[edit] A bit of a quandary...

I've been working on biographical articles for scholars in Buddhist Studies for a while now, and just lately I've run into the problem of how to group them all. I've simply been categorizing them as "Indologists" since no "Buddhologist" category exists and I'm hesitant to create one. As it stands now, some scholars are found under lists of "Orientalists," some under lists of "Tibetologists," and some under "Indologists." All of these categories have there problems (Indology and Tibetology are plagued by the usual demons which trouble categories in Area Studies, Orientalism is now a wicked thing and I don't think that the title of "Orientalist" can be rehabilitated without a good deal of effort). So...any ideas?
