HISTORY 285 - History of South Asia

Institution:

Roanoke College

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the major themes and topics of South Asian culture, and history. "South Asia" includes the modern states of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Our course will focus largely on Indian topics, but since most of the course predates the rise of nationalist states, the term South Asia is the more appropriate term. Besides addressing issues fundamental to understanding South Asian cultures and their history, this course will also make connections to the disciplines of history, anthropology, sociology, and linguistics through discussion of methodology and interpretation.
