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 The Conference invites original, unpublished research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
