India and Korea: Perspectives on Language, Literature and Culture

The volume on "India and Korea : Perspectives on Korean Language, Literature and Culture" provides a three dimensional image of Indian, and Korean thought on language, literature and culture. These three dimensions constitute the mind and way of life of these two communities who have the legacy of interactive contacts and relationship since antiquity. However, too much obsession with the western ‘constructs’ in both the countries — particularly among the educated masses of India and Korea led to the state of oblivion about these ancient cultural and intellectual affinities. It is indeed a solace to observe that these communities are re-exploring the dimensions of their relationship in past and present and constituting an Asian identity. The volume is an attempt to study the core and interface areas relating to language, literature and culture with regard to India and Korea. Scholars have delved deep into the aspects of language pedagogy, literary and aesthetic responses and the cultural pattern of the major Asian countries. The volume is compiled with an aim to fulfill the need of the general students, researchers and teachers. In its wide readership it includes the readers from the area of language, literature and culture studies.
