    $200.00

    HSF1007 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) This course, targets an age group of 18-35 and will explore the question – Is Hindu Dharma relevant in the contemporary world? If so, in what way?

Set in a conversational format, with lively Questions and Answers and Group discussion, the course enables students to explore and discover for themselves, the timeless relevance of Vedic Hindu thought in a modern context.

    The course is especially relevant for those who wish not only to explore and embrace Hindu Dharma for themselves, i.e., their own lives, but also represent and communicate the essence and value of Vedic teachings in an environment suffused with western ideas.

    Disease through the Lens of Ayurveda

    $200.00

    TAT1102 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) Ayurveda is a holistic and complete consciousness-based wellness paradigm that has its origins sourced straight from the timeless Vedas. One of its primary goals has been to eliminate the cause of pain and suffering of the human condition beginning with the knowledge of the self – both physically and spiritually.

    Ayurveda has a unique approach of observing the human being as conscious matter not just in health but also in distress, and illness. In this course, students will learn how common diseases and disorders are viewed and approached through Ayurveda in an intuitive yet systematic blend of philosophy, pharmacy and indigenous knowledge.

    Distortions in Indian Historiography

    $400.00

    HAM4301 – This course traces the distortions in the historiography of medieval and modern India, discernible since the Independence of India. Students will learn about the historical background, key events and trends that remain influential today. In particular, we will take a close look at the phenomenon of “Negationism” or the systematic and mostly willful denial of facts of history. It will also evaluate the scholarly and political impact of the various forms of history manipulation and the prospects for their correction.

    The literature on the Left’s willful distortion of communal history in India is limited: S.L. Bhyrappa, Sita Ram Goel, K.S. Lal; Koenraad Elst; Arun Shourie; Meenakshi Jain, D.K Chakrabarti. By contrast, the so-called secularist literature on Hindu communal historiography is plentiful but extremely repetitive: Sarvepalli Gopal, Gyanendra Pandey, AG Noorani and many other academics and journalists, both Indian and foreign.

    Since we are specifically interested in how this phenomenon impacts contemporary political discourse and practice, we will concentrate on the former but will also take cognizance of a sample of the latter. We will also remain alert to the possibility that the attempt to diagnose the errors in historiography can themselves introduce new kinds of history distortion.

    Gandhian Philosophy

    $1,500.00

    CPS7503 – The relevance of Mahatma Gandhi for the contemporary world, characterized by turbulence, is indisputable. Gandhi’s principles of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (love for the truth) stemmed from his religious tradition, and he applied these principles to political action in South Africa and India.

    Gandhian ideas such as frugal economy, Gram Swaraj (grass-roots democracy), Ram Rajya (ideal state), trusteeship, social service, Swadeshi (self-reliance), bread-labor, social and religious harmony, and optimal use of resources will also be explored in the course. The course, while evaluating Gandhian perspective on conflict resolution and peacebuilding, critically examines ideas of Gandhi in academic and policy debates towards the development of rich and multiple perspectives and pathways to address the gap between principles and practice.

    It also proposes Gandhian solutions to contemporary global issues including, but not limited to, inter-state and intra-state conflicts, climate change, religious extremism, rich-poor divide, education, economic development, and women empowerment. The students taking this course will apply a Gandhian perspective on the prevailing discourses on human life and society and appreciate the significance of dialogue among civilizations and cultures.
