Abstract
This commentary on one of D. Sinha’s articles is organised into three parts. In the first part, the narrowness of the scientific worldview and the limitations of the scientific method and its implication for investigating Indian psychological phenomena have been discussed. The second part discusses the distinct characteristics of the human world and the need for human science to study psychological phenomena. The importance of human science as an antidote to the dark side of scientific modernity has also been highlighted. Extending the discussion of the first two sections, the final (third) section discusses the current status of psychological research in India and suggests measures to improve research practices.
