The Opening Note

We the students of M. Sc Clinical Psychology, Christ University, Bangalore , have created Chinthana... Rediscovering the quintessential Indian psyche. Our agenda is to discover Indian thoughts and minds. We had a curiosity and enthusiasm to 'know' and 'understand' about ourselves, our philosophy and our multicultural Indian system. Questions on Indian culture, philosophy, society and the line drawn by the western world about the psychology of Indians were the reason for our intiative to create a blog and to step up to rediscover the Indian psychology.
Chinthana as a word means to think or rethink, and fittingly, we will be rethinking Indian minds to explore new knowledge or where necessary, redefine the Indian mind or what Indian in Indian is. We will be posting articles reviewed by us as well as our thoughts on our specific areas of interest. Each member has chosen different sectors of the multicultural Indian society such as culture, asceticism, religion, supernatural power, rural society and folk societies. So, here we go...!
