Fed up with all the bu****it? Channel that annoyance into understanding why there is so much of it. Sign up for ASIA3272 Truth and Falsity in Indian History and Politics:

https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2021/course/ASIA3272

In the age of ‘fake news’ India finds itself at the intersection of the trajectories of a number of widely varying notions of truth, falsity, authenticity and illegitimacy. The variation in these trajectories—in their cultural origins and in their content—can make their crossings unpredictable and explosive and often unintelligible. This course will explore with students the claims and negotiations that are fundamental to some of the critical debates in Indian history and politics over the past two centuries. In particular it will aim to alert students to the possibility that underlying these contentious events, ideas and processes are contending claims to truth and authenticity.

Join us for this exciting and timely course: ASIA2271 The Making of Modern South Asia

https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2021/course/ASIA2271

This course will introduce students to the myriad visions of South Asia that have been expressed through histori- cal, social, economic, political, religious and cultural movements and debates over the past three centuries. It will focus on the crucial question: what is South Asia? In the multiplicity of dynamic and often ephemeral answers, the course will offer glimpses of the many Indias, Pakistans, Sri Lankas, and so on that reside in peoples imaginations.

Apart from opening up the world of South Asia to students, this course will also foray into questions of what it means to study Asia in the contemporary world. It will explore ways to understand the transformations the region has been undergoing.
