Study of comparative religions in Indian universities

[Pankaj Jain]

At a recent conference panel on study of religions in South Asia, several 
scholars observed the lack of such courses in India. I thought of finding 
out how many such courses or departments exist in India and came out with 
following results. I invite inputs/suggestions to help develop this list
