Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to our annual conference titled “Great Transition in India: Rethinking the Past Insights”, which will be held on 27 April 2022. This conference organized by the Institute of Indian Studies (IIS) in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies will explore some of the key questions on India in transition that continue to demand debates among scholars and experts. Our conference will provide a platform to discuss multiple changes in India with thirteen distinguished scholars and experts from six different countries.

The IIS’ international conference aims to exchange perspective and understanding of India, the causes and effects of political, economic, societal and linguistic changes that embrace divergent readings on history, philosophy and languages. Our one-day virtual conference is part of our annual conference series of IIS, connecting international expertise on India and audiences and enabling participants and attendees to engage in open beyond-the-border academic discussions. Therefore, please mark the date in your calendar and follow our updates on the IIS website.

We welcome your support and look forward to seeing you at our conference.

Kind regards,

Chanwahn Kim, Ph.D
