The world is increasingly realizing the power of psycho-spiritual transformation encapsulated in various yoga traditions. These yoga traditions essentially are traditions for knowing the ultimate truths and secrets of existence, which were the norm of knowledge pursuit in classical India that gave rise to a distinct yogic cosmology. All societies create their society based on the truths that are accessed by their thinkers, philosophers, and seers. It is therefore an anomaly for a profoundly “spiritual” worldview to produce such a hierarchical and oppressive society that India has become. Things simply do not add up. When one studies the British colonial period of India, one finds that the Britishers made significant interventions to transform India and the Hindu society by tinkering with the earlier precolonial varna and jati equations. This course is a study as to how the Hindu society was turned hierarchical and oppressive during the colonial rule.
The class will meet every week on Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM PST/ 2 PM to 5 PM EST from [dates]. Every week there will be assigned readings which the students are required to study and come prepared to the class to hold discussions with the instructor and with one another in a self-reflective and engaging manner. The readings will not take more than six hours of study and reflection, though the student is free to devote more than six hours if he or she feels inspired to engage in additional research and reflection. Students will be required to write a mid-semester paper and a final-term paper. The mid-semester paper should be 4-5 pages long, describing key learnings in the course. In the final week of the class, the student is required to submit a final 15–20-page research paper (minus bibliography) on a topic which agrees with the theme of the course. Both the papers should be double spaced and written in Times New Roman.
