Abstract:
India holds a rich repository of Arabic manuscripts that testify to centuries of Indo-Arab intellectual and cultural exchange. These manuscripts, preserved in libraries, madrasas, and private collections across the country, encompass a wide range of disciplines including theology, science, philosophy, and literature. However, issues related to physical deterioration, inadequate cataloguing, and limited accessibility pose significant challenges to their scholarly use. This study examines the current state of Arabic manuscript preservation in selected Indian libraries and evaluates the accessibility for researchers and academicians. By analyzing preservation techniques, digital initiatives, and institutional policies, the paper highlights gaps and offers recommendations to enhance the management and scholarly engagement with these invaluable resources.
