Introduction to South Asian Civilization
This course will provide an overview of South Asian civilization, examining the roots of Indian culture in the ancient period, the emergence of Buddhism in the late Vedic Age, the "classical period" of kingships prior to 1200, and the Mughal Empire, which defined an "Islamic World System" in the medieval years. We will then investigate the path to European colonialism, including tracing the dynamics of caste, gender, and identity over time.
