In the history of human knowledge newer answers are always sought which results in the paradigmatic shift. From Aristotle, who evolved the deductive method and Francis Bacon,who invoked the inductive method, till the present day researchers- all are engaged in one task: framing a research object. The world of critical studies is fascinatingly complex and complicated. Hence, identifying a research object is also a tedious task. While formulating a research question the researchers need to employ the principle of a rifle rather than a shot gun. Only then a new subject of study can be traced. This will make all prevalent questions become non-questions and new answers can be sought by either contesting the existing concepts or by complementing their limitations. We will try to elucidate this contention by exploring one of vibrant sites of critical studies namely, Indian Political Culture, with special references to the seminal work of Asish Nandy on the subject.
