B.A./M.A. Five Years Integrated Course (Pali)
Preamble: the traditional way of learning Pali starts at an early age and gradually
develops into ethically strong basis of life. Now at t he university though we
cannot give the monastic kind of training to the students, the need of the time is -
a very strong foundation of sound mind and body, facing the stress and challenges
of the life. There is necessity of Pali learning for a long time f rom early age which
few schools in Maharashtra are giving, but not near Mumbai. Mumbai University
has only one college which satisfies the need of Pali learning at the undergraduate
and graduate level those too only three papers in Pali.
The interest in the study of Pali language and literature is on the rise. There is an
increasing demand for the courses in Pali from the undergraduate level for
intensive and explicit Pali study at the University Department. Taking into
consideration the need, Departme nt of Pali has proposed Five Year Integrated
MA in Pali, where one can dedicate his/her entire attention to the learning of the
Pali language and literature, and thus can venture into concentrated research in
Pali which is the need of the day. Secondly Pal i being the international language,
the increasing demand of the scholars of Pali in and outside India into different
areas of Buddhist studies like art and architecture, archaeology, numismatics and
epigraphy, travel and tourism is also one of the reasons for such a course in Pali.
The library, the guidance available at the university level is also supportive to the
course.
