COURSE TESTIMONIALS:

“I have not seen such a comprehensive, clear, and forward-looking account of India in my recent years of research into Indian culture.”

"I loved the energy the instructor embedded in each lecture. He seems to be passionate about his subject and masters the content."

"There is so much I've learned form this course that I never learned from my history courses back in my K-12 years. On top of that, I have come to love India more than I previously did, and I previously lived in India to study Hindi and Hinduism at my university - so that says a lot."

"[I] Learned much about the country that I'd not known before: its past strengths, its tremendous growth possibilities, use of technology to develop in non-traditional ways versus Europe, China and the Americas. Makes me think more about global influences of ALL countries and how diverse the world is in culture, language, social and political policies, diversities within as well as outside of countries and how the world may be in fifty or 100 years from now. Enormously exciting.”

Why is it India likes to call itself the largest democracy in the world when it comes to the development of the country? What happens since 1947 and China's economy is now 5x bigger? Where is the logic here?
