	Indology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indology is a name given by indologists to the academic study of the history, languages, and cultures of South Asia.
		Thus, Indology is the intellectual pursuit of all things Indic, with a focus on the interpretation of the past.
		Indology would not typically include the study of the contemporary economy, government, or politics of South Asia, except insofar as these sometimes express issues that are deeply embedded in South Asian history, and may be illuminated by indological methods and insights.

	Fachgebiet Indologie, Uni Marburg
		Wilhelm Rau was the Director of the Department of Indology in Marburg from December 1957 till 1988.

		Indology can be studied as a main subject (Hauptfach) or as a secondary subject (Nebenfach), and Tibetan Studies (when officially recognized) as a secondary subject.

		"Indology" is a term rarely used in the English language, but on the Continent, especially in areas where education bears the stamp of German academic life, it is fairly common.
		Indology is currently classified as a 'B class' major, which means in practice that it can be studied initially only in conjunction with some other, 'A class' major.
		For this reason, entry to the first year of the Indology course is permitted without a special entrance examination.

	Indological Department, University of Bonn
		The background to the development of the Western "Indology" as an academic subject is in German romanticism of the early 19th century, and the University of Bonn was the first Western academic institution to establish a chair for Sanskrit studies in 1818.
		Together with the establishment of the Indology Department in 1955 Paul Hacker (1913-1979) was called to Bonn as Kirfel's successor and director of the Department.
		The German indology of the 19th and early 20th centuries was predominantly limited to the research of Sanskrit and its rich corpus of literature.

	The History of Indology and Comparative Philology in Germany, 1750-1958
		Whereas British and French interest in Indology paralleled their colonial enterprise in India and the consequent need to understand the literary, legal-religious and philosophical traditions of the sub-continent, the German Indological interest was altogether different.
		ABSTRACT: The history of Sanskrit studies (Indology) at the University of Leipzig is closely connected with the names of the four scholars who successively held the chair between 1841 and 1958: Hermann Brockhaus (1806-1877; Professor in Leipzig 1841-1877), Ernst Windisch (1844-1918; 1877-1918), Johannes Hertel (1872-1950; 1919-1937) and Friedrich Weller (1889-1980; 1937-1958).
		Another critical step in Indology's growth in Berlin was the acquisition of the extensive Chambers manuscript collection in 1842 and their cataloguing by Albrecht Weber in the late 1840s.

		Popular does not mean cheap and in the history of indology, there are masterpieces of research and presentation that are equally scholarly and accessible, thanks to the talent of an author.
		And the result is that indology has become the affair of specialists living in tight compartments, with little possibility of exchange.
		And the lack of communication between the compartments is the greatest failure of indology as a whole.

		Western Indology does not understand the philosophy of India, its emphasis on dharma and karma, liberation and enlightenment, or its great traditions of Yoga and meditation.
		Western Indology is part of western civilization, shares its values and naturally works to expand its frontiers on an intellectual level.
		Western Indology is an attempt to mold and fit Indic civilization into the terms and values of western civilization.

	Indology
		As far as my own area of indology is concerned, the contributions of the participants were, generally speaking, qualitatively and quantitatively impressive.
		To the extent that indology in general owes a great debt to the contributions of German indology, it also has to come to terms with some of the more problematic aspects of the history of the latter.
		Contributions such as these show that Indology is reading maturity; it is only to be hoped that a well-informed discussion of the above-mentioned, more problematic sides of its history, and more generally of the problems of Orientalism and of indology "beyond Orientalism" (a book with this title in honour of Prof.

		Self-described as a colloquial 'must for the history buff' and a pleonastic 'labour of hard work' (back cover) Non-Jonesian Indology and Alexander by Ranajit Pal is indeed both of these things; a work at once fascinatingly suggestive, pioneering and provocative, yet frustratingly confused and laborious.
		The main subject is Alexander's conquest of India, specifically locating Palibothra, the theoretical limit of his march east.
		The five appendices survey some of the implications of Pal's argument for Indology as a whole.

	Research
		I am also investigating Indology at Bonn to supplement my work on Berlin and Leipzig, as Bonn University was an early center of Sanskrit study in Germany.
		By the late nineteenth century, orthodox university Indology had weaned itself in everyday practice of its earlier romantically-inspired enthusiasm for India, and what remained was a much more narrow positivistic philology.

	Tamil Studies in Germany - Thomas Malten
		The reason for the establishment of Tamil Studies at the university level in Germany can be found in the recognition of the fact that Tamil is the only classical literary language of India besides Sanskrit and that Tamil language and literature have developed tremendously in many branches, particularly during the last 100-150 years.
		It is because of this that recently the Institute of Indology in Cologne has been officially renamed as "Institute of Indology and Tamil Studies".
		Berger, after becoming head of the department of Indology at the South Asia Institute of the University appointed Dr. Ayy¤turai T¤m–taraÊ (Ayyadurai Dhamotharan), a linguist from the University of Trivandrum to head its Tamil section in 1968.
