Mukunda and Prof. Joydeep Bagchee discuss Indology, Philology, Historism and the Mahabharata. We discuss the issues and history of Indology and Philology then we jump to the basics of the composition of the Mahabharata and the themes that it delves into. We broach many topics including racism in historical Indology, how modern Indology has shaken those roots, the Mahabharata as a text and how it was interpreted over the past 150 years, ahimsa, dharma and much more.
