Course Descriptions

India, the inheritor of the Indus civilization is a dynamic sub-continent with diverse cultural, religious and ethnic background. This continent has a history of external occupation, cultural interaction and exchange over the millenniums by the Vedic Aryan, Greeks, Mongols, Persians, Arabs, Moguls and the Europeans. This course perceives India not as today’s territorial category governed by a particular geo-political reality but as a cultural entity extended all over South Asia and beyond. This course addresses the historical root of Indian civilization and social heritages including religion and politics; medicine and health; social and economic formation; ecology, food and dietetics; and issues from present-day India such as; gender, sex and social hierarchy; and economic globalisation.
