Research Focus: <\/strong>In philosophy of science, my work broadly examines how methodological principles and values are socially and historically shaped, and how formal models of reasoning, especially Bayesian approaches, may be revised or reformulated to address the normative dimensions of theory-laden inquiry. I also work on the ontological interpretation of scientific systems, particularly in relation to EPR debates and Bell\u2019s inequality, with special attention to the concept of locality. In Indian philosophy of mind, I focus on debates between Ny\u0101ya and Buddhist traditions concerning the nature of self and consciousness. I examine how engagement with these traditions can reshape and deepen contemporary understandings of mental health practices and their conceptual foundations. In political philosophy, I analyse socially and historically evolving normative frameworks, with particular emphasis on the thought of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.<\/p>\r\n
