    PHS8302 – In the colonial and postcolonial contexts, there have been many attempts both by Indians and western people to situate the darshanic or, loosely translated, the philosophical worldview of Hinduism as science. “Yoga is scientific” or “Vedas are scientific” is a very common refrain that one hears in contentions and discussions today.

    This course critically examines if the darshanic or philosophical underpinnings of Hinduism qualify as science or exceed the definition of science by gaining an in depth understanding of science as understood by its philosophers.

    CPS6505 – Kautilya’s Arthaśāstra, written around 300 BC, is a text on statecraft, on political realism. It deals with various topics including war and diplomacy, how a king can retain his kingdom and become a conqueror, how to make allies and know the enemies, and how to make treaties. It focuses on elements, what can be termed in modern usage diplomacy, such as the doctrine of a silent war, propaganda, secret agents, how to use women as weapons of war, and how to use religion and superstition to advantage.

    According to Kautilya, “power is (possession of) strength” and “strength changes the mind.” More importantly, Kautilya emphasized power to control not only outward behavior but also the thoughts of one’s subjects and enemies. Kautilya is the founder of Mandala Theory of foreign policy, which can be termed as a precursor of the theories of political realism and balance of power. He favored righteous war than greedy and demoniacal wars.

    The course will delve into various elements of this insightful text and juxtapose the main ideas in the text with similar theories and approaches in the modern world. The students will be able to draw parallels between the core ideas embedded in this ancient text with many modern ideas.
