Sanskrit Studies (Research) Manipal Academy of Higher Education

Overview

The Sanskrit Studies (Research) programme from Manipal Academy of Higher Education presents a text-critical and exegetical analysis and examines the intertextual links between literary texts. While studying the historical development of Sanskrit literature, this course also explores the continuities and discontinuities between the Sanskritic traditions of classical India and prevailing modes of enquiry in the Sanskrit literary canon.

Key Facts

The program is designed to equip learners with the interpretive and discursive techniques to engage with Sanskrit literatures within the framework of comparative studies. Drawing upon these literatures, it examines how Indian intellectual traditions have shaped societies, cultures, and civilizations. It is aimed at creating a brand of educators and researchers in Sanskrit language and literary studies competent in traditional and modern research methodology. On one hand, this would encourage newfound engagements with classical literatures; on the other, it aides the development of a refined pedagogy for the teaching of Sanskrit language and literature.
