Social Science Teaching in Hindi
Whatever the official ‘medium of instruction’, in actual practice most Indian universities work in Indian languages and not in English. This is true of both the teaching activities of faculty and specially the learning activities of students. Despite longstanding awareness of the problem, there is a marked lack of good teaching/learning materials in Indian languages with only rare exceptions. The social sciences are the worst affected because they are more dependent on language than the natural sciences, and do not possess the Indian language resources available to the humanities. This situation has been peculiarly stable because the factors and forces that may have led to change have for various reasons been ineffective. Although sustainable change requires internal roots, the initial impetus must perforce be external.
