In your opinion, which relatively lesser-known author of Indian philosophy (including Buddhism, Jainism etc.) deserves more attention in current research, and why?
A Harvard University scholar in a chat on another social proposes that greater focus in ongoing research be directed towards the works of Skandasvāmin, the earliest known commentator on the Ṛgveda.

So many!
But on top William Bodri and Lilian Silburn.
I forgot to justify.
Lilian Silburn is a rare soul that is both an academic and an accomplished tantrika.
Bodri gives a very thorough description of the physical phenomena that happens as the result of the spiritual realization.
It's quite rare.
And gives an overall description of the path according to several traditions in an unifying manner.
@feral_chela@philosophy@indianphilosophy Thanks for your comment. I studied Lilian Silburn years ago but I must confess I never heard of William Bodri, whose books I'll surely search for and start to get acquainted with this evening, after work!
