Indicism - A Theoretical Framework and Three Critical Theories for New Indology

Abstract

Indology is an area of research that mainly focuses on the study of Indian civilization. The framework presented here calls for an examination of culture and society via the native lens. This is not proposed as a new framework but something that has always existed though not effectively utilized for a variety of reasons. The framework is called Indicism and this new paradigm consists of three critical theories - Unidimensionalism, Negationism, and Prophetism. The study of Indian civilizational phenomena utilizing the native, Indicism framework is a path set forth to develop New Indology.
