But my supervisor forcing me to make indentation for all starting line of all paragraphs ( even for the initial line of section/subsection ). How can I do so?

    Probably the indentfirst package could help. – leandriis Aug 08 '20 at 14:57
  • That's a a typographical heresy! – Bernard Aug 08 '20 at 15:52
  • @Bernard look at egreg's references in the linked answer. Whether or not to indent is highly language and community (or publisher) specific. Neither style is particularly heretical. – David Carlisle Aug 08 '20 at 15:59
  • I don't agree, because the aim of paragraph indenting is to draw the attention of the reader on a paragraph change. Just after a section heading, this is quite redundant. I know it is the French usage to add paragraph indent even in this case, but some authoritative typographers think this is absurd. – Bernard Aug 08 '20 at 16:14

\section etc. use \@afterheading to remove the indentation for first following paragraph. It uses \everypar which is often used for other purposes. To allow the first paragraph to indent, simply disable \@afterheading.

\documentclass[10pt, a4paper, oneside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{@afterheading}{}% or \let@afterheading=\relax
\makeatother

    indentfirst package is part of the core distribution and does this in fewer tokens (4) By disabling afterheading completely, you not only allow indent, but also allow page breaks after the heading which are probably unwanted. – David Carlisle Aug 08 '20 at 15:17
