Social and human sciences research enhances understanding of the social reality and the issues and problems that need to be solved. The actionable outcomes of research provide policy inputs and frameworks for socio-economic and all-round development and generate ideas, facts, insights and methodologies that can be used in policy framing, teaching and research.
India has had a long, cumulative and rich tradition of thought production in social and human sciences since the Rigveda (1500 BCE). The intellectual tradition since Panini has reflected on the social and cultural meaning and evolved epistemologies of enquiry for the attainment knowledge based on observation, logical and rational thinking. Educational and research institutions such as Takshashila, Nalanda, Vikramashila, Vallabhi, Pushpagiri and Somapura flourished as global centres of learning in different parts of India, and produced great knowledge in diverse fields such as Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery, Jurisprudence, Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Metallurgy, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Philosophy, Grammar, Agriculture, Economics, Commerce, Politics, Statecraft, Military Education, Literature, Craft etc. These institutions set very high standards of teaching, learning and research for scholars from across the world. This system of Indian education produced scholars of great stature such as Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Amarsimha, Chandrabardai, Banbhatta, Dandin, Jivaka Komarabhacca, Mahaviracharya, Charaka, Susruta, Baudhayan, Chanakya, Brahmagupta, Panini, Patanjali, Nagarjuna, Pingala, Gargi, Kanad, Varahamihira, Thiruvalluvar, Tolkappiyar and so on.
It has been recognised that the need of the hour is to shift from merely documenting the 'exceptionalism' of India to engaging with the diverse social realities of the country with a philosophical stance of inwardness, so as to be able to develop an original and fresh understanding of a larger variety of issues, generate new theories and perspectives and represent the multiple voices of varied people of India.
