Overview Of INDICA Course “Introduction To Dharmashastras”
Dharmaśāstra texts are invaluable sources of moral and ethical guidance in Indian culture. However, contemporary engagement with these texts has been clouded by discomfort and misunderstanding, partly due to the effects of colonialism and the erosion of indigenous education. Our upcoming online course seeks to address this gap by providing a clearer understanding of Dharmaśāstras and their relevance today.
In this regard we are organising a free open session where our faculty, Shri Nithin Sridhar, will provide an overview of this INDICA Course “Introduction To Dharmashastras”.
This event is open to all. Prior registration is necessary.
We look forward to your participation.
