This topic is based on the major project from U.G.C. and has entailed a rigorous field work and voracious reading of books on research in subjects of humanities such as History, English Literature, Economics, Political Science and Education. The project has covered a time period of almost two years and one more year of work is left with me. During these two years, I have prepared questionnaires and distributed it amongst professors working not only with Kanpur University but with other universities and colleges affiliated to those universities. This campaign has brought in commendable result and I have a wide variety of opinions from supervisors in colleges and universities far and wide. My effort to prove, that English Language is an indispensable medium for a research of class and distinction has been readily accepted and appreciated by the professors and supervisors every where. Professors and supervisors everywhere, lamented on the falling standard of research for which, language constraint is one vital reason. Talking to them I have discussed certain steps which the scholars should adopt to enhance their knowledge of English Language for channelising their research in the right direction. This problem of acquiring control over the foreign language which is essentially needed for advanced studies was dealt with by the various experts invited by me for their lectures in the workshops organized by me under the project. The books consulted by me written by various experts of the subjects, surprisingly had references of foreign historians, politicians, economists, litterateurs and educationists and their theories which further endorse my justification of English language as an appropriate medium of today. Research emerges from the possibility of perception of solution to the existing problem. Just selecting a topic does not allow the researcher any help to go ahead with his project. He has to invent means and ways of reaching his goal. This invention brings him face to face with problems. The problem in the question is the difficulty or hazard faced by the researcher and to go ahead with overcoming the difficulty in research. A problem alone sets the wheels of research to turn. Among the various problems faced by the researchers, we are going to focus on the medium of expression adopted by the researchers in his pursuit of accomplishing his research and to exemplify in it. The quality of research has received a great set back of late and much has to be blamed on the weak power of expression of the research scholar which decapitates the healthy growth of a research. As research is the pinnacle of advanced studies, the most acceptable language is English 117 Table of Contents Language used widely in India and abroad. The tools available for a research scholar such as biographies of the pioneers of the various subjects, international journals, commercial magazines, materials siphoned through internet, attending seminars and conferences, consulting digital libraries and through international publications, are such sources of information which are the stipulating measures to be taken by the scholars for not only improving the quality of their research but also for giving class to their work. If we refer to the sources seriously, we would see that all of them require the scholars to have adequate knowledge of English Language to manipulate them fruitfully. The biographies of the pioneers of Economics, Sociology, Literature, History, Political Science, Education and Science as well are compulsorily and originally available in English. Later they might have been translated into other languages. Then a research scholar has to consult the international journals for first hand knowledge in their field of research so that when they go about their work, they do not miss out on any piece of information that might make a dent in their otherwise immaculately prepared material. And not to be mentioned again, all the international journals are
