An Ocean of Gems: Essays on Language, Linguistics, and Education in Memory of Dhanesh Jain

An Ocean of Gems is dedicated to Dr Dhanesh Jain (1939-2019), distinguished scholar of Indian sociolinguistics and founder of Ratna Sagar, parent company of Primus Books. He was also a dedicated academic and co-editor, with George Cardona, of The Indo-Aryan Languages, a seminal reference work on the subject. As a publisher, Dhanesh Jain was an inspiration to authors and readers, tirelessly advocating and pragmatically supporting the Indian academic publishing industry with highcalibre academic reference books and Indological scholarship. As a scholar and reviewer for major presses, he recognized the urgent need for such a publishing enterprise in the humanities and social sciences, particularly in the discipline of South Asian languages. To this day, Primus Books provides a viable alternative publishing platform to academics globally.

He has also published on hermeneutics and translation practices, linguistics, and poetics in ancient and medieval India. The current areas of his interest in research and translation focus on multilingualism in India, modern Sanskrit literature, intersections of visual and literary culture, and the genre of anthology.
