ABSTRACT
This chapter portrays economics teaching and research in India, where the long heritage of a pluralistic tradition has been challenged by neoclassical economics during the period of neo-liberal reforms. After 1991, a neo-classical hegemony tried to subjugate all traditions of pluralism prevailing in economics. As a result, conflicts developed in various institutions in India. Some institutions lost their pluralistic character; some other institutions, however, regained their heterodox tradition. In 2014, a party with the ideology of ‘Hindutva’ came into power in India. It is pro-actively suppressing all kind of academic dissent within and outside of the university. Economics as a discipline may not be any exception.
