This book brings together the essential debates concerning the emergent area of Digital Humanities (DH) in India. Through the interviews, the book attempts to identify the differences and convergences between DH practice in India and that of Global North. The book can be seen as a compendium for exploring multifarious layers of the 'digital' and its relationship with humanities, academia, and beyond, thereby giving rise to many complications and contentions within DH in India. Conversations on DH depict the chequered and amorphous nature of DH practice in India--as an academic discipline, as a methodology, as community projects, and as an appendage to the existing discipline of literary studies, toward charting the features of DH as an emerging discourse. For example, some scholars understand DH as a 'method', while others regard it as a discipline. Similarly, while some view DH in India as a derivative of DH in the Global South, others consider it distinct from DH in the Global North. This book brings together these different, yet diverse and distinct notions in form of conversations, to provide not a uniform understanding of DH, but a comprehensive view of the paradigm of what can be tentatively understood as 'Indian DH'. As editors, we ensure that this book captures the pluralities around the concerns of DH, which are determined not by us, but by scholars and practitioners who have been steering the area of DH.
