TypeError

<p>This course is designed to introduce you to the benefits, and complexities, of studying the history of another culture and continent, and the specific issues at stake in studying a colonised society. This module fits into the Religion and Authority research strand. The course will incorporate both an in-depth study of the history of India, c.1860-1950, and the historiographical debates that have characterised post-colonial studies. To do so, it will utilise both the records of British colonial rule and Indian sources (some in translation). Special attention will be paid to regional differences and to the impossibility of treating either ‘the British’ or Indian subjects as homogeneous groups. To facilitate awareness of the complexities of colonial and post-colonial society, the course will often turn to local studies and to biographies of individuals who lived through this period of Indian history – exploring both the diversity of experience, and continuities of thought, custom and practices.</p>
