This volume locates social psychology in the context of contemporary societies in an increasingly globalizing world where time, space, and relationships are reshaped by powerful information, communication, and travel technologies.The volume revisits the efforts thus far while commenting upon the treatment of pertinent issues in the emerging sociopolitical and academic climate of the globalized area. It discusses how globalization has led to multidimensional changes in the society, warranting newer ways of comprehending, conceptualizing, and navigating through the complexities of the emerging social world. While mapping the new changes shaping contemporary discourse, the book refers to the new emerging patterns of human relationships, which are acquiring different shapes and meanings, leading not just to restructuring but also to creating innovative ways of being and making sense of the world.The volume would be useful to students and teachers of psychology, applied psychology, sociology, social work, public health, gender, and women studies. It would also be an invaluable companion to pediatrics, forensic medicine, psychiatry, and law enforcement authorities like police and judiciary.

This volume brings together important and original perspectives from South Asia on the relationship between violence---an increasingly important issue in multicultural societies---and the process of othering. The contributors state that societies create 'others' through deliberate acts of selection over a period of time. The objective of the process of othering is to deny rights and privileges that one sets for one's own group. This volume affirms that central to the understanding of violence in any society is the understanding of othering processes. Violence and nonviolence are influenced by the nature of othering processes as well as the kinds of others in a society. Groups engaged in mutual othering are also the ones that are often involved in violent relationships. Renowned scholars from diverse fields provide multidisciplinary perspectives on violence and othering, discussing the concepts of violence and nonviolence in multicultural societies, communal harmony, constructions of the other, truth commissions, state censorship of 'sensitive' issues, fundamentalism and secularism in multifaith societies, and specific cases from recent violence-prone areas. This volume focuses on the South Asian, and more specifically, the Indian context, but is relevant for researchers seeking to understand these issues anywhere in the world.

This edited volume reimagines psychological science through Indian cultural, philosophical, and spiritual traditions, responding to growing concerns about the dominance of Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) paradigms in mainstream psychology. Questioning universalist assumptions and imposed etics, the volume advances a context-sensitive, bottom-up approach that takes culture and lived experience seriously in the study of well-being, resilience, and flourishing.Grounded in Indigenous Psychology and contemporary positive psychology, the book integrates Indian constructs such as anāsakti (non-attachment), samatva (equanimity). ānanda (bliss), and related ideas from yoga, Vedānta, Buddhism, and the Bhagavad Gita with empirical rigor. It brings together mixed-method research, narrative inquiry, and culturally valid psychometric research to demonstrate how indigenous epistemologies can coexist with scientific standards of reliability and validity.Drawing on contributions presented at the 3rd International Conference on Positive Psychology, India, the volume is organized into three thematic sections: philosophical foundations and indigenous constructs; culturally grounded interventions and practices for well-being; and emerging empirical insights from Indian populations. Chapters engage with themes including quiet ego, wellbeing literacy, yoga-based self-regulation, mindfulness, nature connectedness, social-emotional learning, resilience in adversity, and the development and adaptation of psychological measures for Indian contexts.The volume also addresses contemporary challenges facing psychology in India, such as mental health innovation, culturally responsive assessment, ethical research practice, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration across psychology, education, health, and indigenous knowledge systems. By situating individual well-being within social, ecological, and cultural systems, the book moves beyond narrow individualism toward more inclusive models of psychological functioning.By bridging ancient wisdom with modern methodologies, this volume offers a coherent framework for culturally grounded theory, research, and practice. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, graduate students, mental health professionals, educators, and policymakers seeking approaches that expand psychological science while remaining ethically and culturally attuned - both within India and in the global context.
