To:
I am happy to invite you to the second lecture of IIC-IRD's new monthly series, Kriti-SAMHiTA: The Plurality of Indian Knowledge Systems.
The series is part of SAMHiTA: South Asian Manuscript Histories and Textual Archive, an initiative of the International Research Division, IIC, to build an open online knowledge resource on manuscripts of South Asian provenance presently housed in repositories outside India. The project is supported by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. It is envisioned as a project to recover intellectual histories, re-integrate libraries, strengthen scholarship on South Asia, and explore the riches of its textual heritage, from the practical sciences to poetry to popular games.
I look forward to your participation in the conversation,
Best regards,
Sudha Gopalakrishnan

10 Years of SRI: A Decade-long Journey of creating Digital Tools for Sanskrit
Speaker: Martin Gluckman, founder Sanskrit Research Institute (SRI), Auroville
Chair: Dr. Sudha Gopalakrishnan, Executive Director, IIC-International Research Division
For the past decade SRI has been producing digital tools for the Sanskrit language and more recently the Khoe-Sān languages of Southern Africa. Martin Gluckman will present some of the works of the past decade and what is currently being worked on at SRI.
SRI is a volunteer-powered institute based in Auroville in India, dedicated to developing tools for the Sanskrit language.
Martin Gluckman completed his Sanskrit studies at ANU with Dr. McComas Taylor after studying computer science in South Africa. He founded SRI (Sanskrit Research Institute) in 2011 in Auroville and is currently collaborating with the University of Cape Town assisting with the creation of digital tools for Khoe-Sān languages. For the past decade SRI has been creating digital tools and educational resources for the Sanskrit language that are used around the world for furthering Sanskrit studies and research.
