Investigating the growth of Indology (the study of East Indian
texts, literature, and culture) and the diffusion of this knowledge
about ancient India within nineteenth-century Germany, this work
contextualizes approaches to contact by historically grounding them
in a contemporary history of German culture, education, and
science. It answers the historical anomaly of why Germany had more
nineteenth-century experts in the academic discipline of Indology
than all other European powers combined. German interest in ancient
India developed because it was useful for widely varying German
projects, including Romanticism and nationalism. German Indologists
made successful arguments about the cultural and intellectual
relevance of ancient India for modern Germany, leaving an ambiguous
legacy including a deeper appreciation of South Asian culture as
well as scholarly justifications for the warlike image of a
Swastika-bearing Aryan master race.
