He also draws meaningful parallels between Continental Philosophy and India's locally rooted philosophical traditions from among Tribal communities.Rooted in a Sanskritic tradition of doing Darsana in a family of traditional Indian philosophers, he develops a dialogic interface between heterodox Indian philosophical traditions and European and Continental philosophical world-views.His current works are a return to an interdisciplinary worldview traditions in which he combines a policy paradigm such as India's Act East with Southeast and East Asian traditions from a contemporary Indian philosophical point of view of 'Swaraj in Ideas' and Rabindranath Tagore's Cosmopolitan universalism.He writes occasionally in The Statesman on issues related to Northeast India and often shares his views in national and international media.
