Baidya's essay explores certain aspects of cultural exchange and the modes of reception and adaptation of any cultural product in the context of popular culture in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The article concentrates on the zone of popular culture of larger Bengal, i.e., the areas in East India including Bangladesh, where Bangla is the official language. Here the history of a popular song, "Tuni'r Ma," is used to exemplify the holistic understanding of the dynamics involved in the process of cultural reconciliation. The song leads to a discussion of aesthetics and gender theory that explores the conflict between popular and serious culture on the basis of taste. Conventional academic ideas generally link progressive thinking to serious cultural practice. But this essay confronts the hegemonic concept of culture and sheds light on an eclectic area of popular culture that is more prevalent in society. Thus, it might instigate a rational alternative to conventional criticism.

The article examines the ambiguities and complexities in India's Iran policy. This is an attempt to understand India's relations with West Asia through the prism of India's Iran policy. This article hypothesizes that India's Iran policy is the prisoner of India's ambitions and its relations with major powers vis-à-vis other West Asian actors. In a multi-layered approach, the article captures tensions between policy and politics. Prior to the signing of Iranian Nuclear Deal, Iran–India relations suffered due to US pressure and India could not forge independent policy towards Iran. At this point of time, situation is not much different. The article is an attempt to understand why India has failed to maintain the fine balance between different actors in West Asia's political scape.
