This paper studied the recent updates and changes that happened due to the widespread of modern technology, focusing on the influence of digital tools, artificial intelligence, social media, and other new media platforms. Quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were used in this research to bring the impact of modern technology on new language development, language diversity, and communication designs. The data for this research was collected from those Indians who migrated to Western countries for higher studies and better job opportunities, as well as from their friends and family members. They regularly connect to friends and family members over digital platforms, which may result in the evolution of their traditional language changes. The findings of this research highlight the dynamic relationship between digital interactions, current language, and digital culture. Today, communication and interaction do not have any barriers because of the evolution of global language into a digital metamorphosis. More than syntax symbols and modern nuances communicate in digital platforms. The change in language leads to cultural changes, and it is an important area to study and evaluate the modern changes in our communication medium. This research also provides valuable information in the field of language and technology and paves the way for further research in this rapidly developing field. Contribution/ Originality: This study highlights the impact of modern technologies, including digital tools, artificial intelligence, social media, and new media, on language development and cultural change, particularly in the context of the Indian diaspora. This study focuses on the intersection of technology, language, and culture in a specific way, apart from previous research in this area. 1. INTRODUCTION The proliferation of digital technologies, particularly smartphones and tablets, and the widespread use of Internet-enabled devices, has ushered in an era of unprecedented connectivity and rapid communication across geographic and cultural boundaries. The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented technological revolution, which has entered every aspect of human life where language and communication are used. The advent of modern technology has had a profound impact on the world's linguistic landscape, cha nging how people communicate and transcend borders and cultures.

Economic inequality and racial discrimination are social problems that talk about the poor people's plight at the margin, away from the power structure's centre. It is a concern of contemporary relevance and, therefore, calls for a more in-depth investigation. The theme of socioeconomic disparity manifests the seamier side of civilization, but coping with these problems bring dignity. The Grass is Singing shows the horrific effects of socioeconomic disparity on both the white colonial rulers and southern Africa's black populations. The novel is a chronicle of apartheid and late capitalism in the life of Southern Rhodesian society. This novel is a tragic novel portraying a failed marriage, racial and economic discrimination in Southern Rhodesia. Lessing, as a writer, prefers to write about reality instead of creating some imaginary world. She has always been against the ill or inhuman treatment of whites to their black servants. She has tried to show the possession of economically weaker sections of society. The white people ill-treat the black labor class, and their male counterparts ill-treat the females. The present study focuses on the plight of economically more impoverished sections of Southern Rhodesia society.

Though he had written a total of 14 novels, Slaughterhouse-Five published on 31 March 1969 is regarded as his masterpiece, because of its anti-war narration and pacifistic approach. He is a great philanthropist and anti-war writer of the 20th century. This novel depicts his own war experiences and memoirs during World War II and received good acceptance across the world. Human history had been shaped through war and its atrocities. Various wars and conflicts formed humanity with certain values and ethics. Pacifism is such a quality that opposes war and always promote peace among people and nations. The novel Slaughterhouse-Five depicts the war's absurdities and atrocities. The major victims of any war are the soldiers, they often suffer a lot during the outbreak of war. This paper mainly focuses on the pacifist approach of the novel Slaughterhouse-Five. Throughout the novel, Vonnegut mocks the stupidities of human beings who are crazy in war. The ultimate result of any war is destruction, and human suffering, Vonnegut does not directly promote and exhorts pacifism in this novel instead he is revealing the stupidities of the war with humour and heartfelt narration.

Therefore, the features of liminality are indeed to replace the outside chaos with an order of the inside, having radicalized and brought to exhaustion doubt and scepticism through personal and collective reflexivity. In this sense, the evolution of introspection in the mid-seventeenth century is rightly regarded as forbearer to the Enlightenment, and Hobbes must beyond doubt be considered as path-breaking transitional figures toward European modernity.

The Grapes of Wrath portrays the plight of the working class during the Great Depression (1929). It highlights the problems faced by the farmers and migrant workers. The novel exposes the dehumanized and antipeople nature of the American economy, especially the financial institutions. The story is about the agricultural labourers whose livelihood has been taken away by machines and technology. They became jobless and shorn of resources for their survival. It is a story of the dispossessed Oklahoma family and their struggle to carve out a new life in California at the height of the Great Depression. Steinbeck is not openly calling for revolution or relying entirely on attacking the rich or supporting the poor; he is merely struggling to find a way to illustrate the necessity of one man to be willing and able to rely on another for support. The present paper focuses on the plight of economically underprivileged sections of society during the Great Depression era.

The tale of the female characters is however written within the patriarchal boundaries, the roots of which can be witnessed in the event of the liberation of the Shero. The idea is to examine the power dynamics in social, political and cultural spheres surrounding the shero are constructed in modern fiction, also, while analyzing from this perspective, the ‘Shero’ of the selected texts regenerates and rises from the ascribed inferiority based upon her ‘Karmic Past’ which acted as the medium of oppression. However, it is noted that despite Tripathi’s marvelous attempt at her liberation from the dreadlock, he has sustained the patriarchal ideology that is preconditioned in most of the Indian households. The study aimed to decrypt the notion of how writers and critics of the new literary tradition a...

The negative impacts of hyperreality are visible in our media and literature fields and it is a threat to contemporary society in association with reality and its copies. Illusions of reality are always formed, and they pretend as the originals. Jean Baudrillard through his book Simulacra and Simulation, originally published in French in 1981 and translated to English in 1983 traces out the fake realities that are promoted by media and literature. He is a well-known critic of postmodernism, his theory of hyperreality is better applicable in postmodern literature and media. People are living in a world where they are always confused with reality and blended reality, even the reality is suppressed under fantasies and illusions, these imaginations often control the world. Media and literature are always influenced by hyperreality, films, advertisements, news, social media, etc. represent artificial realities so that the present world ...
