HIST154 CM - Makers of Modern India & Pakistan

This course focuses on Gandhi, Jinnah and Nehru, and looks at a dozen other important leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries in South Asia. We are interested in two groups of questions. The first includes: what about the social, economic, political and intellectual contexts of the period produced leaders like these? How are leaders created in modern South Asia? Who is excluded? The second cluster includes: what kind of a new nation did these leaders wish to create? What were the creative impulses in their vision? What were the limitations? We will read original works by these and other leaders and sift through the most important interpretations of their leadership.
