This paper probes how artificial intelligence (AI) might fundamentally change how we teach and read classical and modern Indian literature. It primarily focuses on AI-driven technologies that are likely to make significant strides—both in our understanding and our visionary reach—immediately accessible to our students. As education becomes increasingly tech-driven, AI presents new possibilities for enhancing accessibility,engagement, and the analytical implications of literary studies. This paper looks at AI—from tools like natural language processing and machine translation to data analysis—and attempts to answer this question: Can they help us deepen our understanding of the Indian literary canon, from its classical texts to its modern imagined worlds? Are we using AI tool kits to their fullest potential?And what will the next incarnation of AI present to us in terms of possibilities? The paper then pivots to consider the potential of using AI within educational institutions in India and tries to paint a picture of what this would look like. And it also addresses the challenges and ethical conundrums related to this issue.
