From the Mughals to Modernity
From the Mughals to Modernity: India's Democracy and Its Discontents
Y45.1060
Credit: Global Affairs
This course provides an overview of India's rise in the global system. Topics provide (1) an understanding of the enduring influence of the Mughal Empire, British colonialism, including dilemmas of domination, (2) India's emergence as a modern nation, particularly its experiences with independence and partition, and the evolution of India's democratic system. (3) The dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir and the pursuit of nuclear technology are explored given the subcontinent's emerging role, in contrast to China, as a world power. The voices of Indian colleagues and the use of new technologies to illuminate our understanding of content, particularly in terms of security defined in the domestic, regional and international contexts, figure prominently in our learning about contemporary issues in a pluralistic society. (4) Federal-state relations, the institutional impact and legacy of the Constitution of 1950, (5) recent legal reforms and their significance for direct foreign investment, (6) the role of political parties and the influence of dynasty politics, (7) the changes in the Indian economy since the Singh reforms and the implications for development on the subcontinent, (, (9), (10) challenges India faces in corruption, health, and infrastructure, (11) key issues related to demographics and regional disparities, (12) the on-going relevance of caste in Indian society, (13) information technology advances, and (14) the significance of the media in state-society relations figure prominently in our analysis and discussions.

iconoclasm is fine. but your kind of schoolboyish iconoclasm is just plain annoying. every now and then one feels like twisting your ears. of course this is just a feeling--i would never act on it since i do not believe in corporal punishment.

i suggest we don't start doing silly name calling. otherwise it would quickly degenerate into a slugfest with people calling you names like shikhandi, etc. as i recall you dislike being called Shikhandi despite your reluctance to reveal whether you are male or female.

Re: From the Mughals to Modernity
rashmun, like some character in a long forgotten sitcom once said "come on man....you're living in the past, man". who cares if akbar walked on three legs? most hindus dont consider mughal history as part of their history. they will always be seen as outsiders and ppl will always be against hindu-muslim synthesis as you see it.
