In education, ‘inclusion’ refers to the placement and education of children with disabilities in regular education classrooms with children of the same age who do not have disabilities. Inclusive education refers to an academic system that allows special education students to become included in mainstream classes along with their peers. It is a new approach towards educating the children with disability and learning difficulties with that of normal ones within the same roof. It brings all students together in one classroom and community, regardless of their strengths or weaknesses in any area. Inclusive education also demands preparation of teachers to suit their needs in the classroom and society. Education For All (EFA) stressed inclusive education in school. But it is not achieved due to lack of competent teachers. The teachers also need training in on inclusive education. Now there is also a trend of culture of inclusion in the higher education system. The increasing emphasis on inclusion in higher education around the world is due to the globalization and internationalization and partly due to the ongoing democratization of higher education and also to the emergence of lifelong learning as a human right. The main reform of Indian higher education would be to give emphasis on inclusiveness in higher education. The present study throws its light on the various aspects of inclusive education in the whole world.

Foreign language students are potentially in doing code mixing. These students mix the code in their daily interaction with their friends and their lectures. Interestingly, they also mix the code in their social media interaction, such as Facebook. Reflecting up to this issue, this study was interested in investigating code mixing phenomenon in the Facebook interaction among the English Education pre-service teacher, students in Bali, Indonesia, including the forms and reason of using code mixing. By documenting their Facebook interaction and distributing questionnaires to them purposively, the forms and reasons of code mixing were discovered. From the documentation archived, four forms of code mixing were identified; word, phrase, hybrid, and clause. Moreover, from the questionnaire distributed, the reasons of using code mixing were gained: spontaneous action, the lack of translation, medium of training in English, to emphasize word or sentence, and only want to mix it which indicated having no certain reason. Uniquely, they were also able to mix up three codes: Balinese Language, Indonesian Language, and English. Therefore, English Education pre-service teacher, students need to reflect their habits in mixing codes since it may influence their way in communication with others and teaching technique.

Article 45 of the Indian constitution declares “The State shall endeavor to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of this Constitution, for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.” However, it was only in 2002, that the 86th amendment to the Indian constitution made free and compulsory primary education a fundamental right. The legislation envisaged by this amendment cleared its final hurdle seven years later as the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009 came into force, which for the first time in India’s history made primary education a legal right. The RTE Act provides a legal framework to provide free and compulsory education for all children age 6- 14. It presents a tremendous opportunity to overhaul India’s education system and change the inequities that exist within it. The act is enormous in its scope, with various provisions that covers aspects of school management, curriculum, teacher qualifications, pupil- teacher ratio, physical infrastructure, as well as many other provisions regarding access, equity and quality. Moreover the Act also specifies proper mechanisms for its implementation. (Schechter, 2011)

Rural tourism is a sustainable model holding benefit for the host communities of the Himalayan destinations of North East India providing a satisfying experience to the tourists, visitors, travel writers, tour operators and researchers (Dutta &Barua, 2016) where the homestay providers, guides , and home-based food providers serve as exchanges for leisure interests of ethnic cuisines, beverages, souvenir, craft sales, and natural attractions of the destinations. This model ensures that a part of the tourism receipts are provisioned for initiatives like guest management, conservation, advocacy programs, and capacity building of the actors of the destination. As for cultural exchange between demand side and supply side, understanding and proficiency of non-native languages for these actors is a must. The non-native languages are English, Bengali, Assamese,and, and Hindi and there could be an inherent urge for the demand side to converse in other languages as well. The conversation skill of the host community, the ease of communication with homestay providers and the foreign language skills of the regional guides are three pragmatic competences having positive correlation to the comfort level of the tourists, travel writers, researchers and tour operators visiting Himalayan destinations.

Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was born in England. He was a mathematician by his study but using the mathematics for the purpose of logic he turned to be a most distinguished modern analytic philosopher. He has written most of his works on social issues. He came to be a lecturer in mathematics. However, he lost it because of his pacifist views in the World War 1. He lectured in England. He did work in the USA too but it was his imputed sexual immorality that a court in theUSA denied his lectureship at the City College of New York. In one of his works, he wrote a proposal that temporary marriage should be allowed for undergraduates. Nevertheless, he stayed in America lecturing in different universities, and finally, in 1994, he regained his post at Cambridge University. He lived a pacifist throughout his life and later advocated for nuclear disarmament, too. In 1950, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. He is still known as a most controversial writer of the twentieth century. He is widely known as a philosopher and social critic. His works touch all aspects of human life. Russell's works vary in theme. Yet it is known fact that his philosophy is very controversial, too. No work has absolute truth. Most works are likely to go against convention. His first major work was The Principles of Mathematics (1900). Having collaborated with Alfred North Whitehead he wrote Principal Mathematical. It is the most important work in mathematics in three volumes. He has attempted to show that mathematics comes from logic. Therefore, the principles of pure logic are needed to understand mathematics. Throughout his life he carried on his pacifist views and for his views, he suffered imprisonment, libelous attack and he also lost his lectureship in philosophy at Cambridge in 1916. There are many other works that he wrote besides mathematics – Our Knowledge of the External World (1920), Analysis of Mind (1921), Marriage and Morals (1992), Education and the Social Order (1932).

Islamic finance has emerged as a fastest growing sector in the global financial services industry. Undoubtedly Islamic banks have grown recently in the Muslim world but they constitute a small share of the global banking system. While on the one hand, Islam is the fastest growing conviction in the world, the western human race on the other hand, continues to get wrong in the amity process and continues to hold negative stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam due to the media, prejudice, and ignorance.

India is a multicultural country which hosts different cultures and ideologies. In India, transgenders have a very ancient history. They used to enjoy a good position and adorned different official posts in pre-colonial India. Colonization in India bought a lot of change in the lives of transgenders. They were named and treated as criminals and different laws were brought against them. This resulted in the marginalization of transgenders in society. However, the recent developments in India are a ray of hope for transgenders. The 2014 verdict of the Supreme Court recognizing transgenders as third-gender and providing reservations to them seems promising. The present paper compares the first transgender autobiography of India by Living Smile Vidya “I am Vidya” and biography of India’s First Transgender Principal Manobi Bandyopadhyay “A Gift of Goddess Lakshmi”.
