Abstract:
I shall give panoramic view of the two-way confluence of Humanities (inclusive of arts and social science) and Computer Science (inclusive of ICT). One the one side the confluence activity is leading to emergence of digital humanities, and on the other side research in information technology is infused with social activism. The purpose of the presentation is to create reflective occasion such that pedagogic and research aspect of confluence in the Indian context can be discussed.

Based on IIIT-H experience, I shall look into pedagogic aspect of Humanities in IT University. Further, I shall reflect on promises of Social Computing research in the Indian context.
