Global Perspectives on Indian Knowledge and Literature

Abstract

Indian knowledge and literature, with their profound and diverse traditions, have long been subjects of scholarly study across the globe. From ancient Sanskrit texts to contemporary Indian authors writing in multiple languages, Indian literature reflects the country's rich cultural and intellectual heritage. This paper explores the global perspectives on Indian knowledge systems and literature, focusing on how they have been interpreted, studied, and appreciated worldwide. It examines key historical milestones in the global reception of Indian texts and knowledge, the role of translations, and the cross-cultural exchanges that have shaped the global understanding of Indian literary traditions.
