Indology refers to the academic study of India and its culture, history, literature, languages, philosophy, and religion. Indology is not only a study of India’s past but also its present and future. The term ‘Indology’ was coined in the 19th century by European scholars who developed a keen interest in India and its ancient texts, such as the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas.
