Event Description : BOOK Discussion "Classical Indian Thought and the English Language" based on a book edited by Mohini Mullick and Madhuri S. Sondhi.

English educated Indians, access the country's classical intellectual traditions largely through translations of works written originally in Indian languages, mainly Sanskrit. It is time to analyze the problems that arise when vocabularies representing a unique world view, are sought to be made intelligible in an alien language with its own cultural history. Discussants will explore various facets – theoretical, social and political – of the situation arising out of this epistemological challenge.

Speakers: Prof. Simona Sawhney, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi; Prof. Deep Datta Ray, Jindal Law University; Prof. Wagish Shukla, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (retd); and Prof. Vinay Lal, University of California, Los Angeles
