The Centre For Honing Academic Skills, Islamiah College, Vaniyambadi, India conducted a seminar on multi-disciplinary research methodology programme for the faculty in January, 2012. Research has been a preserve of western thinkers. There are no two opinions about the fact that western philosophers, scientists, management thinkers and social thinkers have made profound contribution to the body of knowledge in research methodology. However, the contributions made by Hindu and Islamic thinkers have not been highlighted. In this programme, an humble attempt to articulate ideas drawing on eastern sciences has been made. Research cannot be divided into water tight compartments like social sciences, exact sciences, humanities, historical and management research. The craft of research is the same in all branches of knowledge. This seminar focused on this aspect as well. This book presents the papers / contributions of the authorities in their respective disciplines. Hopefully, the readers will get different perspectives of research in a book of this kind.
