This may not seem particularly indological, but the course offers 
possibilities for the serious study of ayurveda, including doing an MA 
thesis that could make use of original sources in the Asian languages 
supported by scholars at the Centre, that include Sanskrit, Arabic, Urdu, 
Chinese, and Tamil.
