At the core of our mission lies India Studies—our primary intellectual discipline. We approach India not as an academic subject but as a civilizational project that demands continuity, depth, and indigenous interpretation. India Studies at The Hind is rooted in Indian philosophies, cultural memory, classical texts, and historical experience. It forms the basis of our research, publications, and programs. By restoring India Studies to its rightful home within India, shaped by Indian minds we build a foundation that informs national strategy, cultural renewal, governance thinking, and long-term development. This is India Studies as intellectual sovereignty.
