Feudalism in early medieval Kashmir Rashid Manzoor Bhat Cogent Arts and Humanities, 2024 The study attempts to analyse the nature of feudalism in Early Medieval Kashmir, presenting an exploration of its social and political dynamics. Contrary to typical European feudal models, Kashmir’s feudal system was characterised by a unique interplay between the monarch, feudal chiefs (Samantas), Damaras, and peasants. The research challenges traditional interpretations, such as Colonel James Tod’s comparison of Rajput governance with European feudalism, by introducing concepts like ‘feudalism from above’ and ‘feudalism from below’. Utilising a historical and analytical methodology, the study scrutinizes primary sources like the Rajatarangini and incorporates diverse perspectives from sociology, economics, and political science. It revisits various feudal aspects such as land ownership, military service, and social transformations, particularly focusing on the Damaras’ role and the centralisation of power under the monarch. The study sheds light on the enduring impact of feudalism in contemporary Kashmir, noting the survival of the Damaras and Lavanyas as agricultural castes in modern times. It critically assesses the notion of feudalism as a monolithic construct, emphasising its adaptive nature and contextual variations. The study offers a distinct interpretation of Kashmir’s feudal structure, indicating its deviation from classical models due to the central role of the monarch, the lack of strong hereditary trends, and the region’s specific socio-political context.
Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) On the Curriculum Upgradation and Career Aspiration of Students RASHID MANZOOR BHAT Qubahan Academic Journal, 2022 IT encompasses a wide range of functionalities, including communication, processing, reservations, and multimedia. Information and communication technology (ICT) or information technology and communication (ITC) refers to the primary role that communication networks perform. Modern educational systems make extensive use of ICT (information and communication technology). Because of its adaptability and the potential to foster connections among students, ICT plays a significant role in advancing academic understanding. Student interest and attitude toward their future profession or occupation is linked to their aim for a specific vocation. For students, career desire is a combination of the ability to identify and create objectives for the future, as well as to be inspired in the present toward those goals. Indigenous students are looking at a variety of options for their futures in the digital era. In the ICT industry, new technologies are continually being launched. Social Network Manager, IT Architect, Knowledge Management and Web Specialist are just few of the new ICT roles created by new technology. There are still existing job titles like "Systems Analyst," "Project Manager," and "Programmer."
