The Indian society, culture and history encompasses varieties of thought traditions. The ancient thought had two major strands, sanatan and shramanik. The larger philosophical premises of these traditions was to enter into the deep metaphysical and transcendental realm of the existence, being, self and the super self or cosmos. Interestingly, the deep insight of these traditions could not prevent them to deliberate on the day-to-day practical life-worlds. In fact, the gist or the telos of their philosophical inwardness helped to produce thoughts on the practical courses for all beings. The thoughts of Vedic and Buddhist and Jaina Shramaik thinkers, Gautama (the Buddha), Mahavir Jaina, Charvaka, Nagarjuna, Brihsapati, Vedvyasa, Kumarila, and many more ancient intellectuals provides a gamut of thoughts not only on the greater discourses of life and after life, but mainly they provide how to create an environment of osmosis, sahanvavtu (togetherness), inclusive society, just and welfare for all beings including humans. This Seminar invites social scientists who are engaging in the field of Marginalisation and social inclusions in their research to reflect on the manners of social-philosophical-spiritual thinkers and their contribution towards cultivation of Indian Socio-cultural thought throughout ages. In their work, they may trace the origin and evolution, contribution and present-day relevance in policy making and development towards social inclusions. They may also use existing categories and develop a critical stand, or develop new ones as analytical tools.  The Seminar was conducted in collaboration with Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (SSS, JNU) and Social Studies Foundation.
