Editors’ Summary: This article examines how DH scholarship in India is often undervalued because traditional systems value print-based research over digital, collaborative or public-facing work. Digital Curation, Metadata Creation, Multilingual Platform building are serious forms of intellectual labour that get overlooked in University Grants Commission frameworks. Within global debates of DH and local realities, this essay calls for a more flexible model that recognizes digital research. It urges universities and policymakers to rethink how academic value is defined in order to make space for emerging forms of knowledge production in the digital age.
