3 Preamble / Scope: -
The traditional way of learning Pali starts at an early age and gradually
develops into ethically strong basis of life. Now at the 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 from 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 l evel 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 Univers ity Department.
Taking into consideration the need, Department 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 Pali
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.
