The book adopts a critical interdisciplinary perspective, examining the crisis and prospects of the social psychological domain. It ventures into the realm of social psychology, metatheory, integrative potential, and activism in support of the socially and economically oppressed.

This book addresses the sociocultural imagery that stimulated the research in social psychology in India. It explores how trans-disciplinarity will culminate in perspectives and ideas that make social psychology transformative, change-oriented, and responsive to various social challenges.

The book will be helpful to teachers, scholars and students interested in understanding the social psychologies of India. This book will be a valuable reference read in interdisciplinary social sciences and schools of psychology, political science, sociology, philosophy, and critical legal studies. It provides an accessible and engaging approach to dealing with the complexities of interdisciplinary social psychology in India.
