Welcome to Mimamsa Foundation for Indic Studies (MFIS) A Forum for Rigorous, Objective, Authentic and Inter-disciplinary Indic Studies

Who we Are ?

We are group of independent individuals committed to know India and its value system in an authentic ‘Indian Way’. We aim to conduct an objective and well-researched study of various facets integral to understand India. We intend to engage into a thorough and substantive discourse which is essential for a genuine Indic Inquiry

Who we are not ?

We are not a “political opinion” website giving perspectives on contemporary political developments. We do not intend to prescribe or proscribe any particular party/organization. Nor do we confine ourselves to the accepted ideological silos. We are strictly ‘apolitical’ but firmly committed to the values that MFIS represents.

What do we do ?

We aim to engage in rigorous research and reach out to larger audiences through well-researched articles, thematic articles series, research projects and much more. We hope to emerge as a platform that provides space to researchers to share their research insights about India with people at large.

Collective Indic Learning !!!

Through workshops, courses and study groups - we intend to take the core research work of MFIS to students, researchers, scholars and interested individual and help build a credible Indic Discourse.

Engaging with young scholars

We actively engage with young students and researchers to popularize Indic methods and discourses to help provide them with framework and prism to study and understand India in an authentic Indian way. MFIS - Indic Cafe Study Circle is a unique way to collectively study and build a credible Indic discourse.

Engaging with Eminent Scholars !!!

We routinely engage with eminent scholars in the domain of Indic Field - We organize lecture series with such eminent scholars to learn from them to keep ourselves updated about the Indic Research..!!

Ancient Roots of Global Bharat

Ancient Roots of Global Bharat by Dr. Amrita Narlikar

Words from the Mentor's Desk

Dr. Manjusha Gokhale

Well Known Sanskrit Scholar & Dean of Faculty of Arts and Fine Arts at Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune.

“Today the increasing curiosity among the people to know more about our Ancient Indian Heritage needs a definite direction. Often, an inappropriate portrayal of traditional knowledge, due to ignorance or prejudices, leads to polarised opinions and confusion. Hence, a balanced, comprehensive and authentic analysis of traditional Indian heritage should be put forth. To study the manifold aspects of Indian Civilization is indeed a big task which is undertaken by MFIS. I wish MFIS all the success!”

Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai

Well Known Author and Founder-Director of Chanakya Institute of Public leadership (CIPL)

“The platform like MFIS is required to take the wisdom of scholars and academics to the masses and general people by taking the advantages of the technologies available for our generation. Good work builds over long period of time with incessant efforts and dedication. May Mimamsa keep doing this work to excel more and more in future!”

Dr. Prasad Joshi

Well Known Sanskrit Scholar & General Editor - Sanskrit Dictionary Project at Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute.

“Indian civilization has always been the topic of curiosity for the entire world. MFIS offers a platform to deliberate upon treasures hidden in Indian knowledge tradition in a well researched, authentic manner with the utmost lucidity from the domain experts. I heartily appreciate and congratulate MFIS for undertaking this huge task of critical inquiry of manifold aspects of Indian civilization which will help in building the Indian Perspective”

Dr. Uttara Sahasrabuddhe

Well Known Scholar & Head of Department at Department of Civics and Politics, University of Mumbai.

MFIS is an attempt to provide an alternative methodology to the field of Indic Studies – a methodology that is rooted in Indian norms and values. It has the potential to evolve as a platform of rigorous analyses and of a new discourse eventually.”
