Theme of the Conference
The rich heritage of Indian Arts and Literature from the prehistoric age to the present era is engraved on the geography and cultural landscape in entire South Asia and South-East Asia and it has influenced scholars from around the world as is evident from the scholarly contributions from well-known scholars like Max Muller and Sir William Jones to the contemporary scholars. However, the long duration of colonial rule infused an inferiority complex among the scholars back home, they stayed away from significant research, and Western Classics dominated Indian academic spaces. The First Aesthetix International Conference is aimed at motivating Indian academicians and scholars to take interest in the Indian Arts and Literature and take up research in this henceforth-neglected area. It is also aimed at providing a platform for interaction among the Indian Scholars and the International Scholars working in the field of Indology. The Conference invites original, unpublished research articles and scholarly papers from teachers, professionals, research scholars, independent researchers, and students studying at the postgraduate level on the following areas, but not limited to:
- Indian Classical Literature
- Indian Classical Theory
- Sanskrit Aesthetics
- Tamil Literature
- Shavite Literature
- Vaishnavite Literature
- Indian Architecture
- Indian Fine Arts
- Pali Literature
- Prakrit Literature
- Interdisciplinary Studies of Indian Arts and Literature
- Indigenous Arts and Literature of India
- Indian Theatre and Performances
- Paintings of India
- Literature and other Art forms in contemporary India
