“Sanskritization of the Epigraphic Languages in the Deccan: from the Second to the Fifth Century CE”

Fu Fan completed his M.A. in Indology at LMU in 2023 with a thesis on religious plurality, particularly non-Buddhist religious practice in the inscriptions of the Sātavāhana dynasty. His research interests include the sociolinguistics, religious history, and inscriptional texts of classical and early medieval India. His dissertation focuses on the Sanskritization of epigraphic languages from the second to the fifth century AD and the shift from Middle Indo-Aryan languages to Sanskrit in inscriptional discourse.
