Abstract

We Are Standing On The Thresholds Of A New Century And An Introspection As Well As A Retrospection Of The Situation Sanskrit Learning Is Required. Sanskrit Has Immensely Contributed To The Emerging New International Culture In Our Age And The Modern Global Perspective. However, Sanskrit Studies Are Suffering From A Stagnation And The Adverse Effect Of The `Orientalism` Which Knowingly Or Unknowingly, Functioned Under The Impact Of And Catered To The Interests Of The Colonialism. It Is High Time Now That The Scholars Of Sanskrit Put Up A Joint Effort To Free Their Vidya From Several Misconcepts And Misinterpretations. I Am Happy To Note That Some Of The Papers Included In This Volume Reveal A Genuine Concern And A Positive Approach In This Direction. The Articles Collected Here Offer New Vistas In Various Disciplines Under Sanskrit Studies- I.E. Veda, Epics And Puranas, Philosophical Systems, Rhetorics, Grammar, Literature And Culture.
