About

Welcome to the Digital Platform of the COST Action Europe’s Representations of India: Texts, Images, and Encounters (ESIND). Here, you will find a digital collection of translated excerpts from sources about India originally written in different European and non-European languages at different times from the early modern era until today. These are published with annotations, metadata, and visual illustrations. The aim is to create a reservoir of resources and data on representations of – and encounters with – India from many different parts of Europe and the surrounding regions and open this to international research and teaching communities. Via this link, you can browse through the items of the ESIND Digital Platform in terms of countries or regions of origin, time periods, source languages, and themes. If you intend to use material from the ESIND Digital Platform in published form, please be aware that the copyright for the translations is with the translator mentioned in the data for each item, unless indicated otherwise, under a Creative Commons CC BY- NC copyright license.
