Abstract
The articles in this edited volume were invited from among the presenters at the original “Open Pages in South Asian Studies” workshop, held at the Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, in 2011.
Members of this international group address the theme of gaps or lacunae in our knowledge and vision in South Asian Studies. In short, why does the current state of affairs exist? They explore the borders of the unknown, and offer studies which may help define proper directions for further research in the discipline. Representing “Classical” Indological studies, contemporary South Asian studies, and theoretical models for the future of the discipline, the South Asian, Russian, European, and American scholars represented here invigorate this panoramic view of an active field.
