Re: [INDOLOGY] More about P.C. Bagchi (and S. Lévi)

Sat Nov 29 16:46:01 UTC 2014

The mystery of this 2009 publication may perhaps be solved taking into
account the opening lines of Akira Yuyama's most valuable overview (listed
on wiki too) of Bagchi's oeuvre:

If the plan started in 1997, then this would explain the presence of
scholars like *e.g.* Alex Wayman (d. 2004).

A more recent discussion of Lévi-Bagchi links regarding a 'Greater India'
is Susan Bayly, Sylvain Lévi and the Greater India Society', in Lyne
Bansat-Boudon, Roland Lardinois (dir.), Isabelle Ratié (coll.), *Sylvain
Lévi (1863-1935): Études indiennes, histoire sociale*, Turnhout: Brepols,
2007, with a review in *Bulletin d'Études Indiennes* 28-29 (2010-2011)
[2013], pp. 408-418.
