Centre for the Comparative Study of Indian Languages and Cultures

 Overviews:

 India with its diverse history and rich cultural heritage is one of the few nations, which is multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual. It is a land of cultural ethnic and linguistic assortment. The literary culture in India has developed over the centuries in contexts of  cultural and linguistic contacts. It is, therefore, the Center for the Comparative study of Indian language and Culture (CILC) describes the linguistic and cultural aspect of Indian literature in terms of shared underlying features of two or more literatures within a rigorous descriptive methodology. Foremost, this focus has centered on tracing major canons of cultural, linguistic and literary traditions that contributed, to “the real integration of India into one single entity, in spite of some basic and fundamental racial, linguistic and cultural diversities.”

In sharp contrast to the language departments CILC offers courses in comparative and translation studies to delve into the amalgamation of India. The course curriculum of the Center includes a wide variety of academic programs that focus on the use of Indian languages in real-life situations. The history of India and its environs provide rich cultural material on which much of the CILC's course materials are based. The curriculum also includes extensive area studies material and introduces students to various linguistic and cultural aspects of life in India.
