This volume is the outcome of the Ninth International Indology
Graduate Research Symposium held at Ghent University in September
2017, the fifth publication of proceedings from this series of
symposiums. Like previous volumes, the current edition presents the
results of recent research by early-career scholars into the texts,
languages, as well as literary, philosophical and religious
traditions of South Asia. The articles here collected offer a broad
range of disciplinary perspectives on a wide array of subject. In
addition, in the lines of the well-established tradition of
research in Jainism at Ghent University, this edition has a more
specific "Jains and the others" main theme. The purpose of such a
theme is to contribute to determine the input of Jainism in the
broader framework of South Asian traditions, as well as to invite
the reader to think beyond boundaries of religious or cultural
identity. In this dynamic, two papers deal with Jain adaptations of
famous Puranic narratives and two others with the relation between
textual tradition and soteriological practices in Jainism. In
concert, other innovative papers elaborate on Puranic and kavya
literature, include technical discussions on linguistics and engage
in philosophical studies. Finally, set in the historical context of
the hosting institution, this volume opens with a history of
Indology in Belgium.
