Talk:Indian aesthetics

Proposed merge with Rasa (aesthetics)
Indian aesthetics seems to cover lot more than the Rasa (aesthetics) page... the other article seems to be a small subset of Indian aesthetics VasuVR  ( talk,  contribs ) 08:49, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * This article (Indian aesthetics) is misnamed, as it is entirely about the theory and history of Rasas, rather than any other aspects or elements of Indian aesthetics. The entirety of Indian art, music, literature, drama and so forth is massive, and this article doesn't even attempt to discuss that massive field of aesthetic theory. Perhaps rasas are an important element of Indian aesthetics, but they are not the entirety by any means. This article should be merged into Rasa (aesthetics). Fuzzypeg★ 07:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Indeed. The article was created by copy-pasting and leaving a redirect for the old rasa article. What is left now is WP:CFORK, or inadvertent "India = Hindu" POV. Unless cogent reasons are forthcoming, we should remove content forking, leave a summary-style section here on rasa, and add sections on aesthetics in non-Hindu Indian texts.

 * Completed the merge of material; will leave it to other to add new content. Klbrain (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
