This course, thus, has been specifically designed for the non-law people. It aims to address the linkages between the corporate and the human rights in the form of CSR. It critically analyses one significant question – whether the issues of human rights should be addressed by the corporate sector mandatorily or voluntarily, in different social contexts? The strengths and weaknesses of the CSR initiatives in India and other countries are analysed. Also, the international commitments, with special reference to the role of United Nations are seen.

Course Objectives: Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR, as it is popularly referred to, is a combination of ethical, philanthropic, legal and economic responsibilities of a corporate organization towards the social transformation by addressing the social issues in collaboration with Government and NGOs. The corporate entities are more into profit making business and in this race, they often forget that their activities are causing harm to and not protecting the environment as well as human rights of the people.

This course explores the intricate relationship between media and social movements, examining how media platforms and technologies have shaped the formation, mobilization, and impact of contemporary social movements. Through an interdisciplinary lens, students will analyze the role of media in fostering collective action, amplifying marginalized voices, and challenging power structures. They will critically examine various forms of media, including traditional news outlets, social media platforms, and alternative media, and investigate their influence on activism, protest, and social change. Drawing on case studies from around the world, students will gain insights into the complexities of media representation, framing, and manipulation, as well as strategies employed by social movements to harness media for their causes. By the end of the course, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the dynamic interplay between media and social movements in the contemporary global context.

This chapter defines the symbiotic relationship between media and society. Though the relevance of contemporary media activism has its roots back over a half-century or more, they each have a unique essence in today’s emerging ‘global’ era. The initial restrictions on media activism have not altogether diminished but these restrictions have been transformed by the ever-expanding possibilities of connection and coordination. Media activism today emerges as a global phenomenon in a newer form that involves synchronized protests worldwide for global inclusive justice involving diverse lengths of movements. In this increasingly globalization of mass media be it television, press or digital media, the information flow of ideas is gigantic marked by the proliferation of the internet offering newer means of opportunities and modes of direct communication to the social and political actors.

• Media and the Global Public Sphere
• Representation of Gender, Public Sphere, Ethnicity and Subaltern groups
• Ideology and Hegemony in Media
• Media and Globalization: Trends and Challenges.

In the first decade of the twenty-first century, global politics seem to be provoked due to the aggressive encounter between authoritative states and armed groups.The veil behind these conflicts consists of several kinds of actors at work in society all over the world. Forms of peaceful protests marked by social and political changes have permeated all spaces and spheres of social life across regions. Activism involves both local and international power structures and attempts to offer recourse to the politics of oppression.

Activist politics are spread across various forms of movements, networks, organizations and websites. They persuade ‘mainstream’ politics over significant global issues like trade, gender relations and the environment.  It is this relationship among actors, agency and structure that has been the focus of study of this chapter.

• Media as an Advocacy and Campaign Tool
• Global Activism and Activist Media 
• Use of Traditional/Folk Media for Advocacy/Campaigns
• Activism in the Print and Electronic Platforms 
• Activism in the Digital Space

We live in a period where politics is communication, be it politicians’ manifestos, pressure groups propaganda or peaceful protests - all make their attempts to gear their communication in reaching people as a mass. All political conflicts occur majorly within and through organized media of communication, but these are much more diverse than the term ‘mass media’ implies. Direct communication takes place from political actors to audiences in media that actors themselves define. It is indirect, when it travels through formal media institutions. In the twenty-first century, transformations of communications technology offer many radical new possibilities of communication between these varied forms of actors and the masses. The chapter undertakes all the diverse case studies in media activism in relation to democracy, corruption, gender equality, race, economic justice, and environmental issues.

Popularly known as ‘Father of the Nation,’ Mahatma Gandhi was the leading figure of

India’s freedom movement. It was his mass-based mobilization and campaign marked by the

method of non-violence and Satyagraha which changed the course of the movement. His

guiding method and principles continue to fascinate and inspire many both in India and

around the world. Gandhi elevated pacifism to an empowering political force, which inspired

world leaders like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Walesa, etc. His views – although

developed in the context of a struggle in South Africa and India many years ago – Gandhi's

ideology has influenced myriad spheres of human experience: politics, economics, education,

nation-building etc. The course seeks to introduce to the students the ideas and thought of

Gandhi and why the interest on him has only increased.
