This study examines the conceptual, methodological, and practical understanding of the interplay between science and religion through the perspectives of prominent Indian political thinkers, including Vivekananda, Savarkar, and Ambedkar. Grounded in Indian epistemology and methodologies inspired by these figures, the study reveals that, unlike the dichotomy often emphasized in Western modernity, science and religion in the Indian context have historically evolved in cohesion and simultaneity, both philosophically and pragmatically. The findings challenge conventional binaries and offer insights into the integrated worldview prevalent in Indian thought. The report is currently being published in book form.
