Best Colleges in India to Study Arts

Humanities or arts as the stream is popularly known, offers students a host of opportunities in various fields like mass communication, counseling, and teaching, etc.

Humanities is one of the most underrated streams of all. It is a common myth, well-circulated among the Indian psyche, that the Arts/Humanities streams are for students who are “not smart enough” for studying either Science or Commerce

Although Sir Peter Medawar, a scientist himself, said about humanities - “The scientist values research by the size of its contribution to that huge, logically articulated structure of ideas which is already, though not yet half-built, the most glorious accomplishment of mankind. The humanist must value his research by different but equally honorable standards, particularly by the contribution it makes, directly or indirectly, to our understanding of human nature and conduct, and human sensibility.”

The factor that sets a man above other lower animals is the fact that he is emotionally sound and can understand his culture and surroundings. That is exactly what the arts teach you. Thus, it will not be too far-flung to say that the various fields of art teach you how to live your life as a human being
