Submitted a dissertation on Master’s curriculum titled “Patriotism and Idealism in Rupert Brooke’s The Soldier: A reflection on the early World War I sentiments.” This paper showcases how the poem idealizes war, glorifying national pride, personal sacrifice, and spiritual fulfillment within the context of pre-war England. This paper represents early 20th century optimism and romanticized view of war, predating the more disillusioned perspectives of later war poets.

Worked on a Term Paper titled “Reimagining Mahabharata through the eyes of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni in The Palace of Illusions: A Feminist perspective.” The paper re-evaluates the role of female characters in the Mahabharata, specifically through Divakaruni’s fictionalized retelling from Draupadi’s perspective. It highlights the issue of female agency, suppression, and Draupadi's struggle for identity within a mythological context, and it is a theatrical recreation that focuses on the themes of motherhood and conflict.
