Title

Contribution of Westerns Scholars to Sanskrit Literature

Abstract

In order to establish a system of government in consonance with the tradition of the people, one of the first acts of Warren Hastings, the governor general of Bengal, was to institute an enquiry into the ancient language and literature and the legal system of the Hindus. In this he followed the precedence of enlightened princes like Akbar and Dara Shikoh, were responsible for the Persian translations of the Hindu scriptures. As a result the European scholars were encouraged to take up the study of Sanskrit. In 1785 Charles Wilkins published a translation of the Bhagavadgita, and five years later , Sir William Jones translated Kalidasa´s great drama Sakuntala. In 1802 William Hamilton, who was detained in France owing to the Napoleonic wars, beguiled his time by teaching Sanskrit to his fellow prisoners. Among them was the German poet William Schlegel. The effect upon Europe of the discovery of Sanskrit literature and philosophy was electrifying and may not unfairly be compared to the discovery of Greek Renaissance.
