The project aims to develop a theoretical framework with the comparative and contrasting studies in the four following sub- clusters:

I. Philosophical Perspectives

II. Literary Perspectives

III. Ecological Perspectives

IV. Pedagogical Perspectives

These perspectives show affinities to Romanticisms in recent years. It will also examine, how Romantic ideas, aesthetics, and cultural practices relate to many of phenomena presentacross the continents till date. Especially in this context, India’s reception by German romanticism is historically related to the translations of Indian literature, writings on Indian philosophy, culture and historical accounts during the British colonial rule. The reception created an image of India, like the many colonized countries as the ‚exotic Other‘. That this ‘Other’ included not only the orient, but most of the colonized countries, as exemplified in diverse literary genres, non-fictional texts, which would be analysed in this cluster to explore how the romantic concepts corresponding to the Indian models and Indian aesthetics in the old and new times pave way to advanced studies in these areas. The assumption is that Romanticism with its salient features   would manifest in the imagination of the individual about the world orders, ushering in ever new insights about its conception of the rational world, and this can be studied by examining the development of Romanticism in the above said four areas.
