The purpose of this paper is to understand the impact of migrant's influence on the homeland politics. The paper highlights the connection of migrants and diaspora to the homeland, which significantly impacts the homeland's political process. It brings various instrumental mechanisms and tactics by which diaspora impacts homeland politics. Two cases of transnational politics provide a social and theoretical implication of transmigration political impact. The case and content analysis methods were used to study the phenomena. Applied case studies were used for the comparative analysis of the two countries' migration. Media dialogue and the lived experience of the diaspora and transmigration process have been considered. The main findings pertain to the nation-states that have tried to bring new policies to engage and leverage the diasporas with their homelands. Their contribution to homeland politics has been recognised, and the state has given them a provision of dual citizenship and voting rights. Diasporas have also facilitated their engagement and support through political remittances and sharing political ideas and practices with their friends and family. The paper has implications for diaspora studies, especially in the context of homeland politics by the diaspora and state expectations. The migration study also provides a guideline for policy formation within the home state. The paper contributes to the importance of diaspora knowledge and homeland policies, which help in a better political system.

Keywords: Homeland, political remittances, diaspora, transnational politics and state.

The characteristic of mindfulness-based interventions is to foster greater mindfulness with awareness of one’s present-moment experience through an open lens of equanimity and acceptance. Mindfulness is a psychological trait, a state of cultivating awareness through mindfulness meditation and psychological processes. Although mindfulness elements have immense contributions to clinical symptom reduction for positive life functioning, they still lack clarity in their implementation on positive human functioning. Thus, the current study is formed to understand the association between mindfulness interventions that can positively influence biopsychosocial and disease-pathogenic processes among 120 participants. The study found that

prevalence of clinical distressing symptoms in oncological settings rises from 30% to 57%, and 47% to 55% of survivor patients reported the presence of psychosocial distressing symptoms. MBIs offer cancer survivors a greater sense of self-control and acceptance of their real-life circumstances, which leads to finding meaning in suffering. Mindfulness intervention is associated with reducing the severity of anxiety in adult cancer survivors and a concomitant reduction in the severity of depression and improvement in health-related quality of life, ranging from 45% to 57%.

Keywords: mindfulness, interventions, psychosocial distressing symptoms.
