This book re-orients and enriches the existing teaching and learning processes of English language and literature in an Indian context. It foregrounds and critiques the relevance of existential humanities in the classroom (both pedagogy and research), re-contextualizes classroom interactions with reference to everyday lived experiences and ethical choices, and fosters critical humanistic thinking among teachers and learners. It offers a unique perspective on existentialism drawn from various cultures by intertwining it with Indian cultural and philosophical underpinnings, enabling readers worldwide to appreciate the diversity of existential thought. This book introduces lesser-known non-Indian as well as Indian literary works to a global audience, highlighting how existentialism permeates and connects various genres and styles of global writing. It provides insights into how language nuances convey existential ideas in diverse linguistic contexts, encouraging a deeper understanding of how existentialism transcends language barriers. Through a comparative lens, this book enables readers to compare and integrate Indian existential themes with those from other cultural and literary landscapes. It equips educators worldwide with tools to incorporate diverse existential perspectives into classroom discussions, fostering a broader understanding of human experiences across cultures.

This book foregrounds the crisis facing the teaching and learning of language, literature, humanities and social sciences in the post-truth era. It establishes the crucial need to re-invigorate these domains for a truly inclusive, progressive and harmonious society. Most importantly, this volume offers crucial classroom strategies, practical lesson plans and precious insights from classroom experience to teachers and researchers.
