Contemporary South Asia

Catalog description

Contemporary South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, and the Maldive Islands) contains a diversity of languages, cultures, religions and histories. It is also one of the most densely populated regions of the world. Using a thematic approach to study modern South Asia, this course places this region into historical, political, and socio-economic contexts across the dividing line of empires and nation-states.
