Dialogue is a recurring and significant component of Indian
religious and philosophical literature. Whether it be as a
narrative account of a conversation between characters within a
text, as an implied response or provocation towards an interlocutor
outside the text, or as a hermeneutical lens through which
commentators and modern audiences can engage with an ancient text,
dialogue features prominently in many of the most foundational
sources from classical India. Despite its ubiquity, there are very
few studies that explore this important facet of Indian texts. This
book redresses this imbalance by undertaking a close textual
analysis of a range of religious and philosophical literature to
highlight the many uses and functions of dialogue in the sources
themselves and in subsequent interpretations. Using the themes of
encounter, transformation and interpretation - all of which emerged
from face-to-face discussions between the contributors of this
volume - each chapter explores dialogue in its own context, thereby
demonstrating the variety and pervasiveness of dialogue in
different genres of the textual tradition. This is a rich and
detailed study that offers a fresh and timely perspective on many
of the most well-known and influential sources from classical
India. As such, it will be of great use to scholars of religious
studies, Asian studies, comparative literature and literary theory.
