Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit

The Centre for Comparative Literature offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of literature and culture across national and linguistic boundaries. Students in this field engage with texts and media from diverse global traditions, exploring how they influence, refract, and interpret one another. We move beyond single-nation literary canons to investigate themes, genres, movements, and theoretical issues in a global context. The Centre fosters a critical understanding of the interconnectedness of world cultures, providing students with advanced skills in analytical thinking, critical theory, translation studies, and the history of literary forms. Comparative Literature prepares graduates for careers in academia, publishing, international relations, media, and any field requiring sophisticated cross-cultural communication and critical insight.
