This book brings together the essential debates concerning the emergent area of Digital Humanities in India. Through the interviews, the book attempts to identify the differences and convergences between DH practice in 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 which have bestowed DH (in India) with many complications and contentions. Conversations on the Digital Humanities depicts 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 existing discipline of literary studies, towards charting the features of DH as an emerging discourse. For example, for some scholars DH is understood as a 'method', while others consider it to be a discipline; similarly, while some scholars agree DH in India as a derivative of DH in the Global South, others consider DH as in India as different from DH in the Global North. This book brings together these different, yet diverse and distinct notions in form of conversations, not to provide 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, that are determined not by us, but by scholars and practitioners who have been steering the area of DH.
