Abstract

This paper was presented by the author at a seminar. The focus of the paper is on the changes that the author has experienced over the years in a study of South Asian traditions. It begins with a few observations about the author's career and about the seminar. While we still do study traditions for their own sakes, we also look for connections and interactions among traditions. In short, there has been the recognition that traditions are not isolated from one another nor are they isolated from political, economic, and cultural developments and forces. More significantly it tells us that the range of offerings at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) concerning South Asian traditions is considerably more diverse than it was when the author first joined the AAR. Keywords:American Academy of Religion (AAR); South Asian religions
