An overview of the results concerning near infrared observations, undertaken to date, is presented. The major focus is to illustrate the potential of near infrared spectroscopy to illuminate the physics and astrophysics of starbursts in galaxies. Some of the uncertainties, as well as the conclusion are highlighted. The review leads to the conclusion that the initial exploratory phase of extragalactic near infrared spectroscopy is over. It is shown that with modern infrared instrumentation it is possible to obtain infrared spectra of galaxies throughout a large volume of the local universe. Higher spectral resolution combined with imaging detectors is needed for detailed and quantitative investigation of the astrophysics of individual galaxies.
