AI-Driven Cybersecurity: Emerging Threats and Defensive Strategies with Focus on College Youth in Delhi

2026-01-24T12:12:36+00:00

The accelerating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into digital infrastructures has reshaped the cybersecurity landscape, introducing both unprecedented opportunities and complex vulnerabilities. In Delhi, where youth and institutions increasingly depend on digital platforms, the risks posed by AI-driven threats are particularly pronounced. Emerging challenges such as deepfakes, prompt injection attacks, phishing schemes, scholarship scams, and institutional breaches highlight the evolving sophistication of malicious actors. The proliferation of spam calls and cyberfrauds further undermines trust in communication systems, exposing individuals to financial loss and psychological distress. At the same time, AI is being leveraged as a defensive tool, enabling proactive detection, anomaly monitoring, and real-time mitigation of cyber risks. Local initiatives in Delhi—including awareness campaigns, student-led programs, and curriculum integration—demonstrate the importance of fostering digital resilience among young populations. This paper critically examines the dual role of AI as both a driver of new threats and a cornerstone of modern defenses, emphasizing the need for collaborative strategies that unite technology, policy, and education to safeguard the digital future.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA DECIMATE THE BRITISH ARMY, THE FAILURE OF THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN IN 1807

2026-03-19T00:38:32+00:00

In the British campaign of 1807, the leaders lacked experience with Egyptian weather conditions, as the campaign occurred during the Khamasin wind season, which was capable of disrupting the British army. Poor planning led the invading forces to encamp at Lake Mariout at the beginning of the campaign and at Lake Edku during the second attack on Rosetta. This was accompanied by a horrific spread of mosquitoes in Lake Edku, which was the base for the army's ships. Their commander, Fraser, took refuge there, sitting on one of the ships. He did not participate in the battle in which the people of Rosetta defeated the British army. He was attacked by mosquitoes, which spread malaria among the invading forces, forcing them to flee, leading to the subsequent humiliating withdrawal from Egypt. This is the main theme of the research, which clearly demonstrates that natural and climatic conditions can defeat the mightiest armies. The British army, who committed the most horrific massacres - without mercy - during the invasion of Egypt were unable to prevent divine vengeance by confronting an enemy they had no plans to resist.

THE PREPARATORY STAGE FOR THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN AGAINST EGYPT 1897, ANALYTICAL STUDY

2026-03-19T00:48:39+00:00

This research examines the preparatory stage for the British campaign against Egypt in 1897, through an analytical study. It does so by analyzing sixteen letters exchanged between the British political and military leadership and the campaign forces to prepare for the attack on Egypt. The aim was to achieve military objectives and occupy Egyptian ports, following coordination with the Ottoman Sultan and the Mamluks under the leadership of Muhammad Bey al-Alfi. These letters, dated between November 21, 1806, and February 28, 1807, encompass all preparations for the campaign.

The research addresses this topic through two main sections: the first examines the text of the sixteen letters, and the second presents an analytical study of the letters during the preparatory stage for the campaign against Egypt.

Study of the autobiography of om Prakash Valmiki and Urmila Pawar

2026-04-14T05:47:53+00:00

This study explores the autobiographies of Om Prakash Valmiki’s Joothan and Urmila Pawar’s The Weave of My Life as powerful narratives of Dalit identity, resistance, and self-realization. Both authors chronicle their journeys from social marginalization to self-assertion, highlighting the deeply entrenched caste and gender hierarchies in Indian society. Valmiki’s Joothan presents a male Dalit experience shaped by untouchability, humiliation, and a relentless struggle for education and dignity. In contrast, Pawar’s The Weave of My Life foregrounds the intersection of caste and gender, portraying the double oppression faced by Dalit women. Through her engagement with the women’s movement and Dalit activism, Pawar weaves a complex narrative of empowerment that challenges both patriarchal and casteist structures.

Scars of Empire: Colonial Violence and Memory in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart

2026-04-18T11:34:51+00:00

This study endeavours to perform lasting psychological and cultural effects of colonialism in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart using postcolonial trauma theory and memory studies. Previous studies have mainly focused on the novel as a story about cultural nationalism, resistance, and identity. This study takes a different approach by viewing it as a trauma narrative that records the shared and psychological wounds inflicted on Igbo society by imperial control. Instead of focusing on Achebe’s anthropological details or language recovery, this paper explores how colonial violence acts as a traumatic break that threatens both individual awareness and community unity. Using the theoretical frameworks of Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory, Michael Rothberg’s multidirectional memory, and Frantz Fanon’s postcolonial psychology, this study places Achebe’s novel in a larger exploration about historical trauma and cultural memory. It argues that Things Fall Apart re-establishes the wounded memory of colonization through oral traditions, narrative silences, and symbolic exploitations. This transforms storytelling into a means of cultural survival. In terms of methodology, the research uses qualitative, interpretative textual analysis. It combines close reading with theory to identify moments of trauma and resistance in the novel’s structure, imagery, and character psychology. Ultimately, this study adds a new perspective to Achebe criticism. It shows how Things Fall Apart serves as a literary site of memory. Here, the effects of empire are narrated, mourned, and overcome. This positions Achebe not just as a cultural historian but also as a psychological story-teller of postcolonial suffering and recovery.

Philosophical inquiry into intelligence, cognition, consciousness and the nature of artificial minds

2026-04-21T10:38:27+00:00

This paper conducts philosophical inquiry into the essence of intelligence, cognition and consciousness, probing the enigmatic nature the paper undertakes a philosophical inquiry into the intertwined concept of intelligence, cognition, consciousness, and the emerging possibility of artificial minds.

Drawing from classical and contemporary philosophy of mind, the study interrogates weather artificial systems can meaningfully possess mental states or merely simulates them. The investigation situates modern artificial intelligence with in a broader intellectual lineage extending from René Descartes dualism and Immanuel Kantś transcendental account of cognition to contemporary debates such as Jhon Searle’s Chinese Room argument and David Chalmer’s formulation of the “hard problem” of consciousness by synthesizing perspectives from cognitive science, phenomenology, and computational theory, the paper explores whether intelligence should be understood as functional problem solving capacity, embodied cognition, or a phenomenon inseparable from cognitive sciences phenomenology and computational theory. The study views recent advances in machine learning as provocations for philosophical reflection rather than final answers it discusses a duel between mind and body therefore understanding AI is not just technical issue but deep philosophical inquiry into nature of mind.
