Jain Studies through Indian Antiquary
Dr. Navin Kumar Srivastav
[The Indian Antiquary, a Journal of Oriental Research was started in 1872 by Burgess, about 140 years ago. It was started to fulfill the need, strongly felt for bringing out a journal devoted exclusively to the study and advancement of Indian Culture in all its aspects. In fact the Indian Antiquity formed a culture bridge as it were between the East and the West.
At a time when each society had its own medium of propagation of its researches, deliberation etc., in the form of Transactions, Proceedings, Journals etc., Indology lacked it. The scope was enunciated by its founder editor was, in his own words ‘as wide as possible' incorporating Manners and Customs, Arts, Mythology, Feasts, Festivals and Rites, Antiquities and History of India. The Journal carried also a correspondence column to elicit the information and initiate discussion on matters of interest. Another laudable aim was to present the readers abstract of the most recent researchers of scholars in India and the West by translating them from German, French and another foreign tongues, besides drawing the attention of researchers by publication of articles, notes etc. of interest from the other Asiatic Society which would not have been otherwise published in this journal. Indian Antiquity also dealt with local legends, folklore, proverb etc. In short Indian Antiquity, as envisaged by the visionary Burgess was journal to the study of MANthe Indian - in all the spheres of activities of his day to day life, past and present. In fact it covered the broad spectrum of subjects what we today study in archeology, anthropology, ethnology, epigraphy numismatics, linguistic etc. The articles on Jainism, mostly by foreign scholars, presented the early phase of progress of Jain studies.]
