A fresh look at the geometric underpinnings of Einstein's Special and General Relativity has been driven by the ongoing conceptual difficulties with these theories, including simultaneity, curvature of spacetime, time dilation, and length contraction. For the purpose of addressing the Minkowskian model's inherent inconsistencies and interpretational challenges, this research suggests a Euclidean framework as an alternate formulation. This work shows that one need not invoke non-Euclidean spacetime curvature in order for relativistic effects to arise naturally from geometric relations by reinstating absolute Euclidean space and genuine temporal progression. .

A Structural Equation Model for Constructing the Factors of IPO Underpricing Determinants in the Indian Capital Market

Damala Rama Sekhar , Prof. Dr. A K Choudhary

CrossRef DOI URL : https://doi.org/10.31426/ijesti.2025.5.10.5820


This study examines IPO underpricing and long-term performance in the Indian capital market by analysing investor perceptions and key determinants influencing IPO pricing behaviour. Using primary data collected from 450 respondents and supported by structural equation modelling, the study finds that IPO underpricing is a widely perceived and systematic feature of the Indian market. Listing-day gains are viewed as clear evidence of underpricing and are found to benefit short-term investors more than long-term investors. Firm size, firm age, issue size, subscription rate, and market conditions significantly influence IPO pricing outcomes, while market volatility and underwriter reputation exert limited direct impact. The findings suggest that IPO underpricing in India is driven largely by investor psychology, demand management, and favourable market sentiment rather than pure pricing inefficiency. The study provides insights for investors, issuers, and regulators seeking to enhance IPO pricing efficiency and market transparency..

Intersecting Discourses of Caste, Christianity, and Nationalism in Indian Women Autobiographers of the Nationalist Period: Negotiations of Identity and Resistance

Naina Malhotra, Dr. N. M. Shah

CrossRef DOI URL : https://doi.org/10.31426/ijesti.2025.5.10.5824


This paper investigates the complex negotiations of identity and resistance in Indian women autobiographers of the nationalist period through the intersecting discourses of caste, Christianity, and nationalism in Maharashtra. Focusing on low-caste and Christian-convert narratives by Savitribai Phule, Muktabai, Lakshmibai Tilak, Pandita Ramabai, and Krupabai Sattianadhan, it analyses how missionary evangelism provided new discursive tools while simultaneously imposing Victorian ideals of domesticity and Christian virtue. Postcolonial and comparative discourse analysis reveals strategies of co-option, resistance, and ambivalent selfhood that allowed these women to challenge Brahminical hegemony without fully abandoning indigenous cultural frameworks. The study highlights the “leavening” impact of Christianity on low-caste women’s consciousness, showing how missionary education, medical missions, and egalitarian rhetoric served as instruments for critiquing caste while creating hybrid identities at the crossroads of colonial modernity and indigenous reform. By examining the polyphonic voices and palimpsestic layers in these life writings, the paper demonstrates that women’s autobiographical self-narration was never a simple acceptance or rejection of missionary influence but a sophisticated site of ongoing negotiation. The findings contribute to postcolonial gender studies by illuminating how caste, gender, and religious hybridity shaped female subjectivity in colonial India and continue to inform contemporary understandings of identity formation under intersecting oppressions..
