Visions of Greater India offered a wide-ranging study of the overlapping scholarly and nationalist quest for the legacies of ancient Indian cultural agency in different geographies from the late eighteenth century onwards, and showed that research on the Indian cultural factor in the Far East was often informed by overt assertions or subtle assumptions of Indian civilizational superiority and exceptionalism. This book foregrounded a new generation of Indian intellectuals whose formative study experiences at the Sorbonne in Paris, research trips to the Kern Institute in Leiden, and travels across Asia culminated in the Greater India movement during the mid-1920s. It reconstructed how Calcutta became the South Asian node in a transimperial knowledge network that synchronized the research agendas of the Greater India Society, Indological clusters in Paris and Leiden, the Archaeological Service of the Dutch East Indies in Batavia, and L’École française d’Extrême-Orient in Hanoi. But Greater India was more than a transimperial research paradigm that influenced the framing and interpretation of cultural heritage from the Silk Roads to Central Java.
