is organizing a
Two-day UGC Sponsored
Multidisciplinary National Seminar
on
Sustaining Indian Knowledge Systems:
Academic Representations Through English Studies
05, 06 December 2017
The declining vestiges
of colonialism are being replaced by the neo-colonialist machinations of global
powers leading to cultural imperialism, cultural amnesia and Westoxication. The
need of the hour is to rediscover and reaffirm the tangential domain of
knowledge generated and disseminated from the subcontinent. The reinventing of
indigenous knowledge systems is in fact a journey towards an inquiry into our
own roots and identity. This multidisciplinary seminar proposes to harness the
synergies of multiple areas such Philosophy, History, Literature, Linguistics,
Music, Performance (Dance) and Folklore dwelling on perspectives that share certain
common worldviews.
