn and tarnished by wartime destruction, nature has lost its conventional power to console the threats caused by the war, and the ruination the...
