[Soasiastudents] Contemporary India and Pakistan Spring Quarter

[Molly Wilskie-Kala]

Dear South Asia Students,

Here's an exciting course being offered Spring Quarter:

*SISA 200 Contemporary India and Pakistan*

An interdisciplinary introduction to the 20th century in 1/5 of the world.

SISA 200 focuses on the diverse dreams and aspirations of people in India
and Pakistan from Independence through post-colonial transitions to the
present day. How have people from various regional, linguistic, ethnic,
class, and caste backgrounds, and gender orientations, understood
possibilities for the future, and how have these visions of the good life
affected the shape of the post-colonial nation? What does globalization,
new access to expanding forms of media, and the increased foreign
investment mean for the lives of Pakistanis and Indians today?  This class
traces the history of India and Pakistan during and after Independence by
asking how ordinary as well as famous Indians and Pakistanis understood
such change and shaped it through their imaginations of possible futures.
