Abstract
Given the large number of adaptations of Sanskrit literature, especially those based on the RÀmÀyaõa and the MahÀbhÀrata, in modern-day media, it is useful to think of a University-level postgraduate course that enables learners to critically engage with these different kinds of adaptations. This paper makes a case for the importance and necessity of such a course and suggests a broad framework based on which this course might be designed, to make it pertinent and useful to students and the society in today’s day and age. The implications of such a course for social policy and planning, including its suitability in the context of the National Education Policy, 2020, are also touched upon.
