#introduction by way of hashtags: I work on the #history of #religions and #legalhistory of #southasia and #southeastasia, esp. #India, #Nepal, and #Indonesia, mainly in #ancient and (so-called) #medieval periods. Sources in #Sanskrit, #Prakrit (Middle Indic), #OldJavanese (#Kawi), and #Tamil. Currently pursuing comparative work on legal #immunities and #exemptions in #foundation #charters. (OK, I guess those last ones make pretty recherché hashtags.)
