The primary objective of this course is to familiarise students with basics of social science approaches to better understand that world we live in. Social realities are often complex due to continuous interactions of varied nodes of identities, socio-political institutions, and economic relations that shape individual lives and collectives. This course introduces students to the basic theories, methods, and particular contributions of economics, political science, and sociology . It would focus on - a) how social scientists study critical questions about economic development, political regimes, social systems, among others, and b) understanding the complexities and challenges of democracy and governance using India as a case study, in relation to other relevant examples depending on the theme.Through the course, students will familiarise with various research designs to understand the social-political realities and how to interpret basic quantitative data. The course intends to develop the thinking, writing, and communication abilities of students. It will also provide important tools for analyzing the material covered in other courses, especially in social sciences.
