Ph. D in Sanskrit - List of topics

[Sivasenani Nori]

The topic of Ph. D. in Sanskrit has been discussed earlier on this list, with some expressing a desire to know how to select a topic etc. Here's a very useful list of Ph. D. theses, entitled "The Directory of Doctoral Dissertations" compiled by Prof. K. V. Sarma of the Rashtriya Samskrit Sansthan.

Dear Sivasenani

Please note that it is the Project of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, not
of the said professor.
He might have provided the link or some of the inputs. Similarly UGC
maintains a database, out of which Sanskrit might have been separated.

The links were provided to us some time earlier by the members of this
forum.

I am sorry, my previous post was out of context. I meant this was not
his work alone. He started the great project, was my contention.

Sir

 

You are right. In trying to follow up on your comment, I came across two more resources.

 

One is the INFLIBNET, the Information and Library Network of UGC, which has over 2.25 lakh dissertations in its database (there are eight other bibliographical databases - including one of books). The same can be searched here: http://indcat.inflibnet.ac.in/indcat/

 

There are 6,950 theses available when we search with the keyword Sanskrit under Subject.

 

INFLIBNET has another project called Shodhganga, which is a repository of Ph. D. theses. One can search it here: http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/# 

 

The number available is much lesser, but the entire thesis is available. For example, here is one of the theses that had come up I searched for "advaita": http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/1358

 

I am pleasantly surprised to know all this (I am not from an academic background - was trained as an engineer and manager, worked for 17 years and took a break to study Sanskrit - now in second year of MA). Surely the learned Professors on this list would know all about it; even so, if there were a few like me who do not know, I thought it would be useful to post this.

 

One important appeal to all scholars. Please do submit your work to Shodhganga. That gives two benefits: First, your work would be noticed more - nowadays it is not kavitvam that brings in fame and money, but it is paaNDityam; so, more noticed means better "prospects". Second, it would be a service to fellow scholars. To see how much scope there is, consider this: We have nearly 500 Universities in India; of these, theses from only 230 Universities are available in INFLIBNET; and about 25 Universities have made their theses available on Shodhganga.

Namaste,

http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/Thesis_Modified/Thesis-E-H/H_f/myweb10/va.htm

Has a great list, but can be structured only by first letter, that means finding something of interest might be an issue. It does not contains English Theses on Sanskrit issues like Palsule's, right?

Does not works anymore, at least not now, server error.

http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/browse?type=keyword&order=ASC&rpp=20&value=Sanskrit+Linguistics is a great way to seach, but how did you gather the statistics? I would want to quote an exact number for my articles about the livelyness of Sanskrit, thanks.

नमांसि,

http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/Thesis_Modified/Thesis-E-H/H_f/myweb10/va.htm

Thankyou Shri KV Sharma for this wonderful endeavour. Its really useful and in place effort. Most needed.

My suggestions are here - for improvement-

1. English titles in Devanagari is very strenuous to read. They might be given in Roman script as well. May be convertor will help?

ऐतरेय एंड तैत्तरीय ब्राह्मणाज़, स्टडी ऑफ दि एटिमॉलॉजीस ऑफ, ¾ दीक्षा, सरोज कुमारी *** दिल्ली, 1980, पी.एच.डी.

["In progress",  "Under" in Roman were better than Devanagari 

ज्ञानेश्वरी-चरितस्य साहित्यकम् समीक्षणम्. ¾ कुमार, कुलदीप   *** पंजाब (Hspr.),  (इन प्रोग्रेस).

ज्ञानार्णव : देखें अण्डर योगपरम्परा.]

2. Place name is given but University name is not given. May be this helps here - भारतीय विश्वविद्यालयों के नाम, संक्षेपाक्षर

3. अथर्व-परिशिष्ट: कृपया इसके अन्तर्गत भी देखें परिशिष्ट. -अथर्ववेद : कृपया इसके अन्तर्गत भी देखें  उपनिषद्स. Things like this appear amidst entries. They need explanation. Is it referring to subject? This is answer-  जब किसी एक डेसर्टेशन में एक से अधिक विषय लिये गये हैं या एकाधिक की-वर्ड सम्बद्ध हैं तब उस डेसर्टेशन को विभिन्न की-वर्ड के अन्तर्गत लिये गया है अथवा “कृपया वहाँ भी प्रविष्टि को देखें” ऐसा संकेतिक किया गया है।

4. Could be developed as a table form with headings, instead of plain list - like Title of Thesis, Name of researcher, University, Year - etc. 

This explanation helps here- in प्रस्तुतिकरण - to some extent though- (प्रस्तुतीकरण?)

इस निर्देशिका की प्रविष्टियाँ तीन भागों में हैं। प्रथम-भाग शोध का शीर्षक संकेत करता है, जबकि दूसरा-भाग स्कॉलर या शोधार्थी का नाम तथा तृतीय-भाग कृतकार्य का वर्ष तथा उपाधि का नाम सम्बन्धित विश्वविद्यालय का नाम के साथ दर्शाता है 

5. Can enable search with authors, titles, universities, subjects, researchers, places, (Delhi etc.) year etc. once categories are worked out.

Anyway- these are minor things- Can be dealt with once the primary stage is complete. Others might come out with more useful suggestions. 

And-

This site has MPhil thesis categorized by University. Might interest research scholars.

Thankyou.

PS- English version seems much systematic with searchability by subjects.

 Ab  Ācār Ac  Ad  Ādhu  Adhyā  Ādi  Advaita  Aesthetic  Āgam  Agni  Ahiṁs  Aitareya  Ajñāna  Alaṅkāra  Amarakośa  Amaruśataka  Anumāna  Āpastamba Appayadīkṣita  Arthaśāstra  Ārya  Āśā  Aṣṭādhyāyī  Astrological  Aśvaghoṣa  Āśvalāyana  Ātharv  Ātmā  Aucitya  Aurobindo  Avidyā  Āyurveda

Then- it would be great if both Devanagari and Roman came together- one below other.

-Thanks.

There is no dought that Prof. K. V. Sarma has done a great work by
listing all the sanskrit thesis of Indian Universities and we have to
greatful to Prof. Siniruddh Dash and Prof. Kutumba Sastry, by whose help
it has come to exit. I feel like it is not a problem. But it need to
updated time to time at least twice in a year. Which ever way you write
people will understand. It is not like earlier.

Second thing the second sanskrit commissioner can suggest for "National
Manuscript Library" where we can also preserve this thesises also they
can take care of updating this website.
All the manuscri library can either provide or borrowed a copy of there
manuscripts to make a complete Manuscript Library in India. From
individual also we will try to get of there manuscripts.
Hope that will be a great work.
