SUMMARY:43rd Online Symposium On IKS Studies On STATECRAFT\, POLITICAL THOUGHT & GOVERNANCE
DESCRIPTION:43rd Online Symposium On  \nIKS Studies On  \nSTATECRAFT\, POLITICAL THOUGHT & GOVERNANCE \nINDICA is organizing a symposium on IKS Studies on Statecraft\, Political Thought and Governance with the objective of exploring the so far unexamined sources and aspects in this area of IKS. The symposium will be held over two days\, 27th and 28th September 2025 (Saturday and Sunday). \nExperts will present papers covering story-compilation texts like Panchatantra\, Hitopadesha\, the Vetala and Vikramarka story cycle\, and Shukopadesha; Ramayana\, Mahabharata and other Itihasa-Purana texts; Sanskrit Kavya texts such as Shishupalavadha\, Kiratarjuneeyam and Raghuvamsham; Artha Shastra works like Kautilya’s Artha Shastra and Shukranitisara; Vaishampayana’s Nitiprakashika; Dharma Shastra works like Medhatithi’s Manubhashya; Jain works such as Nitivakyamrita; historical sources including inscriptions and Ajnapatras; and Niti or Subhashita works like the Tirukkural. \nScholars will highlight micro-level aspects such as Rajanaya (diplomacy) and intriguing topics like Upeksha (overlooking as a strategy). One of the talks will provide a framework for understanding the texts in this area. Another will undertake a comparative study of the philosophy of state from both IKS and contemporary perspectives. \nMany aspects such as economics in historical and contemporary perspectives\, Dandaniti\, welfare\, concepts like the Civilizational State and the Dharmic State\, leadership strategies\, and several new dimensions will be explored over these two days. \nSCHEDULE \nDay 01 \n\n\n\n\nTime\nName of The Speaker\nTopic\n\n\n9:00-9:45\nDr. Nagaraj Paturi \nKulapati | Vice Chancellor\, INDICA\nExploring New IKS Sources And Aspects For Statecraft Governance & Leadership\n\n\n9.45-10.30\nSri Vijay Shankar Laghate \nRetired Management Professional\nCrows Versus Owls- Statecraft From Panchatantra’s Third Section\n\n\n10.30-11.15\nDr. Guha Vishwanath M V \nAdjunct Professor\, Department of Heritage Sciences and Technology\, IIT Hyderabad\nThe Art Of Decision-making Under Pressure – Timeless Lessons From Kirātārjunīyam And Śiśupālavadham Mahākāvyā-s\n\n\n11.15-12.00\nSri Garikapati Pavan Kumar \nIndependent Researcher – Bhāratīya Knowledge Systems\nRājadharma At Citrakūṭa: Rāma’s Statesmanship In Dialogue With Bharata\n\n\n12.00-12.45\nSri Pranshu B Saxena \nAuthor\nSearching For Kautilya In Itihasa And Purana\n\n\n12.45-1.30\nDr. Manisha Deepak Puranik\nAssistant Professor\, SBL Centre of Sanskrit and Indological Studies\, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth\, Pune\nSanskrit Kāvyas As Repositories Of Indian Political Science\n\n\n1.30-2.15\nMs. Heemal Pandey\nResearch Scholar\, Govt.
