Indological Essays: A Volume in Felicitation of Professor Satya Ranjan Banerjee

The volume, in felicitation of Prof. Satya Ranjan Banerjee who is known for his immense contributions to the field of Indological studies, presents a tribute to the scholar and teacher as well as articles that deal with a number of Ideological themes. The articles—mainly in English with a few in Hindi as well—take up ancient Indian literature and linguistics, philosophy, religion and culture for a detailed scrutiny. Scholars here examine the Vedas for their teaching of war, their human values and mention of the horse. They explore the Purana and Kavya literature, the Alamkara school of thought in ancient India, and the meaning and concept of darshana. They delve into some linguistic aspects such as the linguistic thought in Prabhakara Mimamsa, Bengali grammar in verse, and the use of the perfect tense, lit in the Meghaduta of Kalidasa.
