We are pleased to announce a Conference on Hindu Thought on Ethics, Law, and Justice conference at Hyderabad on May 28, 2022. The primary objective of this conference is to foreground new insights related to ethics, law, and justice from –
- Hindu primary sources in languages indigenous to the Indian subcontinent (like Sanskrit and Tamil, amongst others) or
- published secondary sources in English that have engaged with primary sources of Hinduism.
We have an excellent line-up of speakers who will be presenting papers on a range of exciting topics. We have also planned a Book Launch event for ‘Maxims of Mahabharata’ authored by Sridhar Potaraju, Advocate on Record, Supreme Court of India.
