The volume commemorates an unusual textual experiment tried out with the Natyasastra at a seminar held in New Delhi some years back. The seminar was organized by the Sangeet Natak Akademi under Shri Girish Karnad`s chairmanship and jointly convened by the late Professor K.J. Shah, Wittgenstein scholar and Professor of Philosophy at Dharwad University and Dr Amrit Srinivasan, Professor of Sociology at the IIT Delhi.
Brough together now for the first time are the papers presented at the seminar, along with Professor Shah`s working translation of the First, Sixth and Seventh Adhayayas of the Natyasastra, specially prepared for the event.
