Description:
Sixty Years of Sanskrit Studies: Volume 2 presents an insightful examination of Sanskrit studies in universities and institutions across 13 countries. Building on the impact of Orientalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, this volume highlights the role of Sanskrit in shaping various academic disciplines such as comparative mythology, comparative religion, and comparative linguistics.
The articles in this volume discuss how universities, particularly in the US, UK, and other parts of the world, have incorporated Sanskrit into different departments, often as part of the broader study of religions or humanities. The authors emphasize that Sanskrit cannot be seen as an isolated discipline; it is a vital part of the larger academic framework and continues to provide authenticity to various other fields of study. Additionally, the volume sheds light on the emergence of new schools and centers for Sanskrit studies across the globe, while also addressing the concerning trend of the decline and marginalization of Sanskrit departments at major institutions.
This book calls for a global understanding of the future of Sanskrit, recognizing its unique role as a unifying force among diverse cultures and civilizations. The essays also highlight the need for revitalizing and preserving the study of Sanskrit to ensure its continued relevance in academic and cultural contexts worldwide.
Target Audience:
- Scholars and students of Sanskrit and Indology
- Academics and researchers interested in comparative mythology, linguistics, and religion
- Anyone concerned about the preservation and future of Sanskrit studies
- Those with an interest in the intersection of global studies and classical languages
