HIST 3489 - Democracy and popular politics in India (3 Cr.)
Course description
Democracy is not only a political order; it is also a popular culture and politics. This course explores three tumultuous moments of this politics and culture in India: the pluralist nationalism which characterized Gandhian nonviolence and the Indian constitution, the majoritarianism that was often this pluralism’s undertow, and Hindutva or Hindu supremacism, the now dominant populist ideology.
