Description:

Social justice movements in India may be most widely known through the iconic figures of Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar, but there is a rich and diverse tradition of Indian social justice theory and action dating from the British Raj era to modern Dalit, tribal and women's movements. This course will offer students an overview of theories, thinkers and leaders in social justice in India, especially as they have evolved through the anti-colonial movement, nationalism and the freedom struggle, 20th century political and social movements, and contemporary economic, caste, and gender disparities that students will see and hear actively discussed and contested around them.
