GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANCES AND TRENDS AT INDIAN UNIVERSITIES

ABSTRACT

Indian politicians, political scientists, and historians take delight in referring to India as a sub-continent, and many social scientists share this opinion out of necessity given the size, regional variations, and inequities of the nation. As a result, geography and geographers have a bigger role to play in providing logical explanations and compelling interpretations of resource distribution patterns, change dynamics, and national development processes. Regrettably, when the faculties of a university are established, geography always receives last importance. Hence, it has a very late beginning in this nation, and it is evidently also true when we look at the history of geography in the United Kingdom, the Continent, and the United States of America. To establish a geography department in a university, geographers must fight and create clever lobbying campaigns. It is much more true now since policymakers and authorities have devised an unscientific and evil system for dividing knowledge into useful and useless fields, and they are quick to label geography as one of the useless ones.
