The course seeks to explore the emergence of modern Politics and Society in India by analyzing seminal writings related to the emergence of modernity on the Indian subcontinent. We will examine the evolution of modern South Asia from 1818 until 1947. The course surveys major figures who grappled with and helped shape social, economic and political struggles during the British colonial period. We will consider the multiple debates that went into, nation formation, economic condition, caste stratification, the role of women, and religious reform, i.e.,the complexity of the social and political discourse of the period. We will analyse primary texts, including autobiographies, speeches, dialogues, treatises, ethnography, and where possible literary fiction. Please note that this is a tentative syllabus, and we will modify it suitably as the semester progresses.
