Abstract

Recent years have witnessed growing attention to revisiting the disciplinary history of International Relations (IR). In this article, a preliminary effort is made to trace the disciplinary history of IR in India with the objective of assessing the present state of the discipline and the manner in which it engages with and contributes to the contemporary debates and developments in the discipline of IR in general. The article explores the institutional foundations and evolution of the discipline while taking a peek at the omissions and commissions that characterize the journey of the discipline from predominantly West-centric footprints to the quest and arduous efforts towards decolonizing it. It is argued that efforts towards re-envisioning IR in India, by revisiting the history of the discipline, critiquing West-centrism and exploring alternative theorizations, offer a starting point towards a more globalized/pluralized/decolonized study of the discipline. However, the discipline needs to be better equipped in terms of institutional mechanisms for collaborative research as well as a methodological and pedagogical overhaul across national and regional levels.
