Forensic linguistics and shared psychotic disorder are the two disciplines that can intersect in fascinating ways to aid criminal investigations and tragic outcomes linked to shared psychotic disorder. Forensic linguistics is the use of linguistic knowledge in addressing legal issues. It is an area at the junction of law that comes together to unravel important pieces of evidence. A shared psychotic disorder is a rare type of mental illness in which a healthy person starts to take on the delusions of someone who has a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia. Netflix documentary ‘House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths’ revisited the tragic incident that tied a knot between forensic psychology and forensic linguistics, in which the shared psychotic disorder is the phenomenon wherein a person who does not have any pre-existing mental health disorder comes to believe the delusions of others with a psychotic disorder. The Burari case, involving the death of eleven members of the Chundawat Bhatia family in Delhi, remains a puzzling event. Though called a “mass suicide” at first, the circumstances of the deaths, including the retrieval of handwritten diaries detailing elaborate ceremonies, have fueled speculation and debate. Taking to the point, this research paper examines the possible influence of shared psychotic disorder on the Burari tragedy through forensic linguistic analysis of the recovered diaries. By analyzing the language used in the diaries parallel to the incidents, this research study hopes to provide insights into the psychoanalysis that may lead to this mass suicide.

Prison Literature is a widening area of study in Literature. The works mainly talk about prison, jail, or any confinement. This paper explores the concept of prison, and how it confines and resists the mind and body of an individual. The paper uses a comparative study to analyse ‘Shawshank Redemption’, a prison movie, and ‘Stanford Prison Experiment’, a real-life prison study using Prison Literature as the theoretical framework. The researcher aims to explore how the prison institutionalizes the prisoners internally and externally, how the characters resist or conform to the confinement, and the prison culture, power dynamics, and punitive nature. The main focus, of this paper, is on how people react to confinement.

This paper takes a feminist look at Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 to critique femininity and sexism. It considers women’s representation, violence, and the power relations between male and female characters. Looking closely at how The Bride is presented as an assertive woman, the paper claims that as a byproduct, the films enforce the objectification of women, the male gaze, and the romanticism of violence against women. This research study explores the relationship between empowerment and violence as performed by the imagery, of the story in the Kill Bill films. The paper claims that through these challenges, Tarantino’s portrayal of gender is complex and nuanced as he can balance between empowerment and exploitation in his characters. The paper examines these conflicts in the portrayals of gender politics in film within the scope of the current climate.

A comparative study of Rock n Roll and K-POP through popular culture focusing on “The Beatles” and “The BTS.” The study examines the identity of two generations from the perspective of popular culture. It also investigates the historical, cultural, and economic background of two generations and the changing process of the production and consumption of popular music of that Era. The study analyzes their musical styles, lyrical themes, fan engagement strategies, and the ways in which they have influenced popular culture globally. Popular culture is the set of practices, beliefs, and objects that embody the most broadly shared meanings of a social system. Music, one of the most important elements of the culture, has emerged with a unique style. In today’s improving and ever-changing conditions, music has become an element which almost everybody in society encounters, benefits from and
