SUMMARY:Two-day workshop on Indian Psychology
DESCRIPTION:August 7 and 8\, 2024\n\nA two-day workshop on Indian
 Psychology was held on August 7 and 8\, 2024\, organized by the Centre for
 Study of Cultures (CSC) in collaboration with the Centre for Indian
 Knowledge Systems (CIKS). Dr. Kundan Singh\, a Professor at the Hindu
 University of America\, served as the distinguished speaker for the event\,
 and he was introduced by Prof. M.S. Chaitra\, Director of CSC. The workshop
 centered on Dr. Singh's articles related to Indian Psychology. It followed
 a "loud reading" format\, where participants read the articles aloud\,
 followed by discussions on the challenges of applying Western psychological
 theories to the Indian context. The conversations emphasized how
 fundamental concepts in Western psychology\, particularly regarding the
 psyche\, often become distorted when used to analyze Indian texts and
 experiences. Dr. Singh argued that these theories fail to adequately
 capture the nuances of Indian thought\, leading to misinterpretations and a
 limited understanding of Indian culture and psychology. The workshop
 provided an in-depth examination of the incompatibility between Western
 psychological frameworks and Indian knowledge systems. By critiquing these
 Western theories\, Dr. Singh and the participants shed light on the need
 for more culturally relevant approaches in understanding Indian
 psychological concepts. This workshop aimed to encourage scholars and
 students to rethink the use of Western models in Indian contexts and to
 explore Indian Psychology on its own terms. The event highlighted the
 importance of decolonizing psychological studies and fostering a more
 accurate representation of Indian thought and practices in academic
 discourse. It was attended by 15 research scholars and faculty from CIKS
 and CSC.
