Seeking research papers

The D. D. Kosambi Research Foundation was registered as a non-profit trust to further research and to study varied aspects of society. A web portal has also been set up in its name which will carry research papers.

The aim of this Foundation is to tap research talent in India and abroad of those interested in fundamental studies. Most research today tends to be in the academic field with limited or no relevance to society at large. In the academic field research is more oriented to acquiring postgraduate qualifications rather than trying to understand society. Through this Foundation we hope to create a space for young, independent researchers.

We invite researchers to send their studies to the Foundation so that they can be assessed by an editorial team set up for this purpose and, if found suitable, uploaded on the Foundation’ s registered website. This can be in the form of detailed research projects, original articles on any issue or a project proposal for an in-depth study. The papers/articles/proposals may be sent by email to research.kosambi@gmail.com

Our main focus will be on swadeshi (Indian) to evolve a true model of development which can stop the continuous drain of wealth from our country (estimated at roughly 20% of our Gross Domestic Product yearly); and the promotion of democracy by countering all aspects of Brahminism — structural and cultural — and evolving a true federal political structure wherein all languages and local culture can flourish. We also seek to promote scientific temper by inviting original works on any other issues as well.

Let us build a team that will produce the best research papers in the country. As and when funds are raised the best amongst us need not search for sources of income but can be enabled to use our energy to study and writing.
