About Mimamsa
Mimamsa attempts to provide Bharatiya alternative to the entrenched socio-political, religio-spiritual and historical narrative prominent in academia today. Primarily a bilingual (English and Marathi) forum, it hosts articles, special features, interviews and in-depth analysis from the Domain Scholars. Mīmāṁsā attempts to build a “four-pillared” template to study India and Indian Value system.
