आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

(1837–1925) Sanskrit scholar and intellectual who was the first Indian to serve
as professor of Sanskrit at Deccan
College, in Poona. Bhandarkar was one
of the first Indian academics to combine
the traditional mastery of Sanskrit texts
with critical and objective research, a
project that until then had been confined to European scholars. Bhandarkar
is emblematic of Indian intellectuals in
the late nineteenth century, who began
by learning from the Europeans but
were then able to work with the best of
them. Bhandarkar authored two
Sanskrit workbooks and numerous
scholarly texts, but his most significant
legacy is the Bhandarkar Oriental
Research Institute; it was founded in
1917 by his students, friends, and admirers and is still a highly respected
research institution.
