SOCIOLOGY 291 - Society in IndiaIn

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

this course, students explore the present complexity of Indian society: class, caste, and gender relations in the particular form they take in India. They do this through the study of the ideology and practice of key social relations and imaginaries that characterize India: such as development, nationalism, caste, patriarchy, and communalism. Paying preliminary attention to pre-colonial and colonial India, students focus primarily on postcolonial India to understand the social formation of its public and political culture. The task in this course is to understand multiple histories and representations of what it means to be an Indian citizen in the present. No prerequisites. (Roy, offered alternate years)
