Abstract: The principal objectives of this article are to describe the current state of International Studies (IS) in India, to analyze the reasons for its lack of robustness and the factors responsible for the absence of a vibrant scholarly community and, finally, to suggest a few remedial measures. The lack of the growth of IS is attributable to many factors— systemic, institutional, disciplinary and leadership-related. In many ways, the crisis in IS is only a part of the larger crises affecting Indian Higher Education. IS in India needs better leadership, clear direction and urgent reform.
