課程目標
This course will be an exploration of the intellectual history of India in the 20th century. We will look at some key exchanges that have shaped Indian thought and politics, such as those between Rabindranath Tagore and M. K. Gandhi; between M. K. Gandhi and B. R. Ambedkar. Apart from these important figures, we will also examine the intellectual efforts of Jawaharlal Nehru, an important Congressman, E. V. Ramasami ‘Periyar’, a radical reformer, Rammanohar Lohia, who conceived a sort of indigenous socialism, Marxist thinkers such as E. M. S. Namboodiripad, and others from the realm of politics, social activism and literature.
In addition we will also track the development of Indian thought in the work of philosophers and scholars, focusing on key debates in historiography (nationalist, Marxist and ‘subaltern’), sociology (caste and class, the women’s question), literary criticism (the idea of ‘Indian literature’) etc. We will see, hopefully, that implicitly or explicitly, through all these intricate routes, the common object of pursuit has been the meaning of freedom, and the possibility of thinking freedom.
