INST 383 - MODERN INDIAN CULTURE AND LITERATURES

Hours: 5
This course uses literature as a major, though not the sole means, to introduce students to modern India after its independence in 1947. The course is interdisciplinary in approach. Literary readings are put in context by using two other focal points, India’s religions such as Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism, and its experience of colonization by the British to understand its varied and complex present-day culture but also to compare it to their own. It seeks to show students how such a comparative exploration can help one gain a deeper understanding of one’s own culture and individuality as well as better understand human nature.
