This study presents a comprehensive re-examination of the humanities through the rich epistemic landscape of South Asian intellectual traditions. By contrasting Eurocentric interpretive frameworks with classical Indian philosophy—specifically Nyaya logic, Mimamsa textual exegesis, and Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka skepticism—this article articulates a modern paradigm for epistemic justice in higher education. Furthermore, it evaluates the contributions of South Asian Subaltern Studies, Rabindranath Tagore's aesthetic universalism, and the pressing challenges of digital archival sovereignty and algorithmic hegemony in the Global South. The paper concludes that a decolonized, pluralistic approach to the humanities is crucial for sustaining democratic deliberation and moral reasoning in a hyper-technological age.
