Hello,
Hindustani Prachar Sabha in Mumbai was apparently formed by Mahatma Gandhi at about the time of Independence of India. It's an NGO with an aim of promoting what it considers as Hindustani. It dishes out many courses about Hindustani in Urdu, Braille and in general promoting its objective. It makes no claim that its courses are recognised by UGC. It's just that students must know that it's a one year programme 'Hindi Vidwan' and is equivalent to BA.
The fact of the case is, any programme of education needs to be of 3-years duration minimum and after 12th, which they can claim to be a graduation as understood by UGC. Once this is u

Hey there,
Well, there is no such college that offers a Masters with LLB as integrated course as that is not the common preference and such kind of courses have not been introduced yet. However, you would get a BSW LLB college such as NALSAR Hyderabad, GNLU Gandhinagar, LLoyd Law College, etc. Or, you may get colleges for pursuing Masters in social work alone and then you could opt for LLB.
In India, I believe that there is no such provision yet implemented wherein a Masters with LLB is offered. Every integrated law course consists of both undergraduates degree such as BA LLB.

Nevertheless, all languages have their own utility and applicability but still, I would recommend you to follow 'Spanish Language'. Its syntax, grammar and even the words are similar to that of English. That's why, it is considered as the easiest language to learn. My suggestion is to look at the job market and see what jobs are out there that require more than just your native language/s and English. Then, decide which one fits what you have in mind. You might want to choose a language that is in the highest demand and pays the best by the businesses in your area. In India, Spanish, is in more demand because of its outsourcing. Many o

Economics is an area that has been underestimated quite a bit in India.
What makes economics versatile is its applications to an economy as well as an enterprise. Economics as a subject is a combination of numbers and human behavior.
There are so many areas -
Developmental Economics
Behavioral Economics
Environmental Economics
Agricultural Economics
Micro Economics
Companies such as Google, Apple, HP, Intel, etc. use economists to introduce new offers and price them based on human behavior. Economists serve as an interface between engineering and marketing.

Sociology covers human behavior, cultures, trends and phenomenon. The scope ends at individual human behavior, psyche and personalities. That's where psychology takes over.
I once had a sociology professor tell me I couldn't put in my research that a participant was upset at my research question, because I wasn't qualified to know if they were angry. As a double major in psychology it was clear the participant was angry. In psychology I could make this distinction, but sociology avoids explaining how the human brain works in social explanations.
Sociologist (also psychologist) George Herbert Mede made an analogy once about studying the t

Political science is a field which deals mostly with practical and empirical aspects (except few topics in political science like classical political theory).
Whereas philosophy is more abstract, normative and prescriptive in orientation.
