PORN IN POCKET: “RAPE ON ROAD” A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELATION AMONG MOBILE PHONES, PORNOGRAPHY, AND RAPE Vijay Jangra, M.A. (English), B.Ed., LL.B., PGDCBM, Independent Researcher Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.217 This study aims to help readers understand the relationship among mobile phones, pornography, and rape with special reference to India. It seeks to analyze the social conditions in which we are living and the manner in which mobile phones are misused, sometimes leading individuals towards criminal behavior. India is not only the second most populous country in the world but also has one of the largest populations of mobile and internet users. The internet has contracted the world into a small village, and people increasingly depend upon it for a wide range of activities. Earlier, internet access was largely limited to computers, which were not easily approachable for everyone. Mobile phones have not only brought the internet into every pocket but have also made pornographic content easily accessible. A large number of teenagers in India who use mobile phones have been exposed to pornographic material. Ethically and morally, watching pornography is often considered unacceptable, but an important question arises as to whether it is legal in India. Another crucial question is whether watching pornography contributes to an increase in rape cases. These issues came into sharp focus after the Nirbhya rape case in Delhi, which generated widespread public outrage and compelled the government to amend rape laws, resulting in the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2013. Despite such legal reforms, the number of rape cases has not declined significantly, and reports of sexual violence continue to appear almost daily in newspapers. Various reasons have been suggested by politicians and social commentators for such crimes, including westernization, short skirts, dating culture, and films. However, these explanations appear superficial. What is required is a fundamental change in social mentality towards women, recognizing them as equal human beings with the same dignity and status as men. This paper concludes by examining the relationship among mobile phones, pornography, and rape in an impartial manner and by suggesting possible solutions to the problem.

INFLUENCE OF GENDER DISPARITIES ON ECONOMY Aisha Khan, Graduate, ITM University Raipur (India) Shreya Ranjan, BB.A. LL.B., Semester 9, ITM University Raipur (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.114 An economy is a subject which is highly influenced by gender disparities, which as a result impacts prosperity, and development of a nation. In many developing nations, including India, the age-old issues like lack of access to education and opportunities in various spheres of society, the underutilization of women workforce, unequal pay, and rejection of the third gender is a hindrance to effective utilization of human resources that has become one of the major causes of their economies’ poor growth. This study explores the complex relationship between gender inequality and economics, focusing on the significant influence that gender-based discrepancies have on economic results. This study examines the complex aspects of gender differences in the field of economics using an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates viewpoints from feminist jurisprudence, sociology, philosophy and economics. We have uncovered the profound effects of these differences on people’s well-being in larger economic systems, in addition, the paper realizes the role of personal relationships, unequal wages, multi-tasking, general stigma against third gender as a root cause of gender biasness in India with reference to other economies. While gender equality is a crucial development objective per se, the economic engagement of women and third gender play a prominent role in stability and growth of an economy. The equal participation of different genders can accelerate the growth of a nation having a progressing economy. The research aims to uncover these problems and emphasizes how crucial it is to address gender inequality as a matter of social justice as well as a vital element of equitable and sustainable economic development.

ANTHOLOGY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES UNDER COPYRIGHT Amisha Prakash, LLM student, Chanakya National Law University Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In the course of the years, rapidly emerging technology have influenced the academic environment in many ways. Access to a variety of information is now simpler than ever.  Although technology development is a benefit, many issues arise. They are never overwhelming. Technological itself most frequently arrives with remedies Owing to technological developments, this accessibility has also created a pandora box of false and incorrect material accessible on many academic and non-academic sites. It is thus essential that correct and well investigated information be disseminated. Academic research is at stake here. Good academic research is also essential in the creation of well-written and comprehensive textbooks which may be utilised for academic purposes. The recent High Court decision in Delhi that acknowledged this concept was welcomed by students, Indian publishers, etc. as historical. This article would thus analyse the exemption to fair usage for educational or scholarly reasons. It also explains the Indian stance on copying, whether it constitutes a copyright violation in light of the current High Court decision in Delhi. Further this article will also analyse the implications of the case Delhi University which dealt with copyright law and fair use in context of authorial rights and academic access.
