Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

By the end of the lecture course, the students will have acquired a thorough overview over the history of South Asien in the years 1400-1800 CE. They will understand the cultural legacy of this time and its meaning today: How was South Asia when the British came? How did it become like that? Why is there so much Persian in Hindi? (And in most other South Asian languages too.) Why do 30 % of all Muslims live in South Asia? Why is that a source of conflicts? Why can South Asia not be understood without the Mughal Empire? Etc.
