India is an important, dynamic part of today's world.
The India Studies major equips students to understand and become engaged with a complex and exciting part of the world. This major gives students a competitive edge in the increasingly global market.
Professor Beckwith published a new book in January, 2023: The Scythian Empire: Central Eurasia and the Classical Age from Persia to China(Princeton University Press). It includes the Achaemenid "Persian" Empire, which ruled NW ancient India, the probable historical home of Buddha Śākyamuni ('the Scythian sage'). The book includes a long section on Early Buddhism.
The Scythian Empire has been reviewed in a number of journals including the Wall Street Journal (in January, 2023) and a mini-review in The New Yorker (also in January, 2023). These glowing reviews can be found here: ‘The Scythian Empire’ Review: The Riders From the Steppe - WSJ and The Best Books We’ve Read in 2023 So Far | The New Yorker
