McComas Taylor led the South Asia Program at the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University in Canberra. His research lies at the intersection of contemporary critical theory and classical Sanskrit narrative literature, with a primary focus on the construction of 'truth' in the Foucauldian sense within the Sanskritic and Hindu episteme. He began his work in this area with narrative fables from the Pañcatantra cycle and has published extensively, including the book 'Indigo Jackal', released by SUNY Press in 2007. Taylor's recent interests include textual studies of mahāpurāṇas, where he explores authorial strategies aimed at empowering puranic discourse. He has also studied contemporary oral renditions of puranic texts, particularly the Bhagavatapurana, examining how performative ritual practices can empower discourse.
