Description:

This course is a study of India in the eighteenth, nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. Topics provide an understanding of the origins of an Asian democracy through our study of the British colonial legacy, dilemmas of domination, India's emergence as a modern nation, its experiences with independence and partition and the evolution of its democratic system. The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is analyzed in historical context to learn from a case study that illustrates the nature of ethnic conflict, nationalism and the implications for the balance of power. Historical insights provide knowledge of the various experiences of the post-colonial state, which play a major role in shaping the international system.
