Synopsis Essays collected in this anthology offer glimpses of Indian response to Shakespeare, the myriad minded genius of the world. Shakespeare has influenced the Indian readers, researchers, translators, directors and actors very deeply. The Indian scholars with various cultural and linguistic backgrounds have tried to appropriate the beauty and meaning of Shakespearean in their own way like the five blind men in the Buddha’s story trying to understand the elephant and shown the way to the future scholars of India to pursue fruitfully. Among the contributors to this volume are both the senior and the younger scholars of India like R.S. Pathak, Mohit K. Ray, Shweta Khanna, Basavaraj Naikar, Rama Kundu, O.P. Budholia, Sudhir Dixit, Sahdeo Chougule, B.G. Tandon, Nivedita Mukerjee, Shabiba Khan and Narasimha Ramayya, who have dealt with various aspects of Shakespearean drama in the Indian context.
