Seventy French scholars and researchers have taken up a project to chronicle the journey of Indian literature for the last 3,000 years, two Indologists from France said here. The French government is funding the project undertaken by two leading French institutes where Indology studies are undertaken, Nicholas Dejenne and Claudine Le Blanc, the academicians from France, said. It will be titles 'Dictionary Encyclopedia Indian Literature (DELI)' and the researchers are aiming to complete the first phase by the end of 2019, Blanc said. "We will also like to act as a bridge between ancient and recent Indian literature in different languages including Bengali," she said. Dejenne and Blanc are Indologists at the Sorbonne Nouvelle of Paris.
