Dr Rajesh Kasturirangan
Dr Rajesh Kasturirangan is a faculty member at the National Institute of Advanced Studies in Bangalore. He thinks that deeply rooted - and specifically Indian - philosophical, psychological and cultural intuitions play a bigger role in determining actions in the social sphere than is normally acknowledged; their effects can be seen in domains as varied as the conception of the state and its role in society to the structure of corruption and the relationship between a community and its natural environment. This column will attempt to communicate the link between philosophy, culture and society and to make these abstract ideas part of our daily conversation.
Dr Kasturirangan has a background in cognitive science, which is his main area of technical research. These days he is studying the interface between language, culture and cognition and how the mind emerges in large cognitive networks. Several Indian traditions of inquiry have much to say about these questions. His goal is to bring these traditions to bear upon research on the mind. Visit him online at

Geetesh Nirban
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department Of Philosophy, Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi। My areas of interest are Ethics, Indian Philosophy, Educational Philosophy, Ecofeminism, Mahabharata Studies and Youth Issues. As a student of Philosophy for last 15 years, I really feel that it is an urgent need to introduce Philosophy as a subject in the schools. Logical skills, ethical outllook and understanding of some epistemologial issues must become an integral part of school curriculum in India if we want to secure better future of this country. Hoping for the best....
