\u00a0I. <\/strong>Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n The Department of Political Science aims at conducting research that contributes to the promotion of values that are foundational to India\u2019s Constitution such as justice, freedom, equality and fraternity, to foster a democratic polity in India and beyond. It endeavours to nurture critical thinking about concepts and ideas that are central to the well-being of all, to arrive at claims based on reasoning and\/or evidence and systematic study of state and society, and to develop ideas that are relevant to the political reality of India and the world at large. It seeks to twine the normative and the empirical with analytical categories that are self-reflexive even while keeping its doors wide open to ideas, theories and knowledge from all directions and sources. It believes in methodological pluralism and respects different procedures to gather and process information, arrive at conclusions and interpret meanings.<\/p>\n II.
