Educational Council on Indic Traditions
"This Council therefore will be involved in the process of conducting independent research to (a) document the contributions by India to world civilization, and to (b) ascertain the degree to which the Indic traditions and their contributions are accurately and adequately portrayed in contemporary American society. Preliminary findings indicate that Indic traditions, which include Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism, have been and continue to be misrepresented, stereotyped, or pigeon-holed both in academic institutions and by the mass media."
Hinduism and Daily Life
"This is an ethnographic exhibition, telling the story of Hinduism. The central idea is to offer you a glimpse of the deep and fundamental thoughts of Hinduism; the philosophy that there is no division between past, present, future, heaven, cosmos and human beings.
To illustrate this issue we use different media like film, sound, pictures and articles. All together they tell a story of daily life in the South of India. And this is the point; www.hindu.dk is not telling the only story about India. It is telling one story, our story.
Most of the material has been collected by Lars Kjaerholm, an
anthropologist who for more than 30 years has studied and analysed South India. We have supplied his material with a number of articles written by Lars Kjaerholm, as well as some written by Kenneth G. Zysk, Heinz Werner Wessler and Kirsten Seeberg."
This project is a cooperation between Moesgaard Museum and Aarhus University.
