Journal of Indian Knowledge Systems (JIKS)

The journal provides a platform to scholars who wish to study India and her heritage across time and space using Indian texts (Shastra), contexts and practices (Loka Parampara) as media of knowledge production. It covers an interrogative track highlighting the universalizing claims of current Orientalist/Western scholarship and its project of producing India as object of knowledge. It also offers a constructive track for finding alternative theories and conceptual frameworks that emerged in India and deploying their insights to inform various dimensions of the human condition. Additionally, it involves sustained engagement with various intellectual traditions as well as cultural practices while drawing from domains such as Indian philosophical and cognitive sciences, psychological, social, and cultural sciences, political and economic sciences, performing arts, aesthetics and architecture, science and technology, law, public policy, and governance, and any tradition that Indians have reflected on and practiced. The journal invites cutting-edge and original research articles on the theory and practice of various fields of knowledge relevant to India as a cultural region while acknowledging the contemporaneity of those traditions. Covering a range of domains, including all Kalas and Vidyas in their Vyavaharika and Paramarthika dimensions, the journal welcomes submissions that deploy an interdisciplinary and comparative approach and demonstrate familiarity with contemporary academic conventions. Though the focus remains on in-depth analyses in the form of review papers, the journal will consider special numbers on specific themes, book reviews, synoptic essays, and responses to published papers. The journal follows a rigorous peer-review policy. All submitted articles undergo a double-blind peer-review process.
