Produktinformationen zu „Sanskrit and the British Empire (ePub)“
Europe's discovery of Sanskrit was a development of far-reaching historical significance in terms of intellectual curiosity, evangelical considerations, colonial administrative requirements, and political compulsions. The book critically analyses this interplay between Sanskrit texts and the imperial and colonial presence in India.
