This volume stems from the seminar 'Striving for Harmony in Indian Culture and Society', hosted by the Chair of South Asian Studies (Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw; 21-23 September 2023), which continues a tradition of over 25 years of cooperation among Indology centres at Charles University in Prague (Czech Republic), the University of Milan (Italy), Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), the University of Warsaw (Poland), and the University of Cagliari (Italy), with a one-time organizational contribution from the University of Calicut (India). The annual rotating seminars gather researchers studying Indian traditions from ancient times to the present day. The source material, which is diverse in many aspects - linguistic, genre, and temporal - is analysed from the perspective of the central theme of each seminar and further developed in a volume published after the meeting. The volume features selected articles by both experienced and emerging Indologists. It focuses on the notions of harmony, balance, and unity - or their absence - as explored through various disciplines, including literary studies, linguistics, philosophy, history, cultural studies, and religious studies, along with their significance within a broader socio-cultural context.
