Area Studies: Trajectories of Disciplinary Discourse
Area studies in India have evolved as a discipline within public institutions, reflecting the plurality of discourses that define the profile of institutions in the country. Many Area studies experts share the policy narratives of the state, but there are many who do not subscribe to them and still some others even challenge them. In that sense, the discipline has maintained a large measure of intellectual autonomy. It is this autonomy that quite often irritates those who want to see a very homogenous and monolithic discourse emanating generally from ‘world class institutions’.
