Description
Summary:This short essay shares reflections on Sinha’s seminal paper published in 1965 from a historical perspective. It is organised in three sections. The first section delineates the changing world and Indian context from 1965 to 2022, with a discussion on colonisation, post-colonial psychology in India and the current movement towards decolonisation. Section two discusses some theoretical and meta-theoretical points on Indian psychology (IP), a few raised by Sinha. The final section concludes with the way forward for both IP as well as psychology in India.
