About this course
This course is designed to explore the dynamics of British colonialism and the making of the contemporary Indian nation-state (from the seventeenth to the twentieth century). It will examine the role of the entrepreneurs of the English East India Company in pioneering the building of an empire and the numerous strategies and institutions that sustained British power in the subcontinent for more than two centuries. The profound transformations of the economy and society and the forms of collaboration and resistance generated by the British Raj will be charted along with the formation of Hindu and Muslim political identities and the eventual emergence of India as a modern democracy and Pakistan as an Islamic dictatorship. The readings for this course will include original sources and interpretive writings by Indian and Western scholars, novels, and films. This course was formerly cross-listed as HIS 3842. Students will receive credit for AAS 3842, HIS 3842, or POL 3842. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.
