Framing Intellectual and Lived Spaces in Early South Asia: Sources and Boundaries

Abstract

The contributions to this book address a series of 'confrontations' - debates between intellectual communities, the interplay of texts and images, and the intersection of monumental architecture and physical terrain - and explore the ways in which the legacy of these encounters, and the human responses to them, conditioned cultural production in early South Asia (c. 4th-7th centuries CE).
