 Indology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indology would not typically include the study of the contemporary economy, government, or politics of South Asia, except insofar as these sometimes express issues that are deeply embedded in South Asian history, and may be illuminated by indological methods and insights.
These include cultural or social anthropology, cultural studies, historical linguistics, philology, textual criticism, literary history, history, philosophies and the study of the religions of South Asia, such as Vedic religion, Brahmanism, Jainism, Buddhism, Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Sikhism, etc., besides the indigenous forms of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in South Asia.
Some scholars distinguish classical indology from modern indology, the former more focussed on Sanskrit and other ancient language sources, the latter making more use of contemporary language sources and sociological approaches.

 Fachgebiet Indologie, Uni Marburg
Based on this lectures and seminars are offered on the canonical literature of Tibetan Buddhism, the traditional commentary literature connected to them, the survival of Indian styles and material in Tibet and Mongolia, on epic, historiographical and pre-classical texts, as well as on the history of the Tibetan language.
These languages are intended to serve as an introduction to the significant areas of Indian thought: the religions (Vedism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism), the philosophical systems connected with the religions, aesthetical as well as the scientific, technical literature, and cultural history.
The Philipps University of Marburg was founded in 1527 and although Sanskrit was taught in 1845 full-time Indology in the true sense of the term has been active since 1853.

 IMC India - Western Indology versus the Indic Tradition:
Western Indology does not understand the philosophy of India, its emphasis on dharma and karma, liberation and enlightenment, or its great traditions of Yoga and meditation.
The monumental literature of the Vedas—the largest of the ancient world and given a spiritual and cultural reverence throughout India throughout its history—is reduced to the record of illiterate invading hordes or pastoral nomads which really didn’t deserve to be preserved.
Indic civilization is not necessarily hostile to western civilization but it does proceed by different values and according to a different perception of humanity, nature and the universe, apart which we cannot make sense of it.

 Indological Department, University of Bonn
Among his specialisations were the Indian "epics" Mahabharata and Ramayana, Indian philosophy and history of religions, poetics, astronomy, the literature of Jainism (the sister religion of Buddhism) and pioneer work in Sanskrit and Middle Indo-Aryan (Prakrit) languages.
Note: The following brief introduction on the history and presence of indology at the University of Bonn is not meant to be a conclusive essay.
One of the few early indologists who did visit India was Martin Haug (1827-1876) who finished his habilitation in Bonn in 1854 and was professor of Sanskrit in Pune (India) from 1859-1866, where he established contacts with learned Hindu and Parsi men of letters.

By the late nineteenth century, orthodox university Indology had weaned itself in everyday practice of its earlier romantically-inspired enthusiasm for India, and what remained was a much more narrow positivistic philology.

Many people of Indian origin are asking questions that are not answered by the British inspired educational system in India.
The key to bringing about a Dharmic Renaissance for Sanathana Dharma and the global Dharmic Community (the “Dharmasya”) is to rebuild the destroyed Dharmic Theological Universities and reinterpret Ancient Scriptures for modern times (“Dharmic Constructive Theology”).
I observed that most of the articles refers to Sanskrit, Vedas, Manu-smriti etc.

 Tamil Studies in Germany - Thomas Malten
The reason for the establishment of Tamil Studies at the university level in Germany can be found in the recognition of the fact that Tamil is the only classical literary language of India besides Sanskrit and that Tamil language and literature have developed tremendously in many branches, particularly during the last 100-150 years.
Berger, after becoming head of the department of Indology at the South Asia Institute of the University appointed Dr. Ayy¤turai T¤m–taraÊ (Ayyadurai Dhamotharan), a linguist from the University of Trivandrum to head its Tamil section in 1968.
The only explanation I can find for the rather late establishment of Tamil Studies in Germany, is that in the first part of this century the history of Germany was overshadowed by the catastrophies of the two world wars.
