About Kshitij Jain
I am currently pursuing my MPhil in Classical Indian Religion at the University of Oxford. My primary areas of interest include Sanskrit narratives, Jain narrative literature and specifically the questions related to how Jains engaged with the non-Jain communities through their narrative literature being situated as a minority community in pre- modern society, formulating a unique socioreligious identity of their own. Apart from this, I am also interested in the intellectual history of India, especially the ancient philosophical and political traditions of ancient India.
