Latin in India (Was: JNU Rejects Indology/classical studies)

[Guest guest]

There is an Indian Society for Greek and Roman Studies in Bareilly

which publishes a journal, Yavanika. I wrote the editor a letter a

year ago asking for information on the state of the study of these

languages in India, and whether anyone had written a history of the

subject, but have received no response. Presumably both must have

been offered widely in India at one stage for those Indians who wished

to take the IAS exams but couldn't afford a public school education in

England.

I am surprised to hear that there was no institute of Indology

*before*! It

is good that Greece is funding Greek studies (it is certainly better

than

nothing), but what about Latin? Are there any Indian universities

where

Latin is offered?
