| The Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies provides students with an opportunity to study the civilizations of South Asia and of related cultures by developing competence in Sanskrit or another South Asian language, and by examining the literature, the religious and philosophical traditions, the aesthetic and artistic traditions, and the moral and social traditions of that civilization. | |

| While
the Department of Sanskrit and Indian Studies is small, the resources available
to students at Harvard are not, and include related degree programs and courses
in Anthropology, Religions, Linguistics, Economics, Fine Arts, Inner Asian and
Altaic Studies, Social Medicine, and Near Eastern Languages, among many others.
In addition, the Sanskrit Library (Widener A) and the Widener and Houghton Libraries
contain a collection of reference works, periodicals, and tape recordings of oral
recitations, as well as one of the largest collections of Sanskrit and Tibetan
manuscripts and printed texts in the West.
