Is Social Science a Science? Emerges from a Brain Storming Session (BSS), on the subject, organized by the North-Eastern Regional Centre of the Indian Council of Social Science Research, involving a group of social scientists at the North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong. The scholars from sociology, political science, History, economics, geography, anthropology, and philosophy, freely expressed themselves on the issue from the perspectives of their respective disciplines. The arguments brought out that the answer whether the social science is a science or not would largely depend on how 'science' and 'social science' are defined, the dominant view in the entire discourse though insisted that the social science is accepted for a long time as a science and there is hardly any justification in reopening to issue.
