I'm writing to share the programme of the Sanskrit Reading Room at SOAS for the first half of 2021. Please write to srr@soas.ac.uk to register your interest in the sessions and to join the mailing list. All events will be online and, due to time zone differences, the schedule is not as regular as it was in the past. Registration for individual sessions will be announced separately closer to the events (via the mailing list, SRR Facebook page and blog). Texts and meeting links will be shared with registered participants in advance.

With warm wishes,

Lidia Wojtczak
