Kothanak is an International Interdisciplinary, Double-Blind Peer-Reviewed (Refereed) Academic Research Journal that provides an inclusive platform for scholarly research across the domains of humanities, social sciences and allied fields. Published quarterly, the journal is committed to promoting intellectual inquiry, academic excellence, and ethical publication practices.
Derived from the Sanskrit root katha (discourse/story) and the suffix -anaka (structure or composition), Kothanak refers to a structured narrative or reflective account. The name embodies the journal's commitment to fostering dialogue across disciplines, languages, and cultural practices. It seeks to bring together diverse voices—academic, regional, artistic—into a coherent yet pluralistic intellectual narrative.
Kothanak is not just a name; it is a philosophical and intellectual anchor for the journal. It reflects our mission to bring together academic, artistic, and cultural voices into a meaningful conversation that spans disciplines and languages.
